The Bank Hotel Istanbul

"It was mine and my husband's first time to Turkey, and our stay at the The Bank Hotel was the perfect way to begin our trip. The hotel is well located in the Galata area with the main tourist attractions just across the Galata Bridge. The area is very vibey with its narrow streets and alleys and all sorts of different shops, the perfect place to explore on foot. We were welcomed very warmly at the hotel. The reception staff were very friendly and always happy to assist with any questions that we had about the hotel or things to do in the area. Our room was a bit small but the attention to detail with the personalised card, chocolatesand amenities that were waiting in our room more than made up for it. The space was clean and we had a little balcony outside. The hotel also has a stunning rooftop bar which beautiful views across to the mosques across the Galata bridge. On the whole, The Bank is a beautiful boutique hotel and great value for money. We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul."

"This hotel is the epitome of classy, intuitive customer care. The interior exudes old world charm with new world conveniences. From the cozy bedroom with a perfectly situated balcony, to the exquisite marble bathroom , the energy here is subtle luxury. The front desk staff is well informed , friendly, & customer focused. They are expertly led by Sahar, Guest Relations Mgr. Her attention to the details of my birthday trip, celebrating me, rivaled every other hotel I’ve visited. She surprised me with a birthday cake, after I mentioned the reason for my visit!! (I’m a retired flight attendant, and I know hotels!😜) The Bank will be my home in Istanbul from now onward!! What a superb find!!"

"This is a lovely hotel that unfortunately does not have air conditioning that can be controlled in each room. Our room was very hot but it was too loud to open the windows. They gave us a fan to blow the hot air around but sadly that didn’t help much. A hot room ruins a hotel for me."
