The Bank Hotel Istanbul, a Member of Design Hotels

Breakfast was excellent and of good quality. The location was ideal for the Historical peninsula and Istiklal Street. One of the rooms was perfect as per the description given by booking.com

We had booked 2 rooms of the same quality & price. Subsequently, it was found that the reception had actually given a room ( 255 ) which was in another wing and the size being that of a lower level, about 24m2. The other room 141 was nearly 30M2 as per the booking and in the main wing. I spoke to the reception about this and was given various excuses. I had to remind them that the booking was made several weeks before arrival for the same quality of rooms and being full was not an excuse either. I also advised the reception that this matter should be escalated to the manager for a proper resolution. It was not !!

Great location with easy walking distance to many sights Fantastic breakfast with many options incl great gluten free bread (on request) Stunning l’occitane bathroom products Very kind and friendly staff Roof top bar with great views

Cupboard space was very small and only 2 small drawers -only 1 hook in the bathroom -would be an easy fix to add more to be able to hang gowns and towels -we stayed five nights probably fine for a single business traveler

The hotel is perfectly located. Very clean and very nice design. Good and helpful staff (recommended us really tasty restaurant with a good view)

Absolutely uncomfortable bed and pillows. The mattress is so hard and such stiff and tough pillows that it was absolutely impossible to sleep. You are just unable to find a proper pose to sleep. If the hotel would change the mattresses and pillows would stay there again for sure

Beautiful hotel. The design was impeccable. So much attention to details, and everything was well thought after. High ceiling and spacious room was a bonus too.

Soundproofing needed. We could hear every footsteps from the room upstairs. Any sound from the hallway outside also can be heard, way past midnight. Breakfast choices could be improved. For a 5 stars hotel which charges quite a bit for breakfast, it’s a bit much to charge any coffee order (cappuccino, etc) during breakfast (outside the standard black coffee).

The hotel is modern, the room comfy and big enough! The breakfast offers a good variety (Fresh orange juice, watermelon, different bread, turkish breakfast, eggs benedigt, scrambled, etc. as well as waffles and pancakes). The location is good and very close to the Galata-Tower and Bosporus. Every evening you will get a delicious chocolate in your room! Thank you :-)

I don't understand why the cappuccino in the morning has to be charged on top. In a 4-Star Hotel i expect this to be included in the price... I was also disappointed that the staff is not really speaking fluent english (but we had this all over Turkey...). It made our stay a little bit more complicated, anyhow the staff is super friendly and tries it best!!!

The hotel is in a nice old building and felt very private. The room was comfortable and the layout was well thought out. Bed was extremely comfortable!! Location is also very good with it being a stone's throw away from the Karakoy tunel as well as the tram! More than all that, the staff and the service they provided was excellent. They were all very friendly and attentive, making the stay all the more comfortable!

Nothing!

Amazing hotel in a great location, rooms feel v luxurious due to the decor and the high ceilings. Walking distance to Galata Tower, Istiklal as well as to the ferry going to the old city & Asian side. Also well connected via public transport, we did not need to use cabs or rent a car. The staff was incredibly hospitable and helpful, went above and beyond helping us to book airport transfers, make dinner reservations and even arranged a private tour guide for us. It was our first time in Istanbul and the Bank Hotel was definitely a key factor in our overwhelmingly positive experience! We can't wait to be back :)

Staying at The Bank hotel was a truly unforgettable experience. 1. Location - The location was great. It is close to Istiklal street which is great for shopping. It is very close to Galata tower which had some great bars around. We could catch a cab right down the street and it was walking distance from the Tram station. The vibe of the hotel was fantastic. 2. Room - The tiny bank-themed details around the hotel and in the room were lovely. The room was good-sized and had a super comfortable bed. 3. Hospitality - But what made our experience even better was - the staff, the service & hospitality. A special shout out to the hotel bartender - Fatih - for some great drinks and conversations.

From the moment I arrived at this hotel, I knew my stay was going to be more than special. From the friendly and most helpful staff to the exquisite decor with a lot of personal and attentive details thrown in - this hotel was by far the highlight of my trip. The welcome gifts of; chocolates, post-cards and key-rings were an absolutely thoughtful surprise, in addition to all those nice treats, the toiletries added that extra-level of luxury - the choice of L'Occitane products complimented by an larger than life shower and comfortable bed made for an out of this world experience. My only regret was that I didn't stay longer. If you appreciate coming back to an extremely comfortable and magnificently designed room after a long day of shopping and walking around the city than this is the place for you. In addition to all the nice personal touches that come with the whole experience of staying here, the staff are real gems that ensure you are well taken care of. I will without a doubt be returning to this hotel on my next trip to Istanbul.

Absolutely nothing - I've hopped around multiple hotels over the course of my trip and this one by far was the best in every category. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.

I want to thank the all The Bank Hotel TEAM! You are the best! You are wonderful and helpful people who constantly helped me with everything. I organized a family trip for a large family and everyone was pleased with the service, the aesthetics and atmosphere of the hotel. Thanks a lot! The best hotel in Istanbul if you want to spend a good time. With great gratitude, Polina Yakirevich
