Well located in walking distance to Galataport area and transportation of all forms. Easy to get taxi or take trams. Can walk to old district and sight see. Main complaint was the noise at night. Can hear music and traffic coming from street. Also had intermittent sewage smell, fortunately only lasted couple minutes! Staff were helpful and very courteous. Overall I enjoyed our stay very much!

Simply the best

We have stayed at the Bank Hotel so many times now... for us it is like a home away from home... and that is how we are always treated by the staff. Like family. The hotel provides a beautiful oasis away from the bustle of the streets and the staff are simply the best. The position is perfect... within easy walking distance of the Galata and the Golden Horn.. Over the years we have brought friends and family and they have all loved it. Our deepest gratitude to Osman, Sahar and the team Bank Hotel. We cant wait to come back again!

Great hotel to visit in Istanbul

For our first visit to Istanbul, this was the perfect location. Thanks to the excellent transport system everything is in easy reach. The hotel scores on every front. It is beautifully designed, the staff are helpful and attentive, the room is comfortable and with all the amenities you would expect from a quality hotel. A lovely surprise was the birthday cake produced for my wife. Definitely where we'd stay on a return visit.
