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!

My 5 days at the Bank hotel

Everything cool but …the me yes and everything written on cards etc et VERY LITTLE LETTERS ..and with the addition that the paper they use is brown it makes it much more difficult ti read it. Its a unusual that in the breakfast everything is included but … if you ask for a cappuccino they will charge it …😳. Nice hotel. Nice location !

Lovely place to stay near Galata Tower

Not the cheapest place to stay, but reasonable by western standards, especially given the high level of service in a classic, elegant building in an excellent location. The spa services - especially the packaging of massage and hammam - were wonderful (though, again, not very cheap by Istanbul standards). The breakfast was excellent and included made-to-order eggs. The room was very comfortable, with all the amenities one would expect in a high-end hotel.
