An excellent choice
Travelled on 10/2024
Luxurious and stylish hotel in a very good location close to Karakoy pier and tramstop. A short walk uphill to Istikal, the main shopping street.
We particularly enjoyed our nightly 'sundowners' in the roof top bar, which has stunning views over the Bosphorous and across to Sultanhamet.
Our room was spacious and very comfortable.
Breakfast choices were excellent, hot and cold. Attentative and helpful staff.

Lovely hotel
Travelled on 10/2024

Very pleasant staff. Nothing was too much trouble.
And it is in a good area for sightseeing. Just cross the river to Sultan Ahmet for the Grand Bazaar etc.
In the evening nice to have a drink on the rooftop bar at the Bank and gaze over the city.

Great service.

We spent three nights at the Bank Hotel and had an awesome time. The staff were super friendly, and our room looked great and was really clean. There are some cool cafes and restaurants nearby, plus the T1 tram, ferry, and tunnel are just a few minutes away on foot. It made things so convenient- no streets about traffic or finding a taxi....
