Great value and location
Service was friendly and they really just made every effort you could ask for. Rooftop is a beautiful view and very relaxing. Spa was pretty good. Turkish bath was super fun as a couple. Massages were could but tables were cool I’d like them heated.

We liked this hotel so much, that we booked our 2nd stay to return. Here are the positives, central location with easy access to public transportation and Istanbul's main attractions, clean, great amenities, SPA, gym, rooftop bar and restaurant (excellent). They paid every attention to the details and even the hotel scent was carefully planned. Breakfast was a treat but the best was the STAFF. They were always present and willing to assist, we never had to ask twice for anything. Oh and the antique elevator! Our daughter was so thrilled by this, although it could only fit 2 persons. We would highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Istanbul. Negatives- Maybe the neighborhood several blocks to the east is a little rough, but that is beyond their control. All in all a good find, and we will be back...

Stunning Decor, Lacking Personal Touch
The Bank Hotel in Istanbul is a stunning property housed in an old bank, featuring exquisite marble details. Although the location has its pros and cons—it's convenient for tram users with the Karaköy station nearby, but taxi or Uber users may face long waits due to the hotel's placement on a busy, narrow street. The hotel's potential is somewhat undermined by the reception experience. The small reception area is often manned by only one or two staff members who are overwhelmed with tasks, from attending to guests to managing access to the popular rooftop bar. This results in a reception that often feels rushed and stressed, impacting the overall guest experience. A particular inconvenience occurred during our checkout day concerning breakfast service. We were informed breakfast started at 7 AM, not 6:30 AM as we had thought. Despite the food being visibly ready and our early flight, the waiting staff, adhering strictly to management's rules, refused to serve us earlier. This rigid adherence to rules without consideration for guest circumstances was disappointing. Furthermore, interactions at the rooftop bar and with the breakfast staff were mixed. Staff frequently removed menus prematurely and there was confusion over our eligibility for breakfast, indicating a lack of communication and attention to detail expected in a 5-star boutique hotel. Despite its beauty and prime location, The Hotel could improve its service to truly meet the standards of a 5 star boutique hotel.
