“Historic bank turned flawless base”
The Bank Hotel Istanbul occupies a beautiful former bank building that guests cannot fault: a central spot close to the main sights, very friendly staff who added an extra bed promptly when a sofa proved fixed, spacious new rooms, cleaning beyond praise with complimentary chocolates and welcome drinks, and a rooftop restaurant and bar overlooking the Golden Horn with a Galata-comparable view. Breakfast is tasty and service ideal — one guest preferred it outright to a larger chain hotel used earlier.
