Wonderful

Our recent stay at this hotel was nothing short of amazing. The location is superb, making it easy to explore all the local attractions. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of options to suit every taste.
The highlight of our stay was the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. We faced a sudden change in our flight schedule and needed a late checkout. Erdem went above and beyond by making a phone call and arranging for us to stay until 9 pm free of charge. This thoughtful gesture made our experience truly outstanding.
Thank you so much, Erdem, for your exceptional service and hospitality. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning in the future.
I had a wonderful stay at Bankerhan Hotel. The staff are all wonderful and always ready to help with recommendations and directions. It's clean, safe and centrally located.
I highly recommend Bankerhan Hotel. Extremely well located close to Galata Tower. The room was clean and very comfortable.
The staff (Erdem & Cagdas) were amazing - always helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Always smiling and ready to assist. They made my stay very special.
I look forward to my return to Istanbul and stay at Bankerhan Hotel again.
Location wise is almost perfect except for being a bit harder to find ( back lane ) and quite hilly surrounding area . Staff was very friendly and breakfast very good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Close to Gelata Tower. Some steep steps/ roads and uneven pavements in the vacinity. Many restaurants and shops nearby. Limited facilities but very friendly and helpful staff
Got free upgrade to a sea view room. Room was clean and cozy. Staffs were all super friendly and helpful. Great breakfast. Location was extremely convenient, 5 mins walk to both Galata Bridge and Galata Tower. You can jump onto T1 tram from the Galata bridge station to go south for famous mosques, old palace and great bazaar. Highly recommend.
Our twin room was small but we were only there to sleep, so was fine. The hotel was spotless, breakfast was fresh and plentiful, and our receptionist was fantastic.
Nice place though up a short steep hill. Good value, especially for the money. Great staff and breakfast.

Location is great, close to public transportation, Galata Bridge & Tower and easy to walk to other neighborhoods in the New City.
Breakfast staff lovely and night front desk staff helpful.
Overall excellent but could be improved by bedside tables. Overhead shower was a bit weak (side shower fine). Shaving mirror loose. Somewhere to hang the large towels would be good. This was room 401
We have been waken up in the middle of the night by strong sewage odours. Room was not soundproof, we were hearing people shouting in the corridor in the middle of the night. We didn’t feel safe. To turn the bathroom lights on, we had to turn on the lights of the whole room so you can’t go to the bathroom without waking up your partner.
