Guest Reviews
- Kristian (10/5): - Great location for getting around Istanbul. The room was very comfortable and had clever layout. Would recommend!
- Samuel (8/5): - Location is very good, close to public transportation, the staff are helpful.
- Iain (8/5): Good Option - Located a short walk from Galata Tower, considering the area it is lacking a little in vibes but v.clean, staff were good and friendly.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location, but overall a mediocre experience. The good: perfect location to explore Galata and Karaköy or pick up the tram, friendly staff, solid breakfast spread, decent view from the higher floors The not-so-good: cleanliness (floor in my room had that gritty dirty feeling), a non-working showerhead, air-conditioning option was not enabled on my thermostat so I had to choose between either a very warm room or street noise and smells from an open window. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned / as is fairly clear from photos online, the bathrooms only separated with a lightly frosted glass partition and in my particular room the door was not even frosted - something to keep in mind if privacy is a concern.
- Marc (6/5): - Welcome was far from warm - hardly looked up from desk sometimes. Room never cleaned in whole time we stayed. Fridge was warm. Badly designed room. Only saved by the incredible view
- Ashley (10/5): - What a wonderful gem of a property in an amazing location! Employees were super friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend.
- Ashraf (10/5): - Close to Galata tower and Karakoy With some stairs and and short up and down streets you are close to trams and busses
- Piotr (10/5): Exceptional Stay at a Superb Location - 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.
- Yasmin (10/5): - 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.
- james (10/5): - Good local and staff. Clean And modern rooms but small.
- james (10/5): - Great location, very helpful staff, nice, clean (somewhat small) rooms.
- Ada (10/5): - We stay for few days at the hotel and we had a great experience. Clean, safe area and close to everything. 100 recommended
- Kirvyn (10/5): - 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.
- Riad (10/5): - Great place!
- eytan (10/5): - loved it thank so much great location
- Abdi (10/5): - highly recommend this hotel. great staff and location.
- Kok (10/5): - 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
- Aarti (8/5): - 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
- Neda (10/5): - Great location and friendly staff, the hotel condition is great will definitely be going back
- LEWIS (10/5): - 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.
- Iqbal (8/5): - Location is great for Galata tower and it is a short walk from tram network. Staff are all very friendly and helpful
- Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommended - 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.
- Robert (10/5): - Nice place though up a short steep hill. Good value, especially for the money. Great staff and breakfast.
- Taylor (6/5): - 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.
- Simon (10/5): Nearly perfect - 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
- wafaa (10/5): - Loved the location. Friendly and helpful staff. Will stay there again if I visited Istanbul
- Mehdi (2/5): - 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.
- Steve (8/5): - The hotel is well located and offers a good alternative to larger hotels locally. Overall a good choice, but could do with some upgrades.
- AMY (6/5): Very Basic - The hotel is very, very basic. The breakfast is disappointing. There is zero amenities in the room. The bathroom wall is glass, so when one needs to go in the middle of the night, you have to turn on the light, thus waking your partner. While the map shows it is near to public transport, there are some steep steps to negotiate. I will not stay there again
- Farima (10/5): - Very accommodating staff.
- Jake (10/5): - The Hotel was in a very cool district and hidden away in the back streets. It's located down a steep and narrow street, with historic steps near by. A really interesting area and is close to the port and Metro
- Patrick (6/5): - Location, staff, and overall aesthetic design were amazing! They don't let you control the Air Conditioning System though and the room ran hot, difficult to sleep because of it and I couldn't change the temperature. At this price point, you should be able to control the temperature of your own room.
- Daniel (10/5): Champions League Istanbul - Th hotel was exactly as described. Very clean and friendly staff. The location is fabulous as it's just a short walk to the metro and lots of bars and restaurants
- kathleen (10/5): - The staff was very helpful with making arrangements for activities snd transportation; breakfast was delicious and convenient, the room was comfortable and quiet. Location was fantastic for the activities we planned. The Galata area is on a hill, steep in spots with cobblebrick, narrow streets and may not be suited for all
- FERNANDO (8/5): - Personal muy amable y con muy buena disposición. La habitación comoda con cama king Size. Baño sin bidet. Oscura. Muy bien ubicada pero en una calle fea y con difícil acceso. Desayuno muy pobre.
- David E. (10/5): - Perfect location with friendly staff
- Sammy (10/5): - Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Kerem at the front desk was very helpful. His suggestions where to eat and where to go locally were excellent, never disappointed yet very satisfying. This hotel is where all the good restoring , cafes and bars and of course many historical places. No need to rent a car and don’t because nowhere to park. I’ll definitely come back to this place next time
- Maria (8/5): Moderate - Room is super small - difficult to get inside with luggage. The are some scratches on the walls and furniture that are quite visible. Location is good for tourists
- Margarita (6/5): - There is no spa in the hotel. The room was very small.
- Abdullah (10/5): - Good nice hotel
- Joanna (8/5): - Wonderful staff who were helpful, even as soon as my booking was confirmed! The airport transfer they arranged for me went seamlessly, the wifi is great, and breakfast was really pleasant with nice variety of hot and cold options available. There was construction all night and seagulls in the area but the location was otherwise great. Sometime being in a busy neighborhood that is convenient for walking and transportation is louder - that's the trade off. Amenities were nice, including an elevator! Overall very pleasant stay.
- Csaba (10/5): Awesome stay - The place was great! Very high quality. Also super clean. Some items in the room were certainly not new, or in used condition. Slightly torn blinds, missing nightstand. But overall it was great still and functioned well. And the service was really exceptional, very helpful, friendly and capable. We also got free breakfast each day, which was great. Highly recommended.
- Felix (2/5): - I woke up in the middle of the night with a strong stench like a sewer smell. I know that the smell is so overpowering so I went down to the reception and had a staff come up and figure out what is wrong. I was told to just open the window as he has no ability to move me to a new room. I ended up unable to sleep as the wind was causing the blinds to smack the walls. I ended up checking out early, I then saw the staff and followed up about it, the Manager was present apparently the staff briefed her. The Manager was livid with the staff for telling her about it. I told the Manager about my ordeal and she was obviously upset with me and being rude. I decided not to argue and left.
- gerard (10/5): - A wonderful, affordable boutique hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Perfectly placed for access to the tourist attractions and the vibrant local area. We have a great time. Low key attentive staff. Lovely vibes. Would definitely go back.
- Cesar (8/5): - A modern, quiet, small hotel on a very convenient location - 5 mins walk to Galata Tower. Rooms quite small but nice and modern.
- susanne (10/5): - Fab friendly staff-very helpful obliging and welcoming.Good value and quiet location.Cosy room.Would reccomend!
- Alexei (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent stay!
- Nekel (10/5): - Was a very nice place to stay & easy to find even at 11pm at night. I was only here for 1 night so can’t comment on rest of hotel, as I didn’t use facilities.
- Dianne (10/5): - Lovely hotel in the heart of Galata. Room had amazing light from the east and north, great artwork, full breakfast, very quiet, walkable to main sights. A few glitches - water was only lukewarm, wifi went out the morning I was there, but staff were very accommodating and these did not diminish from the pleasant stay.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - but
- Mohammed (2/5): - The hotel stipulated that I stay the whole period in the hotel, and I have no right to make a check out if I did not like the hotel, and that I pay the full amount in advance!? I refused to stay with them
- Mohammed (4/5): - Shower was not good at all water remain in shower side! The room very tiny and not that much clean, nevertheless the staff was friendly and they booked us the cap on time.
- Phillip (10/5): Comfort in Galata - The room was very quite and comfortable. the shower and bed were very comfortable. The woman at the front desk was very polite.
- Melanie (10/5): - Great location near Galata Tower and pretty much walking distance to all the touristy areas. There are a lot of hills around the area as well. We appreciated the quiet area and the staff was great!! Zeynep was so sweet and gave us recommendations for eating around the area.
- Aimmee (8/5): - Great area - right by the Galata Tower and multiple cafes. The staff was excellent and helped us get a Taxi at 3am as well as scheduled our COVid test prior to leaving and printed our results and attestations needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, our AC unit wasn’t working. Not too big of a deal as it was cold weather. The bathroom was clean but small - we did get whiffs of what smelled like sewer from the shower drain but this was an issue at multiple other hotels we stayed at. I’d recommend this hotel to any traveler. I’d probably stay there again just because of how helpful the staff was.
- Luke (8/5): - Well-located, handsome property with nice and helpful staff.
- nigussie (10/5): - Very friendly people and clean room but heater was on and off , that means it was cold for long time before it fixed
- Julia (10/5): - Love the location. Modern interior and friendly staff
- Randell (10/5): - A very nice hotel with an amazing view! I enjoyed my stay at the Bankerhan immensely. The room was a little on the small side, but with it's features and amenities I was extremely happy. Electric shades, very nice and modern bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Open up the widows and what an amazing view! I loved the art in the hallways- even took a high-def. picture to see if I could recreate them. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not far from Galata Tower. I would have no problem staying there again. For the price, it's much better then others in price ranges are even higher.
- Andrea (10/5): - Very well designed hotel at the best location.
- Vera (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic experience, have city centre walk and it’s look very fresh room, convenient bad, eco friendly and silent place in city part that never sleeps. Good wifi, everything new in the room and clean. Very friendly staff.
- Musharaf (10/5): - Excellent service from the front desk.
- berkay (10/5): - The hotel is very nice, the location is very nice. It is possible to reach everywhere easily. employees are friendly and smiling. thank you for everything.. thanks for hotels general manager as well 🙏
- Okan (10/5): - Everything was perfect, thank you very much for everything
- MAURICE (10/5): Canadian traveller - Great location, very close to the tower great restaurants nearby
- Jean (10/5): - Great location, 5 min walk to Galata tower and 5 min to the galata bridge. Great clean spacious room with trendy design. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. Note there is construction next to the hotel.. it can be dusty and loud at times
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great friendly staff. Quiet neighborhood and convenient location overall.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean. Friendly staff. Convenient location
- Victor (10/5): Very kind staff and amazing stay - It was an amazing stay. Rooms are big enough and very well decorated. Staff is very kind and responsive. We loved it and definetely will choose here when we are back to Istanbul. Location is also great!
- Sean (10/5): - I have already written a review for this wonderful hotel here on Orbitz, ( I stayed here 3 times over 2 months), so please look for that under the review section, needless to say I am a huge fan of this hotel and cannot recommend it enough
- Verified traveler (10/5): - LOVED this hotel, I stayed there 3 times Oct/Nov 2020. Great location, minutes from the Galat Tower, the hotel sits at the end of a cul de sac it is so peaceful with no traffic noise to deal with. The rooms are beautiful, tastefully decorated with beds that I could have laid in all day. The bathroom is enclosed by glass so the room does not feel claustrophobic. The manager, Zahnick, ( sorry I might have misspelled her name) was so incredibly helpful. She upgraded me to a bigger room on my 2nd & 3rd stay there. She offered the use of the kitchen as it was not in service due to Covid, she was also so concerned about my well being while I was in Istanbul, it was so nice to feel the charm of a boutique hotel manager after years of staying in a big hotel chain. This hotel will alway be my "go to" place to stay when I am in Istanbul. To the staff at The Bankerhan Hotel, thank you so very much for everything.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent hotel, central location - Excellent hotel in great location! 2 min walking from Galata and less than 10 min walking to Eminonu. Wstayed in the room with the sea view, couldn’t ask for more. The hotel managers and people who works in the hotel are very friendly, professional and helpful.
- Yana (8/5): - I stayed in two different rooms. The second one was very small. It was kind of ok for me but as it was double room, it would be definitely too small for two. Overall, the hotel has great location, it's clean and staff is very helpful.
- DeAnna (10/5): - We loved this hotel! Clean and the location was perfect!!! Staff was friendly and helpful. If we come back to Istanbul we will stay here again without question. Another review stated that Taxi’s won’t come to this hotel. I will say that the location is a bother for drivers however we did witness Taxi’s coming there. One did ask us to come down to the street below so not a big deal. Fat Taxi picked us up at the door for our ride to the airport.
- Jonathan (8/5): Cozy nice spot - Room was comfortable and bathroom was really modern and clean, reason i didn't give a full 5 stars was because the location doesn't allow easy access for taxis so you'll have to walk over to the next street to hop on, ok if you are travelling light but a problem if you have large luggage.
- Brandon (10/5): perfect hospitality - Great staff, modern room, great location!
- Stacey (10/5): - I have been pretty much been living in hotels for the past 3 months from Greece to Spain and now here in Istanbul and I have to say this is by far the most comfortable and hospitable place I’ve stayed in! The manager and staff have been incredibly accommodating as my flight was cancelled initially and they just changed my reservation date even though I’d paid a non refund price. I was given a room selection and offered any further help. The bed is so comfortable and room is cleaned every day. I was meant to only stay for 7 nights and have booked a further 13 so that’s definitely saying something! Lastly the location is perfect!
- Anastasia (10/5): - The hotel is great! Rooms are just like in photos, everything is clean, comfy and quite new. I’ve booked a single room, but as probably there were not so many guests (due to pandemic) I was provided with double room. The hotel also allowed me to check out later. I will definitely recommend this hotel and likely would stay here again.
- Edward (8/5): A clean, quiet place - Extremely accommodating staff upgraded me to a larger room at no extra cost. Quiet street, which is nice. Walking distance to a bunch of sites/cafes. No breakfast, so you must fend for yourself, but options abound nearby. Lobby a little gloomy, lightened by a friendly house cat.
- Ali Riza (10/5): Huzurlu - Yer, sakinlik, oda ve yatak konforu bakımından çok güzel. Haliç manzaralı oda ayarladıkları için ayrıca çalışanlara teşekkür ederiz. Bir gece kaldık ama dinlenerek ve huzur bularak ayrıldık. Teşekkürler.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel is cozy and i like the area , i don't like that room is very small
- Najla (10/5): Great Hotel - really loved the hotel. nice quiet area but still close by to galata and transportation. staff was super helpful and amazing.
- Najla (10/5): Amazing - I Had an excellent time there, the hotel was clean, located in a nice area everything you need is within walking distance. and amazing staff and very helpful I would definitely stay there again and would recommend for friends and family
- Abduljalil (6/5): A new experience in a bed and breakfast hostel - It's a good hotel for couples who have no heavy luggage. It's was very difficult to make shopping because all taxis refuse to drop us to hotel front door due to location of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice location, very helpful staff, nice rooms and decoration.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location is really good. It’s in the middle of a safe neighborhood next to Galata Tower, but really quiet. Nice and clean. Modern art and modern building.
- Kate (10/5): Beautiful boutique hotel in great position - I found this hotel faultless. Beautiful design. Great location. Very quiet.
- C (8/5): Great location, nice art, nice room - We had a very nice welcome and a good stay. Room was small but well set out. Only thing to consider is that there is only a frosted glass door between you and the toilet so there is not much privacy!
- WorldTraveler04 (10/5): - Wonderful staff...great location...will stay again next time!
- Michael (10/5): - We really would reccomend this hotel to anyone considering it. The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and quiet and the breakfast was tasty and had a good range of options. The bathroom did have a high ceiling and the door did not go all the way to the top so you can hear everything going on in there.

- Verified traveler (10/5): TMA - Staff is very helpful. Only problem room was so little. But anyway ambiance and overall feeling was very good. Building situated in the perfect place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Not only was the property centrally located in Galata and near by Karakoy, but had beautiful sunrise views over the sea! The staff were top notch as well. Would definitely stay here again !
- Daksh (10/5): - I highly recommend staying at this hotel. 1) The location is perfect its in the heart of karakoy. All the best restaurants and bars are walking distance. Galata tower is a 10 min walk. 2) The staff is excellent, very helpful and professional. The manager was so sweet she realised i was running late for my flight. She came up to the room to help me pack. Mr Berkan at the reception would go out of his way to help be it getting my laundry done at midnight or helping me find restaurants.
- Catalina (8/5): - Excellent location.
- Mustafa Yusuf (10/5): Perfect - Room was bigger than standart hotels, with a huge bed and we loved it. We had a very good rest in the room after our trip and could easily go everywhere we want. I would choose this hotel again if I need to stay there.
