This is a very pleasant hotel with English speaking friendly and helpful staff.
Near to Galatas Tower with access to numerous excellent restaurants and bars.
One of the main retail area's is also close by.
Tram station is just down the hill where the main historical area is a few stops away.

The hotel is centrally located, very close to the Galata tower, T1 tram, restaurants, marina and entertainment district. Staff were very helpful with all my needs and they also went the extra mile to make our stay special(thanks for the birthday cake). We traveled as a couple and this hotel provided everything that we hoped for on our vacation.

I will start this review by mentioning the bed. The bed was so comfortable. I slept so well. The room was very clean. The shower was perfect. All went well. The staff was great. The location was central; very close to everything. The only note is that if you have mobility issues, there are many hills in the area. In order to get up to the Galata Tower and Istiklal Cadde (Street) in Beyoğlu, you have to be ready for the hill and for the stairs.

I was with my 72 year old aunt. She did it. She complained at first, but then kept walking, slowly up the hill and up the stairs whenever needed.
It became easier for her each day.

South of the hotel you can take the tram nearby or walk across the Galata Bridge to Eminonu, Fatih, Sirkeci, Sultanahmet; great neighborhoods you must experience for its history, the restaurant and shopping areas, and of course Gulhane Park. This is the old part of the city!

We also took the ferries from Eminonu to other neighborhoods. It is very easy and cheap to do so. And you can use Apple Pay for either the ferry or the tram. We used Uber many times as well, to call a taxi. Very easy and comfortable.

I had a great time! Will definitely come back with other members of my family to this exact hotel. Thank you.

A very well located and well priced hotel in Beyoğlu with just a short walk to Galata Tower and to the Galata Bridge for getting around. Bus, metro, ferry access is easy. Very helpful staff and the Japanese room has a lovely evening view! Simple breakfast included and for the price it’s an excellent find!

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.

Exceptional Stay at a Superb Location\n

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
