Orientbank Hotel Istanbul, Autograph Collection

Great location, lovely building and interior and wonderful staff who are very welcoming, helpful and gracious. Everyone in the hotel goes out of their way for you from the reception desk to the cleaning staff - I asked for a few face cloths the man who brought them saw we needed water and literally ran off for it, you really can't ask to be looked after any better! One of the staff walked me to the Main Street where you have to get a taxi (the hotel is in a pedestrian zone) which is a few blocks away, and pulled by large suitcase the whole way! The hotel is small and quiet with a beautiful, private rooftop bar for guests only with amazing views of the city. At check in they serve you a drink and show you a clip of the James Bond scene from Skyfall filmed in the lobby, its a nice touch :-)

Staff is charming and does try really hard to help and go the extra mile. They still don’t pick up on small habits (they will rearrange things in the room to their original position, regardless of your preferences) but you’ll always be unmistakably addressed by name and with utmost kindness and genuine care. Breakfast is delicious and the rooms are delightfully appointed. Excellent amenities and original tea blends.

The food is exceptionally delicious. Starting with breakfast and ending with lunch or dinner. I have tried almost all the dishes on the menu, the Chef can perfectly cook Turkish and Italian dishes - both, I did not expect this, it usually does not work that way. I was satisfied with the food every day and didn't want to eat anywhere else. The Chef of the Orientbank Hotel made my stay hehe :) The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and comfortable. I'm staying here for the second time. And I am glad to note that nothing has changed for the worse here since 2022, it’s even opposite. They keep the same excellent level.

We felt very well taken care off, from the moment we first walked through the door until the moment that we had to check out. The building is beautiful and you do really feel like being a part of history. The hotel is within walking distance of the major highlights of the old town, with a beautiful view from the top floor. The jazz club was great with a wonderful performance and drinks. We would specifically like to mention Serdal, a wonderful member of staff who always went above and beyond to keep our experience enjoyable.

nice location, friendly staff
