Good for overnight stay

Good location. 5 min walk to metro. I had my own room. It’s clean but felt like the pillow could be replaced. Bring your own. It’s good for a one night . The shower was missing a door .

I stayed here a few weeks ago when it was a hostel and it was fantastic. However it has now (through no choice of the owners) become a hotel. Still the same great facilities as before.

Lovely acomodation

They gave me an upgrade and I had a private room even that I booked for a shared one. It was just great. Really clean, with great warming system, towels and whatever you need from a room. The kitchen was always clean and the staff was very friendly. During my stay, they made dinner for free for us and it was very tasty and a great way to meet other travellers :) The location is great! Just know you will train your legs haha

I have been travelling full time for over 6 years and seriously this is one of the best hostels that I have stayed in. Comfortable. Excellent location. Good value for money. Good facilities (a larger common room would be nice though) And most of all the friendly and helpful staff

Central to galata area, great breakfast and coffee at the shop downstairs. Comfortable stay!

We had the private room with bathroom. Was more spacious than expected. Check in was simple. The lift helped since we had huge suitcases. Walking distance around Galata. Breakfast included is a delicious the coffee shop was great 😊 wish we could have stayed longer to join all the fun activities like the pub crawl and Sunday night dinner

Best accommodation experience in Istanbul.

The staff, the staff, the staff and everything else. I’ve been to Istanbul quite a lot, this is by far the best. If I ever come back, it will certainly be this place that I’d like to be. Thanks Burak and to all the lovely staff. PS: excellent breakfast!

Overall, though, it’s a lovely place with great people and a relaxed, local atmosphere. I’d happily come back!

I stayed at Hotel Le Banc for 2 nights and really enjoyed my time there. The place has a cozy, authentic Istanbul vibe. I loved that there was drinkable tap water available and the option to cook in the shared kitchen plus a great selection of beers to choose from! The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, especially Baran and Didem, who made the stay feel very welcoming. We were even invited to join the free dinner after our checkout, which was such a kind gesture and made us feel like part of the community.
