古典優雅，服務專業。完美的酒店

We were VERY happy with this Marriott property. Within walking distance of all the Old City Sights. Very comfortable and elegant interior. Extremely accommodating and friendly staff. Highly recommended, especially the basement jazz bar and rooftop viewing platform.

Even before we arrived, the Orientbank Hotel was providing great service. I emailed with hotel staff in advance of our trip to arrange car service from the airport, and they were very helpful. Once we arrived, late at night after two long flights, we were greeted at the hotel with such warmth and care. While checking in, I mentioned that we were tired and hungry, as our second flight hadn't served any dinner, and the front desk team put together a bag of sandwiches and snacks for us to take with us to our room. It was such a kind gesture and totally indicative of the quality of service at this hotel. Everytime we came and went, the lobby team asked us how we were and if there was anything we needed. Doors were held open with a smile. I asked for advice on using a kiosk to buy an Istanbulkart, since we wanted to make the most of public transit, and the front desk staff walked me through the process in detail. Everyone here was just so very nice, in a way that felt genuine and lovely. Huge thanks to all of the staff at Orientbank Hotel -- you are all amazing! Our room was on the fourth floor and was generously sized and nicely decorated. Water was provided in the room, which I always appreciate. We were perfectly comfortable and slept very well. In the mornings, we took advantage of the amazing hotel breakfast. The Turkish Breakfast comes with an incredible amount of food, but it was all delicious and offered such a great array of choices. It felt really indulgent and special. We also had dinner at the hotel on our last night there, and it was delicious. Don't miss going up to the rooftop. The view is spectacular. I loved that this hotel was so convenient to every place we wanted to go. It's right around the corner from the Egyptian Market, and just beyond that you can get the tram or the ferry anywhere in Istanbul. We were so glad we chose this hotel, and it made our stay in Istanbul even more memorable. If returning to Istanbul, I would definitely stay here again.

We made a last minute reservation here as we added two days to our trip from Kenya heading home. We stayed Nov 13th -15th, 2023 Taylon greeted us when we check in with a warm welcome and very professional appearance. We shared with him that this was the last part of our 28th anniversary trip and we had almost no knowledge of Turkey or Istanbul. He made some great recommendations for local food, set us up with a sunset cruise down the Bosporus Straight, and an experience at the Turkish Baths. After dinner at the Roof Mezze just a short walk away, we came back for a nightcap. He recommended we take it to their rooftop viewing area. We were immediately blown away by the view up there! Taylon came to check on us and stayed to kindly provide us with additional knowledge of the areas we could see from the view, some details around the mosques and overall knowledge of navigating the next days area for sightseeing. We got up early, ate an amazing egg croissant downstairs and were on our way. Walking from this hotel is easy to see some of the historical structures like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern. There was so much more we could have seen, but were limited on time in our short layover window. The evening cruise was breath taking and perfect for our last night overseas. They said they provided snacks and drinks, but honestly it was like a full meal, and we ordered a bottle of Rosé. We walking from the let off to our Turkish Bath experience. We have never experienced this before and thank goodness he booked us for a couples package. I had never been more exfoliated in my life! The massage afterwards was also the perfect way to end our two week adventure. We walk under the bridge back the hotel and stopped at Neptunes for dinner. It was a bit pricey, but the service and food were very good. Lesson learned, be sure to find out how big the portions are, as my wife and I ordered WAY too much food. I felt bad we could not finish it, but that was a lesson learned. When we got back to the hotel, Taylon was there and we shared with him our gratitude for setting these experiences up and our feedback on what an amazing time we had in Istanbul. Upon getting to our room, there was a bottle of red wine and a piece of delicious chocolate cake waiting for us with a not reading “Happy Anniversary”. He really made our day and half there are great one!
