Orientbank Hotel Istanbul, Autograph Collection

Fatih Istanbul|0.61km from Grand Bazaar
We decided to stay at Orientbank b/c it's a Marriott property (using points) and b/c the location is excellent to tour the city. We had debated staying here vs. one of the luxury hotels on the other side of the bridge. However, ultimately we are glad we stayed here as we were able to walk to all the tourist destinations. The hotel is also a couple blocks from the Grand/Spice bazaars. The street location of the hotel threw us off as it's right in the middle of 3 cross streets, though once we got over the initial shock, we loved it. It reminded us a lot of Gringotts (if you are a HP fan). The hotel is very small and actually was converted from a bank. It's also very new (opened only 11 months ago). The bank concept is used in various places and it's a nice touch. The lobby area is spacious with plenty of couches for people ot sit and get checked in or meet people. Lobby is also where breakfast is served - it can get crowded and busy in the mornings. The check in was very easy, Zanieb sat us down, explained the hotel and the surrounding areas. She walked us to our room and explained how the room worked as well. Throughout our stay she remembered our name and was very helpful in helping us understand where to go, whether it was to eat or for my wife to get her hair done (as her straightener had busted). Zaneib was also incredibly helping via email conversations as she helped arrange airport transfers. While everyone at the hotel was helpful, we felt Zanieb went above and beyond in her service and ensuring we had an excellent stay. We had a deluxe room which we were upgraded to from the standard room and still felt it was extremely small. The rooms are european style with the bed taking up most of the space. Luckily we had a small sitting area where we were able to put our large suitcases. The bathroom is also small and right next to the bed. Needless to say, there's no real sound privacy when you are in the bathroom with your significant other in bed. Regardless, this was expected as it's an european style rooms. Plus we were barely in the room except to get ready and sleep so we didn't mind. However, if we had a child with us, the deluxe room wouldn't have been big enough for the 3 of us. While we were there, they were in process of opening up a cigar lounge on the rooftop. Zanieb had offered to show us but we never got the time. The primary/dinner restaurant is in the basement which also functions as a jazz club. On Fri and Sat night they have live music and seem to charge cover. However, I hope cover is not charged to hotel guests. We only visited the restaurant the first night we were there. it was empty but the food was good and the ambience is great. Overall it's a great hotel. The staff is amazing and the location is perfect. I would stay here over any of the large luxury resorts on other side of the bridge.

Beyazit Istanbul|0.33km from Grand Bazaar
We stayed here on two separate occasions on our trip while we were in Turkey. We stayed one night and then asked to store our bags while we travelled outside of Istanbul and then for another two nights before we left Turkey. We choose this hotel because of its location. It is less than a 5min walk to the Grand Bazaar. We knew our time in Istanbul we wanted to shop and wanted to stay close by so we drop things off at the hotel easily. The street on which the hotel is also has a few restaurants at the end and also two banks. We stayed in two different rooms. Our first room was very small and at the back of the hotel. It was good just for the night. Our second room was slightly bigger and was facing the street. We liked this room a lot more. Both rooms were clean and while kept. Our biggest complaint was the hotel transfer. I emailed several days ahead of time to schedule a transfer and they quoted more than what I had previous paid directly from the airport, so beware and negotiate. We were told to meet our driver at a certain gate and I know it was out of no one's fault but were caught up in immigration which took us much longer to leave and we did not have access to a phone and Istanbul airport does not have wifi. We were able to ask a random person for help and were able to find our driver......but he was by far the worst driver in the world. He drove so slow...a ride that should be 45mins took us almost two hours. He was on his phone the whole time and swerving in between the lines on the road. I was so upset about the drive. For the second transfer, I have emailed several times about our pickup time and asked several times where do we meet our driver? When we arrived there was no driver and again we were stuck asking strangers to use their phones and call the hotel. The driver was more than 1hr late. It just ruined all our plans that day to get into Istanbul earlier since we just lost over 1hr just standing at the airport. I would NOT get a transfer from the hotel. Get one from the airport it was the same price and hassle-free. I would like to add there is an ATM on the same street as the hotel that dispenses Lira ₺, Pounds £ and USD $.

Hello, Staying in a mansion on the historical peninsula was a unique experience. The most important advantage is to visit all kinds of museums, restaurants, markets, etc. within walking distance. Hotel staff helpful. The rooms are spotless. I would like to stay again. Thanks

The hotel near Grand Bazaar, played in Turkey for 12 days, this is the only hotel without a kettle, and the room is super small, it is difficult to take a bath and want to turn around. However, the price is moderate and the service is warm. The English at the front desk is very fluent and has no accent! The hotel is in the alley, every time I go back to the hotel, I will be picked up by the restaurant in the alley. This kind of sales feels very bad!

Everything about this place is perfect. Don't get shocked by the small entrance and reception. We arrived at 2:00 am in the morning and Mr. Mourad welcomed us in a friendly way and even offered food since we will not be able to wake up early for breakfast 😅. The room is very clean and spacious (deluxe). The location is very close to tram and walking distance to a looooot of places. We have a very close supermarket, money exchange places, restaurants, even taxis are everywhere. The room is clean and the service is exquisite. The breakfast is cute and nice prepared by Ms. Areefa. During the day we met Mr. Kevin who is very welcoming and friendly as well. The Hotel staff were like our family, caring and warm. If I am back to Istanbul, that will very my choice to stay
