For our weekend in Paris, my friend and I decided to splash out on a Superior room at the Banke Hotel. On arrival we were delighted to hear that we'd been upgraded to a suite. However, the "suite" wasn't very impressive - it was simply a standard sized hotel room with a nice bathroom (bath as well as shower) and... more

The Banke Hotel received a good write up in Australias Qantas magazine so this was the reason why we chose to stay at the Hotel. The negatives outweigh the positives so here they are; There was no iron in the room so we used the Hotel fast service, 3 shirts were given at midday and requested that they be returned... more

Most hotels look quite different in the glossy advertising pics, but arriving at the Banke was like entering those pics. The style is clearly not to everyones taste, but for people in search of reasonably priced and well located design hotels, they are spot on! What is rare with these kind of hotels is that they are consistent. We experienced... more

Very friendly staff, great location, very clean, cool design,.... but.... ....the bathroom was really ridiculous! The person who designed that must have been drunk or high! It was one of the most ugly, badly designed bathrooms I have ever seen in my life. When you open the door, you actually cut the bathroom in 2 and you have to squeeze... more

The Hotel Banke was in tip top condition. The staff was attentive. Suite was large, beds very clean and comfortable. Bathroom, shower and hot water were great. Air conditioning worked wonderfully. Shopping close. Many Metro stations within steps of hotel. Cannot say one negative thing about our 8 day stay there. more

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, i wish that i had uploaded my photos to show you but suffice it to say that the photos on the... more

They have a quiet numbers of good properties - such as Claris in Barcelona or Hotel Urban in Madrid. Trying to branch out of Spain, Banke is their second... more

Was a little worried by some of the previous reviews but booked anyway as they had a €125 promo with breakfast on. The hotel was very nice as were the staff. I booked 2 standard rooms but they upgraded us free to deluxe which was very nice. Room was great and very modern. Had leather chez long, leather swivel chair,... more

I'll give the good points first. For the area, the hotel is very nice and a good value. The rooms are nice, clean and modern. Aircon issues may have been a new opening issue, because they are fixed now. I have stayed in the Banke several times as well as many other hotels within walking distance as I have an... more
