"An advantage of staying at the Witt Istanbul Suites, besides its location in the literati-filled neighborhood of Cihangir, is that everything in it is something you would want for your own home." Full review
Afar Magazine "With only 18 rooms, and a room-to-staff ratio of one-to-one, this funky design hotel offers personalized service that makes guests feel as if they’re staying at an ultra-stylish friend’s home." Full review
Star Service "Located in a converted office building, this boutique-hotel shows off trendsetting style from the second guests step inside." Full review
