Frommer's "You either love this one or hate it. That's because in all of the deluxe rooms, each small bathroom doubles as a marble-clad mini-hamam." Full review
Fodor's "Grand marble stairways, columns, Greek statues, and fountains grace the public spaces, and rooms have touches like ornate ceiling mouldings... and cushioned divans for reclining." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is the ideal place to spoil yourself. Less authentically refurbished than some other establishments, it is, nevertheless, a refined hotel that deserves its palace title."
Star Service "This low-lying reddish-pink boutique-hotel in the heart of Old Istanbul was designed to look old in a faux-Classical style that some will like while leaving others cold." Full review

Staffers are friendly although a bit distant and not quick on their feet to respond to guest requests.

"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

The staff is friendly, yet distant, and fails to follow through on special requests.
The Telegraph8.0
"A front-runner in the Istanbul designer hotel scene that rates comfort, intimacy and substance as highly as style." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Once the Turkish headquarters of Ogilvy and Mather, the centrally located Witt Istanbul Suites hotel teems with Mad Men worthy mid-century design and furnishings." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Showcasing nearly as many designer features as an issue of Monocle magazine... conveniently located near the Tophane tram stop." Full review
