Lonely Planet "The Uyan's quietly elegant decor nods towards Ottoman style, but never goes over the top in its antique furniture, prints and monochromatic floral bedspreads." Full review

Frommer's "From a block of abandoned row houses built in 1875 by Sultan Abdülaziz, to a stylish Starwood-branded W Hotel targeting the young, hip, and yes, even club-going set." Full review
Concierge "Istanbul is fast becoming Europe's capital of cool, and its hip-o-meter certainly clocked up a couple more notches with the April 2008 opening of the W in the unlikely... neighborhood of Beşiktaş."
Fodor's "An 1870s Ottoman block of row houses has been restored and enhanced with posh ultramodernity—sexy lighting, chic East-meets-West decor, and cool amenities." Full review
Insight Guides "The hotel is... the last word in stylish modernity, just with a luxurious Ottoman twist."
Oyster Luxury
"The 134-room W Istanbul delivers on all the hallmarks of the W brand: Trendy decor, excellent dining, and happening nightlife." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The W Lounge is a bit heavy on the self-consciously hip trance music, but its mojitos are the best in the city; Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market restaurant is justifiably popular." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With a great location close to Nisantasi... the W is housed in the historical Row Houses, erected in 1875 as accommodation for the high officers of the Ottoman Empire."
Time Out "This stylish hotel is in the center of Akaretler, surrounded by cafes and design galleries. The W features 2 restaurants, a modern gym and a day spa." Full review
Star Service "Housed inside buildings that were previously derelict, The W Istanbul is a superb example of urban revival." Full review

Avoid rooms on the lowest floors as they have little view since the position of the building leaves them feeling as if they are underground.
Condé Nast Traveler "Features an entry lounge with an "interactive art installation" mixing lights, mirrors, and video installations...and a traditional Turkish-style hammam in the W Spa." Full review
