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."

"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

Fodor's "All accommodations at this stylish boutique hotel in the popular Cihangir neighborhood are suites—essentially very large loft apartments with separate sleeping and living areas." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The luxury suites here are large, well-appointed and equipped with kitchenettes."

"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

"Showcasing nearly as many designer features as an issue of Monocle magazine... conveniently located near the Tophane tram stop." Full review
