We stayed here May 2013. The hotel is hip and trendy. Concierge is very helpful. My husband's birthday was during our stay and we received a mousse cake and balloons to decorate our room. (we had not even mentioned it was his birthday.) During the time we stayed at the W we saw police in riot gear on 3 separate... More

I stayed at the W Istanbul for four nights this January. The rooms are modern and well furnished (what you would expect from a W hotel). The staff was friendly and gave great recommendations for restaurants in the area. The bar was hopping on Friday and Saturday night, but we could not hear the noise from our room. The location...

We were visited Istanbul and the W Istanbul was our first choice as we are SPG members. The W Istanbul is in the fashion district with lots of charming cafes and lovely boutiques all around it. We are received to the hotel by very assisting door staff. The hotel is very dark and takes a few days to get used... More

I stayed here with work for three nights. The hotel is professional, with very friendly helpful staff- literally straight to your car to help with cases on arrival. I loved the air of cool that this hotel exudes, it's very refreshing. Lovely smelling lifts, mirrored lit up corridors...going into my room I was greeted by cool tunes playing out of... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the W Istanbul. Great location and only a short tram ride from all the sites. The rooms were great, the service was great and the area was great. I definitely recommend this hotel to all who want to experience Istanbul with W style

Arrogant staff and tiny rooms, over perfumed and very dark inside. They have put 'trendy' ahead of comfort and style. but, it's a W, so you get a good breakfast, a good night's sleep, a good shower and mod cons which are essential for business travel.

This was our first visit to Istanbul. What a magical city. The hotel is sits within a charming setting of shops, restaurants and is most welcoming and comfortable. The door staff meet you with a smile and a welcome and everyone is helpful. The concierge is on hand if you require more detailed assistance. Although a 10 - 15 mn... More

Hotel was really nice place to rest after a long day of touring or whatever it is you're going to do. I always felt completely welcome coming back there. The front door staff was also really helpful making sure the cabs I was getting into knew where I was going (that can be tricky). The concierge was helpful with pushing... More

Highly recommended. Great location in Besiktas, very nice area of istanbul. feels a little like you are staying in a holiday resort in a big city. Service first class (some small areas for improvement but marginal). Rooms all like staying in an apartment.
