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.

I spent 5 nights at the W Istanbul in April. I stayed in a Studio Suite ( Room 202). If you are looking for a Starwood hotel this is the best option in Istanbul. This is definitely a cool hotel and one of the W's I like most. Location: The hotel is located in Beskitas, which is part of the... More

Am staying here just overnight, as my normal hotel was booked solid. Although I have never been a fan of the W hotels, I was happily surprised. Checkin was fast and friendly, thanks to AJ on the front desk. Room was modern and chic. Although so many lighten options was confusing! Location is great and only a short walk to... More

Stayed here for a long weekend trip to Istanbul and found the staff to be very nice, accommodating and the property to be clean and modern (just as you would expect for a W property). Our room, although small, was efficient and included a nice day bed alcove which made for a nice sitting area. The shower room and sink... More

I have just returned from a week's stay at the W Istanbul with my sister and our friend and it really was so enjoyable. The hotel is dark, sexy and young which is what you would expect from the W experience. We were given a very generous sized room on the 4th floor which was very modern and clean. The... More

The W was unlike any other hotel I have stayed in. To start with the location is great, just near the Bosphorous and a short walk away from the BJK stadium and the closest tram station. The room itself was very trendy but I quite liked it. The bathroom could have been more comfortable. If the prices were a little... More
