We visited this hotel on 10/2/23. What a wonderfully warm greeting we received. The highlight of this hotel besides it’s good location near the Besiktas Ferry, was the quality of their staff across the board. They really made our visit to Istanbul exceptional. And their very comfy beds and pillows of course.

Like every other W hotel, the service is amazing. Rooms are very nice, breakfast is great. And the area is the nicest to walk around full of bars and cafes at night.. Whenever I come back, I will stay here for sure

Set in an area of beautifully restored rowhouses packed with cafes, restaurants and coffee shops and just a block from the Bosphorous, the W is a great choice if you want a sophisticated hotel with a lot of style. The staff is eager to please, breakfast buffet varied (although coffee service a bit slow). The hotel may be showing a bit of age from the '90s (rooms are a bit on the bordello side, well appointed but a bit too much red velvet and dark wood). Showers are great although you do step right out of them into the room. Compared to Bosphorous -front palace hotels, the W is a great deal and perfect base in Istanbul.

Overall hotel - getting too old. Room - I was upgraded to a large suite but the rooms are dated, they kind of smell like mold. Definitely needs to be updated. Food - I didn't try Gym - nice and has lots of equipment Location - great location Overall, it's a decent hotel but doesn't reflect the W coolness elsewhere. I would come here if I didn't have any other options.

We really enjoyed our stay at the W. The location is nice: busy area with lots of restaurants and shops and it’s easy to find a taxi or get an Uber right outside the hotel. Check in experience was great. Our request for 2 connected rooms was accommodated (we’d requested it well ahead) and the the check in desk staff was very friendly. The lighting in the room was a little weird but overall the rooms were spacious and beds super comfortable. Our room also had a beautiful back deck which was very nice for the evening. Breakfast was decent: nice selection of fresh fruits, cheeses, breads,’olives among other things. Overall it was a great experience.

W Hotel's level of service, design, and trained staff iliterally privides the best experience for travelers accustom to 1st class treatment. The staff, especially conceirges, Berk and Isa were amazing. Both had perfect English and were delightfully helpful with "Whatever and Whenever". My daughter, 20 and myself stayed for 3 days and they made our our stay perfect. Arranging everything from cars, adeventures, spa treatments in the evening at the hotel, etc. Btw, I am a gym fanatic and their gym is excellent. The hotel is also located in an amazing restaurant and entertainment district. However the hotel has live signers in the evening...you really dont need to leave this hotel. The Perfect addition to an Istanbul vacation. #WHotelsRock
