“Faultless service, great rooms.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

Just had three days at the 'W' and I couldn't fault it. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great room and excellent breakfasts. Would definitely go back there. Taxis in Istanbul are cheap but often go nowhere very fast - the traffic appears to be a permanent headache, but the trams easy to use. The 'W''s location is very nice but... More

“Trendy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

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

“Trendy Hotel With a Great Bar”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

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

“GREAT HOTEL”

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

“Too cool for school”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013

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.

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.
