"From the moment we arrived it was clear that the staff, the room and the breakfast were all going to be outstanding. It turned out to be so. The staff could not do enough for you, including going out of their way to book restaurants and answer any queries that were made even if they needed to search for answers. The room was excellent; it was spacious, clean, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and the staff there also could not do enough for you. It was excellent value for money and in a position that was within walking distance of many interesting areas and things to do. If there was one drawback, and it is not one the hotel can do anything about, it was the very steep hill from the tramway at the bottom of the hill. Having stayed at many hotels throughout the world I have no hesitation in saying that this hotel is one of the best, notwithstanding its somewhat plain exterior. If in Istanbul I would recommend this hotel."

"The Witt Istanbul Suites is an outstanding hotel located in a hip area of Beyoglu. The room designs are really modern and have some really nice touches. I have never stayed in a hotel with this kind of design, and we loved the room's layout. The King Room has a nice bar area with plenty of dishware to enjoy local snacks and drinks. The bathroom amenities include Molton Brown soaps and lotions, which smell great. The breakfast is amazing, with many good hot and cold dishes to choose from. The waitstaff in the restaurant are really nice and friendly. The hotel has a rooftop with an amazing view of the Bosporus and the Galata Tower. The hotel is centrally located so that it is easy to walk to the Galata Tower, Taksim Square, Istiklal Caddesi, and the tram stop at Tophane. As others have mentioned, the hotel is located on a steep hill, but walking is always the best option in Istanbul. The Witt is located in the hip Cihangir district of Beyoglu and near the hotel, there are several restaurants, cafes, wine shops, convenience stores, small supermarkets, and coffee shops. We hardly went out of the neighborhood for dining because the places near the Witt are so good. There is also a laundry shop around a minute's walk from the hotel (Cihangir Laundry) that we used, which was really convenient. The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming. We have stayed at the Witt Istanbul Suites twice this year, and plan to continue to stay at this hotel each time we come back to Istanbul. The location and staff are the best. We loved that the hotel is small, which adds to the laid back and peaceful vibe. The Witt is a "Design Hotel" and the only improvement I would recommend is for the Witt to participate in the Marriott Rewards program, like other Design Hotels around the world. It is much easier for guests to book the hotel through Marriott and earning rewards points is always great. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone considering a stay in Istanbul!"

"Well-appointed room, exceptional views, attentive service, tasty breakfast, all in a great location. This hotel is situated in what seemed like one of the most charming neighborhoods in Istanbul, with lively restaurants and cafes and within close walking distance to public transportation and key sites. We had a long panoramic, which was huge and had amazing views of the city, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower, and Bosphorus. Breakfast was varied and tasty. One word of caution: the hotel is situated on a steep hill, so if you have mobility challenges it may not be the best choice for you."

"We stayed twice in Room 62 for 8 nights and then 3 nights, with an interim trip to Malta. The view over the strait and towards Galata Tower, the old town and views to the Asian side from the terrace were amazing! King Panoramic suite with Terrace is the name. The room included a comfortable bed, sofa seating, cutlery and mini bar area and a large bathroom. The hotel is kept spick snd span and all the staff work hard to keep the place happy for visitors. We loved the location close to the tram stop at the bottom of the hill, and surrounding narrow streets with small shops and businesses. It’s a lively more residential neighborhood and hence much quieter than being in Sultanahmet. We walked everywhere, clocking up regular 10-15 km daily! We booked the hotel’s airport transfer, while more expensive than a regular taxi, the man waiting for us at Istanbul Airport was on time and the trip relatively quick at 45 minutes. I would recommend this hotel as it’s convenient walking access to the major sites, quiet and very well maintained. Thank you to all! ."
