I’ve been travelling around Europe for a month now, been to a few different countries / hotels, and BY FAR this has been my favourite one. The room is cozy and lovely, the bed was so comfortable, the staff were absolutely amazing, friendly & helpful, and I loved the spa services. Highly highly recommend. Amazing central location as well.

In addition to a central location (a 1-minute walk to Instiklal Street and a 10-minute walk to Galata Tower), we commend the staff (Dogu, Mustafa, and Berk) for their exceptional professionalism, hospitality, and willingness to go above and beyond. We loved our stay at The Westist, a beautiful, artistic boutique hotel, and will definitely stay here again.

Sweet small hotel in a great area of Istanbul. For a budget friendly hotel the service was great with a staff member always available to help. The rooms are not brand new but they are very clean. Entry is off of a small side street that cars cannot access which makes it a bit difficult for luggage initially, but great to not walk straight out into a crazy driving street. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable central location to sleep when you're planning to be out and about in Istanbul!

An excellent three-star hotel, fantastically located. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and really responsive. I had a query at the time of booking which was quickly answered and there was a minor issue with my room which was quickly resolved. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. Room was well soundproofed - certainly heard no noise from the rooms either side. WIFI speeds were excellent. I had a very comfortable stay and would happily recommend to others.

The location of this hotel is perfect, located just steps away from a main shopping road. Galata tower is also only a 10 minute walk away with plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes in between. Sinem was so lovely and helpful, giving many suggestions of where to visit and going above and beyond to give excellent hospitality. They were even able to set up a private transfer to and from the airport for a very fair price. This was a great stay for my first time in Istanbul!

Quaint spot near food and shopping. I would stay a

Checkin was quick. Staff was very helpful. I stayed only one night. They checked on my stay via WhatsApp even with such a short stay. A little hard to find for my taxi driver. Quaint, small, but it seems like most are this way because of the way the buildings are built. Spacious enough for one or two people (stayed in a single room). I'd stay here again. Has a spa but i had no time to check it out. Not sure that they have room service because when I asked, they directed me to the restaurant next door which was only feet away. 5 min walking distance to this great street with so many shops and restaurants. Great little spot.

Our best stay in Istanbul

Newly built hotel in a quiet side street of Istiklal - the most vibrant part of Istanbul. Great design, comfortable clean rooms, perfect service. Special thanks go to the guy at the reception /I am sorry we missed to ask his name/, who met us, gave us all the information we needed and was always so kind whenever we met. He is a real treasure of the hotel, because you feel really welcome.

Property was well situated, and very close to everything (Istikal street, galata tower). Staff were very friendly, and always ready to help. However, the rooms are very small compared to the pictures on the website. There was also mold in the bathroom ceiling. My wife and I started coughing and felt it was difficult to breath in the room.

Close to Istiklal

Hotel is in a great location, just off Istiklal and close to the metro. Staff are very friendly and the rooms are a good size given it is a city break! Rooms are well insulated from most sounds on busy Istiklal but there is still a fair bit of noise to be heard, however this is expected given you are so close to everything. Bathroom was clean and overall a nice stay.

Room does not look like photos, more like hostel room than spa hotel so very overpriced. Room smelled like sewage & could not open window. One of the towels was used when I checked in and unwashed pillows made my hair smell. Awful view w/o any privacy even though I asked for nice view when I booked the hotel so had to keep the blinds down the entire stay. Electricity in room went out every minute, then back on so had to turn the TV back on every minute & shower in the dark. Did not receive cleaning when requested. When cleaning came they left dirty cups & used tea bags. Space between worn out blinds made it too bright to sleep. No curtains. Every time a door opens & closes the room literally shakes so impossible to rest. Cold in room & not enough bedding or blankets. Ended up rebooking my flight to an earlier flight so I could check out earlier because the hotel stay made me exhausted. The lady from Indonesia in the basement spa was super sweet and the restaurant next door Pera Antakya is absolutely delicious.

Very kind staff and amazing dinner

It was a very pleasant stay. I had some business to do on Istiklal that’s why location was perfect for me. Dinner came from their restaurant which was really good and fresh.
Staff was very kind and helpful.
Only thing that surprised me was the 15 EU fee for early check-in. Never came accross this before. Overall experience was very good.

Istanbul's Westist Hotel: a Hidden Jewel

The Westist Hotel, on a quiet side street in the heart of Istanbul, is a real find: it's perfect. High points were the super helpful staff and the excellent food on offer. I strongly recommend it to those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Excellent accommodation

My third time staying in the Westist Hotel & Spa. Nice location near Taksim square and very affordable price. Only a couple of hundred meters away from the famous Pera hotel and Pera museum. All receptionists are super friendly. I will definitely stay here next time when I revisit Istanbul.

Excellent location and friendly staff

The best thing in this hotel is the location, it is near to Istiklal street. The staff was very friendly, especially the man in the night shift. The cleanliness was very good. But, the room was small and the double bed it also small for me, my wife and 4 year kid. There is no cot for child more than 3 years old.

Week in Istanbul

Stayed 6 nights, room was spacious enough considering your in Istanbul only to sleep, right off istiklal cadessi, so it's in a top location close to restaurants and public transport. The staff were very informative and always there to answer all questions and provided us with places to visit. The staff were very friendly right from housekeeping to hotel manager. Special mention to the hotel manager for looking after us. We will definitely be back when in Istanbul next.

Great hotel lication and price!

Great hotel in the middle of the Istanbul activity. Very close to all shopping, bars and restaurants. About 20 mins to the blue mosque which is a cheap taxi ride. Service is great. Only negative was the room was very small but all I did was sleep there so no big deal.

Delightful

This is a lovely, new hotel. The rooms are clean and nicely designed, the staff are helpful and friendly, the breakfast is elegant, and the location perfect (close to bar scene and public transport to anywhere in the city). I was slightly confused about how to use the spa/wellness centre - so I didn't check that out. Would definitely stay here if returning to Istanbul 😀

Actually it was a good experience in this hotel however as in most hotels nowadays they control the AC from the reception which is no good and the towels and bed sheets never changed unless we ask to although there were daily room services, other are very nice and cool, new hotel i recommend it.
