Location was great, close to everything but not in the center of the touristy area. Hotel was quiet but so many local restaurants and coffee shops. It really feels like part of a neighborhood. It is at the top of a steep hill but so much of Cihangir is. Sometimes it was easier to metro to the Taskim Square and walk down. It was quite easy to get public transportation after only a short walk. Close to the lightrail, buses, and ferries.

Staff was so lovely and accommodating. Free daily breakfast was excellent with a range of options. Hair dryer in the room was terrible, but they loaned me a spare nice one from the front desk. Room was huge and very clean with multiple Juliet balconies. Shower had tons of water pressure and was excellent. Rooms were a bit dated but still quite cleanly. The roofdeck was lovely for sunsets and nighttime views of the Bosphorus. Staff helped us reserve a taxi to the airport very early on our last day.

We would absolutely stay here again. It was truly relaxing and restorative.

This is a lovely oasis in a city that doesn't widely demonstrate concern for cleanliness and having things in their place. The staff members are genuinely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is ample and served in pleasant surroundings. The only drawback is that it is located half way up a steep hill (not to mention that Apple Maps shows it as being in a different location) - but then so is most of the rest of Istanbul. If you are not fit when you arrive, you will be when you leave. Some of the restaurants we were referred to by management had main courses all priced at 2400 Tl which is quite expensive - Istanbul is expensive we found. But there is an area close by a bit further back from the waterfront and directly along the street that has abundant cafes and restaurants.

The Witt hotel is in a great location with easy access to the local train that runs through the city. The hotel is \"boutique\" style with apartment like rooms that are very spacious, clean and well appointed with all the amenities you need for comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet has excellent choices and includes eggs made to order. There is a fabulous roof top \"patio\" where you can gather to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner and the stunning views of the city. And last but not least, the staff is very helpful. We will definitely stay there again if we return to Istanbul.

Not sure why I felt led to choose this hotel but it was a great choice. The location was good. The room was spacious and very clean. Somehow I booked it for 2026 (just not sure how that happened) . Thankfully the hotel contacted me and booked a room for us. Also we requested a late checkout and they accommodated us for that. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was healthy and delicious. My only complaints are the lighting in the room and bathroom was dull and I didn’t care for the artificial aroma used in the lobby. It’s very fake and overwhelming.

Cihangir Gem!

Loved the Witt. The staff is amazing, the breakfast is delicious, the rooms are huge and the bathrooms great. Oh and that spectacular view from the roof terrace!!! Great location for our group - close to a tram stop into the old city but away from the tourist crowds. I’ve been to Istanbul often and friends lived in the area so I was prepared for the steep hills in the neighborhood. Sometimes resorted to taxis….the staff had great recommendations for local bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to return to the Witt

Fab hotel in Istanbul

Great hotel, great room and the service was excellent. Very nice people but the Turks are very respectful and friendly. Well they were in this hotel. Breakfast was great and the Turkish red wine was delicious.
Definitely stay again it was all a*****
Only negative I would say if you have problem with steep hills you may struggle as we were in our 60’s and we had to take out time. Not the hotels fault but definitely use taxis if you have luggage.

Expected more for the price paid

I chose Witt because I am interested in design. My room was on the second floor and I was glad to be on the corner to have a bit of a view rather than looking directly across the street at other flats. I rated the cleanliness low because the toilet in my room was not working well. Hotel workers came into the room while I was out (with my permission) to assess and fix the toilet. When I returned my bath mat was on the floor along with another towel. Perhaps they had planned on returning to clean up after assessing the toilet? Both my bath towels were quite mildewed. I advised the Hotel. It left me feeling disappointed with my stay. The elevator is fun. The breakfast outstanding - you could have both breakfast and lunch if you timed your meals right. Location perfect! Rooftop has good views but not set up to enjoy the patio unfortunately. Bed was comfortable. For the price, I expect a bit more than I received.

As soon as you walk in you feel relaxed and comfortable. The decor and design is still cool, sophisticated and understated despite being 14 odd years old. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and considered. The breakfast is ample and delicious and nothing is too much for the staff. The rooftop has an amazing view of the Bosphorous and underutilized.
The only negatives are the pillows being way too soft, the available computer is an antique with no usable software (so for an emergency use for business it was poor for a hotel if this standard) and that hill is tough (but good for the legs and glutes) 😊
Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Fantastic boutique hotel !!! Excellent staff !!

This was such a wonderful pleasant and peaceful place to reside!! We took a long flight from California and driver was arranged for smooth transition from airport to hotel. From the moment you enter you are treated like royalty. The desk host “ Khan “ ( spelling ? ) was so gracious and glasses of vino delivered to our room immediately .. this was the 10 star service from the beginning to the end. The room was really well appointed and spacious. We truly did not want to leaves. Really the entire staff are 100% into pleasing you with authentic attitudes … not like robots. I highly recommend if you want a nice comfy stay to choose this hotel. The value for this service/hotel is incredible! We enjoyed every minute and will definitely stay again. Breakfast stay amazing and well appointed breakfast ! Windows block out all the noise from streets ( we were 5th floor ). Well done Witt hotel !! Until we meet again !

Much needed break

My stayed in Witt hotel was a gift from my boyfriend, who wanted me to take a break and relax. Witt hotel was the perfect place to do that. The staff were very friendly, the room was spacious and it was in a trendy Neighbour hood that had lots of shops and restaurants. The only issue I had was that the hotel is located on a hill, so climbing that everyday was a hard task. My boyfriend would do burpees until I reach. Overall it was great, comfortable and fun.

This hotel can't be faulted! My husband and I booked this to mark the beginning of our 2-week honeymoon in Turkey, and it's safe to say the apartment did not disappoint! The loft-style interior and the bathrooms were incredibly spacious, modern and classy.

It was the perfect base for us to spend 4 days exploring the sights and sounds of Istanbul, as the hotel is only about 7 minutes' walk from the nearest tram stop. It was also an easy walk to an array of restaurants, nightlife, and Taksim Square.

Housekeeping was frequent and meticulous. Reception staff were helpful and friendly.

Having the option of a free breakfast service was the cherry on top; we ended up only taking breakfast in the dining area during our stay, although was pleasantly surprised by the range of cold and hot dishes / beverages available.

The rooftop garden with fantastic views overlooking most of Istanbul's Europe side gave us lots of photo opportunities.

Note: If you intend on bringing heavy or multiple pieces of luggage, then it would be best to travel to the hotel via a taxi, as there is a large hill leading up to the front doors (helped us to realise our new year resolutions!)

Great Hotel

I was super impressed with the Witt Hotel and its staff. It is a boutique hotel and at all times they make you feel special; from giving recommendations for sightseeing to service at breakfast. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. In a very nice area near restaurants, etc. I travel 180 days a year and the Witt is one of the best I have stayed in.

Witt Istanbul, amazing hotel, a great experience

the Witt hotel was terrific. the staff were so helpful, the rooms were brilliant (we had a room with a Balcony) and the location was very central to the main Tram line and to the major attractions. Also there is a wonderful roof top terrace.. a great place to take in the views across Istanbul.

Fantastic luxury boutique hotel

What an absolutely fantastic boutique luxury hotel. Fantastic room (with great views), fantastic breakfast and exceptional service (Emrah and Ali on the front desk are nothing short of superb and couldn’t do enough for us). Can’t recommend this hotel enough, came across it on Mr & Mrs Smith.

Would stay again.

We had one of our best hotel experiences at the Witt. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. And the view of the Blue Mosque from our room was breathtaking. As others have said, the walk up the hill from the tram raised the heart rate. Location to transportation was excellent.

Must-stay luxury hotel in Istanbul

The Witt is exceptional and holds up against other luxury design hotels around the world. The aesthetics and finishes make it a haven for Istanbul but it's the staff who are exceptional. Booking, pre-arrival arrangements, arranging luxury airport transfers, quality restaurant recommendations, you name it, nothing was too much trouble. They were efficient, discrete and it was a hotel that made you feel instantly at home the minute you walked in. Breakfast too was outstanding, great choice and excellent quality with local delicacies. The roof top terrace was stunning and the option to have a drink at the bar or upstairs was terrific.

The service at the hotel was amazing. I can't remember the fellows name at the front desk (Emra?) But he had great local knowledge and have amazing recommendations. The room, with a view of the city, was beautiful. Breakfast was as great start to the day as well. This hotel is a 10/10 for value, comfort, location and service. Would highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff for a great stay

What an absolutely fantastic place to stay - would highly recommend it! Located super close to the Tophane tram stop and a short walk away from Taksim Square, it was an ideal base to explore Istanbul. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and the room was spacious, light and well-equipped (the Molton Brown toiletries were a luxurious treat!) What made this an outstanding hotel however was the exemplary service provided by Emre who arranged taxis and hair salon appointments for us (ringing around for competitive pricing and availability) and providing excellent sightseeing recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This “gem” has always surpassed me expectations. It is my third stay at Witt. Although the hotel itself is exceptional, what really makes the difference is the people. They are friendly and helpful and I always get the feeling that they are all genuinely happy to be helpful.

Twice an incredible experience!

This was our second time to Istanbul and our second to the Witt. We can't say enough about the staff, who are always so helpful and genuinely want to make sure you're having a wonderful stay. The rooms are well appointed, our last with a panoramic view of Istanbul! They even sent a bottle of wine to our room and some sweets to thank us for staying with them. The breakfast is so delicious, with your choice of eggs included in the price. So refreshing to stay at a hotel that cares about the comfort of their guests. Great location for walking to many places, restaurants although the street is a bit steep in front of the hotel. Highly recommend the Witt to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Fantastic hotel

We had a great stay at this boutique luxury hotel. Room was huge with kitchenette and living area. Quality toiletries (Molton Brown), complimentary nespresso coffee etc.

Reception desk was very helpful with making suggestions and making reservations on our behalf.

Location wise, the hotel was a 10 minute walk to Taksim Square and Istikal Street. The popular hammam Kilic Ali Pasa is a 5 minute away. Note however that the hotel is located on a slope.
