The Westist Hotel & Spa is a charming boutique-style hotel in a fantastic location close to everything. The housekeepers are very clean. The entire staff—from the informative, lovely and helpful daytime receptionist to the friendly night team went above and beyond. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit. Thank you

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.

I thank you sincerely for recommending an early airport transfer. It absolutely saved us today! The hotel was conveniently located, clean and modern. I can definitely recommend it to everyone visiting istanbul! There is a bit of noise during the night due to its central location in one of the most alive areas of the city, but it does not spoil the overall experience.

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!

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.

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!
