The room was lovely, clean and well maintained. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is located on a steep hill so the walk back from town is quite steep and demanding.

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.

We loved our stay at the Witt! The staff were so lovely and the breakfast was delicious. We also really appreciated being able to leave our luggage a couple of days before check-in whilst we visited a different part of Turkey. We would love to return!

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.

This was a wonderful catch. A great hotel, beautiful design, elegant… the staff is kind, silent during night… close to the zones of interest as a tourist. Provided great service. If I ever come back to Istanbul I will definitely choose this place again.

Rooms are suites, well designed and close to the Modern Art Museum . Also there are some great neighborhood restaurants 3 blocks north. Uphill walk would be challenging for those with mobility issues.
