Lovely boutique hotel, good location to explore all sites and access to the tram with local eateries all close by.
Highly recommend, it is at the top of a hill but there are taxis if it’s raining and you’re not up for the exercise!
We had a great stay at The Witt. Lovely location outside of the chaos but up a VERY steep hill. Rooms were huge and really quirky with everything you could need and a great view. Staff were super friendly, breakfast great and the rooftop was a to sit and overlook the city from. Super walkable to all the main sights and the neighbour has some lovely shops and bars hidden away from the main tourist trail. Would definitely recommend
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.
Such a lovely stay. Very generously sized room with lovely and stylish amenities. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Will definitely be back next time I am in Istanbul.
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.
Truly my favourite in Istanbul. I loooove the rooms - spacious, spotless, super glamorous. Staff is sweet, breakfast is amazing and healthy. Very peaceful, ambiance is great, great soft jazz in the lobby. A tranquil heaven to be in.

Second stay here, very friendly staff, excellent value clean and spacious rooms, great neighbourhood
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!
Excellent hotel! Staff was incredible and very attentive.
Wonderfully away from all the hustle and bustle of old town, while being close enough to sites and other places worth visiting.
A great design hotel. Friendly, cordial staff. clean facilities and great breakfast. Very convenient location in a neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, bars and stores. Thank you.
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.
