The Westist Hotel & Spa

Would highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Istanbul. Location was excellent, right next to the Main Street of the area but still remained quiet. The hotel was extremely clean and the staff were one of the most accommodating group we’ve ever experienced. Room was very nice and modern, everything worked perfect. Their spa area felt like an actual premium spa experience , very zen feeling and super clean. The sauna was probably the best I’ve ever used and the staff there were also super friendly and were always attending to our needs. The hotels restaurant was the best and freshest tasting food we had throughout our 4 day stay in Istanbul, the restaurant manager was also super friendly and made an effort to connect with us personally each time we saw him coming out the hotel. The front desk staff also greeted us by our first names each time we entered and exited and always asked we needed anything. If you are coming to Istanbul definitely stay here especially at its price point.

I am happy to give this hotel the 5 star review it deserves. Great location, everything is close, the hotel is in an alley next to the main street, so you are in the center but have some peace. A lot of transport options too. The rooms were spacious enough, clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly, gave a lot of advice about Istanbul and answered all our questions. There is also a spa in the hotel if you want to treat yourself, there is a discount for guests of the hotel. Ofcourse not everything is perfect and there is stuff to nitpick, but everything else overshadows that. We spent 7 nights here and couldn't be happier with our choice.

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. While the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, they were exceptionally clean. The staff is amazing—from housekeeping to the front desk. Everyone was helpful, friendly, and always smiling, which made the stay truly enjoyable. A must-visit place while in Istanbul!

I have stayed at The Westist Hotel more than five times now, and I can say it always feels like a second home. Every stay is comfortable, relaxing, and truly memorable. The hotel's location, cleanliness, and cozy atmosphere keep me coming back, but what makes it truly special is the staff.|Big thanks to Ms. Sinem and Mr. Mustafa at the reception, they are incredibly professional and helpful. Their warm welcome and attentiveness make a huge difference.|Also, a big thank you to Ms. Ayse for her daily smile and care while cleaning my room.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fabulous Stay in the Heart of Istanbul The Westist Hotel is in a brilliant spot, just steps away from Taksim Square—perfect for diving straight into the energy of Istanbul. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, setting the tone for the whole stay. The receptionist who greeted us was friendly and attentive, making us instantly feel at ease (and yes, she did have fabulous curls). It was one of those rare hotel welcomes that actually sticks with you. The hotel itself is beautiful, with thoughtful touches throughout. The on-site hammam is a real highlight—relaxing, stylish, and a wonderful way to unwind after exploring the city. You can tell the place is run with care and pride, which shines through in both the atmosphere and the facilities. The combination of location, service, and charm made our stay feel effortless and memorable. Come for the location, stay for the welcome—and definitely don’t miss the hammam.

Perfect hotel!! ||The staff were fantastic, from the front desk staff, the cleaners and the staff in the spa. We went for 4 nights for my partners birthday. Upon arrival we were upgraded room which was a lovely touch after such long travel! The rooms were super modern & immaculate! Fresh towels & bedding every day and the water and tea in room replenished when used.||We were given a discount for the spa facilities and the restaurant next door (which we didn't manage to get to visit but it smelt lovely) We had some cakes placed in our room as a birthday gesture for my partner which was a really really nice gesture.||We visited the spa the night before we left and it was such a lovely touch to our trip! I opted for a full body massage and Turkish bath package and the service was excellent I cannot recommend it enough! Their spa facilities are really lovely, nice intimate settings and calming after the hustle and bustle of Istanbul!||The hotel is perfectly situated about 500 yards from istiklal Street which holds plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops etc. There is a taxi stand at the bottom of the road and beside that there is also a chemist everything you need is a stones throw away. 15 minute walk to Galata tower, and lots of quirky neighbourhood bars in Pera close by! Grand Bazaar is about 10/12 minute uber journey over the water super easy to get to! Will absolutely be staying here again when I return

Very accommodating and quick with answers to questions. Located just off istiklal street, this hotel is centrally situated with multiple public transport links within a short distance. All the people working here that we encountered so far have been very helpful and friendly. Additionally the restaurant next door is pleasant and reasonably priced for a quick meal

Everything was perfect, staff very very helpful and friendly. They helped us every day for many times with a big smile and they were so friendly, Sinem, Safak and Mustafa were adorable and helpful and for that we will sure recommend the hotel and we will sure come back.
