"Istanbul is fast becoming Europe's capital of cool, and its hip-o-meter certainly clocked up a couple more notches with the April 2008 opening of the W in the unlikely... neighborhood of Beşiktaş."
Fodor's
"An 1870s Ottoman block of row houses has been restored and enhanced with posh ultramodernity—sexy lighting, chic East-meets-West decor, and cool amenities."

"Famous for its thousands of hanging glass lamps that even infiltrate the bedrooms, the Kybele, created out of a pair of townhouses, is a splash of colour both inside and out."
Lonely Planet
"The location near Aya Sofya is central, and the rooms, which feature cute marble bathrooms, are smallish but comfortable."
