Quiet zone, staffs were friendly but unfortunately one of the staff who handled me for checked in was not speak English so she didn’t mention of breakfast time and where and I lost my 2 days breakfast.

The location is not too far from Tram station but you need more effort and energy when going from property to the tram station with uphill roads about 10 minutes.

Charming house with lots of wood and nicely decorated. Our room was pretty and had everything needed, including toiletry kits, hairdryer etc. There is filtered drinking water provided in the kitchen. The house in Kumkapi neighborhood is well located to visit many sights in Sultanahmet by foot. There are some grocery shops and good South Asian restaurant in the vicinity. Public transport (bus, tram) is a 10 minute walk away.

The glass door to the bathroom made very loud, cracking noises when closing. This was a bit inconvenient, especially at night. The water tap was a bit shakey, but these are minor issues. As it is an old house you could hear people walking the stairs or floors above. If you are very sensitive to noise this might be good to know.

Loved the local feel, it was safe, staff ready to help and we loved our little room with balcony. 500 year old turkish bath, blue mosque, grand bazaar, spice market and many other attractions in a 5-15 min walk. Shopping and amazing deals alot cheaper than the markets in the area. Grocery store, bakeries and little food shops with fresh fruit close by. Fun to have coffee on the deck in morning and watch the many Istanbul cats below. Belly dancing and local music at restaurants down the street.

No issues at all. If you want a simple clean hotel this place is it!

Lovely small hotel, you feel like you are staying in somebody’s home. Our room was big and had a balcony. Rooms and building are slightly old, but is part of the charm. The breakfast was greek style, fresh all the time and delicious! Location is great, exactly close to city center and many big stations, so travel is easy. Be aware though that it can get pretty loud in the night, being in the center. We loved everything, the staff was so nice and helpful!! Cannot get better for this money in Istanbul!

Rooms and ammenities slightly old, like the bathroom. Also the toilet had a glass door which was…interesting.

The stay at Tom Square Boutique was very good. I stayed at this place for almost 3 weeks. I travel quite a lot and staying at a place for more than a week can get really boring, but this place is not just an ordinary Hotel. Everyone was very friendly, from the Host to the cleaning lady. Hafize, always greeted me in morning with a warm smile, this is how I like to start my day. I have been in different type of Hotels, but this is the only one I felt closest to home. Whenever I had my breakfast I have been looked after very well. She made sure I have everything and I am satisfied with the breakfast. I usually do not leave reviews, , but this one is really something special. Below are some of the positive things at this Hotel: - Good Value for Breakfast, Quite Huge. I informed the next day that I want to have less food . ( something that does not happen very often, as I usually eat a lot). They make sure you have a very good breakfast. - There are shops and restaurants nearby. If You like to have Lunch or dinner then I recommend Turkish Kebab restaurant which is one minute walk from the Hotel. There are supermarkets, Pharmacies which is like 3-5 minutes walks. - Attractions nearby, you can go by walk and experience some of the best places in Istanbul. Grand Bazar and so on. - There is a laundry just 7 minutes walk. You can pick your clothes on same day, and the price is good too. - As mentioned above , Hafize !., she definately is one of the best person I met in a hotel, and reason I liked the stay a lot. A very friendly person with a very warm smile. Every single day, for 3 weeks. Havent seen a person with so much energy and positivity for a while. If you spend more money, then you may get a better room somewhere else, but not the same service and overall great experience. (I have been in Istanbul before and did exactly that, but I have not felt as good as I felt in this Hotel). I also liked the rest of the Hotel team.

My father and I stayed in the rooftop apartment, it was so cute and had incredible views of all the rooftops, a beautiful church, and the ocean 🌊. There was a kitchen with a fridge and cooker, which was really handy to make breakfast and dinner, and to make tea and coffee to sit of the rooftop balcony with! The balcony catch’s the sunrise and has sunshine through almost the entire day, we sat and read our books in the sun, listening to the sounds of the old town bustling. It is very very clean and comfortable, and has everything you need from an ironing board, hairdryer, umbrella, and all kinds of handy cosmetics, shampoo, conditioner, shower gels, soaps, even nail files, and cotton pads for facial cleansing. 20 seconds from the front door and you are in the cobbled streets of the old town with all kinds of restaurants and shops, and we often walked down to the mamara water front which takes about 5 minutes to walk, and is just beautiful, we saw a stalk sunbathing one sunrise, We walked from the hotel to the grand bazaar, Aya Sofia, and Sultanahmet square, and many other local attractions, it is a beautiful walk through cobbled streets and my father who is 74 years old didn’t struggle. The staff very very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help us with various different requests, they are lovely and welcoming people, we had such a lovely time and were very sad to go home, we are returning to Istanbul in 6 months and we will definitely be staying again, we can wait for you next trip, thank you so much 🌸🪷🙏🏽✨🩵

Absolutely nothing! it was just perfect 👌🏽

What a gorgeous little boutique hotel. The owner renovated an old family home and converted it into a handful of rooms which are beautifully decorated. It is an old place with wooden floors and lots of stairs, but it's great if you want somewhere unique. The noise didn't bother us at all. We had the suite on the 3rd floor which also had a balcony to sit and have coffee on in the mornings. Would absolutely recommend booking that room.

The only other staff member we saw, who I believe was the cleaner, wasn't very friendly. Couldn't get a smile or a word out of her the whole time.

It was my first stay in Istanbul, so I cannot compare well, but it was a nice quiet place between old buildings, with lots of places to eat nearby, and not too far from the Yenikapi metro station and sea. I especially recommend if you love birds as I am, because there are cute laughing seagulls on the roofs (best memories). The room was clean and cleaning was done every day. There were towels and bathroom amenities. Also there was heating, which is important if you travel in winter. Staff were friendly and polite, even provided us with a city map, which was handy.

There was some sewerage smell in the bathroom at first. But air deodorant helped.

We stayed here for 10 days over Christmas and New Years, 2 adults and 3 kids (9,11,13). The area when first arriving seems a bit sketchy but we quickly learnt that it's probably one of the safest we've stayed in in our years of traveling. Plenty of restaurants and shops open well into the night, a good bakery and supermarket minutes away too. The owner was very helpful with suggestions on what to visit and was available for any questions throughout our stay. The apartment was clean and perfect for us. We found it to be the best location for us. Grand Bazaar is a 10min walk up hill, Blue Mosque/Sophia Hague is 15-20mins away. 3 mins away along the coast we saw one of the best sunsets we've seen in a while. 30min walk to the ferry port to go to the Asia side which is highly recommended. Any direction you go from the hotel and you will find something if you just keep walking, forget the bus or tram, you'll see more walking.

The room was small but cosy and clean. The location was decent. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially Hafize and Tomurgok! Will definitely be back soon :)

It’s a steep walk up to the bazar
