This is an absolute gem of a hotel. The staff are helpful, friendly and go out of their way to make sure your stay is great. The views are splendid, out over Galata Port, with a peek into the Italian consulate’s garden on the way through. The wide oak floor boards, marble bathroom floors, and pared back textile palette all contribute to a calm and peaceful room. This is a hotel which epitomises Istanbul: modernity overlaying a proud and complex history. I want to live in this charming place. I will be back.

All was perfect.

We were upgraded and the room we had was huge with high ceilings. Large luxurious bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and very wonderfully varied - lots of pastries sweet and savoury to choose from, delicious juice and coffee - fabulous view of the Bosphorous, Topkapi palace, and the Hagia Sofia in the distance. Helpful staff. Location is away from the main hustle and bustle so it feels nice and secluded especially as its next tot the Italian consulate / embassy and it's useful for the main shopping street and the trendy areas around Beyoglu, Taxim, etc. We had a fabulous meal from room service so the chef is great! Delicious tea served at 4pm a real treat. Great books in the library on Turkish carpets, etc.

Room was a bit too warm and controlling the temperature not so easy. Opening the windows to cool it down and let the fresh air in meant the seagull noise in the mornings was a bit irritating.

Honestly one of the most comfortable stays we’ve had during our Turkey trip. The room is spacious, quiet, classy, clean and comfortable. Great hospitality from the staff. Great breakfast. Location is also convenient, close to most places. We were informed of the controlled traffic of the street where the hotel is located so it didn’t come as a surprise - it’s a slope, so be prepared to push your suitcases uphill or downhill in order to get to the main road where taxi can wait. Definitely not a long walk and not a steep slope. We will want to choose here if we visit Istanbul again! Highly recommend.

Cosy elegant boutique hotel, it is a renovated historic building, limited number of rooms but the rooms are massive nicely decorated with plenty of space and great amneties. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide selection of traditional turkish dishes with top quality ingredients served in a room with panoramic city views, it is such a charming way to start your day. Good location, opposite to the Italian consulate and close to Galata tower, taksim street and Karakoy tram and pier, you can also easily walk to the spice bazar within 15 minutes . The staff and service were exceptional.

Due to its location opposite to the Italian consulate, no cars are allowd on the hotel's street, it is for pedestrians only. So expect taxis to drop you within a very short, but steep, distance from the hotel. Important to keep that in mind if you are with limited mobility or have lots of bags (I'm sure if you ask the hotel can help you with that).

Absolutely stunning interior and exterior, immaculately clean and artfully decorated. Quiet spot in a busy and trendy area of the city due to proximity to the Italian embassy. Easy access to the tram. Quick walk to many of the sights (Galata Tower, Istanbul Modern, etc.). Lots of great shopping and eating in the neighbourhood and a quick walk to buzzy Karakoy. Incredible views of the skyline, dotted with minerets, Topkapi palace and Ayla Sofia. But the kindness and service of the amazing staff takes the cake!

Before 8 am and after 8 pm, no cars are allowed on the short walk from the Main Street to the hotel due to embassy security. It was not a long walk or a big deal at all.

This hotel quickly became our favorite in Istanbul! It's clean, spacious and stylish. The beds are super comfortable. There were jacuzzi baths in both rooms we stayed in. And Molton Brown amenities are provided. From the room on the 3rd floor we had a very beautiful view over the rooftops. And there's an even better view from the breakfast terrace! The sraff is super nice and professional. The breakfast is probably the best we had in Istanbul - at first, it might seem like quite a small selection, but it's actually more than enough, and everything is fresh and tasty. The location is great if you don't mind going uphill. It's about 5 minutes to Istiklal streat, but it's rather steep, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, you can go down the street, and it takes around 15 minutes to get to the beautiful waterfront.

Nothing, really.

1. Best breakfast of my life (and I tend to dine well!). Exceptional food quality and an unforgettable view. 2. Spacious, very clean, and well-equipped rooms. 3. Best price-to-quality ratio I've had in a long time. 4. The Nicole restaurant discount for hotel guests was a great bonus. 5. Perfect customer service - even early check-in was accommodated. 6. Truly large bed.

Difficult for two people to use the sink due to the narrow alcove. The bathroom, in white marble, could use a bit more decoration. But honestly, if these are my only "complaints," it shows how picky you'd have to be to find anything wrong!

The property was in a nice quiet nook, no traffic or cars unless there was a specific situation like school pick up. It was so niche and beautiful inside the property, because it doesn’t have so many rooms like a regular hotel, you really feel at home. The staff are incredible, every single one of them. They always greet you by your name and are so so kind and offer to help in any possible way they can.

The only small issue was the loud banging of the air conditioning outside the bedroom window but I slept through it none the less.

Wonderful hotel in a quiet embassy neighborhood. Stop your research & book it, sit back & enjoy. We loved the decor, warmth, gorgeous views from our spacious 3rd floor rooms. Also breakfast and daily afternoon tea + snacks was delicious. Nothing but a great experience! Customer service was also outstanding -- Fuad in the restaurant is a gem and always so kind and helpful.

We had a perfect stay. Only thing to be aware of is that this hotel is located on a little hill, so you must be able to walk it up and down easily to get to the main shopping & tourist areas in Galata. Taxis also have no problem accessing it and will drop you off a block away.

Outstanding hotel with beautiful rooms, fantastic location, extremely friendly and helpful staff, amazing breakfast, high cleanliness. Excellent bed with very nice pillows. The hotel is located only 5 min walk from Istiklal shopping street and similar distance to a stram station. 10-15 min walk to Gelata tower. Many nice local stores near the hotel. Despite its very central location, the neigherbourhood is very quiet. Istanbul is a huge, lively and at times noisy city, but Tomtom Suites has an ideal location. - The rooms are stunning. Great size. - The hotel offered us a free upgrade and gave us a welcome drink upon arrival. - The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. - The breakfast offer fantastic food of high quality with excellent servive. The view is amazing. - The hotel has complementary coffee, tea and snacks every day from 16:00-18:00 hrs Highly recommend this hotel.
