“Very relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We really could not fault this hotel. Through business and pleasure i have stayed in many hotels in many different countries/cities over the years and this one certainly ranks as one of my favourites. Location, service, comfort and amenities with the exception of fitness/workout facilities (which do not exist) are all excellent.

Dear "Mark P";

Thank you for rating Tomtom Suites "excellent" in TripAdvisor. We truly appreciate you are comparing our property to many other you've visited in the world, and you have ranked us as your favorite. As we are a small hotel, we are missing some large places to locate an exercise room or fitness hall but our welcome team and i will be happy to recommend many fitness options nearby at your next visit in our hotel. On behalf of Tomtom team, i thank you again for your contribution and wish you a pleasant day.

Kindest Regards.

“Stylish sanctuary in vibrant Istanbul”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

We loved our stay at Tomtom Suites! We travel a lot, and Tomtom is one of the most beautifully-designed properties we've ever visited. It is stylish and modern but in a historic setting, which made the property feel very unique and special. The rooms were beautiful and intricate, and the bathroom was stunning in Turkish marble. Just lovely! The highlight for me was the interesting modern art displayed throughout the hotel... made us feel like we were staying in a beautiful art gallery!

We enjoyed drinks on the roof with a great view of the Bosphorus, and we loved wandering around the vibrant streets of Beyoglu.

What is keeping this from a 5-star rating is that we found the concierge to struggle with directions and recommendations. The staff was all very friendly, though.

“Tom Tom's a great find in Istanbul!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

The property is situated in a small dead end street, in an old Franciscan Monastery. This is the ultimate "boutique" hotel, with suites ranging from comfortable and spacious, to the top level penthouse with a sensational massive balcony with a view of the Bosphorous, and an oversized bedroom, living room, and bathroom. An adjoining smaller regular sized room makes this a great bet for children or a colleague. The service is exceptional from the the friendly helpful front desk team. The small street is security protected as this is the location of the Italian Embassy - Taksim is a short distance away, and the location is centrally located for easy access. A great "find" - a member of the prestigous SLH group. Only drawback, being a relatively small property, there is no exercise room.

Room Tip: Select a larger suite rather than the minimum rate rooms.

Thank you for your review of your recent stay in Tomtom. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay in your suite, along with the facilities and ambiance of the entire hotel, and the friendly staff service.
I am also happy to hear that you enjoyed our location in a small and quite street with security controls. This is true, it helps our guests to feel more secured while walking around.
