Hotel is located a quite area half way from Galata Tower and Taksim square. Great experience overall: super friendly and accommodating staff, beautiful and spacious room and last but not least an amazing breakfast with an incredible view on the Bosphorus! My wife isn’t a morning person whatsoever, nonetheless after trying our first breakfast at sunrise due to some early work to do, she couldn’t get enough of it and so sunrise breakfast became the routine of our stay at Tomtom

Great location. Just mins walk to the main stretch of the Gerome and walkable to many sites if you are willing to walk. Not as high up and steep climb up so suitable for families. We had a great view of the entire city which looks amazing at night when the city lit up. We were there in winter hence the roof top patio with the carpets and pillows werent set up else it will be magical. Staff are friendly and helpful - both at reception and at the breakfast area
