Tom Square Boutique Hotel in Istanbul

The good. *opening windows *water is hot but with limited pressure  *free drinking water on request *fridge that works, very old but keeps drinks cool *nice decent coffee mugs and kettle *back rooms quiet from street noise *linen not changed daily, towels were, room tidied each day, for cheap hotel was good service *bathroom clean but small light not working The bad. *the bed in Snapper room is extremely uncomfortable, not sure of other rooms, but you can feel the springs when laying on it. Probably most uncomfortable bed ever spent night on. If you have back problems avoid, easy fix is to purchase a proper bed topper. *some rooms extremely small, beware and read carefully which room you are in. *back rooms exposed to hotel straight opposite, need to sit in dark with blinds closed for privacy, put in sheer curtain! *step up to half bath/shower half a metre, not easy to get in and out safely. *noise travels straight thru between floors, could hear above snoring and every word spoken, take ear plugs!! *linen and towels have been used for years, thin and worn. All need replacing.  *ripped sheet on bed, housekeeping did not notice, we did, pointed out and promptly changed, big tick for management *there is a very bad sewer smell walking up stairs and in bathrooms. Understand its an old run down area but its not pleasant nor nice. All in all, not impressed at all and would in future will pay a little extra, move closer to centre and up hill, but if you have a low budget and happy for all its problems, its ok, just.

Please dnt go if you have a child. The floor is very squeeky. You open the door and there are dangerous stairs. There were two cupboard in our room which we later found out were shower area and bathroom. The blinds could hardly stop any sunlight.
There is no elevator, good luck taking your stuff upstairs.
They deduct amount in advance so we had to find another place to stay.
But if you are looking for a place to spend a night and have less to cary and dnt care about squeaky floors.
You are more than welcome to stay.

Floors are squeaky and the rooms are so noisy that you can literally hear anything.
Inside is build with flaky, brittle wood, and you constantly get the feeling its gonna collapse.

We changed hotels after the first night and the staff charges us for the entire reservation!!!

Do not take it if you want a good night sleep.
