Being a small boutique hotel you feel the personalized service from the very friendly staff and especially the manager Mr Alp. The free breakfast they offer is adequate and very fresh and tasty.

Cozy hotel with some improvements to make

Nice little hotel in good location. Very comfortable beds. The only downside is the nosie coming from the street - to some degree expected given the location but still. Breakfast could have been better.

6/10 Good

Functional, noisy at night.

Room was comfy, modern, clean. Staff friendly enough. Tip - book a room facing the city, not the back of the hotel. There are bars and a club making noise until 2am. Breakfast - very limited.

Staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was combo of expected foods and interesting fruits; plenty and fresh in rooftop terrace with view thru to blue mosque and aya Sophia. Rooms were much smaller than photos suggest, but comfortable and good showers/towels. Coffee in room is good. We were on first floor street front; LOTS of street noise every night thru till 3-5am. If back again I’d ask for higher floor (there is an elevator) and rear of building

We really loved our stay at this hotel. Very clean, fantastic staff and great location.(Close to all the shops and restaurants, and only a 10 min walk to the metro) We had a simple but yummy breakfast every morning on the upper level with amazing city views. Room was a good size, lots of closet space, premium tv channels, modern fixtures and amenities. Safe and mini fridge. Daily housekeeping. The only downside is that it can be quite noisy outside, especially on Saturdays. If you sleep light or want a quiet space then this hotel is not for you. Fortunately, it wasn’t an issue for us. We’d go back again for sure.

This is a very small property in the middle of Taksim. I decided to book this hotel because of the outstanding reviews it got on Hotels.com. There are about two rooms per floor that are connected by a stairwell and a small elevator. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The breakfast was modest but enough. BUT THE NOISE. My room faced a bar that went until about 2 am, and I wasn't able to sleep at all. I also asked for a late check out, but the hotel couldn't accommodate me. It's a good place, its location is convenient, but not as amazing as the reviews made me think it was.

I really loved Gentle Tom. The staff there are super nice and welcoming. It's a small hotel decorated beautifully with interesting art on the walls and a lovely area for breakfast or sitting in with a view over the old city. I loved my room, so cosy and clean, I just wanted to hang out in there. Just off the Iskital street and minutes away from the many art and craft shops of Galata, the hotel is ideally located. The only downside may be having a street facing window on a Saturday night - people seem to enjoy playing loud music from cars well into the small hours (not a problem otherwise, I barely heard the cars not playing loud music). Despite that, I checked out very reluctantly as I was really enjoying my room. I was very grateful to the team there for sorting me out with an airport transfer - they use a particular taxi driver rather than the VIP cars, which was far more affordable and nicer (the driver stopped quickly to buy water for me, unasked, and then asked if I wanted a coffee too for the drive!) I'd stay there again for sure.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay REPEAT DO NOT STAY at this hotel if you want to sleep!!! The noise from outside is unbearable, they even leave ear plugs next to the coffee pods. I had a balcony room on the 1st floor looking straight into a terrace bar. Paid an additional unbelieve €45/per night so extra €145 for 3 nights to have the same room on the 5th Floor so no one looking directly into the room and to try and reduce the noise issue, which did not work. I use Hotels.com on weekly basis for travelling with work and I can’t believe they list this hotel. I appreciate that being in the centre of a city can be noise which can be part of the experience, however, the noise from the bars surrounding the hotel are unbelievable!! This is my first negative review from at least 50 different stays and its pains me to leave it. But unless very loud noise does not affect you then DO NOT STAY at Gentle Tom. It will ruin your stay in Istanbul. @Gentle Tom pls feel free to contact me.

Beautiful boutique hotel, brand new. Rooms are small but very clean and beautifully designed. Towels and bedding - superb quality. Front desk employees are friendly and helpful. Location is excellent, if you want to stay near Taksim square and Istiklal street. Fresh light breakfast is included. If you prefer unique hotels to cookie-cutter properties with no personality, it’s definitely your place to stay.
