Excellent stay at Tomtom Suites with exceptional service level from staff. First during check in the manager noticed my original room had a small issue so he upgraded me to another larger room with a beautiful view over the city. He also spent time with me providing tips on sights to see around the neighborhood. Second, I had a very early flight so the staff insisted that they bring breakfast to my room at 4:00 a.m. This was a very nice touch and much appreciated especially so early in the morning. The staff were also very helpful in arranging a ride back to IST airport. Even though I was on a business trip with a quick layover in Istanbul, they made me feel like I was staying with friends and family.
