Urban Balcony Suite: an 80 m² apartment in Beyoğlu

Urban Balcony Suite - Close to Taksim sits in Tomtom, a part of Beyoğlu in İstanbul, at Boğazkesen Caddesi No: 68. Galata Tower is about 0.6 km from the building and Taksim Square about 1 km, both in a straight line.

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.2 km away, in a straight line. All of these distances are straight-line measures rather than route lengths.

• Sirkeci railway station: about 1.6 km
• Topkapı Palace: about 1.8 km
• Süleymaniye Mosque: about 2 km
• Hagia Sophia: about 2.3 km
• Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 2.6 km

The Apartment is the only room type, and it is a generous one: 80 m² with two double beds and one sofa bed.

For two couples, each pair has its own double bed. For a family, parents can take one double and children the other, with the sofa bed as a spare for a child or an extra member of the party.

Children are allowed, which matches the family use the layout invites.

This is an apartment building, not a hotel with a floor of rooms, and it contains just the one apartment. A group therefore takes the whole 80 m² flat as a single shared space; there are no further units to add on and no choice of room types to weigh up.

On the other hand, anyone needing several separate rooms will not find them here.

Check-in opens at 15:00 and the latest check-in is 22:00. An arrival after 22:00 cannot be taken, so a late evening flight into Sabiha Gökçen, about 31.2 km away in a straight line, needs a plan that reaches the door before then.

Check-out is until 11:00, which sets the departure morning. Children are allowed; pets are not, so the flat does not suit anyone travelling with an animal.

It suits a family or a group of friends who want one shared apartment rather than separate hotel rooms: 80 m², two double beds, a sofa bed, children welcome, and a position about 1 km from Taksim Square and 0.6 km from Galata Tower in a straight line. For rail travel, Sirkeci station is about 1.6 km away.

It does not suit travellers with pets, or anyone whose arrival falls after the 22:00 latest check-in. Nor does it suit a party that wants to split across several rooms; the flat is the whole offering. A couple wanting nothing more than a double bed will find it larger than they need, though it works for that too.
