I do a fair amount of traveling for both work and pleasure, and my trip to Istanbul earlier this month was both. I didn't want to pay a great deal of money and wanted also to be close to the sites in Sultanahmet and the Golden Horn. The Tashkonak greatly exceeded my expectations. The rooms included cable tv, air conditioning... more

Really enjoyed our stay of 6 nights, the room was comfortable with a/c and a great shower. Breakfasts were good and held on the roof garden with stuning views over the marmara. It is in a quiet street and very close to the center of sultanahmet. The staff were great, extremely warm and friendly and helped us with everything! more

Location was great!!!! Accommodations were great!!!!! Buffet breakfast on the roof top was sensational!!!! I might add, Savash and Coskun were extremely helpful in preparing our itinerary for "side t rips" to Cappadocia, Pamukkele, and Ephesus. Many thanks, Sandra more

Having returned from Istanbul on the 17th June I can't believe the previous review is the same hotel I experienced. Our room on the 2nd floor was large - 6ft bed with plenty of space surrounding it.

At the time of booking this hotel it was #16 on Trip Advisor. I cannot claim to have stayed in the other 435 hotels in Istanbul, but find it seriously hard to believe that this is #16 best in terms of quality and value for money. We paid €100 per night for a shoebox room – if you are thinking... more

We are Japanese travelers. We traveled long way from Japan to Turkey and found a place like our home in Istanbul.

Friendly hotel staffs welcomed us when we arrived there around 3 o'clock... more

We stayed 3 days in this hotel it is so nice. The clean room, the very kind staff and good breakfast, it was exellent. The pick-up service was also good. Everythig good!! more

How lucky can one get with the first of our hotels booked in Turkey where Tashkonak became our benchmark for everything else in comparison. We stayed for 2 nights in late May and returned for another 2 nights in early June at the end of our holiday. It is in a superb location behind the Blue Mosque. The staff, Inan,... more

We spent a very enjoyable weekend at the Tashkonak hotel in May. We were given a spacious (and spotless) four-bed room for the two of us. We couldn't say it was really quiet (minaret close by) but it seemed quiet for the neighbourhood. The staff were friendly and helpful, the Blue Mosque and the Aya Sofia within easy walking distance,... more
