The situation of this hotel is outstanding, being just off the hippodrome with a view of the Blue Mosque. The reception staff were friendly and helpful; the roof terrace staff very pleasant but less efficient in their service. An airport pickup was efficiently arranged for our arrival and departure.The rooms are adequate - the standard rooms are a bit small... More

We picked this mid-priced hotel from two good guide books, and having read some great reviews, and happily we were not disappointed. In fact we were most pleasantly surprised. Our first commendation has to go to the staff. They are so friendly and helpful, and turned out to be the best advisors on all matters Istanbul. The location is unbeatable,... More

My wife and I stayed here to see in the New Year and we were very pleased with our choice. The main plus point is the location - a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque and therefore an easy walk to the main attractions in the old part of the city. The view from the top floor, where breakfast is... More

Excellent location minutes away from all major sights yet quiet as set back from the hippodrome. The rooftop terrace has one of the most spectacular views for breakfast I have ever seen! Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are relatively basic but good value for money considering the location.

We started our trip with 3 nights here to get over jet lag before starting a backpacking journey, traveling with two children aged 7 and 9. This hotel is steps from a number of restaurants and a short walk from the Blue Mosque. The view from the rooftop restaurant is beautiful. Staff are very friendly and helpful, especially in the...

My wife and I spent six nights at Turkoman Hotel in late Sept-early Oct 2012---couldn't have been more perfect! Two minutes away from all the great sites yet hidden away in a noise-free cul-de-sac, wonderful staff (especially the manager Rifat) very good breakfast and heavenly view from the terrace where you can while the hours away! Also we adored the... More

Great small hotel 100 metres from Hippodrome, within walking distance of all the must see attractions. Breakfast choice good, the area is upstairs with great views to Sea of Marma and Blue Mosque. When you stay you need to use the trams at the other end of the Hippodrome, its easy fast and cheap 2Lire. If you cant work it... More

First of all, it's not really an "hotel" in the stricktest sense, it's much cozier and more like a guest house...but I like that. Our room was very small but suffiecient for a 2 night stay and clean with a GREAT view overlooking Sulthanamet Square and the Blue Mosque. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was OK, the dining room... More

I spent 3 days in Istanbul alone after my friends and I all went our separate ways. I came across this hotel after the original hotel I wanted was booked and the owner sent me to Turkoman. It was 11 pm and Ardie, the night worker, was a great help! They are very helpful - will write out directions for... More
