Highly recommended. In a great location, just minutes away from the blue mosque and hagia sofia (which is in the heart of the city). The staff were extremely friendly, had great recommendations and were always willing to answer any questions (very knowladgable). The complimentary breakfast is the best I've ever had, with a mix of local and international foods (all... More

What an excellent find - I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. My husband and I stayed for five nights in January 2012 and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our room was gorgeous, and expertly cleaned every day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the heater kept us nice and toasty. The hotel itself is tucked down a... More

My family of four had a wonderful stay for a week at Tashkonak Hotel in a family suite overlooking the Marmara Sea. It felt like home - i.e. like living in a nice apartment. The staff was friendly and very helpful in providing guidance on tourist spots to visit and arranging for our tours. This hotel had the best breakfast... More

A little off the beaten track down a side street, yet within a five minute walk of Istanbul's top sights, we found this to be a perfect retreat. Ahmet and Imir on reception were real gentlemen and the staff on the breakfast buffet were attentive and polite. Plus you get a super view of the Sea of Marmara, with the... More

We stayed at the Tashkonak from 27 to 30 December. This was my second time in Istanbul. The location is so great, Agia Sofia was practically our neighbourhood. Lovely building, traditional konak (wooden, multi-floor, no lift), very helpful staff, nice breakfast on a terrace overlooking the Marmara sea. Not too close to restaurants and night life, but the best for... More
