What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Tashkonak Istanbul is praised for its friendly, welcoming staff and excellent, walkable location near Sultanahmet landmarks, while its older building, small rooms, thin walls, and lack of elevator appear as the most common drawbacks.

Cleanliness is typically strong, though a minority report bathroom issues or inconsistent housekeeping. Breakfast is widely liked for its traditional spread, but some find it repetitive or limited, and a few disliked it. Several guests enjoyed family suites and the rooftop terrace views. Expect a simple, centrally based stay with standout hospitality.

The hotel is amazingly located, that and the service of the people working there are thr big plus! On the downside, basically the pictures on expedia DOES NOT match the reallity.... the rooms are tiny, the hotel is really old and it's kinda dirty... We had a good time because we really came to the room just to sleep and didn't spend time in the hotel... it is very close to Sultanahamat, so you will be walking distance from blue mosque or Hagia Sophia... Good job to the people wjo works there!!!

From the moment of our arrival the young staff in this small family run hotel could not have been more welcoming, friendly, or helpful. It is a simple hotel, very centrally located, but tucked away in a quiet side street. The room was immaculately clean with comfortable beds. There are two roof terraces with great views over the Bosporus. Breakfast was simple but with plenty of choice of local dishes and more conventional choices. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great place to stay for a long weekend break in Istanbul.

I strongly warn against staying at this property. My wife and her 70-year-old mother were staying here for a week-long trip. On the fourth day, my wife’s sister visited for 15 minutes to help her elderly mother dress for the day. The hotel manager immediately confronted them, aggressively demanding additional money for the short visitor. When they refused to pay this arbitrary fee, the manager became threatening and demanded they vacate the room immediately. For their own safety, they were forced to leave and find emergency accommodation elsewhere at a high cost. The behavior of the management was unprofessional, predatory, and made my family feel completely unsafe. Neither the hotel nor Hotels.com has taken responsibility for this breach of contract or the safety of the guests. We were forced to your safety or your money.

This is a 1-2 start hotel. The best way to describe is “adequate”. If you are on a budget and looking for a decent no frills place near the blue mosque, this does it. The breakfast was terrible. We are one day and avoided it for the rest of the trip. The walls are super thin and you can hear pretty clearly what folks next to your room. No napkin / tissue paper provided, an electric pot is there to boil water but no tea / coffee provided. Rooms are tiny even for sultanahmet standards. When we asked for iron and ironing board, we got an old iron that has stiff stuck on it. When I asked for board the guy at front desk said just use the bed or floor as no board available. The folks at the front desk were helpful but clearly they had no idea how to run a hotel that caters to foreigners.
