“Charming hotel a short walk away from the sights”

We really enjoyed our stay. The call to prayer made for an early wake up on the first day, but we slept through it the rest of the week. Very charming hotel with a lot of character. Our room was small but serviceable. The beautiful rooftop breakfast room/patio was amazing. The type of view you should have to spend much more for! The hotel is located a short walk (5 minutes) away from the more busy and touristy area lined with shops and restaurants, in what seems like a bit more residential area. We liked the quietness and felt completely comfortable walking back after dinner.

“made this trip great”

great location, great deal, friendly service. good breakfast, nice rooms

“Good Hotel and close to sites”

Good value for money and easy to get to the sites.

“Great Value and Location!!”

Sure, you can hear the call to prayer in the wee small hours of the morning as if they were right outside your window but the somewhat residential neighborhood 5 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque was right where we wanted to be. We compared here with our guidebook's recommendations and Tash Konak is where we ended up staying 2 nights each stay on each of three trips back into Istanbul. Wonderful staff, clean rooms, a nice garden to hang out in and a good breakfast with water views. WIth any luck, I will get to go back and stay longer!!

“Amazing Hotel!!!”

This Hotel offers all that is needed for a safe relaxing vacation. The Hotel Staff was very helpful when I encountered a slight crisis with an ATM machine. They are warm, friendly, and make you feel at home. Our room was beautiful with a terrace and overlooked the garden I will always look back on this trip and remember the excellent staff!!!

“Can't wait to go back”

This is a small hotel with a rooftop terrace breakfast buffet. The staff was very, very nice. Our room was small but comfortable, and had a small terrace. This hotel within a few minutes walking, you at the Blue Mosque.There are so many small hotels ON the path, and small stores selling carpets and other hand made beautiful goods.It was a nice feeling being tucked into the locals a little. You hear the prayer chanting during day (and 5am!) The people are extremely nice. It felt very safe.Lovely view of Marmara sea from terrace.

“Excellent hotel and location”

Having read previous reviews before we went we were prepared for the rather small rooms and not much storage space. However, all of this matters little as the hotel is extremely well run. The staff were most accomodating all all occasions and as everywhere we went - a very friendly nation. The hotel is ideally situated for all the major sites in the old part of the city as well as within walking distance of the Golden Horn etc. I would reccommend this hotel to anyone and hope that one day we may return.

“Wonderful place in Istanbul”

Friendly, helpful staff (that speak English), amazing breakfast with an amazing view. Room was small, but very clean, and good sized bathroom, that was very clean as well. We had a small terrace off our room. There is a computer and internet available, that was really appreciated when doing further travel research and contacting family. There is also a printer that can be used, that was a nice surprise. We had asked to stay an additional night, and the staff was very helpful in extending our stay, and ensuring we could stay in the same room, so we didn't have to move rooms. Would stay here again, if coming back to Istanbul in the future. Close to good restaurants, and the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome. Nice, quiet neighbourhood.

“An absolute gem”

Delightful hotel just five minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and an ideal base for seeing everything that Istanbul has to offer. Tucked down a side street, it was relatively quiet, apart from the early morning call to prayer, but that will happen anywhere you stay in Istanbul. Breakfast is taken on the top floor with fantastic views over the roof tops to the Sea of Marmara and a shady courtyard garden on the ground floor offers free tea every day from 15.00 to 20.00. Comfortable rooms with local touches to the decor and lashings of hot water in the shower. The staff were friendly and helpful, often anticipating travellers' requirements. I would go back there any time.

“Comfortable, great location”

The hotel is in a great location and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The terrace where you have breakfast gives a lovely view of the Marmara Sea, and you can see the Blue Mosque. In the lobby there is a computer which you can use.
