Hotel Tashkonak Istanbul

Great location, genuinely friendly staff and real value for money.

Pros: The breakfast was one of the best I ever had in hotels. I don't know if this is standard in Turkish hotels, but Tashkonak provides great choice of warm and cold dishes to choose from - everything is fresh and tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful - we asked for suggestions for sightseeing, and the plan that front desk guy suggested us worked just perfect. Really appreciated. There is also the terrace on the roof with a great view at Bosphorus. Great location - five minutes walk from the hippodrome and Blue Mosque. Cant't really ask for more for this price. :)

Cons: Small items like electric sockets, door and window locks are crying for change (lot of them damaged, but still working), but this is just a minor nuisance.

Pros: The staff truly made the difference and covered many of the hotel’s general issues. The reception team, especially the guy with the ponytail, were extremely helpful and kind with everything we asked for. The location is very convenient and makes getting around easy.

Cons: The hotel definitely needs renovation, and the breakfast was quite basic. Overall, it offers good value for money for a low-cost hotel, mainly thanks to the friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly and good value for money.

Pros: Great location. Great staff and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Cons: All was good.

Great staff and excellent location

Pros: The staff were very kind and helpful from the very first minute, answering all our questions and assisting us with everything we needed. The location is great, the room is spacious, and the beds are very comfortable.

Cons: If there was one thing we liked less, it was the breakfast. Although it is described as a traditional Turkish breakfast, we found it a bit limited. The options were the same every day and there wasn’t much variety in terms of international choices. We would have appreciated a wider selection, especially more pastries and different options.

Pros: Everything, especially the location is supreme and the staff is one of the most friendly we have ever met, the breakfast was very tasty as well.

Pros: The location is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Easy to get from hotel to all the attractions. Would stay again.
