| Very enjoyable stay. Staff were very friendly, helpful and
efficient. Transport to and from airport arranged by reception -
even during the night. Breakfast on the terrace gives a lovely
view. Location very central and easy access to main tourist
sites. |

Hôtel idéalement situé dans le viel Istanbul dans un quartier
typique. Trés bon accueil et bon accès aux différents sites à
visiter. Nombreux restaurants dans les environs. Certaines
chambres ont la vue sur la mer de Marmara. Parfait pour un
séjour à Istanbul.

Fully dedicated employees, amazing location, very reasonable
pricing. A perfect address, should the breakfast offer a bit
more choice. I'll definitely return often there, even during my
business trips.

Our stay at Tashkonak was very satisfactory. The rooms were not
very soundproof, but the hotel is in a quiet street, so this was
not too much of a hassle. Breakfast was lovely, however we were
not able to get a seat in the dining room on one of the mornings
- I am not sure how they would cope in peak season! Perhaps they
are able to spread some more tables out further onto their
balcony...? The hotel was very close to the Blue Mosque, and in
short walking distance to the local restaurants, etc. All in all,
we certainly enjoyed our stay and felt that Tashkonak was very
good value for money.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Tashkonak. The staff were very
friendly and helpful. Good views of the sea and Blue Mosque from
the rooftop breakfast area. Nice breakfast. I'll stay there
again. The neighborhood was a bit dark at night, but the
location was an easy walk to major sights and public
transportation.

A small, clean attractive hotel well situated near the Blue Mosk,
Agia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. The staff was attentive and
helpful. The view from their rooftop dining room was spectacular.

| Tash Konak hotel is very nice and conveniently placed for a
visit of old Istanbul. The rooms are pleasantly decorated in the
typical local style, a couple of square meters more wouldn't
have hurt, but I think there are larger rooms available with a
little surcharge. The hotel staff was very helpful on every
occasion. All in all it was very good quality for the price paid. |

| We were very pleased with this hotel, and would definitely
return if we visit Istanbul again. The staff was wonderful -
very helpful. After we arrived, they offered us tea and then sat
down with us and a map of Istanbul, and pointed out all the big
sights of interest, and recommended how to make the most of our
brief stay. The location in perfect - very close to everything.
We did pay for the larger room, and it was very spacious -
tastefully decorated in a Victorian style with a nice seating
area - sofa, chairs, coffee table. They comment is true about
the minaret broadcasting the call to prayer right outside the
window, but visiting a city with 3200 mosques during Ramadan,
I'm not sure you could escape that no matter where you stayed. I
can't say enough good things about the staff, and highly
recommend this hotel.

| The breakfast buffets were ample and delightfully presented in
the rooftop dining and viewing area. The location of the hotel
is perfect for those who want to be able to walk to the
historical sites or get to public transportation easily. The
service was good and they treated our group of 26 with courtesy
and friendliness. The airport pickup was free and they arranged
for our airport return perfectly. There is no elevator so you
must be able to climb up to the 4th. floor for breakfast. |

Very
impressed that a hotel offered (and delivered so much) for
the tariff. Extras like pickup from airport (at 2am) free
internet connection, breakfast on rooftop terrace, etc all
appreciated. Very obliging staff even at 2am when we arrived.
Staff helped direct us to nearest ATMs etc, actually took us
there. Would definitely stay here again. VENERE.COM

This hotel has the advantage of being located in the central
area of Sultan Ahmet (5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque) as
well as being in a residential area, across from a small mosque.
It allows the welcome experience of life in a neighbourhood.
Also, there are some good little restaurants close to the hotel
which makes it very practical to go out even late at night. The
staff is friendly, helpful and competent, at all levels.
Although, from what I gathered, the staff members are employees
of the hotel, they all display the type of care that you
normally experience in a family-owned hotel. The room I had was
quite adequate in size and, most important, it was clean. I
stayed for 11 days. I specially recommend this hotel to anyone
who wants to get slightly out of the beaten track.

| This hotel is fantastic. We arrived at the station after
catching the overnight train from Thessaloniki, Greece and the
driver had to ask for a few directions but once there we were
definitely in the right place. It is located behind the Blue
Mosque and within easy walking distance of all the main
attractions. The staff here were fantastic and bent over
backwards to help. There was a very reasonable buffet breakfast
on the rooftop each morning and an added bonus of wireless
internet in the hotel (we had our own laptop and were able to
access the net free of charge) I cannot recommend this hotel
more highly for its location, the staff, the clean rooms just
about everything. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

LIFE & WORK MARCH 2003 |
THE EDITORILALLY INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
MYSTERIOUS Istanbul-where two cultures combine to offer acıty
rich in history, complex in mood, and thrusting with excitement
: and when you're there-there is only one place to stay.
Snug in the heart of the exotic Sultanahmet District of the city,
cheek by jowl with the major ''must sees'' of the Aghia Sophia,
the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar-all of
them walkable within minutes-hides the Tashkonak Hotel-an old
fashioned, simple, but immensely welcoming hotel, where good
service is offered, and wise counsel given about how to make the
most and the best out of whatever time you have in the
intriguing city of Istanbul.
Breakfast at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the Bosphorus,
boats butting their way to the Black Sea-is a wonderful
introduction to the bustling city-above it, and yet in the heart
of it: while the call to prayer echoes from the minarets around
you-and you know this is somewhere special - and a place that
might be frightening in its uniqueness, its differentness.
But at the Tashkonak you are in the save hands of Savas and
Erdinc, the two main players, who will advise you where to go,
how to avoid being ripped off at the Grand Bazaar, and where you
can eat well at a ridiculously cheap price. LIFE & WORK
