About

Hotel Tashkonak Istanbul

Hotel Tashkonak Istanbul sits on a quiet side street in Sultanahmet, the heart of Istanbul's Old City. The major sights – Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace – are within a 10-minute walk, and the Sea of Marmara is close enough to catch from the upper floors.

The hotel has the feel of a traditional Turkish family home, with a small garden, a sun terrace, and a rooftop where breakfast is served each morning. Rooms range from compact single rooms to a three-bedroom suite and a two-bedroom penthouse with a balcony and sea view.
