My stay at Hotel Tashkonak was a mix of good and challenging experiences. The staff's hospitality was excellent, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived, but the room itself was quite small, making it a bit cramped. I really enjoyed the amazing views from the terrace, especially of the Blue Mosque, and the location was perfect for exploring Istanbul. However, the lack of blankets during the summer was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, I appreciated the cozy atmosphere and the excellent breakfast choices.

I had a lovely week at Hotel Tashkonak, where I enjoyed comfortable accommodations and a delicious Turkish breakfast. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
