The hotel itself has two main things that really stand out: a very central location, right on the…read morebank of the Bosphorus near Galata Bridge and a rooftop bar/restaurant that offers an insane view of this city's main sights. Given the central location, the hotel is quite small and you can feel that it's stretching itself to the limit, comfort-wise. If you can get a room on the 5th or 6th floors, you will get amazing views of the city. The downside is the foot traffic to the rooftop bar, as well as live music on Saturdays that you can hear in your room until midnight. With this in mind, it might be best to get a room on the 5th floor rather than the 6th, to put some distance between you and the sounds of the 80s.

Depending on where your room is in the hotel, you may need ear plugs to keep you from waking up each morning to the Muslim call to prayer. The rooms are small, but clean. Their was a small fridge in the room you could use to store water. They sell bottled water for 1 TL per bottle if you want. The room was also air conditioned. The hotel is located in a historic building, and thus doesn't have an elevator. But, when we checked in they had someone available to help us carry our luggage up to our room. For an extra 25 Euros we were able to arrange an airport pick up and drop off with the hotel. Included in the cost of the room was a lovely breakfast served on the roof top terrace, which has a enclosed area for the colder months. From the roof top you have a great view of the water and Blue Mosque. They also offer a free hot tea service in the late afternoon in the lobby area. The free wifi was very good, and there was also a computer in the lobby area that you could use for free. The service was always friendly and provided helpful advice and great recommendations. My friend was staying in another hotel closer to the Blue Mosque, and she came and joined us a couple of times for breakfast at our hotel for 10 TL. She mentioned that upon her next return to Istanbul she would DEFINITELY stay here vs. returning to her hotel. I couldn't agree with her more. I will definitely return to Hotel Tashkonak should I ever have the pleasure of travelling back to Istanbul in the future.

The location is excellent but in my experience the service can be a bit and a miss. Also cash rates can be quite high - not sure it is worth the incremental premium to be at this hotel unless being in a central location is a must for you. Breakfast is a little disappointing for the caliber of hotel this is gunning for.

This was my first time in Istanbul, and I decided to go with the St. Regis as my previous…read moreexperience with the hotel brand has been fairly positive, as was this trip. It's a fairly walkable area, but it's at the very top of a few hills, so just make sure you're prepared to walk. Once inside the beauty of it and service is just top tier. The rooftop restaurant Spago is amazing, along with the service. The Brassiere downstairs is also great. The rooms are very largely sized, but a few downsides... The shower head is a rainfall head, but the shower itself is so small you're stuck under it and sort of constricted in your movement. It's hard to wash yourself like that, and the bathroom and closet are so big, as is the room that they could've made the shower a bit bigger for sure. The TV in the bathroom also was basically useless, it did not work at all. There's also a few details here and there overlooked (dings, scratches, wood not finished to 100%) but nothing enough for me to really complain about to the hotel directly. I would stay here again if I go back to Istanbul at any point in time, but I would probably break my trip up where half of it is here and the other half at the Four Seasons Bosphorus, not the Sultanahmet one.
