About

Tashkonak Studio Suites

Tashkonak Studio Suites sits in the heart of Sultanahmet, Istanbul's historic peninsula, 0.9 km from the Basilica Cistern. The property is housed in a renovated building that guests consistently describe as clean and well-kept, with rooms that include kitchenettes, sitting areas, and either street or sea views. The atmosphere is notably peaceful for such a central location.

The hotel runs a 24-hour reception, offers luggage storage, and can arrange airport transfers and tours. A paid airport shuttle is available, and parking is on site. Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking the sea, a recurring highlight in guest reviews. The restaurant and vending machines cover meals and snacks beyond breakfast.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Prime Old City location — A five-minute walk takes you to Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia, with the Basilica Cistern under a kilometre away.
  • Terrace breakfast with sea views — Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking the sea, and guests call it a highlight with a good variety of local food.
  • Consistently clean and comfortable — Reviewers repeatedly note immaculate cleanliness and a renovated, well-kept building, contributing to a comfortable stay.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests mention staff going out of their way – arranging tours, offering upgrades, and being always available.
  • Quiet atmosphere — Despite the central location, guests describe the hotel as peaceful and quiet, both in rooms and common areas.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Some distance from the tram — The hotel is not right at a tram stop; one guest noted it is a fair way from the station, so factor in a short walk if using public transport.
  • Value rating is the weaker score — Guests rate value for money at 7.6, lower than other categories, suggesting some may find the price for the class not exceptional.
  • Possible street noise — A couple of reviewers mentioned minor noise issues, likely from the street-facing rooms – though not a major complaint.
  • Breakfast described as 'normal' by some — While the terrace view is praised, one guest found the breakfast itself average, so manage expectations on the spread.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so if you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place.

“This was the third and latest hotel of the group, just near Tashkonak. The staff were extremely pleasant and always ready to help – they arranged tours and even upgraded me. The hotel is very new and the location is excellent: you can walk to Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia in five minutes. Amenities are good too – a very good place in Sultanahmet.”
