Hotel Tashkonak, Istanbul, Turkey

Nice, quiet, neighborly neighborhood, only five minutes' walk from the Hippodrome and Sultanahmet: that's the situation of Istanbul's Hotel Tashkonak.

Nice people at the hotel, too. Need information on what to see and do in Istanbul? They know, and they'll help.

Just off the Ottoman-style lobby/lounge is a pretty little "secret garden" terrace for taking the sun or sipping a drink on sunny afternoons or for catching the cool of evening.

Let me tell you, it's magical to sit here in the sun sipping a glass of fresh Turkish tea in the midst of this teeming, bustling city, and all you hear is birdsong!

(On my last visit, a mother dove had taken up residence in one of the geranium planters, had made a nest, and hatched several young ones!)

The Hotel Tashkonak's 30 rooms all have private bathrooms with shower and hair dryer, air conditioning, minibar, TV, safe deposit box, and direct-dial telephones. Three of the rooms have small balconies, and several rooms have private safes for your valuables.

Several rooms are set up for families, either connecting rooms or larger rooms capable of sleeping four or five people comfortably.

There's free Wifi Internet throughout the hotel, so if you've got your laptop, you can look at your photos, check your email or plan the rest of your Turkey adventure while sitting in the garden listening to the birds!

Little Tomurcuk Sokak is a side street with almost no traffic, so it's blissfully quiet, and it's a real Turkish neighborhood with kids playing in the street, local residents wandering by, and a nice village-in-the-city ambience.

If you plan to stay at the Tashkonak for four or more nights, they'll arrange a free transfer from Atatürk Airport, or a discounted transfer from Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

When you contact the Hotel Tashkonak for room rates and availability, please mention TTP. Here's why.
