This hotel had a great location, low price and helpful staff. Perhaps it was a bit worn down but it was clean, so I have no issues with that. The walls were pretty thin however, a minaret was very close and made some noise but if you don't mind that I would recommend this hotel.

If this is your first time in Istanbul and you plan on sightseeing-Kaftan Hotel is a nice choice. It is literally 5 minutes walk from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The hotel is located on beautiful small street and is also close to the sea. There are loads of terraces and nice restaurants around. For those who are taken aback... More

his Hotel is maybe the worst in Europe. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS! We payed in advance and arrived after a long trip, wanting to relax. However, when we got to the room the windows were all open and it was very cold. This, we could deal with. However, when we saw the state of the room we were truly... More

The room was tiny and very claustrophobic, there were three large holes in the wall and the shower was surrounded by black mould which caused a massive flood when I used it, the water was at... More

The best thing about this hotel is its location. The walking distance to the Sultanahmet square with all the places of interest and the tram station is around 5 minutes. You can find a lot of restaurants and gift shops just right behind the corner. Despite of that, the hotel is situated in the end of a narrow street so... More

Most things are a pleasant walk away: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Cistern Basilica, Hippodrome, Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace... loads of restaraunts nearby and streets quiet enough to walk on. The sea view rooms also overlook the... More

The hotel staff was extremely helpful and so kind. It just made my stay that much more enjoyable. The room was simple and clean and I was totally happy with that. I don't expect a huge room with beautiful expensive furnishings. Just a clean bed, simple furnishings, and my own bathroom which is exactly what I got. My room was... More
