The hotel is perfectly located and within walking distance to most main attractions. The area is safe for solo female travelers, and the hotel is surrounded by multiple restaurant options. The staff's friendliness, guidance, and ability to accommodate requests exceeded all expectations.

Came here with my father to show him around Istanbul. The hotel itself was clean and nicely presented and the staff are great and always ready to help. It's a 5 or so minute walk to sultanahmet and hagia Sofia so you can easily plan your day without worrying about timing and the T1 tramline isn't very far. They do have breakfast and it's a variety of foods to suit anyone's needs. Great for those wanting something close to the main attractions of the city.

This was the worst hotel , I have ever been to in my entire life in every aspect. After I reached the hotel and the receptionist took my passport, he surprised me that I can't have my room as it is not ready and won't be ready until the end of the day. I went to get another hotel, he shifted his words and said he has a room ready in the basement but I have to call the website to cancel it. The website agreed to cancel the reservation but now the receptionist changed his mind. When I went to speak to him to accept what the website, I was verbally harassed with bad words. I thought at this point it is completely unsafe to stay in the hotel as he changes his promises, manipulative, haressor and above all didn't give me my room but took the money with guaranteed no cancelation.

This a nice budget hotel, close to the waterfront as well as Sultanahmet etc. Good breakfast. Friendly service. The local Masjid is the oldest in Istanbul. To view sunrise or swim in the Marmara sea, it’s 5-6 minutes walk. Lots of eating place around and a ethnic goods bazaar close by.

A perfect location in the center of the old city, wonderful people at the location. They helped us with everything we needed. Rooms are rather small, but clean. At breakfast i was surprised to find no yoghurt. All in all, breakfast needs an update.

My stay here was very pleasant. I stayed here for a few nights and enjoyed all of it. It’s very clean, staff is very kind. Breakfast is ok, nothing special, but still good. Top location, as it’s right in the centre of Old Istanbul. It’s a good and affordable option that I do recommend.

I stayed at kaftan hotel for one night last weekend. The stay was spectacular to say the least. I'm used to staying at another hotel close by when I go to Istanbul, but luckily this time my hotel was fully booked, and the name of Kaftan hotel came out. The room size is suitable for a single person. It is nicely decorated, spotlessly clean. The location is very good, a 3 minute walk to Sultan Ahmet mosque (the blue mosque). The internet speed is excellent. The breakfast buffet offers fresh food and lots of varieties, and the breakfast hall is very cozy and overlooks the Boshphorus. The price was very cheap. The staff , especially Mr. Aydin at the reception was very friendly. All in all, highly recommended.
