    The rooms are small and you can hear your neighbors. The same thing for breakfast.

    The location is amazing, everything is super close so as T1 line, so it’s no problem. But the most amazing part is staff! They are so thoughtful and kind and will help you with anything. You have variety of options for breakfast but it’s the same every day

    Get a better coffee machine in breakfast room.

    Kaftan hotel was in a fabulous location to all the sites you want to visit. Staff were friendly and very helpful. As a solo traveller I felt very safe. Would only suggest that there be a kettle with some tea in the room. I would definitely stay there again.

    Bed very uncomfy, squeaked with every tiny movement. Room isolation bad, could hear every car and stroller on the street (and they empty the trash bins at midnight....) and could smell every smoker in front of the hotel.

    Cheap option in Sultanahmet, great location close to the most important spots. Breakfast was nice, good selection, fresh food.

    There is cats around everywhere, than could be wonderful for cats lovers, a bit to smelly for me, as I am allergic to a cats. People love them here.

    Location couldn’t be better, you can see the Bósforo while having your breakfast in a beautiful dining room! It’s like a living picture. The Blue Mosque is a walking distance. There are restaurants and plenty shops near by.

    Cleaning was okay but could be better Some of the Facilities need a renewal such as the toilet we had. Also the rooms were quite narrow

    Kind staff, rich breakfast with both European flavours but also Turkish choices. The room was hot in the right temperature all day and there was hot water to shower

    The room was suitable for my need, a one night stay. The room space is very small & the wardrobe is tiny. so I wouldn't recommend it for your holiday. I'm not sure about the other types of rooms.

    The breakfast view was really nice. The location is great.

    Bed was too small, I'm 178 cm and 80kg and I didn't fit in the bed. Very noisy in the reception which made the rooms noisy on the ground floor. Breakfast food was not very good, low variety.

    Garden is used as smoking place, if the door is left open the smoke is everywhere, I was travelling with kids so it wasnt helpful. They should make it a rule to keep the door closed at all times. Also if you are given a room in the basement the window opens up in the garden which wont help if you dont like cig8 smell. They should change the smoking place to roof top instead so that it wont disturb anyone plus the clean fresh air to be enjoyed by others who have their windows facing the garden.

    Breakfast - Buffet is amazing - fresh fruits, cereal , juices, sausages etc Location - excellent location which is only few yards away from Sultanahmat square, just walk to every major tourist attraction, what an awesome way to reduce stress of travel in the holiday destination.

    It’s definitely not an upscaled hotel, but it’s what you get for the price paid.

    The location was good and the price paid was fair. The breakfast was delicious, healthy with variety of home cooked meals.

    The room was a double with twin beds. The beds were a little narrow but acceptable. There was aircon, a TV and a fridge. There was a nice attached bathroom. We were next to the lift but didn't notice any noise. The buffet breakfast was good. A range of savoury dishes plus fresh fruit and pastries. The breakfast room is pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is good for restaurants and shops. It is a 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and another two minutes to the Sultanahmet tram stop, the Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi Palace. A lively area. If you don't mind steeply sloping streets you can cut across the Sultanahmet area on foot and go to Eminönü to catch ferries and day cruises. Trams from Sultanahmet stop will take you to the Taksim Square side of Istanbul, stopping near the Museum of Modern Art.
