Kaftan Hotel

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.

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.

Well located small hotel. Nice terrace with free tea for guests. Good breakfast on the top floor with a beautiful seaside view. Very nice staff! This hotel is good as a base for a few days sightseeing.

My friends and I recently had an amazing experience during our stay at this wonderful hotel in Istanbul. From the beginning, the hospitality and services exceeded our expectations, making our trip truly memorable. The hotel staff deserves a special mention for their friendly and cooperative nature. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. It felt like we were among friends who genuinely cared about our experience. Our accommodation, whether it was the rooms or apartments, was not only well-furnished but also provided a cozy retreat after our day of exploring the city. What made our stay even more enjoyable was the hotel's perfect location. It was within walking distance to some of Istanbul's most famous landmarks – Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Sultanahmet Square, making our sightseeing adventures incredibly convenient. A highlight of our mornings was the delightful breakfast experience. The hotel not only served delicious breakfast options but also provided a dining area with a breathtaking view of the Bosporus Sea. It was the perfect way to kickstart our days, combining culinary pleasure with a scenic backdrop.

We were there with a large group of friends, some rooms were superior to others as far as space, however, we weren't spending a lot of time in our rooms so it was okay. Beds were comfy and showers were good. The breakfast was exceptional and the view while you were eating made it even better. We sat up there in the evenings to watch the sunset and the boats, there is also a nice little side yard with tea & coffee, although there were often smokers out there so not as pleasant. The location close to all the 'big' sights made it easy to walk everywhere and there were plenty of options for dinner in the neighbourhood. The hotel arranged airport shuttles for us as well. The manager and staff were always helpful and friendly!
