Tucked away in the historic heart of Istanbul, just a short walk from Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, this hotel welcomes guests looking to experience genuine Turkish hospitality. Boasting a traditional exterior, Kaftan Hotel features 20 comfortably furnished guest rooms. Start the day with breakfast in bed. While you decide which attraction to visit first, the attentive staff can prepare packed lunches and exchange money for you. The Kaftan also includes a beautiful rooftop terrace. Marvel at stunning views of the Marmara Sea while sipping a drink or enjoying a small snack. If you prefer, you can also order in room service and check your mails via free wireless internet. With the reception open all day long you are ensured a truly hassle-free stay.
Nice quiet neighbourhood. Visited with 3 friends and got the 4 bed basement room. Polite and helpful staff. Breakfast is not grand but for the price and location totally acceptable, limited but nicely cooked and stocked. Only downside was that the sofa bed was not set up with no sheets etc, this was because housekeeping had not been. Following this day, this was sorted and room cleaned daily. The shower room floor was tilted so water wouldn't go down the drain. Overall, for the price, nice cosy clean place for a few friends to stay, wouldn't recommend for families.

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.
