Guest Reviews
- Dzmitry (10/5): -
- Várnagy (10/5): Kiváló szállás, jó helyen, szép környezetben, kedves személyzettel. - Minden rendben volt, az ott dolgozók nagyon kedvesek és segítőkészek voltak😊
- Farida (10/5): -
- Özgür (5/5): Gute Lage aber keine Empfehlung für Familien - Gute Lage. Fußläufig zu Sultanahmet Moschee und Bahn Haltestellen Zimmer sind wirklich klein und hellhörig. Ausstattung sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Fugen teilweise schwarz.
- NEZZAR (3/5): - Rien. Hôtel vieux, chambre non propre, ne correspond pas à un hôtel 3 étoiles. Manque équipement (bouilloire, fer a repasser, rangement, ...). Odeur cigarette dans la chambre matin et soir. Nous avons quitter l'hôtel une nuit plutôt car inadmissible.
- jacek (8/5): -
- Umit (10/5): - Kahvaltı güzeldi özellikle omlet ve çay. Resepsiyonda çok cana yakindi. Hersey için teşekkürler...
- Dawid (9/5): Perfectly acceptable for what you'd expect in this area - It was great value for money and slightly exceeded expectations. After all, it's a hotel in a historic area of Istanbul - it's not going to be a perfect setup. It was clean enough, bed was comfortable, the location in Sultanahmet was perfect for my needs. Good breakfast included as well. These are more notes than things I didn't like, as they didn't bother me much. While it was clean enough for my liking, it could've been a bit cleaner without much effort. There were some smaller old stains on the bedding and I did spot a couple of hair. A minor downside about the provided shower gels & shampoos - while nice that there were tiny bottles that were reused rather than thrown out, they didn't look very appealing so I skipped using them. I think especially the shampoo bottle had shampoo gunk built up around the cap and the liquids were really thick. I skipped using these and just used the provided soap which was packed for single-use. The room was really small as others noticed, but that wasn't an issue for me - I'm only there to sleep, but if you're the person who hangs around there a lot or booking for two people, it's definitely tiny.
- Mariia (8/5): Общее впечатление от отеля- позитивное. Понимаю, что мы платили за месторасположение. Отель могу рекомендовать, критерию - Месторасположение было шикарное, пешком до Голубой мечети 5 минут.
Безумно приветливый персонал.
В номерах было тепло, даже в конце декабря. Вода в душе была без перебоя.
Уборка номеров.
Панорамный вид во время завтрака-очень красиво.
Терраса-уютная и милые кошечки там живут. Можно пить чай в любом количестве.
Уровень шума-низкий, с улицы звуки не мешали спать и внутри отеля только один раз слышала соседей-когда заехала большая компания итальянцев. Самое большое негодование вызвали дырки на постельном белье.
Уборка в номерах была, но поверхностная, по углам в комнате и ванной было пыльно.
При заезде в ванной были полупустые баночки с гелем для душа и шампунем, но дали новые когда попросили.
Не поняла почему хвалят в отзывах завтрак-было одно и тоже каждое утро, вау эффекта не было, но голодным не уйдете. Рекомендую отелю подавать симиты на завтрак-мы даже утром бегали перед завтраком на площадь, чтоб купить себе свежие симиты.
- miruna (10/5): -
- Nishat (10/5): -
- Anca (10/5): Great value; great view breakfast area! - A nice small hotel in the heart of the old town in Istanbul The pictures online should be more explicit- I enjoyed my room with big windows and sea view and double room;even the bath has a window!
- Emanuela Cristina (10/5): O experiență frumoasă si relaxantă! - Totul, locul, pozitia lui, atmosfera foarte relaxanta si primitoare, personal amabil si discret in acelasi timp, vederea superba din restaurant… Nu am nimic de adaugat
- Wolfram (7/5): good value for the money - The location is perfect—a very short walk to the Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, German Fountain, and the Market.
- Claudio Luca (8/5): -
- Sidrah (3/5): -
- Ibrahim (7/5): Emplacement idéal à Istanbul - Emplacement idéal proche des mosquées. Zone très touristique où l'on trouve beaucoup d'endroits pour se restaurer. Le bruit la nuit
- Tomaz (9/5): -
- Adriano (7/5): -
- Michael (7/5): -
- Brindusoiu Tania (9/5): -
- Marina (7/5): Not bad, but we had a better hotel in Istanbul - The staff was super helpful, could be approached any time and everyone spoke either English or Russian. Location is very good, we had a sea view in our both rooms, and the Blue mosque was just around the corner. Breakfast was so generous, the team at the terrace did a great job every morning.
Нам очень понравился персонал, это был наш второй отель в Стамбуле, и было с чем сравнивать. На стойке регистрации нас всё детально рассказали, помогали с чемоданами, даже заселили на час раньше официального времени заселения. Все говорили или на хорошем английском или на русском (на террасе с завтраками). Отличное расположение (с комнатами, из которых видно море, и Голубой мечетью прямо за углом). Вкусные и разнообразные завтраки. Rooms were really tiny, beds and doors squeaky, lighting was weirdly managed, the fridge in our room kept waking me up through the night.
Комнаты очень маленькие, сложно было там что-то делать вдвоем, почти не развернуться. Так и не разобрались, как выключать свет, пришлось из одной лампы просто выкрутить лампочку. Холодильник будил меня каждую ночь. Кровати и двери в ванную скрипели жутко, мы будили друг друга всю ночь.
- FRANCISCO (2/5): EN LA VIDA VOLVERIA A ESE HOTEL - Nada Habitaciones pequenas , viejas y sucias. En el bano no entraban ni dos personas, habia que usarlo por turnos
Desauyuno muy escaso que no se parece en nada a las fotografia. No habia fruta, ni fiambre, ni bolleria.
eL CAFE no era ni de cafetera
- luraghi (10/5): - La posizione . Comodissima. Vicino a tutte le comodità. Tramvai per arrivare al ponte di galata da dove partono i tour o i traghetti La mia stanza.
- Romuald (10/5): - персонал, чистота, расположение, вид из окна ресторана все было норм в соответствии с моими ожиданиями. у отеля есть веранда с чаем и кофе. я узнал о ней случайно. я бы сделал правило, чтобы персонал рассказывал о ней всем) только это добавил бы
- Viviana Monchietti (10/5): HERMOSA ESTAMBUL - Todo la amabilidad del personal, la atención, el desayuno, todo Nada
- AndreyPro (8/5): - Расположение и веранда в т.ч. с выходом на открытый балкон (вид на Босфор и Кадыкёй) Очень шумная локация, не подойдет для чуткого сна
- Nadja (6/5): War ok und auszuhalten - Zentralnah , unkomplizierter Aufenthalt
Nettes Personal ,
Sprache nur englisch, Frühstück einfach und immer das selbe , wenig Auswahl , oft vom Vortag die Reste
Familienzimmer im Keller , anders erwartet
- Adrian (10/5): -
- Péter (10/5): -
- Janice (9/5): -
- Bénédicte (9/5): Excellent emplacement, très bon rapport qualité/prix - Accueil chaleureux, belle vue sur mer, chambres confortables, petit déjeuner copieux et varié !
Proche de Sainte Sophie , charmant quartier.
- Samia (9/5): Bel hôtel, je recommande car très bien situé - Propreté de l'hôtel
L'accueil
Proximité des sites Salle de bain petite, pas de tablette pour poser les affaires de toilette.
Sinon rien à signaler
- Jorge (8/5): Adecuado (puede ser más cómodo con simples mejoras) - Existe equilibrio entre calidad y precio.
Muy buena ubicación. Dormitorio con espacio muy reducido.
Sugiero contar con repisas o similar para dejar efectos oersonales el baño y en el pequeño closet.
- Madalina Silviana (7/5): -
- Dumitru (10/5): Cute traditional hotel close to Hagia Sophia mosque - It is located in Sultanahmet, a short walk from
Hagia Sophia. I enjoyed their breakfast and the breakfast room overlooking the Bosphorus. The staff were very nice and helpful! The hotel is very clean too. For what I paid I am happy with everything.
- Charlie (8/5): -
- Horst (7/5): Es war spitze - Frühstück war gut. Personal in Ordnung Zimmer könnten etwas größer sein
- Aleksei (8/5): - Прекрасное расположение, отзывчивый персонал, выше всяких похвал завтрак. -
- Veronika (8/5): - Отличное расположение. Прекрасные и сытные завтраки с видом на море. На веранде внизу в любое время можно посидеть и выпить чай или кофе бесплатно. Есть лифт. Хороший персонал. Номера маленькие и простые. Не очень удобные кровати . Но так как отель расположен в старом городе, то за такую невысокую цену конечно будут небольшие недостатки . Мы были к ним готовы.
- Patricia (7/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): -
- irina (10/5): -
- Soheila (8/5): Great locations - Great location, walking distance to major attractions , clean Breakfast could be better with more options
- Natallia (10/5): -
- Thor (9/5): -
- Петракова (9/5): I will recommend this hotel to my friends and when I’ll visit Istanbul again I - 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 The rooms are small and you can hear your neighbors. The same thing for breakfast.
- Erol (8/5): - Très bel emplacement
- Edwin (7/5): Modest well - Good location
Fairly quiet
Views from breakfast room Hotel entrance is dangerous.
Coffee awful
Staff making no effort.
- Elena (2/5): - stanza grande e spaziosa, buona colazione dolce e salata, sala colazioni con vista sul Bosforo, personale gentile. La posizione è ottima, molto vicino alla piazza principale di Sultanahmet. pulizia pessima, peli e capelli ovunque, anche sui letti e in bagno, camera familiare interrata claustrofobica con una finestra minuscola a bocca di lupo (cosa non specificata nella descrizione della camera) che affacciava su un corridoio esterno denominato garden dove si sentivano chiacchierare le persone fino alle tre del mattino. Arredamento vecchio e fatiscente. Frigo sporco con presenza di peli al suo interno. La porta della stanza rimane aperta e si chiude solo a chiave. Stanze non insonorizzate con rumore proveniente dalle altre camere. Inoltre il saliscendi della doccia era rotto.
- Erol (7/5): - Très bon emplacement
- Maja (8/5): Fabelhafte Lage mit schöner Aussicht - Die Lage des Hotels ist ideal, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Große Auswahl an Restaurants in der Nähe vom Hotel. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer könnte größer sein, und das Badezimmer ist sehr klein.
- Danjela (10/5): -
- Krisztina CSATLOS (10/5): - The hotel's location is perfect. For breakfast a wide choice of meals is provided. At reception we could arrange a lot of programmes. I highly recommend this hotel. Nothing
- elisa (6/5): -
- Ball (8/5): Great location. Clean room. Friendly helpful staff. - 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. Get a better coffee machine in breakfast room.
- Erol (9/5): - Très bon accueil, très bon petit déjeuner, chambre impeccable et bonne literie
Emplacement idéal
- Samat (3/5): -
- Enrica (7/5): - Bellissima la sala panoramica per la colazione.
- Umka (5/5): - My experience staying at this hotel was mixed. The room was very small, and the bathroom also, which caused some discomfort. The breakfasts were sparse and not very varied. Additionally, there were trash bins nearby, which made it quite noisy, especially when the garbage trucks came to collect. On the last day of my stay, renovations began in the hotel, adding more noise and inconvenience. However, I would like to note that the staff was very polite and friendly, which somewhat alleviated the negative moments. Overall, if price and location are important - the location to the old city center is actually convenient — you might consider this hotel, but it's important to be aware of its drawbacks.
- Belén (8/5): Hotel recomendable - El personal es adorable. La ubicación inmejorable, a dos pasos de todo lo importante de visitar. El desayuno no me gustó mucho. La habitación era cómoda, un poco pequeña, lo peor que el armario es inexistente, porque no tiene baldas y es muy pequeño para colgar cosas.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nous étions très satisfaits surtout dréception des deux jeunes hommes à la réception, ils étaient serviables et gentils.
- Jose (8/5): - Buenísima ubicación e increíbles vistas durante el desayuno. La habitación parecía más grande de lo que realmente luego fue cuando llegamos, aún así era cómoda y estaba bien para el precio. El desayuno repetitivo si pasas varios días.

- Erich (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): -
- Dominique (6/5): Good not great - Very friendly staff!! Great location !! Breakfast was good. The beds were not very good and the view wasn’t great (but you can see the sea which is nice).
- jjsur (10/5): - Muy buena la atención nosotros hablamos solo español, se esforzaron a cada consulta para que entendiésemos lo que nos decían No tenemos nada que decir
- Irina (9/5): -
- Aimee (8/5): Comfortable stay in an excellent location - The location is excellent in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes walk to the mosques. Room was comfortable. Staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was great. Nothing.
- Monique (10/5): -
- Ola (7/5): - Location, view from Restaurant, the room with view to sea Horrible breakfast, mixed old things with new, everyday were same breakfast…
- Wellington (10/5): - Localização excelente!!
- Ion (9/5): Will consider for the future. - Excellent location, quiet neighborhood, professional and friendly staff. N/A
- Cannavacciuolo (10/5): - Posizione strategica, nel centro storico vicino alla moschea blu e Santa Sofia 4 minuti a piedi).
Staff gentilissimo e sempre disponibile e camere pulitissime.
Terrazza (chiusa) per colazione splendida con vista mozzafiato. Colazione inclusa nell'offerta abbondante, buona e varia.
Consiglio vivamente
- Veronika (10/5): - Közelben található látnivalók, elhelyezkedése nagyon jó, kedves, segítőkész alkalmazottak
- Elke (8/5): - Nicht weit zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten
Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal
Auf der hinteren Terrasse immer Wasser und Kaffee. Besonders schönes Altstadtviertel
Ach ja, und der tolle Frühstücksraum mit Blick über den Bosporus- ich würde es wieder buchen Zimmer sehr klein aber für unseren 3-Tage-Istanbultripp völlig ausreichend
- ALEXIA (7/5): Buon rapporto qualità prezzo - Ho apprezzato molto l’accoglienza e la disponibilità del personale
- Francesco (7/5): -
- Andrew (6/5): Excellent location and decent price for peak season - A decent hotel in a perfect location. Breakfast provided was amazing with excellent views. Rooms on the smaller side with very loud noises from people talking and laughing on the street at all hours. Bed a little uncomfortable.
- Barbra (10/5): - El chico de la recepción de la noche fue super amable, las habitaciones son pequeñas pero super cómodas.
El desayunador en la terraza sin duda tiene una vista panorámica hermosa, la ubicación es perfecta. Nos ayudaron con la reserva de taxi al aeropuerto.
- Марина (9/5): - Отдыхали в июне 2025года. Месторасположение отличное (до площади Султанахмет приблизительно 250м, все достопримечательности в шаговой доступности), персонал говорит на русском языке, завтраки хорошие. Номера небольшие, максимум для 2 взрослых человек. Требуется косметический ремонт, но т.к. мы в номере находились только ночью, нам было неважно. Можно посидеть на 4 этаже ночью с прекрасным видом на Босфор, так же есть место для курения в саду. Цена-качество на 4+ Можно сделать косметический ремонт
- Dossena (5/5): - Bellissima terrazza per la colazione La camera family è nel sotterraneo senza ascensore. Scomodo per i bagagli.
La linea wifi poco potente non ha aiutato.
- Elena U. (8/5): -
- lorena (7/5): Si mejoran en un par de aspecto sería excelente, la ubicación le da el plus. - La ubicación excelente zona Sultanamed, buen trato del personal La red de wifi era muy mala, nos quedábamos sin internet. Una de las habitaciones que rentamos no funcionaba el TV ni la frigobar , nos ofrecieron al otro día cambiarnos.
El desayuno podría ser un poco más variado, no había leche caliente por ejemplo tampoco el edulcorante solo azúcar.
- Ester (8/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per chi cerca una breve vacanza in centro. - Personale della reception veramente cordiale, hotel a due passi dal centro. Buona la pulizia Stanze molto piccole.
- Francesco (7/5): -
- Ramar (10/5): Very nice and conmortable + hotel is very near to tourist spots in sultanahmet. - Location None
- Nicole (8/5): -
- Balazs P. (7/5): - Cheap option in Sultanahmet, great location close to the most important spots. Breakfast was nice, good selection, fresh food. 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.
- GYÖRGYNÉ (10/5): -
- Sabine (9/5): Pár napos ott tartózkodásra teljesen jó. - Nagyon jó helyen van! A reggeli jó volt.
A személyzet kedves és segítőkész. A repülők csak este indult, de ott maradhatunk a szállodában, WC használattal és ingyen kávét/ teát is kaptunk, míg a taxi nem jött. Ez nagyon kedves volt.
- Hans (7/5): -
- Paola (10/5): - Hotel situato nella città vecchia a pochissimi passi da tutte le principali attrazioni.
Lo staff alla reception molto gentile. Il bagno della ns camera no.307 era piuttosto piccolo. Meno male che io e mia sorella siamo piccole di statura e piuttosto magre, altrimenti sarebbe stato un bel problema
- Daria (10/5): -
- Carrick (9/5): Met my expectations - Excellent breakfast
Great location
Helpful and friendly staff No cupboard space
- miriam (8/5): - Ottima posizione, personale gentile ed disponibile
