Ferman Hotel  

The terrace view was amazing.

What a nightmare. My room was located in the basement and was very dark with 2 small windows. The cleaning ladies would wake me up every morning around 7, by smashing their vacum cleaners into my door and opening and closing the other doors where they stored towels etc... When they cleaned my room they would take all my clothes that was not in the wardrobe and put it into my luggage, without folding it so that everything was wrinkled. So I asked the receptionist for an iron, but she never brought it to me. I also asked to be woken up in the morning, but the receptionist did not call me! The breakfast was mediocre, with bad coffee. The birds feed from the buffet as well. One of them ate my cereal while I was getting some tea. The rim of the milk pot was dirty - there was old milk on it which nobody seemed to clean. I have photos of all this, but don't see the way to upload them. Overall, a horrible hotel. They did try to make it up by offering me a free taxi ride to the airport, but this does not solve the basic issues of this hotel.

Location as perfect for the historic district . Hotel was immaculately clean and the breakfast was good . We stayed 7 nights there, with exception of one night when we took a side trip to Bucharist. Hotel arranged for transportation to airport which was dependable.

Noise from nearby train. Stops running at night which is good but starts up rather early. After first night, used ear plugs so it was ok

Having stayed before and being very satisfied last time, gave it another go. Was not disappointed. Due to rain however breakfast was in the basement not on the roof.

Could not get the wi - fi going. (worked fine elsewhere)

Very comfortable hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. excilant view one side Marmara Sea, and the other one is the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. This Hotel is a good value for money. The only thing need to improve was breakfast buffet

Wonderful location, wonderful hotel and very helpful staff. We love the rooftop open 24 hours with the beautiful view of the Blue Mask and Hagia Sophia.

It is right off the railroad and the rooms that are facing the rail are quite noisy. Do not get a room facing the rail if you have trouble sleeping. We had a big suite facing the railroad which was noisy. But we also could see the Marmara sea which was very beautiful. The houses near the railroad look so poor and half destroyed by the time. At the same time, those contrasts had added some spice to our stay.

The staff was superb!! I´ve ben in more expensive hotels where you get just a cold face. These kids are outstanding !! The location is really good.

The size of the rooms, the design of both the hotel and the rooms, the location, the value for money, the friendliness of the staff.

The fact that there were train tracks running behind it, though it was surprisingly quiet at night.

- Price/Quality rate. - Location - really just 5 minutes of slow walk to Sultanahmet square and Blue Mosque, about 7-10 min slow walk to Hagya Sofia. - Gorgeous views from King's room and breakfast terrace. - Spacious room & balcony with magnificent view of Marmara sea, Bosphorus and Golden Horn. - king-size bed and large (queen size) folding sofa with excellent mattresses. - tea set to boil water and take tea right in the room. Hotel offers different tea (black, green, olive, herbal) in pouches as a beau geste. The first thing a traveller can do upon checking-in is to make a refreshing tea and enjoy it sitting at the balcony. - very friendly and quick to respond personnel.

- Railway just under the hotel windows. - Hotel restaurant provides only breakfast. To have a 3 course-dinner one should go out which is not always comfortable, particularly after the long-day walking. - The transparent glass table with sharp angles in King's room. For people with weak sight it's a mere danger. My family members bumped into the angles a few times getting the bruises.

The friendly staff and the intrst they took in making recommendations for dinner, sightseeing, etc.

The location of the hotel, right in the heart of Sultanahmet, was excellent, while the view of the Blue Mosque and the Sea of Marmara from the rooftop terrace was superb. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable and clean.

staff friendly and helpful. Rooms large and comfortable. Bowl of fruit in room a nice touch

I could not convince staff that the "hot" water was not in fact hot. Even when they felt the tepid water they denied it was not hot. This happened for three days.

First of all, I would like to mention once again the politeness of staff who really take care of you as a guest of their hotel. Cozy atmoshphere of the hotel make you feel at home.
