Reviews and Ratings
I had a decent stay, with the hotel located in a quiet area close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The cleanliness of the hotel was commendable, and I enjoyed the breakfast with a view of the Bosphorus. However, the service was lacking in some aspects, and the room was quite dated and had several maintenance issues that were not addressed. Overall, while it's not the ideal choice, the location and cleanliness make it somewhat worthwhile.
Our holiday in Istanbul was simply wonderful. The hotel is perfectly situated close to major attractions and offered stunning views of the Blue Mosque from the rooftop restaurant. The staff was genuinely helpful, though I did encounter issues with the room furniture and cleanliness. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I would gladly return for the beautiful views and convenient location.
I had a wonderful experience at the Ferman Sultan, with warm and welcoming staff that made our stay enjoyable. The rooftop breakfast with stunning views was a highlight, and I particularly appreciated the helpful recommendations for exploring the area. While the rooms were quite small, they were clean and cozy, and the location could not be better, with major attractions within walking distance. However, some aspects like the bathroom could use upgrades, and the towels appeared a bit worn out.
I had a very different experience at this hotel than I expected, primarily due to its confusing name and some serious maintenance issues. While the location is excellent, being close to all the main attractions, the room left much to be desired, lacking basic amenities and proper lighting. The service, though friendly, did not meet my expectations, and I found the breakfast experience quite lacking.
