A quiet, cozy hotel. Simple breakfasts on the terrace with stunning views of the sea and surrounding landmarks. For the price, we were very happy with our stay.

Amazing stay! The hotel is just a short walk to the main attractions like the Blue Mosque. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and came with a beautiful view. The staff were all friendly and helpful—special thanks to Selçuk for going above and beyond to make our stay even better. Highly recommend this hotel.

5 minutes walk away from the blue mosque. Very friendly staff, ready to help you and give the right directions for a great stay in Istanbul. Very clean rooms. Thank you all. Definitely if I come back again I would come back here.

My second time with Ferman Hotel. Love the location, friendly and helpful hotel staff, the stunning view on the rooftop, as well as the breakfast spread.. Will definitely come again in future.
Special mention to a very young staff Hilmi for being so helpful and with polite manner. Keep it up!

Booked a city view family room three months in advance and emailed the hotel to ask for a higher floor. Checked in at 3pm that day, only assigned to the first floor, no view, and refused to change. Terrible, not recommended.

Don't go to the Turkish bath recommended by the front desk (it's not the biggest one, it's a small one they cooperate with). The management is messy and there is a mixed bath for men and women. There will be men breaking into the women's bathroom. It's scary.
26.09.2024
The front desk was very kind and gave me some recommendations for sightseeing. The room was comfortable. It's convenient because you can walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There are also many restaurants nearby. I'd like to stay here again if I come here again.

Today is our last day at Ferman hotel. We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay from the day we arrived until the day we left. I would like to thank the hotel staff and management for their sincere attention, especially in the evening, I would like to thank my brother Furkan, who did not fail to serve us with the magnificent terrace view.

Thank you for the best service we have ever witnessed in Istanbul. I came here for a good meal from Kazakhstan with my friends, but also got a very good emotions. Kurban is very intelligent and welcoming person, all the staff was friendly and polite. Thank you!!

COME DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY! Super fun place if you're looking for a sparklers-DJ-dancing-on-a-rooftop vibe. We went late night for some drinks and caught a PARTY instead. If nightclubs are your scene, there's no better way to do it than here because you also have the best view of the blue mosque.

It was a fantastic experience with wonderful hospitality! We ordered drinks and food, and afterward, they generously brought us tea and some sweets on the house. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was delicious. if I visit Istanbul again, I’d definitely come back here. Also, such an amazing view.

I can only give all the praise for the Hotel and the employees. The hotel is in a great location where everything is available to you. From the moment we arrived, the employees welcomed us very warmly and helped us with our luggage. They were happy to help us with any information we needed. The rooms are tidy and are cleaned every morning. I even received a gift for my birthday that was waiting for me in the room to my wonderful surprise. My rating is 10. All recommendations from the bottom of my heart. I can very happily recommend this hotel. Thank you and see you next time. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
