I had been living in Istanbul long enough to know what great hospitality is, and the staff here are perfect examples of the ever present Turkish willingness to please. My family members came to visit me while I was living in Turkey and I joined them at The Ferman hotel during their stay. With my last minute decision to join... More

Stayed at this hotel for four nights while visiting my brother who was living in Istanbul for a couple of months. The hotel's driver was right on time and picked up the two of us from Ataturk airport. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm smile from Yasemin. Our room was ready (we were a...

I went to Istanbul in early December 2011 and stayed at Ferman Hotel for 3 nights. There isn't any better word to describe this hotel than just SUPERB. The receptionist was really really nice and friendly. Upon arrival we were greeted very very warmly and we were served with tea, turkish delight and some cookies. The hotel room was nice.... More

This cute little hotel is in a great location in Sultanahmet. The staff are friendly (like most Turkish people) and are willing to please. BUT...there is no bar, and no atmosphere. It was deathly quiet when we visited in January. This is an issue, as Sultanahmet as an area is rather dead at night. It's a lively city...just not here!... More

On December 2011 I've spent 5 nights at Ferman Hotel with my girlfriend, and I can say without hesitation that this has been a wonderful experience. The hotel is in such a perfect position (300 meters from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia) that you can easily forget buses, metro or taxis... and count only on your feet; the area... More

I just returned from 11 days in Istanbul, where I had to good fortune to select the Ferman Hotel. I was there with 4 friends. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, including Yasemin and George at the front desk, and Adnan, a porter who also was responsible for the delicious and generous breakfasts. For most of the stay, we... More
