Guest Reviews

• Serap (4/5): - Konum çok güzel personel ilgili ancak otel çok eski ve kokuyordu havlularda da leke vardı
• Cindy (6/5): - It was in a good area near all the touristy places and historical. The hotel it self was ok needs maintenance but for the price and area it was ok
• Naveed (10/5): Excellent service and location - Excellent service and comfort level. Near to all major landmarks.
• Rachel (10/5): Super sejour bien situé - Sejour tres agreable L'hotel est simple mais les chambres sont bien equipees, plutot spacieuses et propre. L'emplacement à 5min a pied de la mosquee est un plus. Large choix au petit dejeuner. 2 arrets de Tramway proche. Plusieurs resto autour. Le personnel a été chaleureux et bienveillant. Le spa en partenariat avec l'hotel est super. Il faudrait juste dire aux clients d'arreter le bruit dans la salle commune aprés 22h.
• Mashkoor (10/5): - Very good
• Sukru (8/5): - Güler Yüzlü Karşıladılar.Ancak Temizliğe Biraz Daha Dikkat Edilebilir
• Sid (10/5): - Very friendly staff, nice accommodation. Adequate to our needs. Thanks all staff specially reception staff. Keep up the good work 👏
• SOUHAIL (10/5): - Staff is so friendly
• Umar (10/5): - Friendly staff clean amenities, best of all you get to control your own climate control with some hotels don’t give you the controls of.
• Ferenc (10/5): 2 days transit visit - This hotel is a gem, a very high value for money - rooms are small, but still functional, great location, nice and tidy, room even comes with breakfast - simple but wide selection of food, coffee & tea. Friendly owner and sfaff. Perfect for transit or a few days visit.
• FATHEN (6/5): - Apart from an unpleasant employee, not polite, and the room opposite the kitchen making it very noisy for sleep it was very complicated, the location of the hotel is very well located.
• Patricio (8/5): - I like the place nice area
• Carlos (8/5): Conveniently located hotel - Well located hotel made it easy to walk to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, and much more. Room was ground floor, subject to street noise. Ensuite bath was clean, but had plumbing isse that was not resolved during my stay (constant leak in toilet). Breakfast was filling and tasty - including items not normally considered breakfast foods (salad?) Room lights needed attention by electrician - flickering occasionally.
• José María (10/5): - Viajamos mi esposo y yo, la atención por parte del personal fue de lo más destacado. La verdad que da gusto ir a hoteles así. El lugar está muy bien ubicado, se puede conocer bastante a pie. Tuvimos unos inconvenientes con los taxis, pero no tienen nada que ver con el hotel.
• Nekel (10/5): - Fantastic location easy walking distance to the 2 big mosques, Grand Bazaar, the T1 tram line & many others. I’ll definitely consider staying here again if I return to Istanbul.
• Høsna (8/5): - Nice and helpfull staff. Simple and clean breakfast.
• Shakeela (10/5): - Our stay at Ala sofia was great, staff were very friendly and rooms were cleaned daily I would definitely go back
• Fouad (10/5): Super hôtel - Séjours très agréable. L'hotel est proche de tout les lieux touristiques a visiter. La chambre et L'hôtel étaient très propres. Petite déjeuner copieux avec thé a volonté toute la journée.
• ALEXEY (8/5): Компактный отель в историческом центре - Останавливались в отеле на 4 ночи. Отель расположен в 5 минутах ходьбы от площади Султанахмет, при этом в тихом районе.Отель не большой, номер тоже не большой, но есть все необходимое: сейф, мини холодильник, чайник, чайные принадлежности, бутилированная вода, туалетные принадлежности, полотенца, все своевременно пополнялось. Персонал дружелюбный, завтрак континентальный с 8 до 10.30. Рядом много кафе, есть супермаркеты. До остановки трамвая №1 несколько минут пешком. Единственный недостаток - шумоизоляция, номер был на первом этаже, слышимость с улицы как будто окна открыты нараспашку, хорошо, что улочки тихие. В остальном размещение понравилось, приятно провели время.
• Azzedine (6/5): Bof bof - L hôtel est idéalement situé dans le quartier sultanahmet. Les chambres sont nettoyees tous les jours . Mais ça s'arrête la La Chambre est minuscule. Rien a, voir avec les photos du site Le petit déjeuner est ridicule. Sur le site de réservation il était marque soins spa. Or en fait il propose un Tarif préférentiel pour un hammam attrape touristes. Je n'en garderai pas un souvenir impérissable
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Hotel ist sehr zentral. Man ist zu Fuß innerhalb weniger Minuten am Grand Bazar sowie an der Hagia Sofia oder aber an der Straßenbahn Haltestelle. Das Personal ist sehr sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist ok. Ich kann dieses Hotel nur weiterempfehlen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Super charmantes Hotel in 1 A Lage. Kurze Wege zu den allgemeinen Attraktionen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Le personnel est des plus gentils et des plus serviables. La situation est des plus rêvées. Tout est à proximité, tout est superbe. Je le conseille vivement. Pour moi je reviendrai sans problèmes Inchaallah.
• Baloch (10/5): - wir haben diese Hotel fur zwei person vom 17-23 January 2020 gebucht. Hotel is in gute Lage nicht weit vom Centrum. Personal sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zimmer und Toiletten Sind sehr gut und Sauber. Allgemein Hotel ist sehr gut und Top u f ich empfehle sehr gerne weiter.
• Tariq (8/5): - The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and very well done. The breakfast was OK with some room for improvement in the choice of items.
• Suhail (10/5): Spectacular Stay - I stayed in Ala Sofia Hotel for three Nights. All the staff was very co operative and Helpful. Especially, the Lady at the counter named BALLAR was very nice, Humble and Helpful person towards us. Our room was in Basement, that was a Nice and spacious room. There was elevator as well to go on different floors.Only one little problem was that it was hard to view outside through the Window. Apart for that, it was wonderful experience to stay with Ala Sofia Hotel. I'll recommend this Hotel to stay if someone visiting Istanbul.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hôtel bien situé a proximité du cite historique, dans un style baroque chic tres agréable avec petit-déjeuner pas tres varié mais efficace. Je le recommande pour l
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I really liked the service at the hotel, the staff were really helpful and very approachable. The hotel ambience was really nice. The hotel was really near the trams, shops and restaurants. The only issue we had was the room we had reserved was not available when we arrived as there was plumbing issues. Due to that the room we got was small. It was difficult moving around the room with luggage.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice n helpfully manager. The works at the hotel very nice too.
• CARABIN (8/5): - Très compréhensif, ils ont changé la chambre que je trouvais trop étroite et bruyante. L'hôtel est très bien décoré et les finitions sont parfaites. Il est très proche des monuments à visiter, 5 mn. prés du tramway.
• Badra (4/5): - Nous avions réservé une chambre familiale avec un grand lit double et 2 lits simples. Mais cette chambre n'était pas disponible. De plus, la terrasse pour le petit déjeuner n'existe plus, elle a été transformée en appartement, alors que c'était l'une des raisons pour lesquelles nous avions choisi cet hôtel.
• Muhammed (4/5): - Familienzimmer gebucht 2 mini Zimmer bekommen und nichteinmal entgegen gekommen fön war auch kaputt kein safe das einzig gute war das Restaurant was gegenüber ist Ozzi Pizza und der Rezeptionist Yahya also fingerweg
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The noise of the people in the hallway is too loud until late at night. You can not easily get to sleep.
• bern (10/5): Quit and confy - Wonderful staff nice location everything you need to ha. A n ice stay
• Verified traveler (10/5): Middle everything - Fell very confortable staff fantastic much information made me fell secure I went athens and back to istambul and stay again at ferman
• nono (8/5): beautiful - we would like to stay more the next time it was comfortable calm and relax
• Vickram (10/5): Very good hotel close to main touristic area. - We stayed 4 nights. Our room was clean and good size. Bathroom was large and very comfortable. Hotel staff were very helpful in all aspects, including local tours and getting some discounts. We liked the breakfast table as it catered to both veg and non-veg guests. Sea view from the restaurant was superb.
• Brunilda (10/5): My awesome Istanbul experience - It was an amazing experience. The staff was awesome and Apo the front desk guy was incredible from t time we enter. He gave us all the infotmation we needed it made reservation for us and also helped us with transportation. Rooms were huge and comfortable and my kids we in love with location, comfort and great service. Oh I cant forget great breakfast on terrace with incredible view.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hôtel idéalement placé à 2 minutes à pied des principaux monuments (Ste Sophie, Mosquée Bleue...). Excellent accueil par un personnel aux petits soins.
• Wilfredo (10/5): First Time In Istanbul - Great location! We loved our corner room. Great deal! Staff were nice. The rooftop had great views! Breakfast is not something to be excited about though.
• Inci (8/5): Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. - Wir waren für sechs Tage da. Haben uns in dem Hotel gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das Personal hat uns jeden wunsch erfüllt. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß gut zu erreichen. Das Frühstück ist für den Preis ok. Danke, nochmal ans Persona.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Slecht hotel! - hotel qua hygiene zeer slecht en de eten is een drama, ze gebruikten elke dag dezelfde eten en drinken waardoor er schimmels te zien was. Ik raad deze hotel af.
• musteriyi daha cok dinlemeliler, kahvalti performansi da iyi degil (4/5): iyi sayilir ama bazi sorunlar var - rezervasyonu double room yaptirdim. ucretsiz oldugu belirtilen bebek yatagi yardimiyla 2 cocugumla odada konaklamayi dusunuyordum. tatil kisa oldugu icin dorun olmayacagini dudunuyordum. ancak nebek yatsklarinin olmadigini, olsa da ucretli olacagini, hotels.com rezervasyon ve otel bilgilerinden cok kendi kayotlarindaki bilgilerin onemli oldugunu soyleyip bizi farkli bir odaya gecelik 10 avro ekstra odeme ile alabileceklerini soylediler, biz de caresiz kabul etmek zorunda kaldik. ekstra odeme yaptik, hic hos bir durum olmadi bu.
• Aysa (4/5): Schönes hotel in 2 min. İn Sultanahmet platz. - Das hotel ist schön auch die Zimmer nur beim gensuen hinschauen war es nicht sauber. Früchstück war in ordnung. Könnte mehr auswahl sein. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereires personal
• mohammad (8/5): best location easy to find your way to hotel - it's a small hotel with outstanding staff a very good location close to grand bazar very close to Blue masque very clean a very good breakfast with smile and very good behavior from the entire saff
• Verified traveler (10/5): Vielen vielen Dank, super hotel & Team - Das kostenlose w-lan war sehr schnell wie meine Verbindung in Deutschland, top! Zimmer war sehr sauber, Austattung: lcd flachbildfernseher, fön, usw. Wie auch in 4 sterne hotels, dazu kostenloser safe mit pincode, sehr praktisch! Wir sind zu dritt mit unserem sohn da gewesen. Damit wir in ruhe frühstücken konnten hat sich Mahmud oft um um den kleinen gekümmert. Das personal war sehr nett und immer, immer Freundlich und Zuvorkommend. Bei dem Preis den wir gezahlt haben, hatte ich dann ein schlechtes gewissen das wir soviel bekommen haben. Im frühjahr werde ich wieder dieses hotel buchen. Es war alles so ungezwungen, locker und erholend. Die Zentrumsnähe zur strassenbahn und zu den sehenswürdigkeiten war einfach nur genial. Dieses hotel habe ich auch meinen eltern und freunden empfohlen. AUSSICHT VON DER TERASSE SEHR SCHÖN!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was good ..,,,,,,,,..........:::::....,,,,,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,???????
• Verified traveler (10/5): All good - Good location, clean and well presented room, accommodating staff, great view from breakfast area.
• Verified traveler (4/5): You have to be lucky or bold to get a good room! - Because our travleschedule changed at last minute we had to make changes to the room we booked. Eventhough it was our own "fault", the staff unfortunately wasn't very flexible with finding a sollution for it's costumers. The room was clean but we had mice wandering around the room, no hot water to shower and the airconditioner started in the middle of the night, so that by the morning it was 30 degrees in the room! After the first night we did got a different room, much better, but we did not stay another night after this story.
• Marshall (8/5): - Spent four days over Christmas. The hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Istanbul and it lived up to my expectations.Breakfast was typical with a lot of dried fruit. Bread was very good and they did offer boiled eggs and a few warm items. The staff was most helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - A good clean, well positioned hotel that offers a comfortable stay.
• Maher (2/5): Ferman Sultan Hotel is Filthy - I booked 14 nights but I could not stay one minute in this hotel it's filthy in every way, sewage order throughout the hotel, bathroom is very dirty its fill with mold. Hotels.com should be a ashamed of themselves to have this hotel on their site!!! Ferman Sultan Hotel not a hotel stay in even for free. The floor has spot all over the the bed small disgusting. I lost over $1000.00 they refused refund my money and Hotels.com have misleading information deceiving their customers!!! I took many pictures to share on TripAdvisor and other site.
• Fabian (6/5): Cobros extras - La habitación cuando llegamos aún no estaba lista, tuvimos que esperar. El recepcionista no fue muy amable, en la van que envío el hotel al aeropuerto a recogernos se quedó el estuche de mis lentes, que no fue devuelto. El desayuno no era muy variado y poca cantidad de cosas para comer en relación a la cantidad de pasajeros. Buena ubicación, excelente vista de la Mezquita Azul y el Bósforo. Muy caro el precio que cobran por lavar la ropa es el doble que en otros hoteles del sector, nosotros lavamos en otro hotel nuestra ropa. Cobrán más caro por el servicio de transfer compartido al aeropuerto, también lo pedimos y tomamos en otro hotel.
• Regina (10/5): Zentrales und sauberes Hotel, in sicherer Umgebung - War mit einer Freundin für ein langes Wochenende dort. Die zentrale Lage war perfekt für unsere Ausflüge. Konnten alles per Fuss und mit dem Big Bus erkunden. Sind noch nicht mal dazu gekommen mit der Tram zu fahren :) Die Angebote und Empfehlungen des Hotel-Personals waren auch alle sehr gut. Ein noch recht neuer Mitarbeiter hat manchmal ein paar Falsch-Aussagen gemacht, die dann aber doch korrigiert wurden. Und wir waren so flexible, dass es uns nicht erheblich beeinträchtigt hat. Kann das Hotel nur Weiterempfehlen. Störungen meines Kühlschranks wurden ebenso umgehend behoben.
• Lily (6/5): 3 star hotel 3 star service. - thank you for your hospitality. the situation is perfect. so close to everything.
• Toshiko (6/5): 立地とスタッフはよいです - ブルーモスクに近く、便利な立地でした。ただ、ラマダンの最中に滞在したので夜遅くまですぐ近くの公園で人が深夜過ぎまで騒いでいる音が気になりました。お風呂は浴槽がありましたが、残念ながら水が少し赤茶けた色をしていました。朝ごはんは期待していた分がっかりした内容でした。立地がいいこと、スタッフさんの親切さは評価したいです。
• Verified traveler (4/5): A eviter - Experience tres inconfortable ! La clim ne marchait pas en rentrant de promenade. En me presentant a l accueil il la reactivé depuis le comptoir. A 4:00 du matin ma fille de 13 mois sest levée trempée et notre thermometre indiquait 28,4 degrés. Nous etions en nage. Je vais a laccueil et le receptionniste monte a ma chambre, me programme soit disant la clim : 30 degrés mode chauffage. J etais a 2 doigts de me mettre en colere ! On a donc du ouvrir les fenetre pour rafraichir ! Sinon le petit dej sur une super vue mais les produits proposés etaient limites perimés ( les couleurs montraient bien qu ils n etaient plus frais!) je deconseille!!!
• Kimberley (8/5): Rooms are variable - We had booked an extra night separately, so we had to move rooms during our stay. What a difference! The 3rd floor room had a nice view, good bed and was pleasant all up. The basement room was smaller, mattress was worn and uneven, view was passer by's legs and the bathroom developed a bad smell. No difference on paper (the basement room too was advertised 'city views'), but a massive difference in how we would rate the hotel. All comes down to luck. Above scores are from 3 nights in a good room and 1 night in a bad one.
• Laura (8/5): Schönes Hotel nahe der Hagia Sophia - Ein sehr schönes Hotel inmitten der kleinen Gassen von Istanbul aber trotzdem kann man innerhalb weniger Minuten die Hagia Sophia, die Blaue Moschee (Sultan-Ahmed-Moschee) und die Cisterna Basilica erreichen. Das Hotel bietet ein riesiges Frühstücksbuffet an bei dem für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei ist. Besonders erwähnenswert ist, dass man das Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse des Hotels einnehmen kann, welche einen atemberaubenden Blick über den Bosporus und die Dächer Istanbuls bietet. Die Zimmer sind schön hergerichtet (nach abendländischem Stil) und die Betten bequem. Einziger Nachteil sind die dünnen Wände die besonders für Personen mit leichtem Schlaf ein Nachteil sein könnten. Das Personal ist freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr hilfsbereit. Es werden von hier aus auch diverse Ausflüge in und um Istanbul angeboten. Einen davon haben wir mitgemacht und es war alle sehr gut organisiert und auch nicht teuer.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis - ... super gute Lage inmitten aller Sehenswürdigkeiten und trotzdem in einer relativ ruhigen Seitengasse ... süßer Empfang mit Chai und ausführliche Erklärung der Lage etc. ... gute Internetverbindung ... schöne Dachterrasse mit Blick auf das Meer ... leckeres Frühstücksbuffett ... höfliches Personal
• Ulrike (8/5): Gemütliches & zentrales Hotel - Für einen Städtetrip ist dieses Hotel sehr zu empfehlen. Das Personal ist unheimlich hilfsbereit und liebenswert. Es ist schwer etwas Vergleichbares zu finden. Die zentrale Lage ist perfekt. Das einzige zu Kritisierende: die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Urlaub in Istanbul - Alles Prima, Lage ist sehr gut. Leicht zu finden und Nachts ist die Gegend auch super. 2 Straßen von Sultan Ahmet Camii. In der Nähe sind auch zwei Supermärkte. 8 Min von Metro und 3 Min von der Tram. Frühstück war gut. Zimmer sind Prima.
• Magnus (8/5): Prisvärt - Stora fina och rena rum, nära till allt, trevlig hjälpsam personal, okej frukostbuffé.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis - Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut. Man ist nicht weit entfernt von den verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Hagia Sophia etc. Das Personal des Hotels ist sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel in walking distance of lots of sights - Our stay at the Ferman Sultan Hotel was good. The service team was really friendly and helpful. The room was always clean and the breakfast buffet was also okay. We would stay there again :-)
• Eduardo (6/5): Ferman Sultan Hotel - Very good location. The staff, mainly Mr. Umut, were very nice and helped a lot with my needs. The Hotel just need to be more careful with the maintenance. My room the thermostat did not work, so the room was very hot, or very cold after turn the heater off, the shower head was not functioning properly. I only stay 2 nights, so i let the fixing to be done after my departure.
• Jim (10/5): PERFECT LOCATION - This hotel is absolutely close to everything! The staff at this hotelare exceptional. Their hospitality and service was more than I can put into words. Their hospitality is something one would expect from a 5 star hotel. My many thanks to CEM (pronounced Gem) who was the front desk whom I had the pleasure of interacting mostly with. Although I must thank all the GREAT staff that were there. If you are looking for a small, intimate and well situated hotel, this is the one. I would definitely stay here again on my return trip to Istanbul.
• Marcelo (10/5): Excellent. - Excellent.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Oud, schoon,vriendelijk personeel,slecht ontbijt - Schoon hotel. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. Zeer slecht ontbijt.
• zaur (10/5): ben cok begendim - otelde her sey iyiydi.bu fiyata bu rahatligi bulacagimi sanmiyordum.bir daha istanbula gelirsem ilk dusunecegim otellerin ilki olur belki de.personel de cana yakindi.temizlik de cok iyi.kahvalti cesidi de iyi.ikinci gun odada cikan problemden dolayi kisa surede baska bir odaya tasindik.bir de televizyon kumandasinda ufak bir ariza olmustu.genelde hersey iyiydi.
• shimu (8/5): リーズナブルで快適なホテルです - ３泊４日初めてのイスタンブール旅行で滞在しました。 スルタンアフメットの駅からは徒歩およそ５分くらい、ひとつ次のチェンベルリタシュの駅も同じくらいです。 坂がありますが、慣れてしまえば道はそれほど難しくありません。 建物は小ぢんまりとしていますが、快適なホテルでした。 ダブルベッドも広かったです。 冬で毎日雨や雪で服が濡れてしまっていたたので、暖房を毎日ガンガン効かせられて助かりました。 朝食のバイキングもついていて、種類豊富というほどではないですが、 チーズとパンと温かい紅茶があればそれで◎。 ホテルスタッフは若い人が多いようでしたが 観光プランの相談にものってくれ、親切です（英語）。 なにより、スルタンアフメット地区にあるので、ブルーモスクもアヤソフィアも歩いていくことができて、 近くに飲食店やATMも多く便利に滞在できたので、 （グランドバザールも歩いて行けました） リーズナブルに快適に滞在でき満足です。
• Velebit (10/5): True meaning of value for money - Perfect value for money. Will recommend to any and everyone going to Istanbul
• Ardalan (8/5): Gehorige kamer - Alles was prima, perfect en mensen in de hotel waren ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Alleen heb ik niet kunnen uitrusten, vanwege kamer was gehorig als ander bewoners hadden een beetje gezellig. Dus: ontzettend gehorig.
• Sabah (8/5): Good, could be better - Room was good for the price, but the beds were not too comfortable. The hotel is quite small, no room service or spa as advertised on their website. We also found some of the staff to be less accommodating/flexible than we would have liked. Breakfast was great! Great location, right in the heart of Old City (Sultanahmet) and close to most tourist sites. Would recommend if you will be gone all day while in Istanbul.
• Jan (8/5): Bra hotell - Trevlig och mycket hjälpsam personal, bra läge men lite svårt att hitta. Fin utsikt från frukosten och riklig frukost. Helt ok standard på boendet, men tv-bilden dålig
• Lawrence (10/5): wonderful hotel - Second time staying here. Excellent experience. Highly recommend. Will stay here on next visit to Istanbul.
• zaneem (8/5): very good hotel - it s very good hotel few hundred meters away from sultanahamad mosque, it is quit and clean but be sure that your room not in basement
• Jacinta (10/5): Fermon sultan -first choice in Istanbul - All staff were absolutely amazing,fantastic location
• couple (8/5): Excellent location - Easy walking to sites and eateries also tram/metro from airport. Literally a few minutes from Blue Mosque. Facilities acceptable with reasonable breakfast pleasant staff without being pushy. Oldish style hotel which is normal for this area. Would use this hotel again.
• Husnain (6/5): Great Location - It was a short stay, if you are not bothered about the 5 star facilities e.g. pool, bar, spa, etc then this hotel is ok for you. Location is great, 1 min walk to Blue Mosque and Overall is clean.
• marshall (8/5): Conveniently located in heart of sultanhamet area - Close to blue mosque, Aya Sophia mosque, hippodrome, topkapi palace, golden horn, grand bazaar, spice bazaar, etc., etc. plus many many eateries.
• elaine (8/5): Excellent location,faded in need of redecoration - This hotel is very close to where you would want to be, near the historic centre. It took 2 nights to get used to the 4am call to prayer! The breakfast buffet was ok but not very exciting. Unfortunately the walls are thin and we had some very inconsiderate neighbours who talked very loudly into the small hours. The holiday was great. So many interesting places to go and things to see. Try not to rush around as it is a very large but relaxed city. We stayed a week which is about right. We found that you need to go into small restaurants in back streets to get the best meals. We had a special celebration at the Four Seasons Hotel which is quite magnificent.
• Moe (6/5): Nice - Good location nice and help full staff. Stay away from room number 302 as lot of noise. As there is Resturant on above the room you with hear moving of chairs and foot steps starts at 6am. Also make sure your bed sheets are changed regularly we had two rooms for five days after three days we notice out bed sheet was not changed till we requested.
• Barbara (4/5): Nice enough staff but disappointing room - Was put in a basement room. Lighting so poor I couldn't read. Bedding substandard. I would not return again or recommend
• Y (8/5): Nice hotel close to Blue mosque and hagia sophia - Hotel was excellent, very clean and tidy with friendly and helpful staff”. i stayed here few days and the quality of the rooms was very high. The best and most memorable part of our stay, was without doubt the staff - they were extremely polite and friendly. The location was excellent very close to all (almost ) historic places and the sea...
• Nigel (10/5): Excellent Staff ! - The hotel staff make this hotel very helpful and a good laugh to boot ! The location is perfect for the main tourist spots in the old town and for places to eat within a five to ten minute walk. Good value all round would stay again
• Euro Honeymooners (8/5): good location and value for money - Nice, neat, clean and tidy and for the money there is really nothing to complain about. The beds are comfortable, functional bathroom, air con and mini bar. My wife and I paid a great deal more elsewhere in Europe for less. Breakfast isn't great but as I later found out it is quite traditional, so you can't really fault that. To simply put, I would stay here again.
• William (8/5): Nice hotel but small room. - Nice roof top terrace. Good location.
• David (10/5): - Good hotel and very friendly helpful staff.
• Ferdousey (10/5): Family friendly hotel with a great location. - Serder is one of the best hotel managers i have come across. He always speaks to his guest any chance he gets and made me and my family (mom & neice) feel very welcome. Mert was also really good very well manered but also very patience. Between mert (forgive me if i spelt the name wrong) and Serder the hotel is a must stay. I will definitely come again. My 11yr niece absolutly enjoyed speaking to Serder and learning turkish words from him. The triple room was wonderfully clean with kettle, fridge and selection of teas. The bathroom is very clean with no moulds what so ever. Breakfast was also wonderful and the staff responsible for preparing breakfast buffet do an excellent job. Well done to all staff at Ferman Sultan Hotel keep up the good work. Well done Serder for making the hotel family friendly and the guest feel like they are at home. Im already preparing my next stay with them!
• AJR (8/5): Great location, friendly staff. Pity about noisy d - Great location 100mt from the Blue Mosque and other major sites. Its in the quiet area of town and you can walk to most things or take a tram anywhere. Breakfast was pretty basic but sufficient, room was very nice, unfortunately you can hear a lot through the doors which i do not think were up to the job.
• anwar q (10/5): very close to all must see sights - It was a very good experience. Everything was as told. The quality of breakfast should be improved. Hotel crew was very helpful. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Rates were very reasonable.
• Thanu (10/5): Excellent location & very helpful staff - The hotel is very comfortable. The staff is excellent & was very very helpful in giving us good recommendations on the places to eat & advice on taxi's. the only problem we had was that the tub had a slight leak, so the bathroom would get damp when you take a shower.
• Kumar (8/5): Close to blue mask good for the price - The Hotel is located near the blue mask. Short walk to the main hub of the city. Good breakfast. Friendly Manager and Staff.
• brian (10/5): stay here!!!! what a blast - Awesome stay at this hotel. Beautiful roof top terrace, needs music but not a big deal. Rooms are kinda small but I was still satisfied. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again. 45 second walk to the blue.mosque and the shop owners around the hotel were absolute jems. If your looking for an affordable hotel in sultan ahmet stay here
• Tariq (6/5): I would avoid being in the same hotel next time. - Over all the hotel was ok. It was at the center of sultanahment as mentioned. The hotel and room was very clean. But the the room itself doesnt look the same as shown in picture. The wasnt that friendly and the air conditioner wasnt working for most of the days despite mentioning it to the staff. We had the roof top breakfast but the food was cold, so didnt enjoyed a bit.
• Omar (10/5): Outstanding Location, Helpful Staff - Spent 3 nights. When I wanted a higher floor they moved me and accommodated my request as soon as a room was available. Murat at the reception desk and Aly the bellman were both so helpful. View from breakfast area is fabulous. Restaurant across the street very nice. Easy walk to all tourist sites. Safe too small for laptop but no problems, and seagulls sometimes noisy early morrning. Would use the same hotel again. Reasonable price too.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good location. - It is located near the main historic sites but not on a very glamorous or safe looking street however we never felt at risk.
• Odran (10/5): Reasonable, clean and relaxing - Great hotel - So close to the blue mosque. Having Breakfast on the Roof Terrace was a great start to the day. Staff were friendly, room was clean. No problems or issues whatsoever. Reasonable, clean and relaxing.
