We had such a special stay at Ferman Konak Hotel. The staff were lovely - so kind, friendly, and really went out of their way to help us, even accommodating my request of decorating the room to celebrate a special occasion. The room was perfect with a very comfortable bed, all possible necessary amenities (we were very grateful to the free hot drinks and water in the lobby), and a very clean bathroom. Quiet, even though it was in the heart of Fatih and a great location for exploring Istanbul. We found parking easily on the nearby side streets.

Everything was perfect! (although the stairs to the room were quite steep - maybe something to note if you have mobility issues!)

Before staying here, I was in 2 different hotels. And I can surely say that this is the best hotel I had in Istanbul. The room was very clean and beautiful plus the toilet was also very clean and they take a good care about hygiene. Many hotels in Istanbul didn’t care alot about hygiene. The toilet stinks and have poor drainage. But this hotel is totally different. There is even a public kitchen where you can get a free coffee or tea. The hotel also provides breakfast with a price of 5€ per person. The price is actually nothing compared to what you will get for. You will do your breakfast with alot of food choices on a rooftop with a view of Bosphoros strait, Blue Mosque and also Hagia Sophia!! Magnificent views. This is the most unforgettable memory for me. Other than that, both receptionist were very friendly and helpful. One of them name Berhat. He greeted us with a very welcoming heart. Although we are coming 2 hours before the check-in, it does not matter at all. He offered us coffee and chit chatting with us about Istanbul and many other things. He is such a friendly guy. Seems like we have known each other for a long time. Last but not least I really recommend this hotel to anybody that want a comfortable and a very reasonable price hotel. No stress and the receptionist can help you with anything. It’s worth the money.

Nothing.

Our stay at Ferman Konak was great! The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly from the beginning. We left our bags at the hotel for 10 days and they were very well stored, when we arrived they were in a reserved place with our names. The team helped us with any complications during our trip and gave us great tips about Istanbul! The living area is great and always clean, there is free tea, juice, water and coffee, which made everyday life much easier. The location is also great, very close to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. We really felt at home and we will definitely be back!

We stayed in the family room, as we were 6 people. The room has 1 double bed and 2 bunk beds, which were comfortable. However, the room does not have any windows to the street, so ventilation is extremely impaired. The door to the bathroom has a certain transparency and also does not have a lock, so it leads to a certain lack of privacy. Furthermore, the bathroom also does not have windows to the outside, so we had no way of ventilating the room. on a next stay, perhaps we would choose to stay in different rooms, which have windows.

The property is really big. The rooms too are well equipped and cleaned. The staff are brillaint. The place was empty when we went and next to our room We had a massive lounge which served so well with our four children. We did stay central so food was pricey but takeaways served us well and they came straight to the hotel no hassle!

It’s not wheel chair friendly not that any of us need a wheelchair but be mindful there are steps to some of the rooms.

The hotel staff are all super friendly and helpful, especially a BIG thank you to Latif, who even helped planned our Istanbul itinerary. Our room is also very clean. Bed is comfortable and shower has good pressure and hot water. The hotel is located behind the busy street crowded with bustling restaurants and big buses. Convenient yet tranquil! Although there is no breakfast at Ferman Konak, Latif would tell you that with extra 5 euros, you can go to the sister Ferman Hotel behind to enjoy a great breakfast with an amazing view of Istanbul! We extended our stay from 3 to 7 days. Truly magnificent, will definitely go back again. Highly recommended!

Footstep noises from thin walls (above neighbors) and the road alley for trucks behind, coupled with the dogs residing there, is the only downside because of the noise. During the day, the noises are not disrupting and we're out mostly, but can be clearer at night. One night we couldn't sleep because the dogs were fighting and howling and people are chatting downstairs. Would not change my mind of returning to Ferman Konak, hopefully the road is gone in coming years.

Loved the staff. Especially Mr. Latif was very friendly and helped us with useful information. He went far and beyond to meet our needs. The rooms were clean. The hotel location is close to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque but a bit far from public transport like trams and the ferry. The breakfast at their sister hotel (situated at the back of the hotel - 3 mins walk) was excellent - cost us 5 Euro per person.

The fixtures shows the age, requires repairs. Bathroom needs hooks for hanging clothes. Could use some basic amenities like iron.

Everything was perfect! Very Clean, comfortable bed, very friendly/ helpful staff, great location. I like that the room had hard wood floors instead of carpeting. The outdoor garden area is great, you can sit anytime of day/ night and enjoy free teas/ coffees. There is also a kitchenette there if needed. You can choose to enjoy breakfast buffet between 7:30-10:00am on the terrace of their sister hotel ( 1 min walk) for 5 euro per person. Great view! Hayasofia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, local Bazaar and Tram station all at walking distance ( 10 mins)

Thin walls, we could hear other guests but our room was one of the two rooms situated in the lobby area so I believe this wouldn't be an issue for the rest of the rooms upstairs.

The location, the customer service/staff, and the mattress was very comfortable. Berat was incredibly helpful, went above and beyond for anytging that we needed. He even was able to travel down and retrieve my hat from one of the buses that dropped us off. These guys provide outstanding customer service, are very friendly, and the mattresses are comfortable :)

its a bit small of room for a couple

The hotel staff made my friends and I feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. They were very helpful, especially the receptionists Emirhan and his other colleague. They helped book our taxis into town and to the airport and went beyond what was expected of them to provide items we requested to make our experience staying at the hotel even more comfortable. They were very friendly and helped us with directions and also recommended the best places to visit and dine during our time in Turkey, which added to the memories we have of our stay there. I would definitely book with them again :)

I would have much preferred if the smoking cigarettes was prohibited indoors.
