Ferman Port Hotel - Special Category Reviews

It was a great experience. All the hotel staffs were very helpful. Mr Chem and Mr Hassan including the other reception staffs were accommodating and they gave directions and other tips regarding the local life. I will definitely stay there again

Everything is fine except the cleaning which is sloppy, we don't fold your clothes we don't put them away for you, and especially sometimes I had to ask that we come and do the cleaning otherwise we don't come, no Netflix in the rooms, breakfast forget it, it is better to take without, otherwise the Hotel is beautiful, spacious and beautiful rooms, everything is side by side on foot

The price is very high. In the most prosperous part of Istanbul, it is very close to various attractions. The breakfast is very rich, and there are many local specialties. At night, you can go downstairs to the seaside. You can try the local sea-view restaurant. The prices are generally very low.

so so.

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel very much. Despite the good reception and spacious rooms, it is a nice hotel with a rooftop breakfast. I still choose to give it 3 stars. In fact, we saw a wall. Every day we took the stairs that were never vacuumed (and had not been cleaned for a few days), the water in the shower was not hot or cold and the TV was not vacuumed. The connection problem at the hotel did not work (even if we were not there to watch). I think for a 4 * hotel, the negative factors mentioned above should not exist. It is still a beautiful hotel with pleasant staff.

I stayed at the Ferman Port Hotel in May of 2024 and we were a family of four with two young boys aged 10 and 5. We stayed for 5 nights. We got a double room with a door in between. While driving to the hotel from the airport we came to know that cabs stop on the main road and from there it was about a 2 min walk to the hotel. In summary our stay at the hotel was just outstanding. I am a big stickler for locations when I visit cities and Ferman was so conveniently located. The Kabatash metro and bus stations take you to all parts of Istanbul within no time and are located 2 mins walk from the , hotel. We did Sultanhamet, Balat, Dolmabahçe, Kadikoy (5walking) and many other areas very conveniently. In addition there is an old train (Funicular) which is just 2 mins again from the hotel and can take you to Taksim, Istiklal and Galata Tower. The Galata bridge is next door and one can again walk to the party district of Kadikoy Secondly, I felt the view from the top of the terrace was outstanding. This place also served breakfast and it was very good spread specifically for kids. We loved the variety of cheese and breads on offer everyday and of course the Turkish tea served with small pieces of Turkish delight. As far as the room is concerned, the beds were comfortable, lighting was good and there was enough space (in the room and in the cupboard). The staff always has a smile on their face and I would suggest we use the front desk to book activities in Istanbul such as a cruise etc. rather than pre book. In terms of areas of improvement just two suggestions : a bigger bathroom and a more well equipped gym But out and out , an outstanding stay in the center of the city

Pros- great location, very friendly service, comfortable bed, great breakfast with good view of river from breakfast room. Cons - from what we saw of other rooms, we may have been the last to arrive that day but our ‘superior double’ felt like a converted cupboard it was so small. And they need to improve on cleaning. Looked fine on surface but when looking under the bed for something we’d dropped it was very dirty. May be cos very hard to get hoovers etc into small room but still. Would stay again here but would check room allocation in advance.

Welcoming staff: "The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay".although this hotel is beautiful has Small rooms and small bathrooms also air conditioning not very cool. I do not recommend for a family with small children or large people. Great breakfast: "We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning". Convenient location: "We loved the convenient location close to major attractions". I extremely recommend to go to Mado restaurant it’s like 5 minutes walking from the hotel. Laundry service it’s very affordable. . Friendly staff: "The reception staff very friendly, fast and obliging". Specifically at breakfast "The hotel is very central within easy reach of shops, eating places and metro, buses and taxis and ferry

Our last trip to Istanbul was exactly 2 years ago. This time again we stayed in Ferman Port Hotel. As last time our stay was excellent. We had a family room on the second level with two rooms, one with a double bed and other with twin beds. Room was nice and clean with all amenities as expected. Breakfast was again reasonably good and served in the restaurant on the 4th level. The staff in the hotel were very helpful and available when needed. There was a supply of coffee in the lobby room as well as cold drinking water. The only drawback the hotel is in a back alley. Overall loved staying here again.

This a very expensive and is barely a 3 star hotel. The rooms are old and worn, the breakfast area has the dirtiest cushions and bench seats and it would appear the no one bothers to clean them the main foyer is an echo chamber as well as being right next to a mosque made me wonder why the staff leave all the windows in the hallways open each day so you get woken up at 4;30am with prayers everyday. It was the worst bed I’ve slept on in any hotel in the world two singles pushed together without any regard for the lag in the middle. I will say that the staff are extremely helpful and nice, unfortunately for them they cannot change the hotel they work in.

A lovely, clean and welcoming hotel in a great location for exploring Istanbul! The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful and there’s a great breakfast buffet too - what more could you possibly want! Thank you to everyone at Ferman Port hotel for a lovely stay.

I have always wanted to visit Istanbul and this was my chance to spend 6 days with my daughter and son-in-law and their son (1 half). We picked the Ferman Port Hotel from the Internet photos. We were not disappointed, on the contrary I would recommend the Ferman Port to anyone spending time in Istanbul. The hotel is located not far from the Golden Horn Bridge. It is very tastefully decorated. Rooms are small but very adiquite and clean. Best room is the breakfast room. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Thanks to them we had a really wonderful stay. Thank you.

Loved this beautiful hotel and the location of it. Loved how close it was to the water and the view from breakfast was spectacular. There is also starts that will take you up to the roof for better views. Hotel staff was excellent and had a wonderful time at the spa.

The fact that it is located in the centre of Istanbul and close to all transportation facilities was more important for us than anything else. The approach of all staff was kind and polite. You can get advice from the reception about all activities and excursions in the city. We will definitely come again on our next trip.
