We booked the two bedroom option which in fact were two internally joined rooms. They were spacious and clean. Room service was good and daily. The aoartments were across the the small road opposite the hotel. A typical Turkish breakfast with plenty of choice. All the staff were very helpful and polite. As for location it us only 60 yards to the start of restaurants and shops. Even better on 3-400 yards from the blue and Sophia Mosques.

Very pleasant experience to the hotel. Staff very attentive, hotel very clean including the room, delicious breakfast with various choices on the menu and the location was fantastic: rooftop terrace with view on the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and on the other side with the Bosphorus. The hotel is a walking distance to main historical attractions like The Topkapi Palace, The Basilica Citern, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Plaza Sultanahmet. It is located in the historical area with quick access to public transportation, restos, and souvenir shopping. Uber works also very well. A little bazaar nearby and the Grand Bazaar is a 15 minutes walk. Thanks again Ferman Old City Hotel. If to return we’ll certainly stay here again.
