6.2/10

I had a mixed experience at Ferman Hilal Hotel during my stay. The location was definitely a plus since it was only a short stroll to Taksim Square, but I faced a few issues with my room that detracted from the overall vibe. While some staff were helpful and friendly, I encountered some operational hiccups, particularly with breakfast and room amenities.

Rooms

5.0

My room was really small and lacked some basics, like a kettle for boiling water. The glass door for the bathroom didn't provide much privacy either, which was a bit awkward. Plus, noise from the lobby and other rooms made it hard to relax.

Service

6.0

The staff did their best to help out, especially with local recommendations and excursions, but there were moments where they could've been more attentive, particularly when I raised concerns about my room.

Location

8.0

The area was super convenient, just minutes away from Taksim Square, making it easy to explore the city. I loved that I could walk to nearby attractions without hassle, but the steep hill could be a challenge for some.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was a letdown; the options were quite limited and by the time I arrived, some items weren't even ready. Also, the cleanliness of the dining area left a bit to be desired, which was disappointing.

Facilities

5.0

The amenities were basic, and it would've been nice to have more services available, especially given that I faced noise issues in my room. On the plus side, the housekeeping was on point, keeping things tidy.
