Fer Hotel

Everything! It was such an amazing hotel and so attentive. The location is perfect, it’s right next to all the important landmarks and definitely one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Türkiye by far. It’s a walking distance to Hagia Sofia, Sultan Ahmet, Gran Bazaar, Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Eminonu. Genuinely was so pleased with the location. The hotel itself is luxurious and makes you feel good. It was really clean and smelled so nice when you walked into the lobby. I loved the interior too. We were initially given their best room on the lower ground floor but my mum had blood pressure issues and she couldn’t stay there so we were given a room on the 5th floor which was equally lovely, they were very accommodating and lovely about this. We had the Breakfast included and it was really nice, the only thing I would say is that the strawberries were not great they were a bit damaged etc but other than that the breakfast was great and the staff working were soooooo lovely you can’t fault them at all. Each and everybody working the restaurant were amazing human beings. I believe it’s Ahmet at the front desk, he was a great person and spoke English really well, was so helpful. We also experienced the 6.2 earthquake whilst in the hotel and felt the earthquake but the hotel withstood it very well. I felt safe being inside and staff were very reassuring. They informed us the building has been designed to withstand earthquakes and it’s very safe. Special shout out to Mohammed who does the cleaning he was sooo kind and so special. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to visit Istanbul!

The location of the hotel is fantastic, in the heart of Fatih, just 5min walk to the Grand bazar and 10min walk to the Sultanahmet square, but in a very quiet street. Eminonu pier can be reached in 15min walk, and the tram station is just around the corner. The area is filled with shops and restaurants. The rooms were quite spacious, and had everything that one can need. I recommend to take the breakfast, the food was delicious. And the most important thing: the staff! I don't have enough good words for them, from the reception, cleaning ladies and gentleman, to the breakfast staff, everyone was so wonderful and polite! My family and I will definitely come back.

We stayed 3 adults and a 2 year old. The room was true to the pictures and had a good size. Me, my husband and our son stayed in the room with double bed, while my dad stayed in the living room with sofa bed. The two rooms have a door in between, so there is possibility for privacy. My dad has back issues which is why we asked for a extra bed instead of sleeping on the sofa bed. The staff made that request possible. The room service was top standard. Elegant products with nice fragrance, slippers, bathing rope, daily water bottles. The staff made us feel like home. They showered my 2 year old with love and attention, so every morning when he woke up, he couldn’t wait to get out of the room to greet them. The owner gifted him apples and he ended up guarding the apples with his life. One apple even made it back to Denmark. We also had a nice chat with the owners dad on the rooftop, who gave us an interesting insight in Turkish politics. Thank you both for taking your time to give us a authentic experience. Breakfast is delicious and various. Would have been nice if it lasted until 11 - our son slept in almost every day, so we had to make a little plate for him, he could eat in the room once he was awake. The location is super; few minutes walk to tram line and metro line. Neighbor to grand bazaar, sultanahmet and Haifa Sofya mosque, 5-10 min walk to mehmetpasha shopping street and Egyptian bazaar, 15 min walk to tokapi. Everything is so easy to reach from Fer Hotel. We took a yellow taxi from airport, around 400 Turkish lira but he dropped us of 1,5 km from hotel claiming cars could not enter. it was possible, he just needed to take another/longer route. Hotel ordered taxi to airport for 500 Turkish lire and the taxi picked us up in front of hotel. For public transport we bought the Istanbul card (50 lira), which can be bought and filled with money at every single tramway and metro station. We were 3 adults who shared one card.

Beautiful Hotel in the heart of the Tourist Centre. Close to all the historic attractions. The hotel was well managed, well maintained, and clean. It also had friendly and helpful staff.. Ps of you were like me trawling through endless reviews of hotels trying to decide where was safe etc. Look no further, you'll be happy with this choice. We stayed 3 nights.

The location is great: 10 minutes walk to AyaSofia, 5 minutes walk to Kapali Carsi, 1 minute walk to tram station. Safe area to walk. Car parking for free, underground, at the hotel premises, secure and handled by the hotel. Breakfast definitely worths adding to your stay. Delicious, good variety and top quality. Most of all I have to mention that the staff was amazingly helpful and polite. Special thanks to Mr Fatih and Mr Onur for their kind help with our car, all the information we requested as first time visitors at Istanbul and their honest smile. We will come back. We recommend this hotel without hesitation.
