Fer Hotel

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.

There are so many excellent things about this hotel: - the staff: they're always ready to help and are so gentle. An special thanks to Mr. Ibrahim; - the room: modern, spacious and the bathroom is excellent and everyday the amenities we're replaced; also bottles of watter; - the breakfast: amazing food and full of pastries, cakes and Turkish sweets. - The location: the best one! Very close to 3 important spots that you can go walking few steps: the blue mosque, the old market and the cisterns. The trains and busses are 1 min walk and takes you for all directions. For sure, the best hotel.

The location is excellent, close to the main touristique areas of Istanbul. The staff very friendly and supportif.

This hotel was AMAZING as a frequent flyer this is the kind of hotel I look for! Clean modern and located so close to the Historic parts. Everything was a 5 minute walk and the bosphorpus was 10min. The staff are so so sweet kind and helpful! Best hotel in Istanbul ✅

The room, staff, and location were perfect. The staff were very attentive and took care of any requests, especially Ibrahim, the manager. There was also a lovely young gentleman who helped with recommendations, always asked how our stay was going and advised on the best way to travel around Istanbul with young children. We also had the same cleaning staff during our stay, and she was brilliant. Always refreshed our room as we had our baby with us and took extra care of us. The extra touches were very welcome. The included breakfast was varied and there something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the selection of desserts on offer.
