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 ✅

Really good, clean, modern and spacious hotel. We booked the suite which was exactly like the pictures. There was absolutely no outside noise, which can be a pro/con- if you want to be able to hear some hustle/bustle and sounds like the athaan, it won’t be possible in these rooms. On the flip side after a busy day in central it was really nice to have peace and quiet. Really clean bathrooms, full amenities including shampoo conditioner etc, coffee machine, bathrobes/slippers. Good hot water pressure with a daily clean. Very modern lighting system which was nice to play around with. The front desk were really helpful and very quickly accommodated our nightly requests for ice and chai. We were fasting and the hotel accommodated suhoor brought to our room each night at our requested time, which included a lovely big flask of chai and an assortment of food. They kindly accommodated requests for additional items to be added eg, orange juice, eggs and sausage. We did attend the breakfast on the last day and it was a lovely assortment of savory and sweets. Not huge but more than enough. Overall we were well looked after and we had a comfortable stay.
