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 2 glass doors that can be opened in the room. When you open the right glas door, it is secured by a glass wall, so a child won’t fall out unless you climb above. But the other glas door has no glass wall but instead a wooden wall, but it is located about 15-20cm from the glas door. Unfortunately we did not know this when we oppened both glas doors, so our son was very close to fall in between. Luckily we noticed it right away and grabbed him. Maybe you should just lock that glas door permanent so that it won’t be possible to open.

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.

There was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom in one of the rooms we booked, but the staff fixed it quickly. I think that they should look into the problem more, because it seems that they were already aware of it.

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.

Staying at the FER Hotel was a truly remarkable experience! From the beginning, the hospitality and attention to detail created a welcoming atmosphere that exceeded all expectations. Every interaction was met with kindness and care, making it feel like a home away from home. The rooms were absolutely spotless, beautifully designed, and offered the perfect balance of comfort and elegance. Every corner reflected thoughtfulness and a commitment to excellence. And the food? Simply outstanding! The location is unbeatable—in the city's heart, steps away from the most iconic landmarks. Exploring the area was incredibly convenient, with everything within easy reach. FER Hotel isn't just any place to stay; it's a destination where every moment feels special. A truly unforgettable experience that's a match!

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

We recuested to have a room in the highest level possible but we were provided with a room just on top of the reception. As the windows are not sound proof and people visiting the lobby area late in the night, after midnight, are talking loudly, it was very difficult to sleep. We complained to the reception but nothing changed. We had to leave with this problem during all our stay of 5 days.

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.

Only thing we didn't like was the bed. Too low as a bed, and the mattress was too soft for us.

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 ✅

Loved it all !

Close to Grand Bazaar and short walk to The Eminönü. The rooms are very clean and we had a very comfortable stay.

The breakfast could have been better, it was not great as we were hoping for more variety like sausages, roasted mushroom & grilled chicken or meatballs

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.

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.

The beds were extremely soft and the mattress was a bit lumpy. For myself this was just about passable, but if you have back or muscle problems this will absolutely not be suitable. It is also a very low bed. By the 3rd/4th night I was starting to really notice the softness. It’s quite difficult to set the AC/heating to just right, it tends to blow either too hot or too cold. But it’s easily adjustable and we just kept fiddling with it.
