Fer Hotel

Booked this hotel for location and because the had a treadmill. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast was awesome. Shower was amazing. Comfortable rooms. Very quiet.

I often come to this beautiful city and this hotel is the best, with excellent staff, impeccable service, located in the most central place it could be!!!

Lovely hotel, lovely staff special mention to Ibraham for being so thoughtful & caring. The cleaner on floor 3 can’t remember her name was the sweetest & very jolly.
Breakfast was good selection, plenty of everything.
Room was very comfortable & well appointed. Bathroom was lovely also, equipped with shampoo , conditioner, shower gel etc..

Hotel is very well situated just a couple of streets from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace & Basilica Cisterns.
Would I stay again…absolutely!

My wife and I stayed at the Fer Hotel for the second half of our 30th Wedding Anniversary Trip to Greece and Turkiye. Unfortunately, we got robbed on the day we left for Istanbul from Athens. What awaited us was the very best of Turkish hospitality, kindness, and love.

The Fer Hotel upgraded our room when they found out about our anniversary and moved us into a lovely suite. They made sure that we lacked nothing during our stay, ensuring that we were able to get around Istanbul - even offering a paid Istanbulkart so we could make it around town.

I understand that tipping is part of the etiquette. Despite being able to offer them nothing, they opened their hearts and arms out to my wife and I. A big and special thank you to Selinay, Kemal, Seyit, Onur, and Ibrahim for showing us the best of humanity and the people of Turkiye.

You will always have a special place in our hearts! Thank you! God bless you all!

Plenty of food, always fresh and adding new things avery day, any time from opening to closing. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fer hotel is a small luxury hotel located in Sultanameht, central Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Tokapi palace, Basilica cisterns are all within 15 minutes walk. The T1 tram line is within 10 minutes walk away. Not far. They are a previous winner of a Best Luxury Hotel in Turkey for 2018 by the International Travel Awards, and also winning the "Best Luxury Boutique Hotel" category in 2021.

Pro: The service at this hotel is absolutely amazing! They go way above and beyond any normal 5 or 6 star award. On my last day on my holiday, I got stuck in a 20 minute downpour at the Tokapi palace. My only pair of shoes (sneakers and, shoe inner soles) and only pair of trousers got completely soaked. 100% water. Yet I had only 60 minutes to my check out time and had to depart to the airport that evening. I came to the hotel reception at Fer Hotel and explained my predicament.

At this point, I really must give the highest praise Miss Selinay, Mr Ibrahim and the un-named lady from Fer Hotel housekeeping. By an absolute miracle, they somehow took my 100% drenched trousers, my drenched trainers/sneakers, and inner liner of my only pair of shoes. Somehow either tumble dried and/or ironed them. And somehow got my clothes 100% dry within 60 minutes. This allowed me to check out of the hotel, get to the airport and ultimately fly home! Absolutely amazing! The hotel even managed to “adjust” my late check out time on multiple occasions to buy me more time to get my trousers and shoes dry enough to check out. Otherwise I would have had to check out and go to the airport in my underpants, socks and a pair of white hotel slippers which would have been shocking and scandalous to say the least! Thus I’m enternally grateful to Fer Hotel that they came through for me when I was in trouble. Otherwise, I would have had to flown on an international flight today in white hotel slippers and under pants as I would have no dry trousers to fly in! Thank you Fer Hotel for coming through for me!

Cons: Fer hotel is a bit small. They lack a swimming pool, but they do have a gym that is open 24 hours a day. But that’s the only con really! Wonderful scrambled eggs at the morning breakfast buffet. And they can do any omelette to request in the morning. One small observation is that it seems they suggest to avoid drinking the local tap water. Thus all hotel guests are given 2 bottles of mineral water a day free. Am guessing this is a city wide recommendation, to avoid drinking the tap water.

In summary, there are the usual good reasons about why you should stay at Fer Hotel. Namely it’s an award winning luxury hotel, in a central location, and near all the major tourist attractions in Istanbul. But sometimes, they do something that is absolutely amazing. And I really have to hand it especially to Miss Selinay and Mr Ibrahim. She and her team really came through for me when I had a really wet and damp laundry emergency within the last few hours of my trip to Turkey. And it’s a sign of the hotel’s professionalism, care, attention to detail and service that really shows how they shine! Well done Fer Hotel! To conclude, if you want to stay somewhere where the staff care. And you want proof, I have it. Go to Fer Hotel. You won’t find better service in the city. From people who really care about you. Well done Fer Hotel! I will definitely stay with your hotel again when I am next in the city. From a very happy and grateful hotel guest who got back home safely from his very enjoyable trip to Istanbul :-)

Our visas were delayed but the hotel reception was kind enough to understand and postponed our booking dates. From the beginning
we were very pleased with the staff, the hotel and the people there in
general were very kind, accommodating, welcoming. We really appreciate and very overwhelmed with kind of warmth and regards we got in istanbul.

Well placed hotel with easy access to the tourist attractions. There are many currency exchanges close by.

This hotel prides itself on helpfulness, friendliness and super cleanliness.

A special shout out to the front desk team who are professional, courteous and tried there best to solve all our needs.

The smiley man in the front (IBRAHEEM) warms your heart with his calm and friendly demeanor.

This is a hidden gem that I would highly recommend.

In general a well located and clean hotel. I would avoid using the hotels front of house staff to arrange transportation.

Spent two nights at the FER hotel in Istanbul and found it to be very nice. The best feature of the hotel is that it is within walking distance of major attractions in Istanbul, including the Grand Bazar, tram, and beautiful mosques.
The hotel itself is located on a narrow one way street, which can be very busy in the morning. The staff of the Fer hotel were very friendly and accommodating , including providing good advice regarding itineraries.
The breakfast was good, but we were concerned about the lack of refrigeration for yoghurt and cheese. The staff in the breakfast were very attentive and gracious.
The room with a queen bed was nice, but we found the mattress to be too soft.
All-in-all, a very good choice for visiting Istanbul.

Highly recomended stay.
Friendly hotel stuff. Near to all city center atractions. Walking distance to bazar and other city shoping points.

We were pretty impressed with the service and stay at the FER hotel. The Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is super centrally located, very clean, provides great breakfast and kind, professional service. Sleep quality was great, the beds and pillows super comfy and they also have a pillows menu

PRO :Excellent location, the hotel is very clean. Rooms are large enough, nice to have a nesspresso machine and kettle. Good value, housekeeping is very good.
Cons: breakfast only starts at 07.30h, it would be better to start at 07.00h.
Breakfast has plenty of choice BUT not of high quality and all a little tasteless, bananas had been frozen ! And skin was split so not very hygenic.
On the first day, our room had a strong smell of deodorizing spray which was incommoding. On 3rd and 4th day, there was a very unpleasant smell emanating from the bathroom, we could not identify where exactly it came from but pretty bad…
Not sure if I will go again… I might for the good location.

We enjoyed our stay in istanbul. Good central location with well maintained facilities. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I recently had the opportunity of staying at FER HOTEL in Istanbul. This was part of a tour I booked. However, I would like to point out that the hotel was wonderful, good location, good breakfast and EXCELLENT front desk staff. They were super attentive and helpful. We had very early flights a couple of days and they prepared great take away breakfast bags for us. I highly recommend this hotel, Had a great stay there. Thank you front desk staff!!

The central location was within easy walking distance of most attractions and shopping. It felt very safe and the beds were so comfortable! We slept amazing.

Fer hotel exceeded our expectations. A very modern hotel with high class finishes. Helpful, friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast. Close / walking distance to most tourists attractions. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent hotel, location is very close to grand bazar and very close to Sultan Ahmet and Aya Sophia mosques and having very supportive staff and very satisfying breakfast

It was a very pleasant stay, with some particularly friendly receptionists and clean and tidy rooms. The only flaw is that the staff were kind and discreet, the rooms were quiet, and the blackout curtains were perfect. If we really had to find one flaw, it was the fact that no one spoke Italian.
