FERAH OTEL

This single room is in city centre, you can walk to Bazaar in 15 mins or to Hagia Sofia in 30. Also buses are very close. It's in safe neighborhood, as a solo female I had no problems, although I would usually be in hotel by 9pm. Lots of cheap and good places around to eat, like one next door, and there is a supermarket next door as well. Room has single bed, wardrobe, fridge, kettle and some coffee and tea. Towels and soaps provided. Bed linen and duvet were super clean, bed comfy. Wifi was good. Lots of extra blankets in wardrobe. I definitely recommend.

As in all hotels, noise wise, it's mostly how lucky you are with neighbours, walls are thin but it wasn't too noisy and I'm quite sensitive. Almost no noise coming from outside, at least in my room, it wasn't facing street. It gets quite warm with heating on. But honestly, for that price and location, nothing I really didn't like. Only thing I could smell sometimes is cigarettes coming from elsewhere, room itself was smelling nice. But make sure you ask for non-smoking room.

Cheap, cheerful, clean and safe. I was a solo female and seemed to be the only female guest staying there but felt very safe. The room had a decent TV (with BBC news channel), a fridge, kettle and ensuite. Everything I needed. The linen was spotless.

Nothing. The area around is small alleyways so would maybe feel a little less safe after dark.

The hotel is located in the Fatih district, one of the few where you can still experience the most authentic Istanbul atmosphere. It is close to the Haliç metro station and in the surrounding area there are supermarkets, bars, bakeries/pastry shops, kebap places where you can eat cheaply. The hotel is a simple structure (it seems recently renovated with windows that isolate well from external noise) and equipped with all the essentials (there was also a very useful fridge in the room). Bathroom and sink a little small. In any case, good value for money. Staff friendly and helpful, especially Can the owner, a really very kind person.

I had a lovely 3 night stay. My room was very clean with a nice big window that opened. The fan was perfect for cooling the room down. The bed was comfy. Having a fridge and a little freezer was amazing. The man at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. I was lucky enough to have a room that looked onto the river. The bathroon did have a smell from time to time - I guess that is an issue in older buildings and was easily solved by keeping the door shut. Also the sheet on my bed wasn't fitted so it did slide around a bit. But for what I paid for that location these were very minor issues. As a single older woman I felt very safe in the hotel and in the area even coming back to the hotel very late at night. I would definitely choose again.

This is best place within budget for a solo traveler. Room was quite Clean with comfortable beds and required amenities. Honestly i did not expect a freezer and TV in the room in such budget hotel. Location is exceptionally good since metro station and restaurants are nearby. The owner is a very kind hearted person and is always open to support you when needed. I became sick during my stay and he helped me in many ways like a brother . I wish them good luck !

Good heating, comfy bed, towels toilet paper soap shower gel flippers warm blanket provided in the room. Got wifi after asking for code at reception (bit weak signal sometimes). They let me keep backpack behind counter for rest of day after checking out.

Can hear the people in other rooms and on the stairwell really loud. Shower isnt separated from rest of bathroom by anything so whole floor gets wet (not too much of an issue just a heads up) hot water and good pressure though. Reception staff during check in didnt speak english, the one in the morning did speak english though. Managed to get all I needed anyways despite language barrier (they were very friendly nonetheless).

Excellent shower. Comfortable mattress and adequate heating. Good view onto the street for people watching. Coffee/tea/kettle & fridge provided.

Bed sheet was too small. I slipped and fell down the stairs after they were mopped. There was no signs out to alert guests. The manager ensured I was okay. Signs were present thereafter. Regardless of signs be careful especially if you’re an older person.

The room is nice and cosy perfect for short stays. I liked the neighbourhood although it's not probably the fanciest in Istanbul, but felt quite authentic and the hotel is within walking distance to helic bridge with nice views. The hotel personel are very friendly and kind.

I asked for non smoking room, and the room itself smelled nice. But sometimes when the window is closed, some cigarette smell could enter to the room from somewhere. I left the window open and had no problem though.

the location was good near bus station and metro Halic M2, also Eminonou/ YENI CAMII/ The Egyptian bazar is about 15 min walk, you will enjoy your walks the street is full of markets, local restaurants and cafes. The neighborhood is popular but calm at night. The staff were really nice, "Can" speaks English, he is very helpful and reachable if you have any concerns. I really recommend this hotel for a solo traveler with economic budget.

in general everything was good

A cozy room with everything I need! Clean and comfortable bed, strong water for shower, thick toilet paper, decent Wifi. Omg, even some "boutique" hotels cannot be this good, but this tiny and cozy room did everything! The staff is also friendly and helpful! He tried his best to let me check in earlier. Thanks!

It's perfect. Maybe small but still great.
