Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Old wooden house, quiet in the night. Cosy room
Negative: The room is basically occupied by a large bed. There is not even a small desk or table to have a tea and open a laptop or book. You will stay on the bed most of the time. The room door has glass and is not very sound proofing, so it is cosy room yet not intimate.
Summary: Charming house, a bit tiny room.

Positive: My host Murat was very warm and helpful. I needed to go to the hospital during the trip, and Murat went above and beyond to support me with this. If you are looking for a place like a second home in Istanbul, this is it! :)
Summary: Best host ever!

Positive: We were very happy with our stay at Fener Sweet. The rooms are small but for the price in this part of Istanbul it was good value. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked well, as did the shower. And the room was very clean. Those are always our primary requirements when traveling. The host, Murat, was very helpful and lent us an Istanbul card for travel on the trams, and took us down to the Balat tram station on the first morning to show us how to top up the card. Fener Sweet is in a quiet residential area. It’s a fair uphill walk on cobbled streets to the house, so probably wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues, but for the active budget traveler, Fener Sweet is a good choice. There are many good restaurants and cafes at the bottom of the hill (about 10 minutes’ walk down).
Negative: Our only issue was that on our last night there were very noisy guests in the room above us who woke us up several times, but as accommodation hosts ourselves, we realise that accommodation providers have little control over the conduct of other guests, especially in old houses with wooden floors. But fortunately on the previous three nights the house was very quiet.
Summary: Enjoyed our stay and good value for money.

Positive: The house is a very charming brick house, house with history and very well renovated. There are not many rooms making it quite cozy. And the owner, Murat, he was extremely helpful and always just a call away responding immediately. He provided great tips regarding nice restaurants and Turkish baths in the neighborhood and with regard to transit area. Loved this area.
Negative: Nothing I didn’t like. I read up on the different areas of Istanbul and chose this because it has a local feel, not too crowded and touristy but great areas with fun shops and great restaurants. May not be the area for someone wanting to be in the crazy bustling center, which is nevertheless very accessible by bus, tram or, my favorite, by ferries that run frequently and are most fun.
Summary: Great neighborhood, clean stylish and comfortable with a great host.

Positive: Murat was my host and honestly, honestly, I say this with no strings attached, this was the best place. Top-tier location, top-tier facilities, such a sweet host, and so central to the metro, and buses! Go for it!
Negative: The entrance is just a tad bit hidden? Perhaps a sign that says, "the best stay in IST" :)
Summary: The best property in Istanbul for Solo/ Couple travellers!

Positive: This is my 2nd experience staying at Murat's, a very helpful and polite host who is always available to help you. He helped me book train tickets to Eskisehir and even kept my luggage at his place. A central location close to all commodities and public transport (05 min from the T5 tramway line, 15 mins from Eminounou sq. by Tramway) and 2 stops from the M2 metro line to Taksim. The rooms are very clean and authentic, in a unique neighborhood close to Balat and Fatih. I won't hesitate to come back on my next trip to istanbul.
Negative: The property needs some renovation work

Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location of Fener Sweet is ideal for exploring Balat (the old Jewish quarter) and Fener (the old Greek quarter), which are crowded and colourful. However, it's also within three tram stops of Sultanahmet. Murat at Fener Sweet is a wonderful host and could not have been more helpful and friendly. He even walked us to the local restaurants and ferry stop as the narrow, winding streets are confusing at first. The Fener Sweet rooms are tiny and crowded too, but charming and well-equipped. Definitely high on the list of quirky, fun places to stay.
Negative: The hotel is small and in a very old building, so some constraints on mobility could be a problem. Noise from other guests was a momentary problem too, until they left!
Summary: Quirky and delightful place to stay, with a truly exceptional host.

Positive: Murat and Chi Chi are the kindest, most caring hosts. I had a fall at the airport on arrival in Istanbul and they went out of their way to ensure my comfort. The old quarter of Istanbul is very quaint with all its colourful housing. Lots of tourists came there everyday to take their Instagram photos; but we stayed there!
Negative: Nothing that the hosts nor hotel could change but personally I found the steep hills and cobbled streets difficult.
Summary: Colourful, Charming and Ethnic
