Fairmont Quasar Istanbul Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont Quasar Istanbul holds a failing F Roch Rank, and that grade is worth bearing in mind before you get drawn in by the smart, glossy image the hotel projects. On paper the headline point is simple enough: most rooms are dog friendly, so you and your dog can settle in together in the majority of the property's accommodation rather than being shunted into a token handful of pet rooms. That is a genuine convenience if you are travelling with a small dog and want a normal choice of room type, and it is really the one strong card the hotel has to play. Beyond that basic access, though, there is little here to suggest the hotel has built any real character or warmth around dog guests, and the failing score reflects a stay that is workable rather than welcoming.
Day to day, the practicalities are thin. There is no dog bed, no bowls for food or water, no dog food available to buy and no free treats waiting for your dog, so you will need to bring everything yourselves down to the last biscuit. A refundable damage deposit is charged on top of a dog fee of 25 euros plus 20% VAT, and since the hotel would not confirm the deposit amount to us, you are left committing to an open-ended sum against very little in the way of confirmed extras. There is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no grooming, no poop bags provided and no staff trained for canine guests, so anything beyond a place to sleep falls entirely on you. Your dog may stay in most rooms, but nothing practical is laid on to make that stay easier.
The restrictions matter as much as the absences. A weight or size limit of 34 lbs rules out larger dogs outright, and only two dogs are permitted per room, so this is not a stay suited to multi-dog households or bigger breeds. Your dog cannot be left alone in the room at any point, which means your days have to be planned around near-constant company rather than any freedom to slip out unaccompanied. There is no bar, restaurant, terrace, lounge, garden or dedicated dog space your dog may use, no dog wash area, no nearby green spaces flagged, and no walking route guidance, so exercise and routine are entirely your own problem to solve in an unfamiliar city. Given the vague deposit and steep fee for what little is actually provided, this stay suits only the owner of a single small, calm dog who wants nothing more than a room to sleep in and is happy to supply everything else themselves; anyone wanting genuine dog friendly extras should look elsewhere.
