On approaching the Hotel , we were not impressed, the building next door was derelict. However, Hotel Faros itself was a well maintained building well decorated. The Hotel was clean and the room was slightly smaller than anticipated, but spotlessly clean, with a comfortable shower. The staff were wonderfully helpful and attentive. Breakfast was well laid out with Turkish breakfast fare. The location of the hotel is superb, once you get your bearings, it is literally 3 minutes walk from Taksim square. We would definitely stay again.

I was appalled by this place. After staying at over 10 hotels in the last 2 months I couldn’t believe it. The staff are so rude. I pointed out problems with the room such as holes in the floor, dirty beds and a strong smell - however, the staff were so rude to laugh and not take any responsibility. Not only this but they were talking about us in a rude and impolite manner to each other - not knowing we speak fluent Turkish and can know exactly they are saying. I reccomend everyone avoids this place

I asked for a refund and they refused. So I booked somewhere else. I thought Taksim was far so booked another hotel in Sultanahmet. The hotel didn't even refund despite us not coming to the hotel and informing them way in advance.

We stayed 2 nights. The rooms was very clean, Bed was comfortable. The staff at the front desk were helpful. The breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The only problem I had was the noise. There is a club close by that payed loud music until 4:30AM. It was impossible to sleep. The hotel is close to Taksim and will definitively recommend as long as you take ear plugs for the noise.
