Exceptional Stay
We would like to express many thanks to everyone at Faros hotel, they were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help my mothers wheelchair needs & mobility issues. The were kind enough to arrange our transport. A very friendly and genuine hotel service. The food was also very delicious with a lot of variety and the overall cleanliness was excellent. We would definitely stay again should the need arise.

Excellent Breakfast
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.

Small hotel with attentive staff, very good breakfast and close to Taksim square, only issue is that it is on a busy narrow road with an incline making it somewhat difficult with luggage.

It was a scam, whatever shows on the website pictures isn’t the hotel! They take you to some small hotel with awful spacing and old furniture! Never felt the urgency of leaving while staying! No refunds if you didn’t like your room. I wouldn’t even spend a dollar there, 1/10 on being there.
