It's a clean and comfortable boutique hotel, we had a nice time staying there. Noise was minimal except the occasional slamming door from other rooms (and ours too probably). Noted the bathroom was an intimate design, a separate toilet room from the walk-in-shower, both with glass door. The day time manager was friendly and helpful, thank you Hasan; in fact,... More

This small hotel is located only a few steps from the busy Taksim Sq and the exciting Istliklal Caddesi, where you can shop 'till your drop! In my opinion, this is the best place to stay, because it is where all the action takes part, this is where the locals go. Near the hotel you can find everything: shops, mini-markets,... More

All the staff at the hotel are really helpful, before we arrived they arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport (landed at 1am so just wanted a stress free route to the hotel), and whilst we were there the guys on reception...

We stayed at Faros for 7 days including over the Easter weekend. Had a great time, great location (away from the most touristy parts of Istanbul) so you can feel a little bit more relaxed. Hasan and the gang were great, they are so relaxed and just get the job done! Would recommend this hotel for anyone who is visiting... More
