The staff was very friendly and helpful; the room was very small, the balcony also, but we enjoyed the tiny slice of Bosperuos we could see from it. The location was perfect next to the tram-station. Breakfast was good.

great location. very accomodating and friendly staff! make sure you confirm your booking as well. I arrived there to be told they had no record of my reservation from the travel agent. They found me another hotel which was not so nice for my first night and then made up for it for the remaining night.

The hotel was really nice, with a great room, good breakfast and friendly staff. It was also comfortable that the hotel was situated close to almost all tourist places. We managed to do almost all of the tourist places in one day. The second day we went out to the Prince Islands and just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery.

Dear Gudrun S,
In the name of all the Faros Hotel Istanbul, let me first thank you for your comment.
As the size of the room is concerned, in all the city of Istanbul, most of the hotel rooms have the same size as ours. It would be difficult to find something bigger for the price we are asking. Also,...

Faros Hotel is great assuming you don't have any issues. We stayed at Faros in early May, and loved the accommodations until we had an issue with our room. We had originally requested a room with two beds, but they assigned us to a room with only one upon our arrival. We called for a room switch, and they did...

Everyone was very helpful and did their best to make us comfortable. The only thing that rankled was the noise from the street, we overlooked the street and tramway. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay, thank you Erkut for all your help and sorry you were not there the day we left, we wanted to say "thank you".

we were here between 14 to 17 april, 2012. The rooms are small which is probably the norm in this area, but the location of the hotel was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. Had a good time. But apart from the accomodation, nothing else to do in the hotel.
