Everything good about this hotel. Reception help a lot. I think it’s renovated, non smoking hotel. Love it. Room spacious, linens all clean, got elevator. Breakfast was good. Near to bus to the airport & taksim square

We arrived at 9am after a very long trip and they let us in before the room check-in time! The breakfast is very good and complete. The room, on the 8th floor, clean, new and spacious. The hotel workers are very helpful.

Das Zimmer sieht zwar so aus wie auf den Bildern, jedoch waren wir mit dem Hotel nicht wirklich zufrieden. Am ersten Tag hatten wir keine frischen Handtücher, es befanden sich Haare und Flusen darin, genau wie im Bett. Generell kam uns das Zimmer nicht wirklich gereinigt vor, da wenn man sich ein kleines bisschen umsah, man überall Dreck/Haare/etc. sehen konnte. Die Putzmädchen waren auch wirklich unfreundlich zu uns, wahrscheinlich weil meine Frau kein Kopftuch trug. Wir mussten uns immer böse Blicke gefallen lassen. Generell waren auch die Leute an der Rezeption (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) recht unfreundlich und grüßten nie. Die Lage des Hotels ist zwar sehr gut, da es am Taksim Platz liegt, jedoch war es dafür die ganze Nacht lang sehr laut. Die Lüftung war ebenfalls sehr laut und machte die ganze Nacht quietschende (wie ungeölte Bremsen) und unangenehme Geräusche. Genauso waren die Wände sehr dünn und wir dachten, wir liegen mit unseren Nachbarn in einem Bett. Das Frühstück war zwar qualitativ okay (bis auf den Pulverkaffee), jedoch war es für uns kein Frühstück, sondern eher eine Art Vorspeise. Es gibt nur Weißbrot und ein paar türkische Dips, 4 Sorten Oliven, Rucola, nichtmehr frisch aussehende Wurst (1 Sorte) und Käse, getrocknete Früchte, Äpfel, Orangen, Joghurt und Müsli (gut möglich, dass es noch etwas mehr gibt, jedoch fällt es uns nichtmehr ein). Zum Trinken gab es Leitungswasser (warm), Cay, Milch und Pulverkaffee. Wir waren an keinem Tag wirklich gesättigt oder zufrieden mit dem Frühstück. Es wäre besser gewesen, das Geld bei der Buchung zu sparen und in den anliegenden Restaurants zu frühstücken. Außerdem ist es für einen Europäer ein wirklich gewöhnungsbedürftiges „Frühstück“. Beim Aufzug hatten wir ehrlich gesagt Angst, dass wir irgendwann stecken bleiben würden, dieser ist auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Schade war auch, dass man die oberen Stockwerke nicht mit dem Aufzug erreichen konnte, sondern immer zu Fuß gehen musste. im übrigen würde ich Ihnen empfehlen den Balkon nicht zu betreten, kann man sich dort wirklich nicht mehr sicher fühlen konnte. (man siehe die gegenüberliegenden Häuser, welche bereits in sich zusammen brachen) Insgesamt kann ich sagen, dass wir uns nicht wirklich willkommen gefühlt haben und, dass falls wir noch mal nach Istanbul kommen sollten, wir uns ein anderes Hotel aussuchen würden. Wir hoffen, dass wir einigen Leuten mit unserer Bewertung helfen konnten.

In my opinion, this hotel is underrated, it is located a minute or two away from Taksim Square and Istiklal St. The hotel itself is clean, and the rooms at least the one that I stayed in offer plenty of storage and work space. The bathroom is very well separated from the room and the toilet and showers have their own space. The breakfast offers many different dishes including 2 or 3 hot ones. Staff are friendly, and the best part is that the hotel manager is present most of the time which oversees the operation of hotel staff members. I am not comparing this hotel with Divan or Shangrila but at this price or even at a bit higher range, this hotel is very practical and competes on top of the list.

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.

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.

Only few hundreds of meters from the Taksim square. 6 minuttes walk or so from the metro station. Room was large, clean and with a nice bed. Breakfast buffet acceptable. It was quite noisy in the evenings, with music from a party place nearby.

It was total value for the amount they charged per room. The breakfast was a decent spread. The rooms were neat and clean. The staff were always helpful. Isa the manager was the best part of the stay. Always helpful, kind and ready to give genuine advise. Thank you team for Faros and Isa for making our stay great.
