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.
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.
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.
Good budget hotel...room was very clean and was equipped with everything you need. Lift goes up only to the 7th floor so if you are given the 8th floor rooms, you will have to lug your luggage up 1 floor. Located 5-7 minutes walk from Point Hotel stop for Havabus and Havaist. So location is great!!
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.
We booked this hotel for 4 nights for our family, but unfortunately, the conditions were so poor and the hotel was so dirty that we simply could not continue our stay.
After the first night, we contacted customer support. Even though we were told that a refund for the remaining 3 nights was not possible, we still decided to leave the hotel, accept the financial loss, and book another hotel for the rest of our stay.
The cleanliness, condition of the room, and overall quality were far below what we would expect from any hotel. In our opinion, this property did not even meet the standards of a 2-star hotel.
The fact that we preferred to lose the money for the remaining three nights and pay again for another hotel says enough about how disappointing our experience was.

Faros hotel was normal hotel, mainly clean, but the steet where Faros hotel is located is very durty place and durty peoples.
The hotel should be 3 stars and not 4 stars!. With a rate of 7.5/10 max.
About the breakfast it was to cheep! Below the normal with some items.
After 7 days, I discovered that taksim square and istanbul in general are very durty places and also very expensive! People are very bad and not frendly at all!
I don't recommend at all to make vacation in Istanbul.
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.
