    tiny balcony
    lack amenities

    what a letdown at faros! the 'complimentary' shampoo was nowhere to be found unless I begged for it, totally ridiculous. and don’t get me started on the tiny balcony, barely enough for a cat to sit. i almost considered a good review but the lack of special treatment absolutely ruined it for me. i expected more, honestly.

    accommodating staff
    limited breakfast options
    overpriced taxi service

    The staff was incredibly accommodating to my needs.

    I had a frustrating experience during my stay. When we arrived, there were no toiletries provided in the room, which left us scrambling to ask for basic shower gel and shampoo. the breakfast options were very limited, making it hard to enjoy the first meal of the day. I also felt that the taxi service they arranged for us to the airport was overpriced and took too long to arrive.

    Great Stay Near Taksim!

    We had a blast here! The staff was super friendly, especially Mr Hüdo who made our mornings awesome with hot coffee. The rooms were comfy and clean, and the lobby had a cool vibe. The only thing was the breakfast could've had more variety after a few days. Definitely a great spot for exploring!

    great location
    poor breakfast variety

    We had a grand stay! The location is just perfect, only a short stroll to Taksim Square. The room was clean and comfy with a lovely view. The only downside was the breakfast could use a bit more variety after a few days. But overall, it was a mighty experience!

    I especially appreciated the retro design throughout the hotel, with antique furniture and inviting decor that created a warm atmosphere. The spacious lobby and easy accessibility made my stay enjoyable and stress-free.

    magnificent breakfast
    super clean rooms

    lovely, lovely, lovely

    I can't stop raving about the magnificent breakfast buffet, which had everything from fresh pastries to delicious local dishes that made my mornings! Our room was spacious and impeccably clean, and I couldn't get enough of the comfortable beds that ensured a great night's sleep. The proximity to Taksim Square allowed us to dive right into the city's vibrant culture and explore a variety of shops and eateries within minutes!

    can recommend 😍❤️

    The Faros offers a comfortable stay with clean rooms and exceptionally welcoming staff who are quick to assist with any needs. The Junior suite I occupied provided a stunning city view from the large balcony, turning my work trip into a pleasant experience. the hotel's location was perfect, placing me within steps of shops, restaurants, and public transport.

    The breakfast selection could be more varied.
