Nice start to our vacation. Will start off with the positives: Area was excellent. Many bars, clubs, and eateries within walking distance of our hotel. Enjoyed the fact that the hotel was not in an area that was too congested and was a little off to the side (will appreciate that when your trying to sleep). You also get a... More

I really wanted to write a nice review for this hotel, and will start with the positives. I stayed for four nights in April while attending a conference that was held at the Hyatt. The rate at this hotel was about one-third of the rate at the Hyatt, so that was nice! The staff was friendly. The location is a... More

This is a great hotel, with staff who are really friendly and helpful. Our room was a good size, stylish and equipped with everything that we needed. We were staying during the protests in Taksim Square and felt that the staff really looked after us. The location is fantastic, very close to literally hundreds of restaurants and bars and well...

I stayed in this hotel for 4 days in early June. My stay started 1 day after the Taksim square protests started, but I contacted the hotel and they were running as normal and to be honest, when in the hotel, you would have no idea, the square was only 200 metres away. It is a friendly small boutique hotel... More

At first glance, this hotel comes across as not upto standards of a 4 star as advertised. But once you go inside the room, you realise that it is a luxury / boutique hotel. Very good amenities. Nice breakfast every day. Good sized rooms too and comfortable beds. Location is perfect too, being very close to Taksim square.. I have... More

This is a fantastic boutique hotel very close to the action of Taksim, but with enough distance to have a decent nights sleep. The staff are very friendly and more than willing to please. Prior to my arrival I was a little nervous that the hotel was too close for comfort to the protests taking place in Taksim. They were... More

We stayed for only one night before our early morning flight back home. We chose it because it is close to the Havatas airport bus pickup at Taksim Square. However, the street it is on does not feel as safe and the adjacent buildings are not as nice as those a bit closer to the square. The reception and porter... More

Very good location. The hotel was good, very clean and quiet location. The breakfast was good with both tourkish and european tastes. The staff very helpfull, but did not speak english. The only negative is that it was rether expensive.

We arrived at the Faros pretty late in the evening; they sent a driver to pick us up at the airport, and he was on time and professional. Although our online reservation confirmed a room with two beds, the desk person said that none were available, which was upsetting. They promised one the next day; however, one of the other... More
