Otel taksim meydanın bir arka sokağında kalıyor metro tranvay ve vapur hatlarına merkezi noktalara yakın.

Otel çalışanları yardım sever.Otelin önünde ve üstünde otopark mevcut aracınızla çok rahat giriş çıkış yapabilirsiniz. Otelin ve odanın sıcaklığı çok iyi Gündelik veya uzun gezilerinizde güvenle konaklana bilir. Havaş gibi turistik otobüsler hemen yan sokağından kalkmakta Fiyat güzel Eksikleri Otelin Ses yalımı yok.

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!!

I was appalled by this place. After staying at over 10 hotels in the last 2 months I couldn’t believe it. The staff are so rude. I pointed out problems with the room such as holes in the floor, dirty beds and a strong smell - however, the staff were so rude to laugh and not take any responsibility. Not only this but they were talking about us in a rude and impolite manner to each other - not knowing we speak fluent Turkish and can know exactly they are saying. I reccomend everyone avoids this place

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.

Oda yeterliydi, duş ve sıcak su mükemmeldi. Çarşaf gayet temizdi ancak havluda lekeler vardı. Oda zemininde bir önceki ziyaretçiden kalan saçlar vardı. Oda zeminindeki parke çok yıpranmış, yer yer aşınmıştı. Kahvaltı ve otel genel kullanım alanları gayet yeterli ve güzeldi.

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.
