Faros Hotel Taksim

"Faros hotel is 2 to 5 minutes walk from Taksim. It is more like a decent clean 3 star hotel where some very basic amenities (suitcase stand, body lotion, iron) were missing. There was no closet but small shelves. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom shower had good hot water with proper drainage. Daily Housekeeping facility with two complimentary water bottles. Hotel staff were always cooperative & helpful. Buffet breakfast was indeed good. No restaurant on site or room service. But there are nearby eating places. Outside hotel was very dirty & roads were broken with construction work ongoing. But the whole scenery changed 100 meters ahead. Daily loud music at nearby building during our 5 night stay caused disturbance in sleep."

"It’s been years kow that o stopped boking hotels and started taking airbnb instead, this year i had a busniness trip that was canceled last minute so i just bookee faros hotel in istanbul last minutes.. honestly it’s a good hotel, staff is helpfull smiling, welcoming and they speak arabic and english, my room was really clean, clean sheets, paper toilet, water eveyday was free and cooffe and tea was given everyday in a little kitchen in your room, the only problem i facedis the disco under the hotel that plays music until 5 am,, rhe first two days it was hard to sleepbut then i got used and because i was tiredi fell asleep,, breakfast was okay also fresh fruits, eggs, coffee salads, veggies etc I will be back for sure to this hotel"

"Very bad management and doesn't care about guest satisfaction, we booked and paid in advance for 5 nights 5 guests, we faced a problem in the airport and couldn't travel and we asked for cancelation refund, we asked to deduct for one night due to date of arrival passed already and refund the other 4 nights, they refused to assist us with a definite NO! Very poor way to deal with guests that lost every amount they spent on their short vacation! Never booking again its terrible management we spoke to the manager himself and he said ABSOLUTELY NO!!"
