The hotel (including the restaurant and breakfast buffet) and the location were plenty awesome for our first trip to Istanbul, but the staff went above and beyond with their helpfulness and friendliness; we really hope to stay here again someday.

Stayed for 10 nights, loved the staff and the location is excellent. The outside restaurant is really great to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Omar the manager is also very helpful with tours and the best Turkish Hammam with a discount too. Will for sure stay during my next visit.

Edward, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. It’s lively and in the heart of Sultan Ahmet, close to the Grand Bazaar. The hotel is small but clean. I wouldn’t recommend for families with small children as it is a bit noisy when the trams go by. The breakfast is average. The staff are kind.

10/10 Exceptional

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Faros and my overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. The staff at Faros surpassed expectations with their warm hospitality and attentiveness. Every request was handled promptly, and their genuine dedication to guest satisfaction was evident throughout my stay. Hotel is centrally located and is 5 to 10 minutes walk from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Museum two minutes from the Sultanahmet tram station. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, convenience, and impeccable service during their stay.
Shariq, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Such a charming little hotel with very friendly staff and a perfect situation. Unfortunately very let down by the cleanliness of the restaurant but mostly the rooms. The hotel is in desperate need of redecorating and will then be a very nice place to stay. Such a shame. I hope they get it right.
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Bad experience
The Rooms are old, renovation work with high sounds, unclean towels or bed covers
Kamal, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed at the Faros in early October 2023 for a four night break. Really lovely staff and excellent location for major sights - easily walkable or tram stop very near by. Note: poor access by taxi if that is your preferred mode of transport as area is mostly pedestrianised. Not a problem if on foot or using the well priced and convenient tram. I used the coach from the IST airport to Aksaray (136 TL or about £4 each way) then walked the mile or so to the hotel. Could have used tram if I had bought an Istanbulkart but couldn't find a machine at the airport). Breakfast was good from the continental buffet, but you had to ask for tea or coffee. The restaurant had nice food at tourist rate prices. The only problems I encountered were noise and music at night until the early hours (restaurants at street level directly below). Also, I had booked a standard double room through Expedia but was given only a tiny single (room 106) with no other rooms available. The aircon failed after the second night. I'd definitely stay here again if I could guarantee getting the room I had paid for.
