The breakfast at the hotel was amazing with a huge variety of food and great coffee. The staff at the attached restaurant and breakfast room were excellent, providing excellent service. We enjoyed eating at the restaurant multiple times as the food was good. The housekeeping was excellent and the bed was comfortable. The location of the hotel was superb, right near a tram station, making it convenient to explore the city. We appreciated the mini fridge, regular provision of water, and the fruit plate. The presence of a safe, desk area, and seating area were also great additions. The small reception and elevator for 2 with bags were useful.
Felt like they were family, nothing to complain about.

The room was also very comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, including a mini-bar and in-room safe. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi, and the hotel's restaurant offered delicious food.
If you're traveling with family, I definitely recommend this place. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the location was central to everything we wanted to see and do.

The hotel is conveniently located near all the main attractions in the Sultanahmet area, making it easy to explore the city. The Sultanahmet tram station is just a short walk away, providing easy access to transportation.
Some guests have reported noise issues from the street, which can be disruptive at times.

My recent stay at Faros Hotel was fantastic. The location is unbeatable, within walking distance of all major attractions in Sultanahmet. The staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast selection was fresh and delicious. The hotel also offers family rooms, which is a rare find in the city center. Despite some minor drawbacks such as unstable wifi and outdated rooms, the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for its unbeatable location and great service.

The staff was friendly and helpful, arranging early check-in, airport transfers, and even packing us a breakfast to go. the location was also convenient, with major sights within walking distance.
The rooms were old and tired, not at all like the photos. the bathroom had mold and damage.
