Guest Reviews
- Googling (10/5): Great accommodation - Great place to stay welcomes you all verry friendly staff
- 735meralg (10/5): Best option for accommodation in Taksim - I have been Faros Hotel Taksim with my family, the staff is very helpful and so friendly. The hotel breakfast is delicious with variety of foods. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Highly recommend the hotel.
- ingie2026 (10/5): Very nice hotel - Very good Location near taksim square and the metro Excellent service Excellent breckfast resonable prices The room is clean
- William_ANZ (6/5): Average but good for a night or two. - This place was well organized, good friendly staff it was by Taksim square and istikal street. The hotel had 8 levels and a basement, guess what we were in the basement! No windows but so much street noise! The room was quite fancy and clean except for the beds, i hate to be fussy but there was a small brown mark on the sheet. The room was quite average for the price a small minibar, a safe, hangers... It was good just for sleeping there. The breakfast wasn't bad, again average. Yet there were quite little tables, and the room was quite loud filled with other guests. Rapping it up, it was okay not bad rooms not bad breakfast not bad location, but i forgot to mention how bad the Wi-Fi was IT WAS NON EXISTANT!!!!!
- 2gillr (2/5): Noisy , in a bad area - In a bad area just off Taksim Sq, A very very noisy night club opposite so no sleep. Air conditioning did nt work so v hot. Breakfast weird. Fairly clean but room very small.
- alisonhF668GA (4/5): FOR THE ATTENTION OF IGLU CRUISE CUSTOMERS - Note to IGLU cruise customers Do not let them put you in this hotel if you are staying in Instanbul following a cruise. This hotel is definitely not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are very small. We stayed there for 2 nights following a weeks cruise on queen Victoria and with 2 suitcases there was no where to put them. The wardrobe had no full length hanging space and the floor in the bedroom was cracked and peeling. On one side of the bed there was a chair, no bedside table and on the other side a stool. The view from our window was of a completely decaying derelict building. The other window had a curtain drawn over it and when opened it was just boarded up with plyboard.
- connect2afshan (8/5): Decent clean 3 star hotel - 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.
- nesrinemab (8/5): It was a great experience - 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
- Caleb (10/5): - Nice boutique hotel located near taxis square. Rooms are chic and staff is very friendly. They have a really good breakfast as well.
- Shehryar (6/5): - Good location. Very walkable. Helpful staff.
- Syed (10/5): - Excellent places to live. Very courteous and friendly staff
- Salah (10/5): - Not the first time will always come back
- Flyer48987901022 (2/5): BAD AND POOR MANAGEMENT! - 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!!
- sahar (2/5): - 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
- Mehdi (6/5): - It was not as clean as expected.
- Danielle (2/5): - Don’t do it, terrible hotel
- Mehdi (6/5): - Average and old building.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - There's a lot of music sounds coming all night, Breakfast not fresh. My biggest problem You can easily hear the sounds in the next to you other room, Location very good close 5 min walk taksim. For family not good because to many Arabia people walk in otell, but for single person fine cheap anyway Thank you.
- Shamaila Ali (2/5): - I asked for a refund and they refused. So I booked somewhere else. I thought Taksim was far so booked another hotel in Sultanahmet. The hotel didn't even refund despite us not coming to the hotel and informing them way in advance.
- s_sharif67 (8/5): Very good - Good location. Excellent customer service. Rooms are quite big size. High speed WiFi. Taksim square and Istiklal street are just 3 minutes walk. Breakfast is average though. Metro station is 5 minutes away. For the price, it’s worth staying there.
- Salah (8/5): - Very good hotel excellent stuff
- scotsguy5 (8/5): Comfortable & Clean but not 4 Star - The Faros was to us by Iglu cruises as a 4 star hotel as part of our cruise holiday. The hotel is definitely not 4 star. That said, the rating on the sign at the hotel was ‘special category’ and our room was very comfortable, if a little dark, and it was clean. There was a kettle and tea/ coffee in the room. The furniture in the room was functional/ industrial. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast had plenty of choice- something to suit visitors different cultures. The street is a bit off putting with what look like derelict buildings and rubble about and the front outlook is a bit grim but it is close to Taksim Square and transport links.
- Nalini (10/5): - 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!!
- Uzma (10/5): - Nothing luxurious but nice clean hotel , with everything close by
- LuminitaS (10/5): Excellent stay in Istanbul,Faros Taksim Hotel 4* boutique hotel - Just returned from Istanbul.We stayed at Faros Taksim Hotel. The hotel is well located, 350 m from Taksim Square, which is an important junction for buses (in the tunnel or above), M2 subway, F1 funicular ; to all directions, including Istanbul airport. There are many small shops and restaurants nearby. Be noted that it is also Faros restaurant with Italian profile, excellent menu, the best pizza, pasta like in Italy, the resturant is 400 m from the hotel. It should be noted that hotel customers have a 15% discount on menu. We stayed in the quadruple room, two interconnected rooms. A large, bright room with 3 single beds, TV, air heater, bathroom with toilet and shower, a kitchenette with bottles of water, mini fridge. The other room has a double king size bed, also with TV, air heater and bathroom with shower. It also has bottled water, a coffee maker and sachets of instant coffee, coffee creamer, tea, sugar. Very hospitable everything. The cleaning ladies are very attentive. For example, at first night we had approached together 2 single beds and next day the ladies arranged them with a double mattress on top , so we rested even better. All beds are high, with memory mattresses, very comfortable. The breakfast is good with eggs, salads,great various cheese, fruits, vegetables, milk, yogurt, tea, coffee at your discretion. I chose this hotel considering the proximity to means of transport, its location in Galata side but also because of the good reviews for meals. The staff at the reception is friendly, English speakers, full of kindness, they recommended the best options and transport links for the objectives we wanted to visit. Only 2 things would be negative, but it is not the hotel's fault, they are not to blame. - There is a night club somewhere on a parallel street with music all night long (starts after midnight until 4 o'clock). But the rooms' windows are insulated and if you close them, the noise comes to silence. - And mosquitoes in the rooms, but we faced this all over the city of Istanbul , at the Blue Mosque ,at Topkapi ,on the shores of the Bosphorus. We bought a mosquito spray from the nearby pharmacy and solve a liile bit the problem. We felt very good , everything is well organized, I recommend this hotel and bravo to the entire staff for their efforts to keep everything clean and organized.
- Ijaz (10/5): - Best 4 star hotel with best pricing and comfy rooms.
- Ruaa (10/5): - Very nice stay I recommend this place clean and near to everything Staff was amazing
- mohammadmM5554BF (10/5): Recommended ! - Its a very well located and beautiful hotel ! The staff are very friendly. They dont know english very well but they are professionals at their jobs. I got our room with like 50% discount (limited offer) so it was a great experience considering the money we spent ! The only problem was the noise from the next room, especially in the morning . I called the reception for it and they gave them a call. We were on the 4th floor, despite the sealed windows there were noises from close clubs until 4am , it was tolerable Oh and very nice breakfast ! It was delicious with a wide variety . About 3-4min to taksim and there you could go anywhere you like with bus, metro or tramva Overall it was a very positive experience for me and my partner
- baha (6/5): - Need renovation
- Mahdiyarp (8/5): A hotel that is very suitable for its price - A hotel that is very suitable for its price near Taksim Square A clean hotel Very good breakfast Employees with good manners and good attitude Excellent room care and cleanliness Normal view Of course, my room was on the third floor I think the basement has a room that may not have a view or a window
- Shahrokh (4/5): - Room wasn’t the room that I booked
- Cerine (10/5): - Large family room and clean. Good location. We will stay again.
- dam00nm (10/5): Under rated hotel - In my opinion, this hotel is underrated, it is located a minute or two away from Taksim Square and Istiklal St. The hotel itself is clean, and the rooms at least the one that I stayed in offer plenty of storage and work space. The bathroom is very well separated from the room and the toilet and showers have their own space. The breakfast offers many different dishes including 2 or 3 hot ones. Staff are friendly, and the best part is that the hotel manager is present most of the time which oversees the operation of hotel staff members. I am not comparing this hotel with Divan or Shangrila but at this price or even at a bit higher range, this hotel is very practical and competes on top of the list.
- Souad (10/5): Exceptional Stay - We would like to express many thanks to everyone at Faros hotel, they were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help my mothers wheelchair needs & mobility issues. The were kind enough to arrange our transport. A very friendly and genuine hotel service. The food was also very delicious with a lot of variety and the overall cleanliness was excellent. We would definitely stay again should the need arise.
- Maral (6/5): - Not satisfied overall.
- Sharmila (8/5): Excellent Breakfast - We stayed 2 nights. The rooms was very clean, Bed was comfortable. The staff at the front desk were helpful. The breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The only problem I had was the noise. 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.
- H6241DPjoannar (8/5): Great stay - We had a nice stay, lovely turkish breakfast, friendly staff The staff really made our stay pleasant and were always available. Very convenient location to Taksim square The rooms were comfortable, reasonably priced hotel.
- 440hiteshd (10/5): Total value for money - It was total value for the amount they charged per room. The breakfast was a decent spread. The rooms were neat and clean. The staff were always helpful. Isa the manager was the best part of the stay. Always helpful, kind and ready to give genuine advise. Thank you team for Faros and Isa for making our stay great.
- Khalid (8/5): - Small hotel with attentive staff, very good breakfast and close to Taksim square, only issue is that it is on a busy narrow road with an incline making it somewhat difficult with luggage.
- carolk384 (2/5): Rude staff, disgusting rooms - The problem started at check in when the guy who did it treated me like I was a nobody. He was on his phone and made me wait 5 min and then he said “ what do u want” ! I had my backpack on me so clearly I wanted to check in. He was extremely rude to a point I wanted to change the hotel right away but it was late when I arrived. Then, I went inside of the room. It was dirty and it smelled like cat pee. The bathroom area seemed like it was never cleaned. The room was nothing like the pictures and it’s not a 4 star hotel! It looks like a cheap, dirty road side motel. The area is also not good! It’s a dirty bad area. Don’t stay there just because you are on a budget! There are better hotels with the same price where u are not going to be treated like trash and the rooms are gonna be clean. Just don’t be fooled by the pictures.
- Gulzar (8/5): - Nice clean hotel, however the area is very lound neighborhood. Friendly staff and great value for the price.
- Jalil (10/5): Japanese style in Istanbul - Nice rooms, clean, nice staff. I would add omelette station for breakfast. Japanese style wood work in the rooms. Thanks! Will come again.
- nenadp336 (10/5): Taksim adventure where everything is close and you are connected - First of all , we had a good welcome from Faros, as they sent a driver , so it was convenient for us to feel Istanbul on our way to Faros. Rooms are clean, food was great, reception guy was so helpful.
- huntertwinkle (10/5): 5 star service - Faros hotel taksim is a boutique hotel that gives a 5 star service. The location can’t be beat. The best part are the hotel staff from Isa the manager to reception staff, bell boys, housekeeping and kitchen crew. Convenience of location from airport to Istiklal, Galata and Taksim are all accessible on foot. When in Istanbul, stay at Faros Taksim Hotel.
- amrhalima (2/5): Very bad attitude of the staff - I reserved for two nights and the cleaning team knocking the door on me and kept coming in and even they entered my shower while I was showering. The management didn't accept to reimburse me for the second night as I wanted to cancel my stay. I would never recommend this place
- aminsmd1369 (6/5): Average hotel - generally the hotel is Average it has advantages and also things which i find them weak; the location is very close to Taksim Sq. and also to the istiklal street however noises are undeniable at nights ( neighbours are partying all the time and in the other hand voices from Mosque ) . the breakfast was average however all crew was friendly. regarding to the rooms i have to admit it was small with no working desks. also notice that rooms in 8th floor doesn't have elevator. in the other hand if you are getting to hotel from Airport please notice that you can also use Autobus from airport to taksim sq which takes totally 40-45 minutes which is an advantage. in the end it is not like a whole 4 star hotel but also you will not face any real problem. costs and quality meets them self in a good place.
- 790farzanaha (4/5): Average - The room was average,def not the cleanest. Breakfast was also very limited and average. However the gentleman at the front desk was friendly. Hotel is central and really close to taksom square. Rooms are incredibly small and even though we booked a room for two adults and a kid we had to share one double bed for all three of us..
- adam (8/5): - Great location
- Sam (10/5): - Amazing location
- Maryan (8/5): - The staff was great, the breakfast was okay, the room was very small.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The room was so small, toilet and shower are open to the room.
- Salma (8/5): Very Good - Was vey nice stay calm and comfortable, istiklal road was by walking distance. There was problem for the internet so I couldn't able to connect so was very sad I will come back again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good staff
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The staff was very helpful and kind. The location of the hotel was great, literally less than 5-minute walk to Taksim square.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - It was a scam, whatever shows on the website pictures isn’t the hotel! They take you to some small hotel with awful spacing and old furniture! Never felt the urgency of leaving while staying! No refunds if you didn’t like your room. I wouldn’t even spend a dollar there, 1/10 on being there.
- Ahmed (2/5): - The bed was uncomfortable and awful, path room design have no privacy!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location. Easy to walk to square and sites.
- Hafed (4/5): - location close to central Istanbul noisy and not 4star hotel
- Craig (4/5): Poor - The room was really big and very close to the Centre of Istanbul. Room was ok, it was so noisy, the cleaners talking so loud in the morning, you could hear everything from the rooms next to you. One night at 3 am staff were banging on the door in the next room to me for ages and kept ringing the telephone and is was loud, Why? I do not know. I had really poor sleep at this hotel, the breakfast and service was very poor.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I like the staff. Very professional and helpful. They was no problem to get the room at the arrival day although we arrived at 12pm. The day of departure, we had a n early flight from Sabiha airport, so we had to check out at 6.45am. The Receptionist offered to make sandwiches for us as the breakfast opens at 7.30am. That was very appreciated.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The bathroom was opened to the room and not fully separated from the room. Towels very very old. Much noise.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location good manager and stuff very clean room very close to taksim square
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I like the stuf very good location very good hotel food and stuf
- Ahmed (4/5): - To be honest i was very disappointed concerning my stay in faros hotel
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was excellent .. the first day i was shocked when i saw the reception area it was not what i expected. But then we went to the rooms and it was great and the service is excellent.
- SARAB (8/5): It was fine - The hotel was fine but it was too noisy, lots of noises at 6 am
- Verified traveler (6/5): - when i arrived at airport i called the hotel and they told me that ur booking has been canclled, later told me to come and give us a very small room
- Tha'er (10/5): - The staff were professional, friendly and very kind. They always offered extra help and care. The stay was pleasent and the rooms were very clean. The hotel itself is small with very few rooms which makes a great calm environment.
- Arash (10/5): - The hotel location is perfect. And In that area when you compare price with the other hotel it is so good.
- mahmoud (10/5): Rereshing trip - It was amazing

- Afnan (8/5): - It was a bit difficult finding the hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very close to the square but they need to take care abit more of the cleaning
- Dan (10/5): - My wife and I always stay at the Faros Hotel when staying in Istanbul. Not only is it in walking distance to Taksim Square, it has 2 restaurants in the area where you can have a lovely cuisine (Mediteranean or Kebap) and as a guest at the hotel you will receive a 15% discount. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Always there to help make you feel welcome and attended too. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy, showers are powerful. The breakfast is always full of variety also. A great experience for all.

- rayzeid (6/5): Average hotel - We had a room for 2 and the room size was a little bit small. I did't like the fact that the toilet had 3 partitions. It wasn't very comfortable. Staff are friendly. Breakfast wise the options weren't much but the quality of food was very good. And location wise it's ok.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice hotel , close to taksim square (2 min walk) . Friendly Staff and helpful . I recommend it
- Traveller (8/5): Very good, minor issues - The hotel's location is great if planning to stay around Taksin square. 3minutes walk yet also provides a calm space to escape the day's noise and crowd. The hotel maintains a new modern feel. The rooms are a bit smaller than shown in the photos. The bed is huge and the rooms have a lot of natural light. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and non intrusive. It's very good for short stays and reasonably priced.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Very friendly and helpful staff ! Gave us a late checkout on request and alwags there to give a hand for every thing! Very close to taksim square so definitely a great bet for the price you pay. Loved the room layout
- Susan (8/5): Clean and Friendly - I felt at home there. The location was great. Clean rooms, nice and quiet environment, warm and friendly staff made it a lovely place for me.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - no privacy room separated with thin wall u can hear all time the other room talking....
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean hotel in town centre - We slept there one night & it was very comfortable. Good location for easy travel to major sites & shopping & early bus travel to airports. Our room was spacious & had everything we needed. We had to leave very early so did not experience the breakfast.
- James (8/5): Functional hotel with everything you would need - I was in Istanbul for a conference at Boğaziçi University. I chose Taksim when I found no hotels near the university that were affordable, and because Taksim is so central to the city. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. The room was always cleaned and tidied beautifully. It even had a nice view over the city since I was on the 7th floor. I would recommend researching your travel options thoroughly before arriving in Istanbul though. While the hotel staff helped me as much as possible, the bus system is a bit of a mess, and very unclear if you do not know Turkish and have never visited the city before. I spent 3 hours trying to find my bus the first day, before giving up and walking 6 miles across the city just to see that there was a metro stop right outside the university, and another one in Taksim square. In general around Istanbul, there is a distinct lack of signs, maps and other little features that are helpful for the visitor. But no problem if you know before you go and do a few minutes' research on the internet.
- behzad (10/5): love the area - Staffs were perfect and helpful
- Anon (6/5): Good value for money - Pros: Affordable price for a decent room. While room wasn't large, it was comfortable. The hotel itself is clean and modern. The service is friendly. Cons: There are so many noises from the hallway and outside that it was close to impossible to have a good night's rest. Everything from noisy neighbors to cats meowing and roosters crowing could be heard throughout the night. The wifi was really close to non-existent.
- Habib (10/5): Nice hotel - Overall it was nice
- Youssef (8/5): Great People at Faros Taksim - a very lovely and sophisticated hotel, people working there are truely amazing people, made my stay a great stay,thank you so much Isa, Zahir and Hasan, I would definitely come back next time i visit Istanbul!
- Rajai (8/5): Close to the center of Taksim - I was on a work trip. What i needed for a short stay was there.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Place/Nice Staff - We had a very nice stay at the hotel. The hotel staff was very helpful and our room was very nice. The only problem we had was that the internet service was sub-par. Besides that, everything was great.
- Stephan (2/5): Dirty, Bad location, worst housekeeping! - Booked this hotel last minute, very disappointing, I got given a twin room even though I specifically booked a double. The room had a really bad smell, I asked for someone to do something about this but for a 4 day stay nothing got done. Had a black long hair in my bathroom and even showed it to the housekeeper but like the smell this stayed right there for the entire stay. I didn't even try the breakfast as the downstair restaurant looked dark and dirty. I would never ever stay in this area or hotel again!
- eman (10/5): Highly reccomend - Exactly what we were after, very clean, great location only minutes to the metro and popular istiklar street but also quite and no noise when going to sleep. The rooms are on the smaller side but time is not to be spent in the room. We did also have a great view. The staff were the most friendliest and helpful. Would definitely be back.
- Sumayya (10/5): Good clean hotel. Central and Value for money. - Was for work and leisure. Very central location. Excellent service and v helpful staff. Rooms were well kept/ clean. Lovely breakfast. Negatives: single beds are small. Toilet and shower connected to bedroom with frosted doors. Not so private if with friends.
- adam (6/5): Nice hotel close to Taksim area - Problem with the washroom made it bad experience but the hotel staff are very helpful and very nice.
- tyler (8/5): A very satisfactory stay. - Want a pleasant, comfortable and welcoming boutique hotel? Choose Faros. Situated just a few minutes walk from the Taksim Square and the popular of Istikal strip you are never far from the action. The staff are ever so helpful and and very familiar with city and its best offerings. We were suggested the Bosphorous Strait boat tour and highly recommend this trip, we had a blast. They also provided us with a free shuttle to the historic Vezniceler Turkish Bath's which were affordable and quite the experience compared to others we'd seen. Would we stay here again? Totally.
- Caleb (10/5): - Awesome little boutique hotel with great location and customer service. I always stay here when I am in Istanbul. Rooms are modern you will not be disappointed.
- Patrick (6/5): Hotels in Istanbul - A clean hotel in a central area. Area however is run down and noisy. Opposite a car park. Hotel is quite small so noise from other guests travels e.g. door slamming. Staff very kind and helpful.
- AL (10/5): Nice hotel near metro - Great break and breakfast hotel close to downtown. The hotel staff is very helpful, they offered us trips to landmarks in the city.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel next to Taksim square - very helpful and cooperative staff. The room is a bit small though.
- Joel (8/5): Comfortable Taksim hotel. - Comfortable hotel. Room was a bit noisey, both from the street and internally. Nice lobby/reception area. Generous Turkish breakfast. Friendly and helpful front desk.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - very friendly staff , clean hotel & most importantly it is located in the center of taksim area , just 2 min walking distance from taksim square.
