The staff were helpful and friendly. We were able to check in before 2pm which was great.
The location is close to everything including the blue mosque, Sultanahmet, Beyazit, topkapi..
Noisy room. We could not stay one minute in our rooms from the sound of the tram. It helps to close the windows but we needed them for ventilation.
No lobby in the hotel, it is directly connected to the restaurant/bar.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Arranged early check in, airport transfers, even packed a beautiful breakfast as I had to leave in the middle of the night. The location is good and within a short walk to the major sights. Nice balcony.
My room was old and tired and not at all as presented on photos. Comfortable enough, as I was just passing through. The wifi in my room was intermittent and as was hot water.

All was good but would have liked a bed sheet instead of just sleeping under blanket.

The location of hotel is definitely perfect, near to Aya Sofia and tram station.
The staff was more than friendly, I have only good words for them, especialy Emre bey. If I ever come again to Faros, I will come because of the great staff.
The bathroom could be a bit more clean.
8.0
Great location among tourists attractions and transport stations, the tram line is at the door. Restaurant in the hotel. Helpful staff.
Breakfast could be more diverse. My room was much smaller than stated and of a strange shape, with a window only through a bathroom. No table in the room as it was originally indicated on the pictures and in the description of the room when booking.
The hotel was under renovation with noisy and dusty works going on on my floor - though it is rather positive for the hotel itself.
The fridge in the room didn't work properly and I had to through away some food.
I would stay in the hotel again, but in a different room.

Suddenly, there were no tap water (at all) in the bathroom closer to the night, so it was not possible to take a shower. It reappeared only on the next day.

Perfect location to see all the top attractions in Istanbul including Ayasofoya, Sultanahmet Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar. Equidistant between 2 Metro stops and close to many food and shopping options.
Showers and washrooms are not the fanciest but they are clean and sufficient for a short stay.
