It was very convinent. One of the staff said that he could arrange for free drop off since I stayed in the hotel for 6 days. On the day, he said it was not possible. The same staff, asked me my marital status, and while we were in the elevator alone, he pinched my face & said "You are beautiful." I found him inappropriate.

The location, the comfort of the hotel room. The restaurant serves good food too. Noisy it's right next to the tram line but once the tram stops operation, it's quite throughout the night.

This is one of the best boutique hotel we stayed, excellent location, staff, food, and the room size and comfort, best value overall. Particularly the central location is uncomparable, close to all major historical attractions.The T1 Tram in front of the hotel can take you to major sopts. Hotel staff is very nice to answer questins and offer help. I strongly recommend staying in Faros while vacationing in Istanbul.

The room was spacey, location excellent, good breakfast, friendly staff, may be a bit too expensive for the level of standard offered service in the restaurant of the hotel fair - we reserved the table but when we came the table was offered to somebody else, we were waiting long for taking the orders, bread was given in the end of the meal etc
