It was central to all the main historical/cultural points of interest taking little more than a few minutes to reach any of them e.g Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque etc. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and room cleanliness was excellent - which is one of my top criteria when staying at any hotel. |

Absolutely hassle-free. Quick check-out, good advice about public transport. Very noisy. My room was above a Starbucks - wooden chairs scraping on stone floor - and facing onto a busy street with trams clanging down it from 05.00 to midnight. But I requested a quiet room away from trams at time of booking so obviously the booking notes do not get passed on (else get ignored). |

The excellent location made visits to key places very easy. Two of our party have walking difficulties so location was very important. Staff were helpful and efficient. The hotel felt Turkish and was small but atmospheric and very clean. The advantages of the hotel heavily outweighed any difficulties. We are elderly and struggled with the shower/bath. One of our party could not get into the shower at all because they could not scale the height of the bath. There were no handles to steady access into and out of the bath. The beds felt very hard and there was nowhere to sit and read outside the rooms except a table in the entrance. In wet weather this could be a problem. |

The Faros hotel is in a wonderful position for visiting all the tourist attractions. The staff on the desk were extremely helpful. The room was spacious with good airconditioning and though there was a lot of noise outside the insulation of the windows was great, we had the air con on with windows closed. There is no lounge area to sit, the shower is very small ( you have to get out to pick up the soap if you drop it) and we were not happy with the tour company (Senkron) they reccomended,their pick up times can be 1 hour late and our estimated return from Gallipoli of 11.30 turned out to be 1.30 am. And we dont pay for tours to spend an hour or so at a Carpet shop!! |

Hotel was in the old city so i was able to reach all historical monuments very easy. Hotel was also very quite so also no problems with resting. There was only one blanket but we were 2 persons and after asking for one more we didn't get it. |

great location 1. After 2 days, hotel maner requested us to move to a small room for other family guest, which is his problem not ours. We rufused it and he was so much angry and did everything to bother us during the whole stay.( for example, he tried to charge phone call which we never uesed). 2. Airport transportation fee to hotel is too expensive considering the services provided. |

Good central location. Bar and restaurant facilities are good. The views as advertised are not always evident from many of the rooms. The corner suites are worth paying the extra for. |
