The only downside would the front rooms are right on the tram line so quite loud until late at night. We asked to be moved to a back room and the staff were extremely accommodating.

The staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for you. Bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was really lovely too. Perfect location

Nothing.

Great location for restaurants and tourist spots walking distance. The staff were amazing especially when my partner had a medical emergency in the middle of the night. The help from Murat, Ali and Jacob was amazing. Their help and concern eased the stress. We recommend this hotel to anyone going to Old Town, Istanbul. We will be staying again on our way back from Europe to Australia. It will be like going to a home away from home. Look forward to seeing the staff again soon. Carol and Michael 😀💕

Noise till the late hours from the restaurants below,and trams, but that is due to the central location.

Very central location, within 5 minutes walk to all best attractions, for that the hotel is great. What’s not so great that is quite noisy till the late night, but other than that very good.

Very clean hotel, very close to all tourist attractions and 50m from the tram station. A good restaurant and an extraordinary tersa. 10-point staff, and Hamza an extraordinary boy.

It is located right in the middle of all the cool tourist spots. And guess what? It's literally surrounded by tons of shops and cafes. Also, there's this pedestrian area nearby, just a short walk away. It's packed with amazing restaurants, and the vibe there is incredible — lots of live music and such a lively atmosphere. It's like the perfect spot to hang out and soak in the city vibes.

nothing

location, staff, cleanliness, they provide transportation card for metro, tramway and bus. you can't find better location in Sultanahmet better than Faros hotel, it's very close to restaurants, shopping, metro stations, and if you get bus from the airport you get off in Aksaray station then you walk maybe 15 min to your hotel.

Everything was good

The location is in the old town, very close to all the interest points. The bus station is in 10 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The furniture was a bit old, but the room was very clean. The towels were changed every day and the room cleaned. The restaurant was lovely, the food was delicious (if you are staying in the hotel you can get a -20% off) and the staff was very pleasant and polite.

The staff, even before we arrived, were very attentive and helpful. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The location was superb! It's very centrally located and the tram station is just outside the hotel. The hotel restaurant is one of the best we went to - we dined there every night since we arrived. One of the best dish is the garlic bread!

Rooms could definitely do with a lick of paint.

The location is truly fantastic, we were close to all the main tourist sites. Murat was brilliant in helping us work out where to go and what to go.

A bonus would be a bathroom light that shines on one's face (re: applying makeup).

Faros Hotel Old City is an absolute gem. Its central location means that so much is within easy walking distance. My room was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant is outstanding and offers a broad array of dishes all beautifully presented. But best of all was the staff from the front desk (Murat, Jakob, Omar, Dimer) to the cleaning lady (Hulya) to the restaurant. All individuals were delightfully helpful, always smiling, and so hardworking. I definitely intend to return. In short, I highly recommend this hotel if you want your Istanbul stay to be a truly comfortable and memorable experience.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location couldn't have been more perfect, situated in the heart of the city with easy access to attractions and amenities.The staff truly made my stay memorable with their exceptional level of service. From check-in to check-out, they were incredibly helpful and polite, always going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed.The room itself was comfortable and cozy, providing a relaxing retreat after a busy day of exploring. The bed was plush, and amenities were thoughtfully provided, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. And let's not forget about the breakfast – it was delicious! A variety of options were available, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, it's the perfect choice for a memorable and enjoyable stay. I'll definitely be returning on my next visit to the area.

Maybe it doesn't happen frequently, but I'm lactose intolerant, and they didn't have any vegetal or lactose free milk for breakfast, so I had to go to Starbucks next door every morning for my coffee with oat milk.

The hotel is located in the very center of Estambul. The staff extremely helpful, very kind.

Noisy as the trams pass by 10meters away and if your a light sleeper like me it’s a problem.

Close to all attractions

The hotel is very central so the common areas are a little tight (breakfast area etc), the wifi in the bedroom could be improved

It was vibrant, clean and convenient, the room was bright and spacious. It is a well managed hotel and the staff are very helpful, I even got takeaway breakfast for my early departure.
