Good

Good location, between Sultanahmet square and Grand Bazaar, on the main street of the Old City, great view from the balcony, friendly staff.

The room looked better in pictures than in reality. It was really smaller than expected, shabby, poor lighting, tiny bathroom. The only positive thing about the room was the balcony. The breakfast was under the expectations (e.g. the cup of coffee, that you should have ask for from the staff).

Very good

The hotel provides friendly and courteous service. Location was perfect to Topkapi, hagia sofya and other tourist attractions, takes less than 10 mins walk. Lots of restaurant nearby, got to try varieties of traditional turkish foods everyday. I still could not forget the soft aroma of a turkish tea, best tea I have ever tried! We also get to experience a whirling dervish show, it was just a few steps away from our room. Thank you Faros. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and awesome food. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Happy new year 2024

Wifi was like chipsmore better get your own simcardl
