My stay at the Faros Hotel Sultanahmet was excellent. I stayed with a family of 5, one of the members was in a wheelchair. The staff were highly passionate about making their guests feel welcome. At the reception, both Suat and Erkut were excellent. They always brought a good positive feeling at both the start and end of the day... More

We booked this hotel because it was central to all the major attractions. It is within easy walking distance of the palace, the blue mosque and the Grand Bazaar. It is also right on a tram route. We had a big room overlooking the road, there was a little noise but this is only to be expected when you are... More

If you're after a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet on the main street (Divan Yolu) this would be it! After a hot day of touring, we dragged our bags a short distance from a side street where the tour bus dropped us (30 meters) and arrived at the hotel slightly hot and bothered and were immediately given...

He suggested places for us to visit and where to eat. He gave great advice and tips. Location was perfect. Room was comfy and AC worked amazing. Walkable to Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia,... More

Had holidayed in Istanbul in late May 2013. Had resided at Faros Hotel Sultanahmet over two stays of 3 days apiece. Loved the Hotel. Minutes from Hagia Sophiya and Topkapi. Tram station is a short walk away. The place is surrounded by restaurants and Baklava shops. Grand Bazaar is less than 10 minutes away. The rooms are spacious; the staff,... More

Faros Hotel is perfectly located within the historic heart of Istanbul. 5-10 minutes in walking distance you´ll find the most important places of interest as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. Tramway ist passing in front of the house, so all further sights are within reach The rooms are very nicely decorated and well equipped. Staff is perfect: Always... More

We booked the rooms over the internet and from our first contact with the hotel, we were very impressed with the staff. We stayed 4 nights and the price included a one way transfer from the airport. We were collected and transfered to the hotel very efficiently. The return trip was 30 Euros. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We... More

Traveled to Sultanahmet with my family of 4 and we stayed 7 nights. Please note my wife wears the NIQAAB and had no problems here at all. We were transferred to Faros from the airport with no problems. Even though there is a tram line outside the hotel, we were dropped right outside the front door. A very warm welcome... More

We stayed at The Faros in May, 2013 in a group of 3 couples. Our arrival was very early due to flights and the staff were very helpful storing our luggage and advising us how to find an early opening café. Over the next 4 nights the staff at the hotel proved to be extremely helpful giving us great advice... More
