Review by hotel critic
My recent stay at Faros Hotel Old City was a delightful mix of comfort and convenience. The hotel's prime location near iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar made exploring Istanbul a breeze. The friendly staff, ever-ready to assist, added a personal touch to our experience.Although our room was basic, it was spacious and well-equipped, offering a cozy retreat after a day of sightseeing. The spotlessly clean accommodations provided a welcoming atmosphere, reflecting the rich history of the city. We especially enjoyed the breakfast spread, a delightful mix of local flavors.The hotel's charming ambiance, with bright rooms overlooking the lively Sultanahmet district, added to the overall allure. The one-way complimentary transfer from Atatürk International Airport was a thoughtful touch, ensuring a seamless arrival. Faros Restaurant, specializing in international cuisine, proved to be a culinary delight. I would recommend this boutique hotel to fellow travelers seeking a blend of history and comfort in the heart of Istanbul.
