I recently spent two days at the Faros Hotel Taksim (early May 2013) and recommend it highly. Just an easy walk to Istanbul’s famed Istiklal Cadsessi, this boutique lodging provides a quiet refuge that is easily accessible by public transportation (or will be again, once massive infrastructure repairs to the metro station are completed). The cleverly designed high-tech rooms are... More

I really enjoyed staying at the Taksim branch of Faros Hotel in May 2013. The service is really attentive and kind, beds were super comfortable and breakfast was quite nice too. Only drawback is it's located on the "wrong" side of Taksim square, therefore if you don't know the area it might look a bit dodgy and dirty - don't... More

So lets start with the positives the staff are professional and polite and the breakfast although continental is very good. However the Hotel itself attempts to be modern and fails miserably. It's difficult to understand why any hotel would be designed to look so unwelcoming and industrial. Rooms are small and although clean it's all very functional and not tasteful.... More

We've stayed here 14-17 Feb 2013, based on trip advisor trips and enjoyed it. The rooms were very clean, with cool modern interiors. Be prepared for rooms on the smallish side, it's a boutique hotel after all, and unless you're planning to spend your time in the room, then it shouldn't really be a problem.
