Just returned from Istanbul.We stayed at Faros Taksim Hotel. The hotel is well located, 350 m from Taksim Square, which is an important junction for buses (in the tunnel or above), M2 subway, F1 funicular ; to all directions, including Istanbul airport. There are many small shops and restaurants nearby. Be noted that it is also Faros restaurant with Italian profile, excellent menu, the best pizza, pasta like in Italy, the resturant is 400 m from the hotel. It should be noted that hotel customers have a 15% discount on menu. We stayed in the quadruple room, two interconnected rooms. A large, bright room with 3 single beds, TV, air heater, bathroom with toilet and shower, a kitchenette with bottles of water, mini fridge. The other room has a double king size bed, also with TV, air heater and bathroom with shower. It also has bottled water, a coffee maker and sachets of instant coffee, coffee creamer, tea, sugar. Very hospitable everything. The cleaning ladies are very attentive. For example, at first night we had approached together 2 single beds and next day the ladies arranged them with a double mattress on top , so we rested even better. All beds are high, with memory mattresses, very comfortable. The breakfast is good with eggs, salads,great various cheese, fruits, vegetables, milk, yogurt, tea, coffee at your discretion. I chose this hotel considering the proximity to means of transport, its location in Galata side but also because of the good reviews for meals. The staff at the reception is friendly, English speakers, full of kindness, they recommended the best options and transport links for the objectives we wanted to visit. Only 2 things would be negative, but it is not the hotel's fault, they are not to blame. - There is a night club somewhere on a parallel street with music all night long (starts after midnight until 4 o'clock). But the rooms' windows are insulated and if you close them, the noise comes to silence. - And mosquitoes in the rooms, but we faced this all over the city of Istanbul , at the Blue Mosque ,at Topkapi ,on the shores of the Bosphorus. We bought a mosquito spray from the nearby pharmacy and solve a liile bit the problem. We felt very good , everything is well organized, I recommend this hotel and bravo to the entire staff for their efforts to keep everything clean and organized.
