    tiny balcony
    lack amenities

    What a letdown at faros! The 'complimentary' shampoo was nowhere to be found unless I begged for it, totally ridiculous. And don't get me started on the tiny balcony, barely enough for a cat to sit. I almost considered a good review but the lack of special treatment ruined it for me. I expected more, honestly.

    accommodating staff
    limited breakfast options
    overpriced taxi service

    The staff was accommodating to my needs.

    When we arrived, there were no toiletries provided in the room, which left us scrambling to ask for basic shower gel and shampoo. The breakfast options were very limited. I also felt that the taxi service they arranged for us to the airport was overpriced and took too long to arrive.

    Great Stay Near Taksim!

    We had a blast here! The staff was super friendly, especially Mr Hüdo who made our mornings awesome with hot coffee. The rooms were comfy and clean, and the lobby had a cool vibe. The only thing was the breakfast could've had more variety after a few days. Definitely a great spot for exploring!
