Grand Hotel Faros

Was looking for a cheap hotel for a short stay and as such I didn’t expect much. However I was pleasantly suprised, pool area was the stand out for me, the room although basic was clean and the cleaners were attentive (although there was a high rate woman kicking off about towels also from UK -Bournemouth/Brighton ) The reason this place has a higher rating than I would normally give is the staff. Although they were all great have to thank Serkan who seemed to run the bar (and everything else) made everyone feel like this was a five star! A little tip for all of you are just popping somewhere and have the ability and are just popping out on your own, download the app ‘BEAM’, as there are loads of E-scooters which cost next to nothing and are fun … tip for this is use something like PayPal instead of you card as I paid just as much in transaction fees as I did in fares which could have been avoided. That being said, don’t quote me on this but it was around 8 pence per minute. Not a place I’m taking the kids for a family holiday but a great base for exploring with knowledgable staff to point you in the right direction👍 Hope this helps as a true reflection

Visited Grand Faros Hotel 9th June 2023 Never again.. went to Izmir for surgery for 3 days came back to Hotel for last 2 days, the day I went home I went to put my clothes on what was laid on the spare bed to find my River island jeans missing ( had to travel home in jeans as I had to wear support stockings for plane) searched everywhere in my room and emptied my case twice. When I confronted the receptionist staff they didn’t give a Sh@t they brought the house maid to me we went to room to look & she near as damn it said I was lying! Then all I got was stares from her ! They definitely took my jeans only cleaners go in your rooms! Internets a big problem never working! Breakfast ok ! I would stay well clear of this hotel!

Where do I start, hotel had no wifi and when it did work it worked for about 4 minutes. When asked if they could fix it they said “we tired to help and can’t” but others in the hotel had wifi. Breakfast was like they had just taken a crash course. My aircon was working when it felt like it. The pool on the other hand was good as was the location. There was a free pool table also. We were handed a drinks menu that said 17 Turkish lira and then got charged 170 per drink and more. “Oh sorry the menu is from four years ago” but by far my worst think about this hotel is the manager. Rude, unkind and not fit to run a hotel.
