Hello,
I am planning on spending few nites in Istanbul this July. Is Sultanahmet or near Taskism square a better location to stay, considering I will visit both areas? Any opinion on Faros Sirecki hotel, Tasmak Sultan hotel or hotels near Taskism?

Is there a budget or price range you want to keep within?
It just sounds to me like you're throwing out names of hotels, kind of like a dartboard of the city.
If you search this board, you'll find several posts that compare/contrast the merits of hotels in Sultanahmet and the Taksim (note the spelling) Square area.
Good luck!
