Super locatie en vriendelijk personeel!
Pros:

Gedurende ons verblijf zijn wij super vriendelijk en gastvrij behandeld. Het hotel en de kamer waren schoon en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt voor een verblijf in Istanbul. De centrale locatie is ook ideaal aangezien je zo bij de tram en ferry bent. In het gebied rond het hotel zijn ook voldoende lekkere eetplekjes. Wij voelden ons als familie van de gastheer en -vrouw en raden dit hotel zeker aan. Achteraf spijt dat ik niet elke dag in het hotel heb ontbeten :)

Pros:

La nostra camera era all'ultimo piano e la terrazza è stata senza dubbio uno degli aspetti che abbiamo apprezzato di più: tanta luce naturale e uno spazio extra davvero piacevole. La stanza non era grandissima, ma più che adatta per qualche giorno a Istanbul, soprattutto considerando la posizione comodissima e i collegamenti con il tram.
Lo staff è stato sempre gentile, sorridente e disponibile ad aiutarci per qualsiasi dubbio o richiesta. Anche la colazione ci è piaciuta: abbondante, con formaggi, omelette a scelta e verdure, perfetta per iniziare la giornata.
Siamo venuti diverse volte a Istanbul e ci è capitato spesso di trovare hotel che nelle foto sembravano impeccabili, ma che poi mostravano qualche segno del tempo o piccoli problemi. Qui, invece, abbiamo trovato esattamente quello che ci aspettavamo: un ambiente pulito, curato e ben tenuto. Unica nota, il bagno ha una porta in vetro satin, quindi chi tiene particolarmente alla privacy potrebbe trovarla una scelta un po' insolita. Per noi, però, non è stato affatto un problema.

Расположение супер, очень близко до станции Karakoy, удобно посещать и старый город, и погулять в европейской части. Дорога расположена вдалеке, поэтому тишина в номере обеспечена.

Convenient and quiet
Pros:

Istanbul is a total mix of really old buildings and renovated buildings, literally side by side. Fama is a nicely renovated building of only 4 stories in height. We were spoiled by the delicious and big breakfast. On the second day we even asked them to make LESS food so that we didn't waste it. The hotel is located conveniently between the light rail tram station and the ferry terminal and walking distance to lots of restaurants. The front desk helped us book airport transportation. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in a quiet section of Karakoy.

Pros:

Das kleine Boutique Hotel im Herzen Beyoğlu‘s ist wirklich eine absolute Empfehlung! Die Gastgeber sind überaus nett und hilfsbereit und auf Anfrage haben sie für einen Geburtstag einen super leckeren Schokokuchen organisiert. Das Frühstück ist mehr als reichhaltig und authentisch. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und bieten genug Platz. Jederzeit wieder!
