Εξαιρετική
Pros:

Το πρωινό ήταν πολύ πολύ ωραίο με παραδοσιακά τουρκικά προϊόντα . Η Χαντιτζε και τα δύο παιδιά ήταν πολύ ευγενικοί και προσπαθούσαν να μας εξυπηρετήσουν στο μέγιστο

Estadía en hotel Fama Karaköy, Estambul
Pros:

Estuvimos 6 noches en Fama Karaköy, destacamos fundamentalmente la atención de todo el personal y la señora que sirve los desayunos con una amabilidad superlativa , la ubicación genial , cerca de todo , a un paso del puente que une Eminiu y Karaköy, habitacines con todo lo necesario para una estadía perfecto para poder salir a pasear todo el día y traer regalitos a cada rato al hotel jajaja , y la limpieza impecable
Volveremos sin ninguna duda nuevamente si tenemos la posibilidad
Saludos cordiales desde Argentina!!!

Cons:

Cafe da manha não é comum. Não tem iogurte frutas suco. Somente um tipo de pao. E ovo é frito.
Sugiro não fechar com cafe, e decidir la se você gosta ou não. Caso contrario, perda de dinheiro.

Pros:

We arrived early thursday morning so 24hr reception was great. This was around 5am, the plan was to roam around until a breakfast cafe opened but the employee at the desk was able to give us our room early. This was amazing.

Overall:
The bed was comfortable, room small but clean, good shower.

The breakfast was fine - assorted cheese, bread bakest and spreads plate, coffee/tea and fresh eggs.

The employees were awalys kind, free water and tea at resquest. Location close ro metro and easy to get around.

Cons:

Room on the 4th floor was quite warm had some trouble sleeping due to heat.

Hôtel propre avec personnel agréable mais chambre et SDB trop petites et manque d’intimité
Pros:

- Personnel très accueillant et chaleureux
- Emplacement idéal pour découvrir Istanbul en quelques jours
- Petit déjeuners très appréciés

Cons:

- La taille des chambres (beaucoup trop petites)
- Salle de bain très étroite (absence de patère pour les serviettes) et vitrée sur la chambre sans intimité (notamment pour les WC)

Excellent séjour
Pros:

-La propreté des chambres
-le confort du lit
- la proximité avec galata pour la partie animé
Avec Eminonu pour le tram, bus pour se balader à Fatih et avec le port de Karaköy qui emmène directement sur la rive asiatique.

Great value for money, room quality exceeding expectations
Pros:

Honestly, this place looks better in real life than in the pictures. You get a great, well furnished, small room, with good quality bedding, perfectly fine bathroom. There is everything you might need. The staff in the check-in desk were kind and gave me extra tea packets as I was feeling sick, I also kindly borrowed an umbrella from the staff member for a day. It's definitely a great choice and great value for money in this area. I walked both to Istanbul Modern and also to the other part of the city via Galata bridge, perfect location for those who like to explore the town by foot and just wander around. The windows of the room also open quite wide if you prefer to air out the room with some fresh air.

Cons:

Nothing, it was a great short stay.

Pros:

Özgür, the receptionist, was extremely helpful and friendly. He made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The rest of the staff were also warm.

The hotel was very comfortable, and everything was well organized. I will truly miss the coffee! It was so good!

I will definitely book again on my next visit. 😊

My favorite place in Istanbul.
Pros:

I almost hate to say how much I like this hotel after 5 stays. I want to be able to book again, but they deserve to be full all the time. I will have to take my chances.
