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!

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!!!
