So close to Galate Bridge but also on a side-street so it is very convenient and not noisy at the same time. It is a very short walking distance to T1 Tram so you can easily go to Old City. The hotel is very new and the staffs are very helpful too. I definitely will stay here if I go to Istanbul again.

Lovely boutique hotel

We moved to this hotel after having a miserable couple of days at a different one in the area and wow it was the right decision! Loved everything about this hotel, from the boutique feel (11 rooms total!) to the extremely welcoming staff (got served coffee and cake at check in) to the nice little rooms and comfortable beds. Soundproofing is also very good considering the very busy location (its position off the main road in a quiet side street definitely a plus). Overall a great experience!

The staff at FAMA Karaköy are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. They do an excellent job of keeping the hotel rooms spotless. In fact, this hotel is the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in, and I’ve been to many high-end, expensive hotels. When it comes to helpfulness, the staff truly excels. I lost my wallet during my stay, and they were incredibly supportive—they checked everywhere, asked surrounding shops, reviewed security cameras, and did everything possible. Fortunately, my wallet was found. The cleaning staff is also outstanding, always maintaining high standards. I would definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.

Tolle Unterkunft, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist die durchsichtige Glasschiebetür zwischen Zimmer und Toilette. Eine Privatsphäre auf der Toilette ist dadurch leider nicht vorhanden.

Das Zimmer war eine bessere Kategorie und das hat sich gelohnt. Die Lage des Hotels ist zentral, allerdings nur zu Fuß und mit Google Maps gut zu erreichen. Das Frühstück ist mit Liebe gemacht und für ein paar Tage ok. Für länger wird es zu langweilig.
