How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
About 0.3 km from Galata Tower, 2 km from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Fama Karaköy is a hotel at 2 Arşın Sokak, Istanbul, postcode 34425. Galata Tower is about 0.3 km away, in a straight line. The New Mosque is about 0.8 km away and Sirkeci railway station about 0.9 km. All distances here are straight-line.
Topkapı Palace and the Süleymaniye Mosque are each about 1.3 km away, Hagia Sophia about 1.7 km and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2 km. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.2 km away, in a straight line, and the hotel runs a paid airport shuttle for that journey.
Six room types, 14 to 17 m², all with city views
Every room type sleeps up to 3 and has a city view. Five of the six are 14 m²; the Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace and the Deluxe Double Room are the largest at 17 m².
Beds separate the rooms more than size does. The Double Room with Terrace and the Standard Double Room have a double bed. The Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed, the Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace and both Deluxe rooms have a queen bed. Whether double or queen, each of these is a one-bed room; the Standard Twin Room is the only one with two twin beds, and so the natural pick for two travellers who want separate beds.
Three room types add a terrace: the Double Room with Terrace and the Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace, both 14 m², and the Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace, at 17 m². A couple who want both the extra space and a terrace have exactly one option that combines them.
Since children are allowed and every room type sleeps up to 3, a family of three can take any room; the 17 m² Deluxe rooms give three people the most space to share.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Room with Terrace | 14 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace | 17 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Deluxe Double Room | 17 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Standard Double Room | 14 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed | 14 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed, Terrace | 14 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Standard Twin Room | 14 m² | 2 twin beds | up to 3 | city view |
A bar, a lift and a paid airport shuttle
The hotel has a bar and a lift, and a paid airport shuttle covers the journey to and from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.
The hotel's facilities cover the practical side of a city stay — a drink at the bar, a lift between floors, a paid shuttle to the airport — rather than leisure: they do not include a pool or a spa. With rooms of 14 and 17 m², it suits short stays, whether for a couple, a traveller alone, or three people sharing, rather than anyone who wants a spacious room.
Check-in from 14:00, check-out until 12:00
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00. Children are allowed, which together with the sleeps-up-to-3 count in every room type makes any room open to a family of three. Pets are not allowed, so the hotel cannot host a traveller with a pet.
Who Fama Karaköy suits, and who it does not
It suits couples, solo travellers and groups of up to three: every room sleeps up to 3 with a city view, Galata Tower is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, and Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque are each between about 1.3 and 2 km away.
It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, or anyone who wants more than 17 m² of room or leisure facilities such as a pool; the hotel has none of these.
