Guest Reviews
- Ralf (9/5): -
- Marina (4/5): - Замечательное месторасположение, приветливый и доброжелательный персонал. Номера очень уставшие с плохой звукоизоляцией, одна из двух кроватей была заправлена рваным бельем.
Горячая вода вроде и есть, но помыться теплой водой в душе можно только если открыть горячую воду в раковине.
В отзывах читала про то, что слышно ветер, и это действительно так, но проблема не в самом ветре, а в том, что из за ветра что то непрерывно стучит по крыше, мешая спать.
Завтрак проходит в формате шведского стола, блюда были несвежие и невкусные, кофе за дополнительную плату.
И это все при стоимости номера выше среднего в данной локации.
- Frederick (7/5): Great boutique stay - Location Has some age. But well maintained.
- Azize (8/5): -
- Danail (9/5): -
- Timur (10/5): - Foça'da çok bakımlı bir butik otel, deniz önünde. Yönetim ve hizmet mükemmel. Bu ikinci gelişimiz, bir daha gelirsek Foça'ya, ilk seçimimiz bu otel olacaktır. Özel otoparkı var, otoparka götürüp getirmelerinden çok memnun kaldık.
- Jonathan (8/5): -
- Nesrin (4/5): - .
- idil Banu (6/5): -
- Gerald (10/5): The hotel has a prime location; the staff particularly the proprietors' daughter were exceptional - Everyone in he hotel was most helpful. Nothing
- Robin (8/5): Comfy spot right on the Foca quayside - Great location on the Foca harbourside, which is very nice for an evening stroll. The noisy bars and restaurants are the far end of the harbour, which made for a quiet stay. The rooms are v comfortable, though a bit dated.
- ERSEN (10/5): - Bir gecelik aile tatilimiz için çok güzel bir yerdi.Konum olarak mükemmel bir yerde.
- SEIJI (8/5): 目の前に綺麗な海 - とてもいい立地でした。泳ぐにもすぐ目の前で綺麗な海で泳げるので快適に過ごせました。
- buket (10/5): - Otel bir aile işletmesiydi. Hiçbir problem yaşamadık, çok sıcakkanlılardı.
- Ahmet (10/5): - Harika bir otel.müthiş manzara.çok nezaketli otel sahibi ve tüm çalışanlar.konumu çok iyi yerde. Herkese tavsiyr ederim💯
- Mark (10/5): - The Karacam is an excellent hotel on the waterfront of Foca. Driving into Foca can be a challenge, but the hotel was helpful with directions and parking instructions. We enjoyed our stay very much.
- Prudence (10/5): Best Hotel In Turkey - This is a Super place to stay .You feel like you are at home .This is our second time here and definitely will be back . The staff are so warm and extremely friendly . The hotel is very unique in decoration . The breakfast offers traditional Turkish breakfast which was fabulous .I can ‘t say enough about how great this hotel is . It was so nice to get up and walk along the sea and the same fir the evening it is right outside the door .Love everyone at this hotel .
- Rabia nur (10/5): - İlk kez bir konaklamam hakkında yorum yapmak istedim çünkü otelin hijyeni, cevreciliği, personelin güleryüzlülüğü hersey çok güzeldi. otelin konumunu saymıyorum bile. tekrar geldiğimizde kesinlikle ilk tercihimiz olucak. her şey için teşekkür ederiz✨
- Ali (10/5): Mükemmel - Konum olarak mükemmel, çalışanları aşırı güler yüzlü, çok temiz ve huzurlu.. Foçaya tekrardan gidersem tek tercihim burası olacak.
- Carl (10/5): Our stay was lovely. Just so nice to be around real people again loved them. - The owner Aliaga Belediyesi .and the staff most of all :-). The hotel is absolutely in the best location to view the tour boats and nice breeze into our upstairs room. The hotel is just so charming we loved it. Mehmet bey and his wife Gunseli hanim made us feel like family. I couldn’t bring it and them back to Texas with my wife and I.
- Ender (10/5): - Isim gereği ömrümun çoğu otellerde geçiyor bu tecrübem dayanarak diyebilirim ki, fiyat performans açısından verdiğiniz paranın karşılığını fazlasıyla alıyorsunuz, lokasyon olarak mükemmel, sahibinden, resepsiyonuna, garsonlarından housekeeperlarina hepsi cana yakın güler yüzlü ve pozitif insanlar, kahvaltı diğer büyük hersey dahil otelleri gibi şaşalı görünüp de yiyecek birşey bulamadığınız kahvaltılar gibi değil, çok şaşalı olmakla beraber kahvaltıda büfesi deki hersey yenilebilir kalitedeydi, kimseninde şikayetçi olabileceğini sanmıyorum kahvaltıdan, eşimle beraber mükemmel bir 5 gün geçirdik, bunun için Karaçam ailesine eşimle beraber çok teşekkür ediyoruz,. Tekrar görüşmek dileğiyle.
- Levent (10/5): Comfortable and relaxing hotel and will definitely stay at this hotel the next time we travel to Foça - Very conveniently located, clean, and the breakfast was great with many choices. The staff was very helpful to take us to our car parked at their parking lot. Nothing to report as everything was great
- Ahmet (10/5): - Tertemiz bir otel, yüler yüzlü, kibar çalışanlar, konum olarak merkezi, her yere yürüme mesafesinde,
- Alastair (9/5): Very nice relaxing stay in typical Turkish fishing village. Not a resort. - Right on the harbour front with small balcony. No lifts. But that was expected.
- Zma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Belinda (10/5): The hotel has an amazing sea view location and the room with a balcony was comfortable, clean and had a fantastic view. - amazing location, fantastic room and super nice staff nothing to complain about!
- Richard (8/5): Very good - Fantastic location right on the sea front.
Staff were brilliant -very accomodating especially the owners daughter who gave us lots of tips about where to go and booked a restaurant for us.
Lovely buffet Turkish breakfast.
I woukd stay here again! We had an amazing balcony with great views however this is the only sea view balcony in the hotel so ask for this one.
Hotel a little tired and could do with refurb, but very comfortable and clean .
- Whitecrow85 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ewa (5/5): Great location, quality as expected from Turkish 3star hotel - Very nice staff, great location, basic facilities…
Breakfast is surprisingly disappointing…. It’s difficult not to serve nice Turkish breakfast given amazing quality of produce but selection was non existent… we went to caffe nearby to get proper Turkish breakfast…
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Levent (9/5): Superb -
- Nese (10/5): Felt like I was visiting family without the chaos. - Hmm, where to start. The crew here make up the vibrant positive vibes. The views from the terrace are excellent, looking over the bay and the activity of the streets below. Breakfast was delicious, filling, organized and constantly tended to, ellerine sağlık. The room was exactly what we needed for relaxing, clean space. I can't think of anything.
- Nesrin (10/5): - Herşey mükemmel...
- Laila (10/5): Bel hôtel, bien situé avec terrasses et rooftop! - Très joli hôtel, avec une situation excellente sur la promenade et face à la mer . Le personnel est très serviable et sympathique. Le buffet petit-déjeuner est varié. Je recommande la chambre vue mer avec terrasse.
- Cengiz (10/5): Nostalji - Foça’nın en eski oteli. Güleryüzlü çalışanları ile birlikte 3 gün Foça seyahatimize ev sahipligi yaptı. Konumu ve manzarası mükemmel bir otel.
- Stephen (10/5): Outstanding room and hospitality - An excellent hotel. Ideal position on the sea front, incredibly friendly staff, great breakfast and very covid secure. The room was large and very clean.
- Muharrem (10/5): Karaçam Otel - Temiz huzur dolu bir tesis. İlgili personel. Teşekkür ederiz.
- goldmattymiss (10/5): Perfect - Stayed here for 2 nights the hotel is very clean and a very good location for the restaurant's and Bars the staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble .Would highly recommended this hotel for any one staying in foca
- 971alanj (10/5): Such a Peaceful place - It’s a small cosy hotel with nice breakfast. It has a brilliant location at the heart of Foca. Few min walk to restaurants and bars. I really admired the owner though. So friendly. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍
- Esra (8/5): Konum çok iyi - Konumu çok iyiydi. Odada tamir gerektiren durumlar vardı. Su sızıntısı, banyo kapısının kapanması vb. Ama temizdi.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wir waren vom 29.03. bis 12.04.im Hotel Karacam. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir vom Hotelbesitzer, Herrn Karaca, herzlich begrüßt. Er spricht sehr gut Deutsch, ist vom Morgen bis zum Abend anwesend, immer ansprechbar und vielseitig interessiert. Sein Personal ist stets freundlich und bemüht, jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Unser Zimmer und Bad wurden täglich gereinigt, es war sehr ruhig.
Die Lage des Hotels ist äußerst günstig; wir empfehlen, gegen Abend auf der Dachterrasse bei einem Glas Wein den Sonnenuntergang zugenießen.
- atamanca1 (10/5): Trip to Foca - During my short business trip I stayed overnight at Hotel Karacam in Foca. It was a quick visit & did not have time to book in advance but still managed to find a nice room & enjoyed my overnight stay and a great,fantastic breakfast the following morning. Good,friendly service comfortable room great choice of breakfast and very professionally managed lovely little hotel in beautiful Foca. I would definitely, highly recommend to anyone.
- jokerhomerfnk (10/5): Perfect - Probably the best hotel in foca
Rooms are very clean. Very good breakfast.
Staff is very friendly and location is very good
I wont look for other hotels , i will stay everytime in this hotel. Its good for family
- GÜRER (8/5): - Çok temiz güzel bir otel
- tvonmove (10/5): Immaculate - Every year I visit this hotel and every year I thrill to the joy that the hotel gives. Other reviewers have indicated the quality of the rooms, staff etc.. So whilst I accord with their views I would like to point out some of the minute detail that makes Karacam what it is..immaculate. When the bone China cruets are removed from the breakfast table they are polished- everyday. The terrace is surrounded by an English style cottage garden, the flowers are dead headed -everyday. The sound deadening carpets in the marble stairwells are scribed - everyday. The bedrooms are cleaned so thoroughly that it is though they have been spring cleaned -everyday. And thus it is an immaculate hotel exists that creates such pleasure
- 488ahud (10/5): Great! - If you visit Foca, highly recommend to stay in! Great service, clean rooms, delicious and rich breakfast. Location is a big bonus!!! right in the centre, on the waterfront, you wake up with a gorgeous view!!!
- Sheila (10/5): Family gathering - A wonderful time meeting up with family and friends for a Turkish /Scottish marriage celebration. We were a large group but Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating to both residents and non residents and went out of their way to enable use of their lounge and cafe facilities throughout the days and evenings throughout our stay. Despite the language barrier the management and staff couldn't do enough to help us with information, taxi bookings, and suggestions for making the most of the beautiful local resort.
- 759halila (10/5): Very good - Located at sea side, very nice hotel with a magnificent wiev from front rooms. Rooms are clean, quite spacious, friendly hotel staff and delicious breakfast. I would highly recommend if u plan to stay in Foça.
- 715Johan (10/5): Very Impressed - Foca itself is an unpretentious little harbour town. It doesn't try to be cute, it just happens to be. With hundreds of communal dogs walking about and an army base close by, it is hardly the typical poster boy of a Mediterranean resort. All of this just ads to its charm. Restaurants and bars line the harbour & there is one restaurant called 'Fok' which was particularly amusing to me seeing that in my native South Africa it is a very naughty word. With respects to Hotel Karacam - it commands the best spot in Foca. Looking from it and at it is a pleasure. The terrace is great for people and dog watching and the hotel is a little boutique hotel that blends in beautifully. Lastly, this hotel saved my marriage! I lost my wedding ring there and they found it and posted it halfway across the world free of charge. So it is also a great place to lose stuff...
- MattArvs (10/5): Beautiful hotel at prime spot - Very nice, clean hotel with excellent service. Hotel stands at the hart of the town. Very close to restaurants and town centre. Such a welcoming and friendly environment. Well presented and rich buffet breakfast with local delicacies. Strongly recommend it to everyone.
- Siobhan (8/5): - Mr karaca is a true gentleman who went above and beyond to make our stay at his hotel a lovely one. Only a slight hick up with house keeping, and that was dealt with professionally and swiftly.
Clean and comfortable traditional hotel with a big warm heart.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who appreciates a intimate family feel, personal but far from imposing.
I wish more hotels were run by true gentleman as Mr karaca, the world would be a far nicer place to travel around.
- tvonmove (10/5): This quite outstanding hotel goes from strength to strength - I can't say it better than your reviewer Ruhi Y.
This hotel has the cleanliness of a hospital and yet manages to maintain a warm almost cozy ambience. The same staff welcome one back year after year having remembered all one's likes and dislikes. I never thought that I would write this about a hotel, but I recommend it without reserve
- ruhiy (10/5): A delightful experience - Each product, whether it is mostly tangible (a car), mostly intangible (an insurance policy) or as many are a combination of both can only be judged within the terms of its own class. There are a number of stated or implied qualities on which the customer expectations are based. It is no different for tourist products, such as a destination or an accommodation facility within a destination. A six-star, multi-unit, upscale city property in a metropolis needs to have large function rooms, multiple restaurants, large luxuriously appointed rooms and highly trained personnel with a formal approach to service. What do you expect from a hotel in a small, pretty, cosy, friendly, historical, warm, authentic and very clean seaside town?
The answer is a small, pretty, cosy, friendly, historical, warm, authentic and very clean hotel.
Hotel Karacam in the historic Aegean town Old Foca (pronounced Focha) is just that. Sebahattin Karaca, mein host extraordinaire, has perfected his act in the last 36 years of owning and managing Hotel Karacam (it might mean ‘hotel my Karaca or ‘hotel black pine’ – but let him tell you the story). Mr Karaca alone - local hero, animal rights activist, journalist, writer, and the nicest man even by Aegean standards – is sufficient reason to pay a visit to this lovely town with its bittersweet history, its boats, its great sunset and its stray cats and dogs that look like Beverly Hills pets.
The hotel has 23 rooms and a small restaurant that serves excellent Turkish breakfast (which is the Western breakfast enriched threefold), a terrace bar with perfect views of the sea and the marina. Mr Karaca has loose partnerships with almost all the restaurants of this seafood town and he can offer you all inclusive rates that will not cut corners when it comes to food service. The rates are very reasonable, the rooms are super clean and the staff is polite and accommodating to a fault.
Foca (Old Foca, because there is also a featureless New Foca which must be bypassed) is about an hour’s drive from the third biggest city of Turkey, Izmir, which is a sensational urban centre. An excursion to Foca can be an overnight visit but if the prospect excites you, it is certainly worth spending more time there. And if you are considering that you must call on Hotel Karacam before anywhere else.
By the way, I am a Turkish/Australian and I was there toward the end of May 2017 for a reunion of first graduates of the first hotel management school in Turkey. To my shame, I had not heard of either Foca or Mr Karaca until the meeting was organised. You can imagine a group of retired hoteliers in their 70s who live around the world are not the easiest of guests to satisfy. Those like me who had not met Mr Karaca or been to Foca before had our reservations about the whole deal.
The result: Not only I was delighted with the town and the hotel but I also felt privileged to meet this hands-on, old style hotelier. To reiterate, a product must deliver its implied and stated promises to satisfy its customers. Hotel Karacam fulfilled that to perfection. The three days we’d spent there were much more than satisfactory – they were delightful.
- DavidF179 (10/5): Lovely hotel - The hotel is lovely, the rates are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. It is on the waterfront. I highly recommend this hotel which was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Eski Foca.
