Guest Reviews
- Maria (10/5): Lovely hotel in a great location - Fabulous view of Golden Horn, the Suleymaniye Mosque on other side of the water, and the bridge that the M2 metro goes over. (This was from a Sea View room.)
Loved also the airy open glass-walled entrance lobby: simple but very effective and comfortable.
Terrifically friendly team, very courteous & hospitable.
Delicious breakfast (excellent citrus, hummus, hot items, and lots of different things to try).
Hotel has 21 rooms, making it a perfect size.
Great location. Especially liked that it's situated in a real neighborhood (of mostly small stores selling lamps and electrical goods), rather than a noisy, touristy zone, yet still very close to sites & restaurants.
Easy 5-7 minute walk from Sishane metro station, which is on the M2. Small safe, does not fit a laptop, though would fit an iPad.
Loved my room, which suited perfectly, but in a few spots (baseboards, paint) it could probably do with a little TLC, nothing major.
For anyone traveling with a lot of luggage (I wasn't), this particular room would be a tight fit.
- Inga (4/5): Smelly room, garbage at dining hall! Seems like fake reviews - We liked to get a bottle of water straigt at the moment when we arrived. Also getting our bags to room. Room smelled of cigarettes. Terrible! When said about that next morning got answer that it can't be because reception guy has checked each room twice 🙃
Absolutely culture shock was all that mess with dirty staff (cleanser, cups, garbage) on the table near glasses and everything at breakfast. And it kept being there. Two workers at the hall, and for lady it was more important to look at mirror, for a hall guy - to scroll his phone. Also our dirty plates no one hurried to take away.
Didn't like a view out of window. Metro bridge, water side, but garbage and messy look.
Yes, hotel ir very central but surroundin is quite messy - poor buildings, lot of garbage on the street. Absolutely don't understand why hotel has so good reviews. Reception guy after my complain about smelly room still asked for good review. Not fair!
- Helen (10/5): Lovely hotel with everything you need - Perfect little hotel. Excellent value for money. Well situated for getting around Istanbul. Friendly, helpful staff, great breakfasts.
Also, loved the cats!
- Rainer (7/5): -
- Jan Peter (10/5): Felt like home - Cosy and sympathetic hotel with excellent service in a strategic location.
- Julia (10/5): Location + Service are top-notch here! - Fabulous location and warm, friendly staff made it feel like home. And the complimentary breakfast was extraordinary, especially for a smaller hotel.
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Zeynep (10/5): - Cok guzel, temiz, şık bir şekilde dekore edilmis bir otel. Kullanilan malzemelerin kalitesi kendini gosteriyor. Duş sampuanlari bu gune kadar kullandiklarim arasinda en guzellerinden birisiydi. Calisanlar profesyonel ve herzaman yardimci. Biz gece yarisi check in yaptik. Hic bir aorun olmadi. Guzel bir odamiz vardi. Etrafi sessiz civardaki otellere gore. Konumu guzel. Tavsiye ederim. Otelle alakasi yok sadevmce konumla ilgili. Taksim tarafindan araba ile gelince satnav cok dar ara sokaklardan getiriyor.
- Aleksei (10/5): - Очень уютный чистый отель, персонал приветливый и отзывчивый, прекрасно знают английский. Расположен так, что всюду можно дойти пешком. Номера с красивым видом на Золотой Рог.
- Antonella (9/5): - Posizione super, vicino alle fermate dei mezzi pubblici, in zona tranquilla ma pochi passi dalle vie più vivaci. Camere piccole ma ben organizzate, moderne, molto pulite e con vista fantastica. Buona la colazione, staff gentile e accogliente.
- Лиза (10/5): Excellent stay with amazing staff, clean rooms, and a delicious breakfast! - Everything was wonderful! The staff was extremely polite, friendly, and welcoming from the very first moment. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious with a good variety of food. We really appreciated the warm hospitality and the great atmosphere of the hotel. Nothing, everything was great
- Anna Ewa (10/5): - Wszytko a szczególnie nieziemski widok z okna !
Przemiła obsługa, dobry standard, urozmaicone śniadanie, dobra lokalizacja. Wszystko było super.
- Kestutis (10/5): -
- ΔΑΝΑΗ (10/5): - Μείναμε πολύ ευχαριστημένοι απο την διαμονή μας! Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ καθαρό και περιποιημένο, ενώ η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου ηταν πολύ βολική. Θα το προτιμούσα ξανά χωρίς δευτερη σκέψη.
Εξαιρετική εμπειρία!!
- Rana (9/5): - The hotel is located near the Galata Tower. The view from the room is amazing almost the same view you get from the top of the tower itself.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the amazing team: Bilal, Hassan and Mahmoud. They took great care of us and truly made us feel at home.
The hotel is super clean, the room is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. The team was always available to answer our inquiries and support us with helpful tips and recommendations. - The closest tram station is around a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
- 2 cats live in the lobby, which may be a concern for some guests.
- Breakfast choices are somewhat limited.
- Ute (10/5): Very beautiful place, nice staff, very good breakfast and cht cats - The hotel is fantastic. The location is great, and the staff and the family are incredibly friendly and always ready to help with advice and support. The rooms offer a wonderful view over the Golden Horn. The breakfast is also excellent.
The (secret) stars, however, are the two cats, Princess and Mr. Osman (who also happens to be the house’s head of security 😉). He welcomes you and even escorts you to your room, sometimes staying for a little nap. Occasionally, he’ll wake you up during his morning rounds, loudly asking to be let in—only to curl up after a quick inspection and get some sleep.
A wonderful place - we would happily return anytime
- Lenka (10/5): -
- krecotel (10/5): - Η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου ήταν πολύ καλή σε απόσταση λιγότερο από 400 μέτρα από τον Πύργο του Γαλατά πολύ κοντά στην περιοχή Karakoy
Το πρωινό πολύ ικανοποιητικό , η καθαριότητα όλων των χώρων και η αμεσότητα του προσωπικού σε οτιδήποτε χρειάστηκε ήταν υποδειγματική. Ο Υπεύθυνος του καταλύματος κος Mohammad ήταν πάντα πρόθυμος και διαθέσιμος να σε εξυπηρετήσει όπως και το σύνολο του προσωπικού. Όλα ήταν πολύ καλά
- Ricardo (10/5): Excelente ubicación, lindo hotel - Muy bien ubicado. Habitaciones limpias y cómodas. Personal muy amable.
- Yvette (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf met zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel - Het hotel heeft een perfecte locatie, je loopt zo over een van de bruggen naar de oude stad. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en heerlijk om de dag mee te beginnen. Wij hadden een van de kamers met dakterras en een geweldig uitzicht over de stad. Maar wat het meest beviel was de gastvrijheid en de vriendelijkheid van de mensen die er werken. Niets
- Oguz_06 (8/5): Super gelegen, Sehr nettes Personal - Hotel ist super gelegen. Im Zimmer waren noch spuren von einem Wasserschaden.
- Jurate (10/5): -
- Giuseppe (10/5): - La posizione è vicina alla torre di Galata e a 10 minuti dal ponte sul corno d’oro, la vista dalla camera era molto bella, lo staff è stato disponibile per ogni nostra richiesta, i gatti dolcissimi e mai invadenti
- Kyriaki (8/5): -
- Yohann (10/5): Super séjour à Doruk Palas - Séjour de 4 nuits très agréable à Doruk Palas. Idéalement situé proche de la tour de Galata et du métro. 10min à pied de Karakoy et du pont de Galata.
Chambre propre, calme et climatisée mais plutôt petite. Vue incroyable sur la Corne d’Or et la mosquée Süleymaniye !
Le staff était d’une très grande gentillesse et à notre disposition pour toute demande! Merci à Mohammed et à son équipe.
Le petit déjeuner, sous forme de buffet, était très complet avec plein de délicieuses choses à déguster. Nous avons hâte de revenir à Istanbul !
Je recommande vivement ce lieu !
- Randall (10/5): Great staff, facilities, location and breakfast. - Fabulous staff at the front Desk especially Bilal and Muhammad. They felt like friends to us. The facilities are very nice and comfortable. Breakfast A+. They arranged our Airport transfer and answered all my messages concerning logistics. Walking distance to great shops and restaurants. Easy walk to the tram to go to the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, and of course, anywhere else.
- Mauricio (5/5): Útil para una estadía corta - El personal fue muy amable y atento Está ubicado en una calle que nos es muy bonita y es un poco oscura . La habitación era muy muy pequeña
- Elisabeth (10/5): -
- martina (10/5): Un Hotel che vi farà rimanere Istanbul nel cuore! Fantastico!! - Consiglierei questo hotel a chi vuole passare un soggiorno indimenticabile a Istanbul.
Staff molto gentile e disponibile ci ha dato indicazioni fondamentali per passare al meglio il nostro soggiorno.
Camera pulita e completa di tutto il necessario: acqua, minibar, ciabatte ed una vista MOZZAFIATO!!!! Biancheria e asciugamani cambiati giornalmente.
Colazione completa sia nella versione dolce che salata.
La posizione è molto strategica, nella zona moderna di Istanbul comoda ai mezzi: bus, metro, tram ma anche se volete in poco tempo si raggiungere facilmente a piedi la parte più storica
Abbiamo usufruito del transfer per l'aereoporto sia all'andata che al ritorno. Tutto perfetto!!
Non potevamo aspettarci di meglio.. niente da segnalare
- Connie (Travelspecialist) (9/5): Zeer aangenaam verblijf in Doruk Palace in familiale sfeer met supergoede ligging. - Het ontbijt was lekker en je kon zelfs een gebakken eitje krijgen naar je eigen keuze. Elke dag lekker vers brood vond ik ook een pluspunt. De zeer lekkere pannekoeken waren zeer snel op.
- Juan Manuel (10/5): -
- Lars (10/5): Huiselijk - Fantastische accommodatie! Centraal gelegen onder de rook van de Galatatoren. Toch in een rustige straat gelegen, waarbij geen geluidsoverlast. Het grootste pluspunt is het aardige personeel en de katten Princess en mr. Osman. Het voelde elke dag als thuiskomen. Het ontbijt was tevens erg goed. Dank voor het fantastische verblijf! Niets.
- Katja (9/5): Kleines Hotel mit toller Lage - Sehr gute Lage, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fussläufig erreichbar. Der Galata-Turm ist z. B. nur 5 Minuten entfernt. Es gibt unzählige Restaurants in der Nähe und auch die Metro ist nur ein paar Minuten entfernt.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer ganz oben mit einem spektakulären Blick vom Balkon. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das türkische Frühstück war auch wirklich gut. Ein sehr gutes Hotel für einen Städtetrip.
- Agnieszka (9/5): -
- William (10/5): Ideal location comfy beds super helpful staff - What I liked especially was the location, super comfortable bed, the breakfast, and wonderful helpful engaging staff. Only negative is that have to depart.
- Maria (9/5): Soggiorno piacevole, staff gentile e atmosfera accogliente, con attenzione anche ai gatti del quartiere. - Ho soggiornato al Doruk Palas Hotel di Istanbul e l’esperienza è stata davvero positiva. L’ambiente è molto accogliente, reso ancora più piacevole dalla gentilezza e disponibilità dello staff, sempre pronto ad aiutare con il sorriso.
La camera rispecchiava perfettamente le foto: pulita, curata nei dettagli e confortevole, il che ha reso il soggiorno ancora più rilassante.
Anche la colazione è stata all’altezza delle aspettative, con una buona varietà sia di dolce che di salato, perfettamente equilibrata per iniziare la giornata.
Un dettaglio che ho apprezzato particolarmente è stata l’attenzione verso i gatti che vivono nei dintorni dell’hotel: è davvero bello vedere come vengano curati e rispettati, aggiungendo un tocco ancora più autentico e umano al soggiorno.
Consiglio sicuramente questo hotel a chi cerca un’esperienza piacevole e senza sorprese nel cuore di Galata a Istanbul.
- Patrycja (10/5): Relaxing Istanbul - Central location with an amazing view over the sea and Fatih area. The hotel is a family business with wonderful and friendly staff (including cats, of course! ☺️). Tasty breakfast with sour and sweet options, not forgetting the Turkish tea.
- Vivienne (8/5): Had a lovely time at Doruk Palas Hotel. Would recommend it. The staff were amazing and very helpful - The location was great and the staff were exceptional! The room was smaller than expected and the view was not great, even though it was a deluxe room with a sea view.
- Marcin (10/5): - Lokalizacja , widok z okna , sniadania
- Jurek (9/5): - Sehr schöne Dachterrasse, nettes Personal Nichts
- 帅气的苦行僧 (10/5): - 非常不错,老板人很好
- Kateryna (10/5): - I love this place! The location was perfect, very central and close to everything. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful Everything was awesome:)
- Giulia (10/5): First Time in Istanbul - The staff made us feel at home from the moment we stepped into Doruk Hotel. They were warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. The room had all the amenities we needed and exceeded our expectations. The area was safe and quiet, highly recommended! I also loved the buffet breakfast, with both sweet and savory traditional Turkish options. No negative feedback.
- Olivia (10/5): Un séjour inoubliable au cœur d’une ville au patrimoine historique et culturel exceptionnel. - L’hôtel bénéficie d’un emplacement idéal, à proximité de la Tour de Galata et très bien desservi par les transports (métro, tramway et ferry).
Notre chambre offrait une vue imprenable sur de nombreux monuments de la ville, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable.
Le personnel a été exceptionnel du début à la fin : attentionné, chaleureux et toujours disponible. Nous avons beaucoup échangé et ri avec eux, au point de nous sentir comme à la maison. Une mention spéciale à Bilal et Mohammed, ainsi qu’au véritable maître des lieux, Mister Ozman 🐈
L’équipe est également de très bon conseil, toujours prête à partager de bonnes adresses et à nous faire découvrir davantage Istanbul et sa culture.
Le petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet était délicieux, varié et renouvelé chaque jour.
Nous avons eu un véritable coup de cœur pour la ville et sa richesse historique. La visite de Sainte-Sophie nous a particulièrement marqués.
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir. À noter également : aucun souci rencontré lors de notre séjour en avril 2026. Tout était parfait
- Aphrodite Anna (10/5): The perfect, value for money, boutique hotel in Istanbul - We stayed at the Doruk Palace Hotel for 5 days during our first trip to Istanbul, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The hotel is clean, modern, and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect, close to Galata Tower and the metro, yet still very quiet.
We were given a complimentary upgrade to a rooftop suite, and the view was breathtaking, we didn’t want to leave our balcony! They provided us with free bottled water every day, and the room was spotless each time.
What truly makes this hotel special, though, is the staff (cats included!). Bilal and the rest of the team were some of the kindest and most accommodating people we’ve ever met at a hotel. We had a little chat every time we headed out, and he gave us the best tips for our trip.
One thing is certain: the next time we visit Istanbul, we won’t need to look for another hotel, we’ve already found the one. Thank you for everything, and we hope to see you again soon!
- Burak Erol (10/5): Haliç manzaralı otel - Çalışanlar kibar ve yardımseverdi, sabah kahvaltısını beğendim, konumu oldukça kolay, metroya yakın, yanımda yabancı arkadasım oldugu icin İngiliCe iletişim önemliydi ve hic sorun yasamadık. En güzeli de nefis bir Haliç manzarası ile uyanmaktı, konforlu konaklama için teşekkür ederiz
- Inta (10/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): Buena opción para quedarse en Estambul - Hotel confortable, limpio y todo relativamente nuevo y bien mantenido.
Cama muy cómoda y cuarto no muy grande, pero con todas las comodidades.
Baño con ducha y amenities.
Mohammed, fue la persona que nos atendió de forma muy amable… quizás de las que más en la cantidad de hoteles que he estado a lo largo de mi vida por mi trabajo, ya que suelo pasar unas 6-8 noches al mes fuera de casa.
Su amabilidad, simpatía, empatía y ganas de agradar y hacernos este viaje increíble, han sido impresionante.
Entre otras cosas, nos prestó una tarjeta de transporte para poder recargarla y nos dio un par de consejos para ir a comer y cosas que visitar.
Este hotel, según nos contaba, es un negocio familiar e intentan cuidar los detalles.
El resto de empleados que nos atendió a la llegada y en el desayuno, también muy serviciales, amables y siempre con una sonrisa.
El desayuno es correcto, sin grandes pretensiones, pero suficiente para empezar el día.
Hay pan del día para hacer tostadas, algún tipo de ensaladas turcas, bizcocho y la posibilidad de encargar huevos al gusto.
Quizás eché de menos algún zumo natural.
La localización es bastante buena, ya que está a 5’ caminando de la estación de metro de Sishane.
Las vistas eran muy buenas desde nuestro piso (4º), aunque justo en los alrededores del hotel no es tan bonito y puede resultar algo inhóspito.
Saliendo del hotel a la derecha, enseguida se sale a una calle principal y desde ahí es fácil llegar a la estación de metro y también a los puentes que cruzan al otro lado.
Nos ofrecieron transporte tanto desde como para el aeropuerto.
Tienen dos gatos encantadores en recepción y, para el que no lo sepa, Estambul es la ciudad de los gatos. Ninguno es agresivo y mantienen la ciudad libre de ratones. Todo perfecto. Quizás, el secador de pelo algo escaso de potencia.
- Maria (10/5): - Tutto!
- Erhard (9/5): Wir fanden es sehr angenehm, dass die Rezeption rund um die Uhr besetzt war, - Wie waren von den frisch zubereiteten Dips, Eierspeisen und der Brotauswahl begeistert und der vorzügliche Filterkaffee👍 Es fällt uns nichts ein
- Isabelle (10/5): Excepcional! - Adoramos o hotel. Ótimo quarto, limpo, organizado e com uma vista magnífica para a “Mesquita Nova” (Yeni Camii) e para a Mesquita de Suleimanye. Ótima localização. Muito perto da torre de galata e de ótimos restaurantes. Destaque especial para a simpatia de todos os funcionários, sempre muito alegres e prestativos. Elogios aos funcionários Hassan e Ahmed. Ótimo café da manhã no estilo turco.
- Anika (10/5): - Отличный персонал.
В отеле чисто и уютно.
Замечательное местоположение. Недостатков нет
- Dmitry Shepelev (9/5): Doruk Palas offers the perfect Istanbul stay. - Our week-long stay at Doruk Palas was nothing short of excellent. The location is truly superb—nestled right by the Galata Tower and surrounded by vibrant streets, charming cafes, and easy transport links. For those who enjoy a stroll, the major landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet are just a scenic 30-minute walk away. The cleanliness was impeccable; the staff was so efficient they often refreshed our room before we had even finished breakfast! A special thanks to Mr. Osman and the entire team for their exceptional politeness and warmth. This hotel is a gem for anyone planning a trip to Istanbul. Not a single point to mention.
- Thanassis (10/5): - Τοποθεσία, πρωινό και προσωπικό Σχέση τιμής -δωματίου
- Анна (10/5): - Остановились в этом отеле с огромным удовольствием и уже хочется вернуться снова. С первого дня чувствуется, что здесь действительно заботятся о гостях.
Номера очень чистые, светлые и уютные. Каждый день качественная уборка, свежие полотенца и приятный аромат в комнате — мелочь, а как поднимает настроение! Кровати невероятно комфортные, спалось просто отлично.
Особенно хочется отметить доброжелательный и внимательный персонал. Все сотрудники улыбчивые, отзывчивые и всегда готовы помочь. Создаётся ощущение настоящего домашнего тепла.
Расположение отеля , просто идеальное! Все главные достопримечательности находятся в пешей доступности, не нужно никуда ехать. Утром выходишь из отеля и уже в самом центре красивой жизни города.
Вкусные завтраки разнообразные, всегда свежие продукты. Каждый день начинался с удовольствия.
Если ищете комфорт, чистоту, отличное расположение и душевный сервис — этот отель именно то, что нужно. С удовольствием рекомендуем и обязательно вернёмся сами!
- Francisca (10/5): - Os funcionários do hotel são super simpáticos e hospitaleiros
O hotel é um excelente qualidade preço, está perto de tudo muito bem localizado
Muito confortável
- Bettina (10/5): -
- Yana (10/5): - Отличный отель, остались только приятные впечатления. Удобное расположение — прямо в центре, всё рядом, что очень важно в поездке. Вид из окна был красивый, создавал особую атмосферу. Отдельно хочется отметить администратора — очень приятный, внимательный и доброжелательный.
Завтрак был действительно вкусный, всё свежее и с хорошим выбором — начинать день было особенно приятно. Также важно, что персонал всегда на связи: быстро отвечают, помогают с любыми вопросами, чувствуется забота о гостях.
В целом мы остались полностью довольны проживанием и с уверенностью можем рекомендовать этот отель.
- ماجد العجمي (10/5): - كانت زوجتي عندها فوبيا من القطط والريسبشون كله قطط .
- Brankovic (10/5): - Staff is incredibly kind,its easy to communicate and you feel welcomed. Small nice cozy hotel, fantastic location and considering everything that you can find around it is value for money. Human touch is something important for me above fancy brand. All staff speaks very good English and they treat you with respect. Also,very easy to arrange transportation and tours. It's not about didn't like but if you are travelling with 1-3 year old toddler you need to disscus with hotel appropriate room for you as it is boutique hotel and no kids amenities so just prepare yourself well in advance and all is good :)
- Daria (9/5): -
- Massiel (10/5): 10/10 recommend - Great location - accessible to trains, main attractions, restaurants & nightlife. Staff was amazing and super responsive. They helped me set up a lovely surprise for my husband and were a text away for any of our needs. Also gave great recommendations. Breakfast was great and rooms were clean. We had a lovely view!
- Roman (10/5): Хороший отель в историческом центре Стамбула - Мы отдыхали с женой и годовалым ребенком. Персонал отеля был максимально вежливый и отзывчивый! Завтраки были хорошие, турецкие.
В номере было тихо и комфортно для сна. Несмотря на то, что отель располагается вблизи Галатской башни, около самого отеля достаточно спокойно и не шумно. Мы знали, что номер будет небольшой. Нас это устроило. Но кому важна большая площадь, лучше смотреть номер просторнее.
Так же в жару может быть такое, что кондиционер не справится. Минимум, который можно выставить, 19 градусов. Нам было жарко иногда, так как выключали отопление в ванной чтобы высушить одежду. Если его не включать, то будет комфортно.
- lucia (9/5): Struttura molto bella, pulita e con una vista spettacolare. Tutti i ragazzi dello staff sono super disponibili e gentili -

Das Hotel ist sauber und gepflegt. Das Frühstück hat uns positiv überrascht: große Auswahl, frisch, lecker. Mehr als genug, um gut in den Tag zu starten.
Die Lage ist auch super: Wer möchte, läuft einfach los – wer weiter will, ist mit Metro oder Fähre schnell unterwegs. Alles hat super gepasst!
- Fleur (10/5): Great little hotel and fab location. Highly recommend - Really lovely little hotel, clean and spacious rooms, warm and welcoming staff and great coffee! Great location near the metro. No faults, it was great

Bed and pillows average.
- Evelina (10/5): Tobula - Personalas labai paslaugus ir visada pasiruošęs padėti.
Maistas – itin skanus, kiekvienas patiekalas pranoko lūkesčius.
Pagalba teikiama visą parą, todėl jautėmės saugiai ir ramiai.
Kambariuose radome viską, ko gali prireikti patogiam poilsiui.
Vaizdas pro langą – tiesiog vertas milijono.
O misteris Osmanas (katinas) – mano didžioji meilė, jis tikrai liks atmintyje ilgam.
Išvykstame su liūdesiu.
Jei dar kada nors sugrįšiu, be jokių abejonių apsistosiu būtent čia.
- Ali Shehzad (10/5): Very comfortable stay and we were well looked after by everybody. - Loved everything about Doruk Palas hotel during our 4 day stay here recently. We got the room on the top floor with the terrace and the views were absolutely incredible. The hotel staff was some of the most hospitable, friendly and helpful I have ever come across, specially Muhammad, Bilal and Hassan. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast every morning was a treat with a good variety of foods. Everything was topped by Osman the cat - The chief security incharge who always kept an eye on us and even made room visits to check if we were ok! Would definitely stay here again. Cant think of anything that I didn’t like.
- Hendra (1/5): This hotel is a 100% dump. At best a 2-star cheap motel, not a 4-star hotel. - Nothing. The place is a dump. You're paying a 4-star hotel price for a 2-star hotel (or cheap motel) experience. Do yourself a favor and spend this money on a proper 4-star hotel. "I need you to do me a favour... to give us a 10/10", said the receptionist on our last checkout day. You can see from the photos uploaded (e.g. cup-sized hole in the wall in the room), what a horrible condition the property is in. But the fella still had the nerve to demand a 10/10 online review score from us. Talk about being dishonest and toxic pressure tactics. I suspect many of these other reviews were done under this pressure.
I'm summarizing the BAD issues we observed during our stay:
1) Cup-sized hole in the wall - see photo
2) Water leaking (with mold) on bathroom ceiling - see photo
3) Paints peeling from part of the room wall - see photo
3) Broken bathroom switch panel - see photo
4) Bed blanket barely wide enough to cover entire bed (i.e. gets chilly when sleeping at night for 2 people) - see photo
5) View outside is a dump and not as advertised; it looks like a landfill - see photo
6) Mattress too soft (bad for someone with bad back) and just 2 single-beds pulled together
7) Neighborhood NOT SAFE at night as the hotel is in the middle of an industrial area where shops are closed at night with no one around and not much lighting. We walked back around midnight and got harassed (shouted and whistled at) by passing vehicle. We also passed by a van parked in a dark corner alley with its engine switched off on the road up to the hotel; there were two guys inside (driver + passenger seat) who kept staring at us from that dark corner while we walked by. It felt incredibly unsafe, and thankfully there were two of us. At one point I had to tell my partner that if they approach us on foot or using the car she needs to run to the hotel as fast as possible to call for help. 8) Room is very old and rundown. Nothing like the photos posted online.
9) Manipulative staff - very warm and charming to disarm you from the sorry state of the property and to guilt trip you later into giving them good review.
- Lukeš (9/5): - Snídaně byly výborné. Pokoj jsou poměrně malinké, ale útulné a máte v nich vše co potřebujete. Pokoj byl po návratu vždy krásně uklizen. Nic mě nenapadá
- Erik (8/5): Heerlijk relaxed hotel, centraal gelegen voor een mooie citytrip. - Het vriendelijke personeel was heel fijn, het ontbijt precies goed en de kamer en badkamer was iedere dag even schoon. De locatie van het hotel was voor een stedentrip echt goed: bus, tram en metro op loopafstand. Top!
NB. Opmerkelijk: de receptionist, die altijd vriendelijk was, vroeg om onze 9/10 beoordeling aan te passen naar 10/10 én om de tekst hieronder te veranderen. Dat lijkt me niet de bedoeling. Reviews horen realistisch te zijn en daar helpen scores bij die afwijken van 10/10. Hopelijk stopt men met pushen om nietszeggende perfecte review scores in te vullen. De speciale koffie bij het ontbijt kon beter en de beer van mijn dochter was spoorloos na de eerste dag. Die lag in een lade opgeborgen 😂
NB. Na het lezen van de review van Singapore gasten (16 april), heb ik de score met terugwerkende kracht aangepast naar een 8/10. Redenen: het beddengoed is idd te klein voor een tweepersoons bed. Voor het hotel ligt een braak liggend terrein, afgeschermd met bouwplaten. Als je uitzicht belangrijk vindt, kan dat storend zijn. De buurt was wat ons betreft veilig.
- Anna-Karina (9/5): Un lieu parfaitement adéquat pour déguster Istanbul - La salle du petit-déjeuner avec sa belle table en bois avec toute la richesse d’un petit déjeuner turc
L’accueil et l’atmosphère. La bonne literie. Rien à signaler
- Annamari (10/5): Kiva ja rauhallinen hotelli, tosi mukava henkilökunta. - Ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Hyvä sijainti, rauhallista ja lähellä julkisia liikennevälineitä. Siisti kylpyhuone ja tarpeeksi hygieniatuotteita. Vesipullo tuotiin joka päivä. Hieman remontoinnin tarvetta lattiassa (oli rikki), liian vähän vaatesäilytystilaa: esim. pari koukkua seinässä ulkovaatteille olisi hyvä ja (turhan) sohvan tilalla vaatekaappi ja mukava siirrettävä tuoli.
- Lilla (10/5): -
- Sergei (10/5): Всё отлично. - Отличное местоположение, близко к достопримечательностям, но при этом в шаге от основного движения, на тихой улочке. Поэтому спать было комфортно, никакого шума. Метро рядом, не сложно добраться куда-либо.
Завтрак сытный, но мне хотелось бы добавить листья салата на стол и больше разнообразия овощей.
Рядом много кафе и ресторанов на различный ценовой диапазон и вкус.
Удобные кровати и подушки. Чисто, уборка ежедневная. Очень приветливый персонал, все просьбы выполнялись.
Кошки при отеле тоже очень ласковые.
Для проживания в этом районе отличный вариант. Хотелось бы больше зелени на завтрак.
- Hermenia (10/5): - Great staff who were helpful and friendly. I thought the location was perfect. I loved the resident cats 🐈
- Raluca (10/5): Muy buena experiencia - Estancia muy agradable. El personal fue muy atento en todo momento, la ubicación es excelente y nos sentimos muy cómodos durante toda la estancia. No nos faltó de nada. Sin duda, repetiríamos.
- Michal (10/5): - I have been to many hotels and places in my life, and not once have I had service like this one. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we left, we felt welcomed and helped with everything. The staff are unbelievably pleasant — all of them do their work with passion and care about you all the time. As for the apartment, everything was great. The rooms have amazing views and are always clean. A huge part of this hotel’s charm is the cat Osman, who made us laugh many times. I cannot recommend this hotel enough!
- Dominik (9/5): Empfehlenswert! - Sehr freundliches Personal und eine ausgezeichnete Lage

- Patrick (10/5): - Great hotel in an extremely convenient location for all of the major attractions in Istanbul. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, immediately making us feel at home. The room was not the largest, but comfortable and totally adequate. Everything was clean, new, and visibly well cared for.
- Mirona (10/5): - Lovely room, great location
- Polina (10/5): - Сотрудники отеля были очень дружелюбные и гостеприимные. В отеле чувствуется искренняя забота о гостях.
Вкусный скрембл на завтраке.
Внимание к деталям: маленький подарочек на выезде и фраза «Thank you for being part of Doruk Palas hotel family”.
Вернемся снова! В номере было немного душно,но можно было открыть окна или включить кондиционер.
Завтрак можно было бы улучшить.
Хотелось бы лучше кофе на завтраке.
- Sabina (8/5): - La posizione, la vista spettacolare dalla nostra camera È un po vecchio, l aria condizionata funziona male. La via non è bella
- Serbian Visitor (10/5): The hotel was exactly what we needed. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. - The location is excellent… close to all major landmarks and quiet environment.
- Martin (9/5): We enjoyed our short holiday here. Quite area, not far from the historic center and port. - Varied breakfast, the only thing missing was orange juice.
- Larissa (8/5): Angenehmes Hotel an ruhiger Lage - Sauberes Hotel, nettes, gut informiertes Personal, zentral gelegen doch an ruhiger Lage. Alles i.O.
- Bullari (10/5): Ήταν όλα εξαιρετικά!! Η εξυπηρέτηση και η διάθεση που είχε ο Mohamed μας έκανε να νιώθουμε σαν το σπίτι μας. -
- Sara (10/5): Famiglia - Personale cordiale e professionale...siamo stati accolti come una famiglia Tutto eccezionale...gli abitanti di Istanbul molto cordiali
- Barbara (10/5): Warm and friendly place to stay! - Location, wonderful view from room, super friendly staff, and very nice traditional Turkish breakfast. Room is small but very nice.
- Polly (9/5): Met our needs totally and if I was to return to IST I would stay again - Good customer service. Staff were helpful.
Comfy bed.
Well had nice bedroom views.
Well located for our needs.
Two resident cats, were lovely. Right opposite the hotel the land is a tip.
There is a right way only to walk there, as some of the adjacent streets are not nice, poor quality road and lacking light.
