We had the most pleasant experience in this hotel with the friendliest staff you can imagine. Ahmed and Mahmud went beyond expectations and made our stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Amir, Shahin and the other Amir were super friendly and kind and made sure we have been well taken care of during breakfast and whenever we were around. And last but not least, the security manager Mr Osman was the sweetest creature in the hotel that you can ask for! We will definitely be back!

My stay at the hotel exceeded all expectations, starting with the convenient and well-priced shuttle service from the airport. Nestled in a prime location, the hotel is a mere 5-minute stroll from the iconic Galata Tower and incredibly close to the metro station, offering unparalleled access to Istanbul's many attractions. The staff was not only helpful but also exceptionally friendly, making me feel right at home. The view of the Golden Horn from the hotel was nothing short of breathtaking, adding a unique charm to my experience. For solo travelers looking for a blend of comfort, convenience, and camaraderie, this hotel is an absolute gem. The proximity to the metro station makes exploring the city a breeze, while the staff's warmth and friendliness ensure you'll never feel alone. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul and looking for a memorable stay.

Great service, great stay
We stayed for the final part of our vacation in Istanbul, the hotel was extremely clean such as the room and specially the bathroom, but the best part was the service directly from the owners and wonderful staff. The breakfast was a traditional Turkish breakfast, with plenty, and always offered tea and coffee, and freshly prepared eggs. On top they where always on the look to find a way to help or guide/recommend you on the places to visit or eat.

The best thing about this hotel was the staff! They were so generous with us (and from what we could see, with the other guests too) with their time, — welcoming us and answering the myriad of questions we had about Istanbul, transportation, etc. The room was comfortable and clean. We were on the first floor, so there was a little bit of noise from the laneway, but nothing too disturbing. The location was convenient - walkable to Taksim, Galata tower, Galata bridge in 15-20 minutes.

After a long day of exploring the city you are welcomed “home” with a coffee or cold drink. I recommend getting a room at the top floor with a balcony and a spectacular view of the city.

I would absolutely recommend Doruk Palas hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul! In summary: Location: - close to metro so it's easy to get to Sultanahmet without staying in a crowded, loud, expensive neighborhood - close to Galata tower and cute restaurants - on a quiet street Hotel: - AMAZING free breakfast! This was a priority for me and it did not disappoint - Every staff member we interacted with was so lovely and we got great tips on how to spend our time in Istanbul - They proactively reached out to see if we wanted an airport transfer, which was super convenient - There are 2 friendly hotel kitties if you're a cat person (I'm not but they left me alone) Room: - We stayed in a "Superior" room, which was not super spacious but we didn't spend much time there anyway! The rooms were very clean and the bathrooms were very nice - The view of the Bosphorous was so cool! - Ahmet graciously accommodated our request to move to a room with 2 twin beds when one opened up (my boyfriend is a wiggly sleeper so it's hard for us to sleep in the same bed), which I so appreciated! The two twin room also had a bit more space. - The rooms were very quiet, which I appreciated as a light sleeper. The beds were also very comfortable. - AC was a little wonky in our 1st room but great in the 2nd room! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. All in all it's a well run, clean hotel with great service in an awesome location.

Doruk Palas had an incredibly helpful and friendly staff that really made our stay in Istanbul wonderful. The very large breakfast spread with made to order omelettes was also lovely.

Ahmed and his family were so welcoming, and they were so helpful during my stay- also suggesting loads of places to visit around the area food, hammam and sights! The location of this hotel is great also, within walking distance of the old city (7-10 mins) and the hip Galata and Karakoy area (5 mins). Would come back for sure!

Amazing place to stay at in Istanbul! This was our first time in Istanbul and we are so glad we found this hotel. The rooms are really clean, have amazing views and beds are really comfortable. The breakfast is lovely and the front desk staff are really friendly and helpful, this also includes the main man Mr Osman(the cat). The manager, Ahmet, has amazing restaurant recommendations, hamam and sight seeing areas. You will definitely be looked after in this hotel!!
