Great small hotel with super friendly staff. My room was clean and tidy, with a good view from my window)
Great breakfast bar.
Liked the staff that works there. Very nice people.
I used their shuttle option to and from the airport- loved that service.
Will come back again next time!
Definitely recommend this place!
A very nice hotel with a kitty security guard. Very nice clean air conditioned rooms with a super view of the mosques across the bridge. Plus a easy location to explore Galata area
Amazing property with good view and amazing breakfast spread. The staff is very nice and very helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hotel near Galata
Such a great find; reasonably priced for such a good location (quiet, Beyoglu all walkable), clean, small, and the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful.
Overall a good stay at Doruk - a decent price/value stay, however nothing incredible (so just as expected for what you pay, not some deal as some reviews make it sound)
Staff and cats are very friendly and personal. Probably the highlight of our stay.
Room a bit unmaintained especially in bath (toilet moving, sink tap not attached etc.). However it’s functional given the price. Room was sold as Sea View however our 1st floor room did not really have any view from the bed.
Area around is not nice, abandoned buildings and shops that close very early. However, it did not fell particularly unsafe. It’s quiet (except the prayer call, but that’s expected for Istanbul) so got good sleep.
All in all, like I said at the start its what you expect for the price.
Best hotel in Istanbul, easily. Great breakfast, amazing staff, wonderful views, convenient location, everything you need

The people here were the best part of our stay! Couldn’t do enough for us! The hotel was clean, welcoming, breakfast and coffee were great! A great place to stay in Istanbul!
This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Istanbul. We were received by the hotel staff who took care of our bags and provided complimentary coffee and lemonade. Mr. Osman, the Hotel manager (also happens to be a Cat), was extremely friendly and always happy to greet us. The rest of the staff (humans) were super helpful and catered to every need we had (transport, recommendations, food, etc.).
Our hotel room was very clean and fully stocked. We had the room with views to the Golden Horn, which was always breathtaking upon waking up.
This is a hotel where you will feel at home. Staff will often join you for coffee as they explain their culture and traditions. It’s a very homey experience, which is what I prefer compared to corporate hotel chains that may offer more luxury while lacking any “heart”. Highly recommended.
The Staff were all so kind and accommodating. The area is close to Galata Tower. There are many restaurants around and it was easy to get taxi and book uber from the hotel. The room is clean and the AC works great especially that the weather is now getting warmer. Most of all I fell in love with Osman the security cat. I hope to see him again in the future ❤️
The hotel is decent. Staff is very friendly to help us arrange transportation and luggages. The breakfast is superb and the best I’ve had during my whole trip. I would definitely stay here again.
Doruk Palas Hotel exceeded my expectations, especially regarding their service. They made me feel at home in a wonderful neighborhood within Istanbul. I wish my stay here was longer to take full advantage of the local sights, but this just means I will need to return again. I very much look forward to it!
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.
