We had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. The location was excellent—very convenient for exploring the city, with many attractions, restaurants, and shops within easy walking distance. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or any requests.

The breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay, with a great selection of fresh and delicious options each morning.

The only minor drawback was that the rooms were relatively small, but they were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Overall, the outstanding service, excellent breakfast, and unbeatable location made this a great place to stay.

A great location for the Galata Tower and Istiklal Caddesi, staff were excellent, friendly and helpful, a nice breakfast, lots of restaurant options within walking distance, close to all transit. The street its on is a little gritty but was safe. Our room had a great view and a balcony, the room was a good size and comfortable

We were booked here through Expedia when our VRBO fell through. Expedia made a mistake and gave my friend and I a room with only one bed. The staff were exceptionally polite and accommodating to go out of their way and change our room. Throughout our stay everyone was extremely polite and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel

This is NOT a four star hotel. Two star at best. Very dated facilities, very limited amenities, in a deserted alleyway, poor ambience. Morning breakfast is fair. The staff are very nice, but that does not make up for charging four-star prices for a two-star hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at Doruk Palas Hotel. The staff was warm and welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. The highlight was the extraordinary view from our room — truly breathtaking and unforgettable, especially in the morning and at night. I would happily stay here again!

This is a nice hotel near Shishane metro and Galata area. Facilities are nice and staff is very helpful. It has a nice view of mosques and bosphorus. Very Nice breakfast is provided. Only downside is standard rooms are on the smaller side and can be noisy sometimes when you are on second floor. Bilal and Hassan were very helpful an great.

Oh my Gosh! We absolutely LOVED our three days at Doruk Palace Hotel! Muhammed and his team impressed us even before our arrival, as they communicated about airport transport & potential activities. They were articulate & responsive & eased any pre-arrival angst.
Upon arrival, we were greeted graciously, enjoying cappucino & conversation, getting all of our logistical questions answered.
Our rooms were perfect, clean, efficient & quiet.
The team of Ali, Ghufran & Hassan each made a personal impact on the quality of our stay. This team made Doruk Palace one of our favorite stays throughout our 3 week trip!

This is a great hotel - excellent location, close to nightlife and shops but a quiet side street. Perfect combination
As other reviews suggest, the staff are outstanding - great hospitality and lots of helpful advice on what to visit and how to make the most of public transport. Really genuine hospitality and would definitely recommend staying here. Surprised that someone suggested there was pressure to review - there is absolutely no hard selling at this hotel, which we liked.
We opted to pay a little extra for the room with a view and it was worth it for the view and the extra space
Breakfast is also pretty good - fresh baked goods, hot dishes that vary daily and selection of vegetarian dips, and some sliced meat and cheeses.
We’d certainly look to stay here again if visiting Istanbul and would recommend to friends. Thanks to Bilal and the team for a wonderful stay

No issues with picking us up at midnight after a delayed flight, gave us some free lemonde at one point, and when my daughter got sick they let us stay late until we could check in early at next hotel. Plus view from 3rd floor deluxe was fantastic. Overall a wonderful introduction to istanbul!

The staff is very friendly and professional. Mohammed was amazing with all his recommendations for dinner. Emir was always so helpful and he makes the best lemonade. Finally my favorite of all! Osmen Bay. I spent three weeks in Türkiye. I was missing my cat and Osmen (the sweetest cat owned by the hotel) was so nice to keep me company and give me cuddles.

This is a great small hotel close to Galata Tower. Hotel owner and staff are super nice and friendly. Breakfast included great variety of food. Rooms are kind of small in size. We booked a 'superior room' but it barely had space to walk around the bed. We had free upgrade to a larger room after we complained to the hotel owner. Hotel location is good for the Galata area, but next time we would prefer to stay in the old town.

Immaculate hospitality, wonderful experience

This is such a wonderful hotel. Their hospitality is nowhere near the level that is normally provided nowadays. They’re always willing to help, genuinely kind and so fun to talk to. Every guest stops at front desk on their way out and back to have a conversation with staff. They care about you, they’re easy to deal with and everything there is simply so smooth. Breakfast is amazingly fresh and varied. Such good value for money as well. Their cat Osman is a lovely guy that hangs around and makes everything seem so chill and enjoyable, as was our stay af Doruk Palas Hotel. Thank you so much for everything! Hospitality like this is so rare to find these days. I highly recommend this hotel, come here and you will not be disappointed!

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.

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.
