Great room located right near the Galata Tower and easy transport links to the main attractions (Sultanahmet, Eminonu etc). Staff are so friendly and there is even a cat who guides you to your room! Very quiet location - although the hotel is located next to a mosque’s loudspeaker, so you will be awoken by the call to prayer in the morning. For non-Muslims, you get used to it though.

The website is a little deceiving, as it makes the hotel look a LOT bigger than it is. It is a very small boutique hotel on a side street with no view but it is quite darling. Close to the shopping and eating district, so nicely located. The rooms are very small but well kept and very clean. There are resident hotel cats that are DARLING and super friendly. Be ready to walk up and down hills in this part of town.

At Doruk Palas, the staff are what make the stay worth it. While I stayed at two other hotels, this is the only one that didn’t have a corporate feel about it. They are incredibly kind and go out of their way to make sure you are welcome. The lobby feels like going to a coffee shop with friends. The location was excellent too. Don’t stay at an overpriced touristy hotel. Stay at Doruk Palas to get an authentic Istanbul experience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Istanbul. The location couldn’t have been better—everything was within walking distance, making it so easy to explore the city’s beautiful attractions, restaurants, and cafés. What truly made this stay exceptional was the staff. Every single person was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with a smile. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and made us feel more like guests than customers. If you’re looking for a hotel with an unbeatable location and the most amazing, caring staff, I highly recommend staying here. I would definitely come back on my next visit to Istanbul!

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 hotel was one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul! The location is perfect—close to so many of the city’s must-see attractions, great restaurants, and public transportation, making it incredibly convenient to get around. The staff truly deserve five stars. They are some of the kindest, friendliest, and most welcoming people we’ve met. They were always happy to help, offered great recommendations, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. And of course, I can’t forget the hotel’s sweetest resident Osman, the adorable lobby cat! He greeted us every day and instantly became part of our Istanbul memories. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to have him as a visitor in your room too. 🐈❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!
