Jederzeit gerne wieder, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit großartigem Ausblick und Balkon. Das Zimmer war ausreichend groß und gut ausgestattet. Das frühstück war ausreichend und vielseitig. Besonders gut fanden wir die Betreuung. Wir wurden immer gefragt ob wir etwas brauchen.
Die Lage vom Hotel ist sehr ruhig und doch zentral. In ein paar Minuten ist man bei der Metro. Der Galataturm ist nicht weit entfernt genauso wie die Einkaufsstraße und viele Lokale.

Cons:

Pros:

I only stayed at Doruk Palas for one night during a 24 hours layover in Istanbul. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. Before arrival they suggested me a private transfer for a fair price, so starting from my ride to the hotel the experience was great.

The room was clean, it had good A/C system, tea, coffee, water and everything else you might need. The view to the Golden Horn was spectacular. The turkish breakfast they serve is absolutely worth the money. After checking out I had to leave my suitcases there, cuz my flight was late in the evening, there was no problem with that either.

The location of the hotel is exceptional. You'll be close to the main tourist attractions, all means of transport and lots of artsy cafes and shops.

I'd definitely recommend this place.

Comfortable. Convenient. Compact. Staff was very courteous.
Pros:

The location- very close to main street and to a major attraction- Galata tower.

Cons:

They did not have food available like other hotels, They do serve breakfast in the morning . And so e.g. when i got to the hotel, i was not able to eat food until next morning
