Pros:

La posizione è vicina alla torre di Galata e a 10 minuti dal ponte sul corno d’oro, la vista dalla camera era molto bella, lo staff è stato disponibile per ogni nostra richiesta, i gatti dolcissimi e mai invadenti

Great staff, facilities, location and breakfast.
Pros:

Fabulous staff at the front Desk especially Bilal and Muhammad. They felt like friends to us. The facilities are very nice and comfortable. Breakfast A+. They arranged our Airport transfer and answered all my messages concerning logistics. Walking distance to great shops and restaurants. Easy walk to the tram to go to the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, and of course, anywhere else.

Super séjour à Doruk Palas
Pros:

Séjour de 4 nuits très agréable à Doruk Palas. Idéalement situé proche de la tour de Galata et du métro. 10min à pied de Karakoy et du pont de Galata.
Chambre propre, calme et climatisée mais plutôt petite. Vue incroyable sur la Corne d’Or et la mosquée Süleymaniye !
Le staff était d’une très grande gentillesse et à notre disposition pour toute demande! Merci à Mohammed et à son équipe.
Le petit déjeuner, sous forme de buffet, était très complet avec plein de délicieuses choses à déguster. Nous avons hâte de revenir à Istanbul !
Je recommande vivement ce lieu !

Zeer aangenaam verblijf in Doruk Palace in familiale sfeer met supergoede ligging.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was lekker en je kon zelfs een gebakken eitje krijgen naar je eigen keuze. Elke dag lekker vers brood vond ik ook een pluspunt.

Cons:

De zeer lekkere pannekoeken waren zeer snel op.

Un Hotel che vi farà rimanere Istanbul nel cuore! Fantastico!!
Pros:

Consiglierei questo hotel a chi vuole passare un soggiorno indimenticabile a Istanbul.
Staff molto gentile e disponibile ci ha dato indicazioni fondamentali per passare al meglio il nostro soggiorno.
Camera pulita e completa di tutto il necessario: acqua, minibar, ciabatte ed una vista MOZZAFIATO!!!! Biancheria e asciugamani cambiati giornalmente.
Colazione completa sia nella versione dolce che salata.
La posizione è molto strategica, nella zona moderna di Istanbul comoda ai mezzi: bus, metro, tram ma anche se volete in poco tempo si raggiungere facilmente a piedi la parte più storica
Abbiamo usufruito del transfer per l'aereoporto sia all'andata che al ritorno. Tutto perfetto!!
Non potevamo aspettarci di meglio..

Cons:

niente da segnalare

Huiselijk
Pros:

Fantastische accommodatie! Centraal gelegen onder de rook van de Galatatoren. Toch in een rustige straat gelegen, waarbij geen geluidsoverlast. Het grootste pluspunt is het aardige personeel en de katten Princess en mr. Osman. Het voelde elke dag als thuiskomen. Het ontbijt was tevens erg goed. Dank voor het fantastische verblijf!

Cons:

Niets.

Kleines Hotel mit toller Lage
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fussläufig erreichbar. Der Galata-Turm ist z. B. nur 5 Minuten entfernt. Es gibt unzählige Restaurants in der Nähe und auch die Metro ist nur ein paar Minuten entfernt.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer ganz oben mit einem spektakulären Blick vom Balkon. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das türkische Frühstück war auch wirklich gut. Ein sehr gutes Hotel für einen Städtetrip.

Soggiorno piacevole, staff gentile e atmosfera accogliente, con attenzione anche ai gatti del quartiere.
Pros:

Ho soggiornato al Doruk Palas Hotel di Istanbul e l’esperienza è stata davvero positiva. L’ambiente è molto accogliente, reso ancora più piacevole dalla gentilezza e disponibilità dello staff, sempre pronto ad aiutare con il sorriso.

La camera rispecchiava perfettamente le foto: pulita, curata nei dettagli e confortevole, il che ha reso il soggiorno ancora più rilassante.

Anche la colazione è stata all’altezza delle aspettative, con una buona varietà sia di dolce che di salato, perfettamente equilibrata per iniziare la giornata.

Un dettaglio che ho apprezzato particolarmente è stata l’attenzione verso i gatti che vivono nei dintorni dell’hotel: è davvero bello vedere come vengano curati e rispettati, aggiungendo un tocco ancora più autentico e umano al soggiorno.

Consiglio sicuramente questo hotel a chi cerca un’esperienza piacevole e senza sorprese nel cuore di Galata a Istanbul.

Relaxing Istanbul
Pros:

Central location with an amazing view over the sea and Fatih area. The hotel is a family business with wonderful and friendly staff (including cats, of course! ☺️). Tasty breakfast with sour and sweet options, not forgetting the Turkish tea.
