After our stay at Doruk Palas, I don't think I can ever stay in another hotel in Istanbul. Location is great - in Pera, just south of Galata tower, which makes it ideal if you like to walk (~30 mins to the main attractions like Agia Sofia, Blue Mosque, etc.). You also have the option of taking public transport - ask the guys at the hotel and they will easily hook you up with whatever you need. Pera is also a neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants, just a short walk from the hotel. Breakfast was great, and the coffee is of a high standard (as it should be, in Türkiye). Tip: you don't need to limit yourself to whatever is at the buffet - the staff are always happy to make you eggs, in any form you want. But let's get to the most important part: (Mr.) Osman, the manager, was the highlight of our entire trip. If you're lucky, he will follow you into the elevator and walk you to your room. If you're even luckier, he will stay for a while and take a nap (he's super busy, and can always use some rest). Osman is a cat, btw. I cannot stress enough how amazing the owner(s) and staff of this hotel are. We got to know everyone very well in just a few days, and had a blast talking to them, finding out more about the city, but also about them on a personal level. The ambience they've created in the hotel is one of warmth and a feeling like you belong there, like you're part of a family- so much so, that we even met other hotel guests and even ended up hanging out with them in the city to do tourist stuff! Can't wait to be back to Istanbul and to see Osman again!

Doruk Palas is a family-owned cosy hotel, tailored for an unforgettable tourist experience. It’s located in a safe neighbourhood in the heart of the city, almost at the doorstep of the Galata tower, and very close to public transport (Metro, Tram, Boat, Bus). Very convenient for exploring the sights of the City. From the first moment you enter Doruk Palas, you experience the warm Turkish hospitality, you have some Turkish tea, and you meet Osman, the lovely cat security-guard of the place. The owner, Ahmet, and the staff are very kind and helpful, they make you feel like home! Somebody is at the reception 24/7! We stayed in a room of 2, with all the amenities and a great view to the Golden Horn and the Skyline of Istanbul. We couldn’t believe that the rooms were exactly as shown in the pictures (see pics below to verify). Of course, everything was very clean! The Turkish breakfast, available until 10h30 (good if you’re a bit sleepy) was a good and tasty way to start the day. We liked a lot the variety of traditional savory spreads! From all aspects, staying at Doruk Palas was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had and I’m glad that for my future trips to Istanbul, I won’t need to search the entire internet for a place to stay, I know exactly where to go! Ahmet, Bilal, everyone, thank you!

First and foremost the staff. Mohamed, Ahmet, Hassan and Amir were so welcoming, they made us feel completely at home and settled from the minute we arrived until the minute we sadly had to leave. They made a wonderful holiday even more special. We loved our daily Turkish lessons! Thank you to all! All the staff are expertly overseen by head of operations and security Mr Osman the cat and his new little sidekick and apprentice Simba the kitten. They are an absolute delight and gave us hours of entertainment just watching their antics. Simba the kitten absolutely stole our hearts - they make a wonderful team! We had an amazing view out towards the Suleymaniye mosque and loved watching the twinkling lights and goings on at night. The hotel is ideally situated in close walking distance to the metro. The close proximity to the Halic bridge also provides an easy and pleasant walk over to the Eminonu district and opens up the tram network for further easy transport options around Istanbul. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would certainly stay here again when we are next in Istanbul. Caroline and Jonathan

On a quiet street just 200m from the Beyoglu metro station we found this modern boutique hotel. It was surrounded by lighting stores with the biggest and best chandeliers etc so well lit and safe! The room was well designed and compact with everything you needed. We were upgraded on the last night to the top floor and watched trains cross the Golden Horn on the bridge and disappear into a tunnel directly under our hotel, we never heard a rumble or anything! We arrived at 9.45am from Perth and were greeted with “welcome, please leave your bags there and enjoy some breakfast (there was a spread on a long table!) Tea? Coffee? Eggs? Later the manager came over and said “ how was your breakfast? The other guests have just checked out so your room will be ready in about 20 minutes “ The service was 5.5stars! We chatted with the manager about his cat and recommendations for a rooftop seafood restaurant! Nothing was a problem we cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! We walked to the shopping strip to Taksim Square, took a train to the Grand Bazaar etc and he arranged a taxi to the cruise terminal!

Nestled in the heart of Istanbul lies a hidden gem – a cozy haven orchestrated by the warm-hearted brothers who infuse their hospitality into every corner of this delightful hotel. Their unwavering dedication to guest comfort and satisfaction elevates the experience to unparalleled heights. The charm of this boutique establishment is heightened by the presence of Osman, the adorable resident cat, who adds a touch of playful elegance to the ambiance. If you choose to invite Osman he’ll even hang out in your room From the moment you step foot inside, you're enveloped in an aura of genuine care and attentiveness. We very much enjoyed the excellent view we had in rooms on 5th - it’s worth paying more to get that room. The combination of genuine warmth, impeccable service, and Osman's endearing presence makes this hotel an absolute delight – a true sanctuary in Istanbul's bustling landscape.
