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.

We had the standard room which was a little tight especially the bathroom but for the price it was acceptable. I would opt for an upgrade next time. Location was good, very accessible to Galata tower, public transport and shopping. Breakfast was great and staff was very friendly and helpful.

Would absolutely recommend, our stay was amazing! Every single staff member was so kind and helpful, the facility was clean and well kept, and the breakfast was great. Location is very close to Galata tower, and not far from public transportation to get to other tourist sites, but a bit off the beaten path. Well worth it for the hospitality though!

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! Anyone visiting Istanbul& desiring a walkable experience near Golata Tower, Istankul St & the bridge to the Old City

Best hotel staff I ever encounter during my travel. Especially Ghofran who helped us in a locating a lot of things, she was exceptional. I will have to mention the manager Mohamed that went above and beyond, he even got my husband a gift for his birthday that coincided at the time of our stay. Also Ahmed who was welcoming and the friendliest when we checked in. My hat to all of them and my thanks for making our journey wonderful.
