Amazing view from my bedroom, very comfortable and Spacy room. Breakfast is rich and fresh but must be taken before 8.30. Otherwise very few choices are left. Central location, very close to touristic centres. Welcoming and helpful staff. Strongly recommended.

Excellent hotel close to the Istiklal Cd and within walking distance to Taksim square, Galata tower, and Galata bridge. Really great spot with lots of food options as well. One of the staff, Burak, was very helpful especially to store some food in their fridges during our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Very pleasant stay at Dora Pera. Walking distance to Istiklal avenue, metro near by, small food shop near by and plenty of restaurants/ bars within walking distance. Beautiful view of the Golden horn from our room.
All staff very friendly and helpful at all times. Great selection of food at breakfast. Always fresh and clean. Room was perfect and clean with everything you could ask for. Free water and coffee/ teas every day.
Definitely recommend and would return to this hotel.

This is my second time at Dora Pera, its my favorite hotel, very clean, big rooms and comfortable. Very near to the metro station only 5 mins walking, bus station is just in front of the hotel 1 min walking, very near to istiklal street and galata tower, i would recommend for everyone, breakfast very good quality and big variety. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it for solo and families travelers.

The hotel is in a fairly quiet neighbourhood and a great location, close to landmarks and public transportation. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast exceeded my expectations with a good variety and combinations.
However, the room insulation was poor. I could clearly hear guests next door. Smoking was allowed in the lobby, and the smoke spread to the elevators, dining area, and even my room at times. I also noticed handprints on doors and handles, as well as shoe marks on the floor.

Great location and clean hotel
I stayed in the 3 twin bed room with a sea view with my mom and sister. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom was very clean. All of the hotel was very clean and well maintained. The staff was always very warm and helpful to guests. The cleaning lady Azad was very sweet. The room service was great. The breakfast was a great spread. The view from our window was beautiful in the night. In our room the space is just enough. We had 5 suitcases which made it a little tight but they have a cupboard so we used that to keep all our stuff. They also have a safe locker. There is a spa which offers hamam too but I didn’t have time to try it. The location of this hotel is just amazing. It’s situated right next to the bus stop and a few meters away from the metro m2 line. The galata tower is only a short walk away. And it’s only a short walk from the nostalgic tram that goes through istiklal street as well. They also gave us an extended checkout time. Overall I had a great experience here and would love to come back.

Friendly staff, comfortable room, great views
I was expecting just a functional business stay at Dora Pera, but the hotel exceeded my expectations. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean. There were some late party-ers in the room next door, but the noise is what you would expect in this part of Istanbul. Overall, highly recommend!

This place is not worth the price:
1- They assigned my room to someone else and attempted to make me stay in a lower-level room, claiming I didn't check in at the correct time. However, I had informed them about my late arrival several days prior.
2- I found hair on the bed after checking in.
3- I requested additional towels, but despite promising to bring them twice, they never did. I find this disrespectful.
4- There's construction in the adjacent building which creates significant noise starting at 8am.
5- The air conditioning doesn't work in cool mode.
