What guests think

Reviews of Istanbul Dora Hotel highlight an industrial, inconvenient location, dated rooms with maintenance issues, variable cleanliness, repetitive breakfasts, and traffic or street noise, with some guests viewing it as acceptable for the price.

Some guests note it is within walking distance of Taksim, and the hotel offers shuttle help and assistance with parking. Service is mixed, ranging from upgrades and quick check‑in to unwelcoming attitudes and unresolved maintenance requests. Expect a budget‑minded stay in a rougher area rather than a polished four‑star experience.

Der Service und die Freundlichkeit des Personal war sehr gut. Die Möglichkeiten wo das Hotel anbietet unter anderem der Spabereich ist top und sehr zu empfehlen. Das Frühstücksbüffet hatte eine große Auswahl an verschieden Speisen und war alles immer frisch. Also im Großen und Ganzen empfehlen wir das Hotel auf jeden Fall weiter. Die Verbindungsmöglichkeiten mit Taxi und hauseigenem shuttel service sind einfach super. Und ein ganz großes Lob geht natürlich an das ganze Personal des Hauses, alle waren sehr freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend.

Not very welcoming. Receptionist looked frustrated. On arrival one of the lights did not work and they said they would get a technician out in the morning which never happened. There was no hand wash a simple thing in the bathroom and when it was requested I was just given more body wash. It Was not a welcoming hotel at all and defo not a 5 star. Breakfast was ok ish - nothing amazing how eve rondos notice all the plates were dirty/chipped real Bad and the doors leading in to the street kept being left open which was bringing in a lot of wind. I saw guests touching all the bread rolls which put me off. Coffee/tea was horrible.

Photos on the website are very deceptive. Upon arrival not even greeted or welcomed but instead glared at by a miserable looking man. The hotel is run down poorly maintained and cleanliness of the rooms are not at its highest standards. Breakfast was literally the same every morning. We asked our room to be changed as the fan was making a loud racket every time it came on kept waking us up. But receptionist ( who was very rude btw) refused saying there is nothing wrong with it. The floor board has cracks and so did the furniture. The lighting in the room is diabolical! You cannot see what you’re doing as there’s no main light in the room. I was disgusted at the shower and how filthy it was.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with whatever requests we had. Gave us a free upgrade to a suite which was really nice. The property could have been in a better state as I got myself locked in the bathroom as the lever on the inside to open is not there. Luckily there is a phone in the bathroom so the reception came to my rescue. That problem was not fixed during our stay and we switched the door handle from the outside to the inside every time we went in and out.

Das Hotel war insgesamt in Ordnung, jedoch ist die Ausstattung – insbesondere das Badezimmer – deutlich in die Jahre gekommen und renovierungsbedürftig. Das Frühstück war eher enttäuschend und entsprach nicht den Erwartungen. Die Lage war hingegen ganz gut. Allerdings halte ich die angegebene Sternebewertung für nicht gerechtfertigt.

Jeg kunne ikke lide stedet fordi det lignede et 2 stjerne hotel. Deres service var ekstrem dårligt. Hvis der manglede noget skulle man fortælle medarbejderne det og de blev sure på os, at der manglede noget på vores værelse eller til morgenmaden. Så vi endte med at købe ting til os selv som f.eks. toiletruller, kopper te og kaffe og morgenmad til os selv og spiste på vores hotel værelse.
