Istanbul Dora Hotel

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The rooms were clean
  : The staff was rude, more interested in selling overpriced tour packages instead of true hospitality. Couldn't even give a plate or fork for room service if you don't buy thier overpriced tour packages. The location is not Taksim Square, it's a good 1km away to Taksim and it's all hill/incline so you can't walk, you will have to take taxi or thier shuttle which only operates sometimes.

  : -Size of the room (bigger than the majority)-Cleaness of the hotel-Staff is very kind specially Muli he was cooperative
  : -Breakfast is the same every day. Even in the location of the dishes.-Location: not close to main road in Sisli nor close to Taksim. Although it is located some place inside Sisli, it is noisy. I discovered after few days that there was a cold store (retail shop) behind the hotel.-Lighting is very bad and the room is dark

  : Most staff were friendly and welcoming. Some staff were not and they should all be notified. If one staff is unfriendly and not helpful it means that most visitors will be unhappy. I was comfortable but the rooms need to be checked. Some of the sockets work, some don't, the water tap is the wrong way round. It looks as though the maintenance is not being kept up. This could be an amazing hotel if all staff are friendly and the maintenance is kept up. The idea of cats being in the hotel lobby for me is nice. However, I noticed one lady that has a fear of cats, there is cat faeces and hair around the hotel lobby which causes concern for hygiene and allergies too. Many people complained about this but aren't able to communicate with the staff due to language barriers. The light switches are very confusing and it took forever to figure out. It's a little dark and dingy in the rooms. Also, the breakfast is the same every morning and seems a little cheap. The restaurant could be open for coffee, tea and snacks. I don't understand why they're not open. It is a shame this hotel could be a great hotel.
  : I didn't like that I was being blamed for an electric shock at the hotel but they tried to help and do the best they can.

  : the location was good - two staff were treating me very good after all (Multu & Meleh)
  : the bathroom in the lobby wasnt clean - no breakfast options enough - the room has broken items even when I changed the room - two of the staff I will not mention the names were very rude and helpless - room is not clean once I entered at the first time and also each time after cleaning from housekeeping and clothes are not organized.
