I found the hotel's location very convenient. The staff was helpful and accomodating. The hotel location is ideal as its in the kadikoy market place. The ferry station and havaist stop are just across the road.

Clean, clean, clean! Small room with no closet and very little hanging space. Breakfast was the each morning - boring! Great location for public transportation and shopping.

The Dora is close to the wharf and is well signposted from the main road. The staff were friendly and professional. I had a 7.30pm flight and they gave me a 12pm checkout and also stored my luggage until my bus was leaving mid afternoon. The room was modern with everything I needed for an overnight stay (although I didn’t find an English language tv station). Breakfast was also good.

Great place to stay at when you're in Kadikoy. The room was spacious, the breakfast was DELICIOUS with a good amount of variety, and the location was perfect. Bus station, airport transportation and the ferry are all within walking distance. Staff was super friendly and the housekeepers were lovely!

BAD, pictures are not truly represented.
This Hotel has a warm vibe. That's true. But we had not so good experience staying here. We booked our stay at Hotels.com. the pictures displayed were not AS CLOSE true representations of the hotel room. I though I was booking a casual normal room, with windows etc, like a normal breathable room, instead, the room was actually around 10m2, one small window, nothing to do other than sleeping, no where to sit. Very frustrating. I would never book that room for that PRICE. Never. We feel like we are screwed. We should have paid around 1/3 of the price. Also, who would install eye piercing white lights in that kind of a small room? It felt like a bad hospital or a working space cubic room. We went out and got 3 candles to be able to stay in the room. I feel regretful. I should have checked the room before checking in... Really bad experience. I suggest anyone, to clearly see the room before checking in. I will definitely contact the hotel management for serious complainment. I will ask hotel.com to do whatever they need to do about this hotel, if there is any....

a little gem of a hotel!
This was a great little find, in a perfect location for enjoying kadikoy but still getting a quiet night’s sleep. It’s also just a block from the ferries for a trip over to the Europe side of the city. The hotel design is great, really nice features and a lovely roof terrace to relax with some music and a cup of tea. Breakfast was good, reception staff were nice, I’ll definitely be booking here next time.

This is a well-located hotel near the bus terminal/ferry dock in Kadikoy. I spent a nine-day stay there in May 2019. My room was clean, the bed was good and the bathroom very nice. The room had a tea kettle and a choice of tea/coffee. The staff was outstanding; I must commend Mehmet, Igyit and Akin for friendly, helpful service with airport connections, package retrieval and for putting up with my hearing disability. Breakfast was good and varied, and the staff remembered my beverage preferences from day to day. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly. Great restaurant options in the area, especially a fish restaurant behind the hotel: superb! Supermarkets, pharmacies and travel agencies in close proximity, as well as the buses/taxis that provide easy transportation. Loved it- really! Thank you, My Dora - you run a great establishment.

Superb little gem of a hotel. Room cleaning deep cleans every day: wet mops bathroom, organizes electronics, folds your clothes, etc. I’ve never seen a Turkish hotel (and I’ve seen many)that is so device friendly: multiple accessible outlets, secure hotel modems tied to your passport number that allows streaming, etc. The staff is extremely polite, and will assist with any problem. Breakfast is great, coffee and tea always available in the lobby. But daily cleaning and electronics friendliness are the best I’ve seen.
