Marks for cleanliness. They even allowed me early check in.

I was almost hesitant to book this hotel based on previous reviews. However, on arrival I was pleasantly surprised. We were a group of three and booked a family room. The room comprised of 2 single beds, and a separate room with a queen bed. It also had a large balcony. The room was extremely clean and was stocked with all toiletries you would require. The AC and heating worked perfectly. The location can't be beat. It is a 3-minute walk from the Gulhane tram stop which is the T1 tram. This can take you all the way to Kabatas where you can connect to the funicular which takes you to Taksim square. The hotel is also located less than 10 mins walk from Hagia Sophia and Blue mosque. You can also get to the Egyptian Bazaar and Grand Bazaar in less than 10 minutes.

Breakfast had limited options but everything was fresh and tasty.Room service menu also had good options and was very affordable. On my last visit to Istanbul I stayed at the Hilton Doubletree However, I would not hesitate to stay at Dosso Dossi again.

We had an amazing stay at Dosso Dossi Hotel! The staff were absolutely wonderful—kind, helpful, and always ready with a smile. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and they were especially great with kids. My youngest son was lovingly referred to as “Boss” throughout our stay, which completely made his day—every day!

The location is unbeatable, just steps away from many of Istanbul’s top attractions. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well maintained, which we really appreciated.

The one thing that stood out was the room size. As others have noted, the rooms are on the smaller side, and with a family of four, it was a bit of a challenge to manage our luggage and unpack. However, the warmth and professionalism of the staff and management more than made up for that.

Thank you, Dosso Dossi, for helping create such wonderful memories for our family. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Very clean and spacious rooms, 507 was very good but view on side building. Breakfast normal Istanbul standards 😊. Staff are lovely. Location great but for week legs not recommended 😉 it is on steep street. Close to Tram station

Excelent location, friendly staff, nice rooftop terrace. Everything one might want from a hostel in Istanbul!
16.12.2015 Shreeraj
I came in December so it was fairly quiet, but if you come in the warm months there will surely be a large crowd. The terrace upstairs offers good views around and a good place to meet people. Located very well right off the Sultanhamet Tram stop, and very convenient to get to almost anywhere in Istanbul. Offers cheap breakfast, cheap ride to airport, and nice rooms with heat/ac and warm water for shower. Wifi is average. Hosts are very helpful, and informative. Great place to stay, especially for backpackers.
