My stay at Istanbul Dora Hotel was frustrating, primarily due to its location. while it's said to be near Taksim Square, I found it to be in a semi-industrial area, requiring a steep 20-minute walk. The room cleanliness was also a concern, with dirty sheets and inadequate amenities. on the brighter side, I did enjoy the variety of breakfast options provided each day.
