I had a mixed experience at Palazzo Donizetti Hotel. The location is fantastic, being close to Istiklal Street and Galata Tower, which made exploring the area convenient. However, the room I was initially given was dark and had an extra bed that was less than ideal. Also, the noise from nearby nightlife detracted from my stay, especially at night. Overall, the hotel has a charming atmosphere and accommodating staff but could improve on room comfort and sound insulation.

The location of Palazzo Donizetti Hotel was fantastic, right near all the attractions in the lively Beyoglu area, making it super convenient. However, the service left much to be desired; I experienced a lot of confusion about my room booking and found the staff to be rather uninterested in helping. The room itself was comfortable but small and lacked natural light, which was a bit of a downer. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and uniqueness of the hotel, but the service needs serious improvement.
