We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for—almost like being part of a big, friendly family.
The food was absolutely delicious with a wide variety, including an excellent selection of local dishes. The quality of both soft and alcoholic beverages, as well as the Turkish coffee, was impressive.
Our room was spacious and featured a lovely balcony, perfect for relaxing. The free shuttle service to the beach was a convenient bonus.
A highlight of our stay was the cultural events, especially the Turkish night, which offered special dishes and a truly authentic experience.
The hotel also boasts two large pools equipped with plenty of fun activities for children.
Special thanks to Mr. Sadik, Erhaan, and the entire staff—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive to our requests.
I highly recommend this hotel. Well done to the whole team—keep up the great work!

We are absolutely thrilled with the beautiful photos Osman and Memed took of me and my son during our stay at the hotel and on the beach. They captured our special moments in such a natural and heartfelt way, and the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable.
Both Osman and Memed are not only talented photographers but also genuinely kind and professional. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and had a great eye for light and detail, which truly made the photos stand out.
We will treasure these pictures as precious memories for years to come. Thank you so much for your amazing work – we highly recommend you to anyone looking for beautiful, personal, and memorable photographs!

A disappointing experience – I do not recommend Hotel Dosi, Side
I stayed at Hotel Dosi in Side and unfortunately, it was one of the worst vacation experiences I’ve had.
The first room we were given was in terrible condition: a strong rotten smell that wouldn’t go away, extremely stained bed linen, and the air conditioning was not working at all, despite temperatures being 31°C outside. We asked to be moved and the staff relocated us – the second room was okay, clean and functional.
Also, the electricity went out twice in less than a week – unacceptable for a hotel that claims 4 stars.
The food was generally very poor. Few dishes, very repetitive, bland, and lunch was reheated and served again for dinner. Only two out of ten days the food was decent and more varied – those happened to be days when there were inspections at the hotel. Outside those days, the same tasteless meals were served repeatedly, lacking both variety and freshness.
Another major issue: the bar closed very early, and they often ran out of drinks, despite the all-inclusive package. If you wanted a drink after 9 or 10 PM, you were usually out of luck.
Do not buy hookah (shisha) at this hotel – it’s very low quality and nothing like the real Turkish hookah you’d find on the coast.
The only highlights of our stay were the nice stuff, a lovely lady who made excellent pancakes, and a friendly young man at the snack bar who helped maintain a cheerful atmosphere – always smiling and helpful. Sadly, their presence was not enough to save the overall experience.
Conclusion: Hotel Dosi is at best a poorly maintained 3-star hotel with many service failures and basic issues. Definitely not worth the money. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, relaxing, quality vacation in Side. There are many better alternatives in the area.

This hotel was a very nice surprise compared to the reviews I read online.
Noticeable highlights included were: the evening food, no long lines of waiting anywhere, no pushy sales or hotel staff to buy something.
Some negatives were: hotel room view from parts of the hotel, rooms are a bit outdated and some of the hotel staff didn’t speak English very well. All in all, I’d give the hotel by itself 3 stars, but with good food, friendly staff and overall experience, it’s a solid 4 stars.
