My Dora Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Istanbul

A rich buffet breakfast is served daily in the contemporary dining room, with options including fresh juice, eggs, pancakes, local pastries, Turkish salad, cheeses, and borek. The breakfast staff prepares fresh cappuccino and Turkish coffee on demand for each guest. The hotel provides a variety of breakfast choices that cater to different tastes, including sweet and savory selections.
