Like prevous reviewer had four great nights in Istanbul then arrived at Dogan to be told they had overbooked and was sent to neighbouring Hotel which was very poor. Small rooms, the first room we were given had a horrible smell of drains we were moved to another which was also small but no smell. We also had to wait till midday to get room in the Dogan and decided to take a twin as we were shown a double but it still needed cleaning and making up and we did not want to waste anymore time. The room was clean and tidy but very basic, towels worn and only a soap dispenser in bathroom. The breakfasts are not worth paying for, very little fruit a few segments of orange and grapefruit and sometimes melon, if you want orange juice instead of the sweet diluted drinks offered, or an omlette instead of the cold hard boiled eggs you are expected to pay extra!!! The location is good, right on the local beach and within walking distance of the main Town and sights etc but that is about all this hotel has going for it. We were also told that they would give us an evening meal to compensate, but when we tried to use this in the restaurant was told it was only for the buffet which was provided for guests on full board. I offered to pay the difference to eat al la carte but was refused, so needless to say I can't comment on the food as we never ate there. If anyone at the Dogan reads this don't you realise youy cost yourselves money by not caring about your customers!!!
The cleaning staff were very friendly, so was the girl on reception, and the beach staff. Customers should also be aware that they play music around the pool all day till about midnight
