We spent very pleasant couple of days in Dosi, bearing in mind what you pay for - it is definitely amongst the cheapest.
The room we had was spacious, however felt quite dated. The entire hotel is begging for a serious renovation, however is quite tidy overall. We did not mind too much, we were focused on spending time outside, but we would not travel there with the kids - despite a dedicated corner in the garden and a shallow pool.
The food is a very solid Turkish allinclusive standard. Good variety of choice among the cold stuff, hot stuff, sweet stuff plus 'live cooking' - grill sessions and fresh pasta. Big props to the grill master - the guy was fun to watch, seemed to really enjoy what he was doing and making a show out of it.
The entire staff is very kind, supportive and fun. The hotel beach is located 25min walk away but there is a shuttle bus. Otherwise the closest sea access is less than 10 min out.
One more thing to bear in mind - the hotel seemed to be more German oriented - if you are looking for animations in hotel, bear in mind that they are primarily led in German, but also translated to English. Also we were primarily addressed in German - not a bad thing, we did not mind that, but led to couple of misunderstanding as my German is below basic 😉

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!

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.

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!
