We arrived to the hostel from an 11 hour flight, from the moment we walked in the staff were so friendly and helpful. They told us 'go get you shower and we will have a drink waiting for you when you get back up' when we arrived back to the reception there was three local beers waiting for us. Dan... More

I stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. The main reason for my stay was to meet up with friends and do some sight-seeing in Istanbul. We stayed in a 9-person dorm room. The room was simple; the safes inside were very handy, just be sure to bring your own padlock. Overall, it was great value for money. The location... More

Fantastic location to all the sights in Istanbul and lots of places to eat and drink just a street over. Great roof top for afternoon drinks and watching sunsets. Really good value for money. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

You can't do better for a location in Istanbul. Literally in shouting distance of both of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque...nice terrace bar and an adequate but simple breakfast. Pretty good price too...staff was very nice.

Paco is the main host there and he is also super cool and friendly. The balcony is a great place to just hang... More

Istanbul hostel is one of the best I have been so far. Ofcourse there is no place where everything you like but here i like many things. Best posible position on blue mosque square, very friendly stuff, view from terace is great, beds are comfortable (orthopedic matresses you will respect after night crawling very much), very nice place to stay...

The hostel was fine- bathrooms, rooms- all fine. The downstairs dorm could be a little noisy, but its all just luck of the guest draw. My only negative was the lack of social atmosphere, there was no real social area to the hostel. Otherwise great! I was especially pleased with the ajoining Tour Agency, which gave great recommendations

Stayed here with my family in April 2012. We were looking for a place in a central location and low price. The place was reasonably clean, close to all the places we wanted to visit and in a safe neighborhood. The guys who run the desk are friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the typical Turkish breakfast on the... More
