Hands down the best staff and location for your stay in Istanbul. The owner is one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met. You can sense his sincere care and interest in your stay. It was a welcome haven for some of the chaotic elements of Istanbul

The receptionist was very kind and nice! This hostel has a warm atmosphere just like a family. There is a lounge on the top. The view was really great. And breakfast was also fantastic. Also the location was closed to the blue mosque and araska bazar. Everything was perfect!!

Good location - off the the beaten track a bit, comfortable accomodations, helpful staff, neighborhood with a wide choice of restaurants and a few good shops and mini-marts. Usual number of rug merchants per Istanbul normal. Located in Sultenahment section - easy to get to. Easy walking distance to Istanbul sites.

Stayed here for two nights before heading to Cyprus (left luggage): great double room - solid WiFi on third floor, hot water/amazing water pressure, great common room/rooftop, filling breakfast buffet. Super helpful, friendly staff. Walking distance to everything! Definitely recommend.
