Five friends and I stayed at this hostel and had an amazing time in Istanbul and a large part of that came down to the fantastic staff at Bahaus! We were there for 3 nights and the staff took us out for 2 of those nights. They took us straight to the best clubs which saved us a lot of footwork and even helped us cut the lines. Great rooms and very clean! One piece of advice, dont give Murat any tequilla!

At breakfast there was no juice and the tea and coffee were really bad. If you exchange turkish pounds to euros the rate is 2TL = 1€ but when you do it the other way around it's 1€ = 2,5TL. For your information, the exchange rate is 2.3TL for 1€, so try being honest with people staying at your hostel. Also, several days my friends and I didn't have hot water in the bathrooms.

Great hostel, the owner was amazing and looked after us so well. We drank in the upstairs every evening and had so much fun with the other travellers.

Wikedly comfortable beds, wifi throughout, free coffee and tea, a bar/lounge area upstairs to socialize...this is a great hostel! There isn't a kitchen to cook food in, but this really isn't a problem budget-wise, since you can find cheap food around. The only thing that would be nice is if you could bring snacks or drinks in :(

My girlfriend and I stayed there for four nights and loved it. The staff were exceptionally friendly, open, and helpful, even willing to sit down and have a drink with you. The location was perfect, a five minute walk to the Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque and about an 8 minute walk to the Sultanahmet tram stop. It was one of the cleanest hostels that I've ever stayed in and the room we stayed in was what we'd expect out of a hotel, not a hostel, (double bed and flatscreen tv!) so it's great value.

Thanks for making my Istanbul trip so memorable! I saw so many sights and made such good friends that I already want to come back in the summer or spring. Your staff was super friendly especally Zuha, you're the best! Security was tight an the facilities were clean, beds were comfy and the common area was chill. Best hostel I've stayed in! keep up the good work guys. I'll be back ;)
