so far the best hostel I have ever stayed. really friendly and helpful staff on top of the fantastic location of the hotel. is a little bit confusing when reading the hotel instruction about finding the hotel but if u really follow the instruction, there won't be any difficulties at all. i stay in the 3 beds dom and I had really lovely dom mate. even my picky girl friend enjoyed her stay there a lot. well done!

Really great hostel - super clean showers, lots of hot water and very comfortable mattresses. Free water and internet and an awesome roof terrace too. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

The hostel is nice, the staff helpul and friendly. Breakfast until 9:30 is in my opinion not long enough. If your coming to breakfast at 9:15 you have to take the leftovers =( The place is at Sultanahmet, so you have to be aware that it is in an artifical toursit area.

Considering check out time is 10.30 and check in time is 13.30 (you knew that before you book a bed because it's clear in our description) when do you think we can have time to clean all the beds and rooms and breakfast area if we serve the breakfast any longer than 9.30???? How come breakfast can be left over at 9.15 ...boiled eggs? jam and butter in preserved box? or covered cheese and olives? or fresh bread.? Yes place in Sultanahmet here all the touristic attractions are but as far as I know neither Blue Mosgue nor Topkapı palace or Hagia sophia or Grand Bazaar list can go on and on are ARTIFICIAL. Whole world know that they are real but not you.

Great location, just like all the other reviews attest. Easy to meet people at breakfast or at the rooftop bar. Very clean, and staff will assist you with all of your needs. Bring a small lock for the lockers as the average size lock wont fit, or you can purchase one here - too easy. Bring earplugs if you have trouble sleeping as this is a very social/party hostel (a plus in my book).

The only problem was that the bar closed at 12 on a saturday evening, everything else was great

Owner Comment (Show)
Athanasios you knew that every saturday night we organise free pup crawl event, most of the guest joined us but you prefered to stay in our bar, obviously when we leave the the bar with all the guest, we have to close the bar and this happens only saturday night ! So this shouldn't be a problem.

Hostel is on great spot, great terrace, breakfast and helpful staff. Hostel is very clean, there even strange kind of plastic covers on toilet seat, which you can renew by moving a lever on a plastic magazine placed on the back of the seat. Very interesting mechanism, but it made the seat a bit smaller for my bottom :-))) Great idea with the lockers and possibility to buy a lock. Anyway keypads used to enter the room doesn ´t seem to me very loud when punching the code.
