Absolutely one of the best hostels that I have ever stayed in. Firstly, the staff is wonderful and quite welcoming. Any questions, comments, concerns or general conversation - they are willing to provide be it in English or attempting to learn or practice Turkish. Secondly, the rooms. I stayed in the 14 bed dormitory and when I booked, I was hesitant to stay in a room like this. However, it is worth its value. The facilites are very clean. The terrace and bar are lovely spaces to meet guests.

Overall this hostel has a good vibe and the staff are friendly. I had a few issues, like they did not show up to pick me up at the airport as scheduled, and then put me in a dorm with dudes when i had booked a female dorm. But they were nice about fixing the issues, and i had a good stay overall.

Very friendly and helpfull staff, despite the fact that in the beginning something was wrong with the booking. Also the rooftop- people upstairs are friendly and fun. They're creative, give you any information u need, and take good care of you. I would recommend varying the breakfast though.... after 3-4 days it would be nice to see some change. Shared bathrooms are really clean! The rooms could have been cleaned more often (twice in 10 days might not be enough). Overall a good pick.

Definetely not true that we cleaned your room twice in ten days,we clean every room at least once İf it is so why you kept extending your staying in our hostel 5 more days. This is hard to understand. Like your saying your booking was wrong but we still help you to stay with us also if your room was not clean why you never told us this while you were chating with us everyday.

Amazing hostel. Great location around all the historical landmarks and a rooftop balcony/bar/breakfast area that can't be beat. Staff are great and I thoroughly recommend going to the dinners, tours and pub crawls. They're dirt cheap and they really bring the place together.

A brilliant hostel! The location (a stone's throw away from the Blue Mosque and the tram line) is perfect for sight-seeing; the staff members are all wonderful; the organised events (such as the walking tour off the beaten track and the pub crawl) are great; and the general atmosphere is just excellent. My favourite aspect of this hostel is the amazing rooftop bar and terrace where you have free breakfast each morning, and socialise over drinks (or a meal made by the lovely Stef) in the evening

An oasis in Istanbul. It's one of the best hostels I've been, great atmosphere, good security , nice breakfast, and an amazing staff. It's location is perfect if you're trying to explore Istanbul's main attractions, well connected to tram, bus, and train (inter. Finally,the Roof top bar is great to make new friends and very social too.

Unfortunately it is very loud in the hostel, probably because of the thin doors.

You are wrong,.our walls are very thick indeed.Probably you are annoyed that, we are a social and party hostel ...and you knew it before you booked with us because we describe our hostel very clearly in our description.

Excellent location, spacious and clean dorms with good beds and small details like curtains for privacy and big lockers that make your staying much more pleasent. Plenty of toilets and good showers. Staff is fantastic! Not only friendly but also very dedicated helping you get the most out of your time in Turkey. They also organise social activities and tours making it easy to meet other travelers. Pub crawl on Saturdays is a MUST DO. Breakfast served on terrace with great view is fabulous!
