一泊でしたが手頃な値段のドームルームに泊まりました。 最高のロケーションでレセプションのレッドワンはとても親切な方でした。 部屋は居心地が良くてきれいでした。 滞在する価値のあるドームルームです。

Overall a good, clean hostel. I would recommend, except the night desk attendee is somewhat abrasive and rude. In response to a request to turn on the AC, he suggested I leave if I thought the room was too hot. Other than that incident, an overall great stay. They have a great, albeit underused roof deck. If the staff planned a few events here and there this hostel could go from good to great.

If you get a room which is pointing to the street is it very hard to sleep.

Had a wonderful time. The hostel is very clean, safe and close to most of the major attractions. Only thing missing was a kitchen and a fridge to leave food. But, I guess the great breakfast makes up for it ! The staff is very friendly and kind. They made me feel at home ! Also wifi was good and quite fast !

Big Apple Hostel is one of if not the best hostel I have stayed in. I was traveling with five girls and were all made to feel extremely comfortable and at home. The staff were unbelievable--friendly, funny, helpful. The facilities are clean and there are 2 showers and an extra toilet in the big dorm. The roof terrace breakfast is excellent value and a wonderful place to relax any time of day. Ilkay who works at the front desk was especially friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return!

Everything you would expect from a hostel. Good variety in the breakfast and nice rooftop patio to eat and relax on. The staff were very friendly but on a couple of occasions just let themselves into our dorm room without knocking and it was a little bit awkward.

This was a fantastic plcae to stay! The rooms were amazingly clean, the sheets smelled good, and the washrooms were always kept in pristine condition. I was hungry at midnight one day, and the receptionist was nice enough to order a fantastic kebab for me, delivered to the hostel. If I came back to istanbul, I'd stay here.
