Cordial House Hostel Reviews

Unbeatable price, unbeatable location and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone traveling to Istanbul in the future.

I booked 8 beds dorm. The location is pretty good. It is clean place, nice baths and toilets. But never try to buy anything in hostel's bar, they are incredible expensive.

I didn't expect to have a red carpet beneath my feet but I couldn't shake the feeling that the desk guy was somehow annoyed that I merely showed up. Then again, the hostel is a lot bigger than I'd thought it was, so perhaps with the volume of people going in and out, it's less personal than a small hostel would be. I slept for most of the time I was there, because of many previous nights on buses. The bathrooms were a bit rank, but other than that, I got what I paid for. Not bad, but not great.

They have a elevator and the location is good. The staff were not friendly or helpful.

The value for money is excellent but some facilities would be appreciated, like the possibility to access to the wi fii from the rooms.

I think that if they have locked cabinets at the shared rooms, it will be better...

For the price, was a fantastic hostel. Great location near sights and tramline. Comfortable bunk beds and clean bathrooms. Tourist information office in the building.

The rooms are extremely cold. The staff is not very helpful when it comes to pointing out fun places to go. When I asked for a restaurant recommendation, the response was "you can eat anywhere." Also, every light in the building is on a 3 second timer so if you don't move for 3 seconds, they go out...even in the bathrooms. Would not recommend this place for single travelers as it is very difficult to meet other guests since the place is much more like a hotel than a hostel.

İts close to tram station,mc donoalds,supermarket,sultanahmet and other places to see!there is wifi in reception area and as well as in huge cafe!its nice to spend a time and friendly staff especially murat!as i am a turkish citizen i wasnt expecting a hostel like that to be honest!There are some many good points to stay in here; -its cheap -helpfull staff -newly refurbished and clean The only bad point is there is no locker in dorm room Overall it was great escape for me!

The hostel was nice enough, but the bar/cafe was almost always empty and there weren't lockers in the room, which would have been a definite plus. Other than that the hostel was good. Great location and friendly staff.

Hostel is good, cheap and on great location, with cheap parking near (10e/day). Everything thad traveler need...

Good and cheap Hostel in very good location. At the night was cold.

Good location in heart of old town, close to main sights. Staff pretty unhelpful but breakfast was good.

I was a great experience in this Hostel, nice location close to the main spots in Istambul. I just suggest that staff be more friendly!!!

Staffs didn't make any mistake but their attitude was brusque and I felt uncomfortable. Dishes in the breakfast were all plastic. Spaces on ground and B1 floor looked modern design. It may be a good place to save money but if you want to communicate with local Turkish and feel warmth of human beings, I cannot recommend this hostel.

The place was great value for money. The rooms and bathrooms very clean. Very large common area. Close to all the old town attractions. Staff went out of their way to help. You really can't expect anything more for the price. My only one improvement would be is to have top sheets provided as well in the dorm rooms.

Great location. Very close to a tram stop. Funky smell in the hallway, otherwise clean and tidy. Good value for money.

Its very nice place very clean teh breakfast is like buffet and very turkish, the hostel is close of all turistic places..

Don't know how the word "cordial" can describe this place. The staff were super unfriendly, didn't have the time of day for the simplest of questions. We were disappointed in the kitchen--I don't know what you would be able to cook in it because they lack even coffee mugs, utensils, plates, etc. It seems that they force you to buy their drinks and breakfasts by not providing you the necessary equipment to make your own. Also, they charge for every little thing. But, it was clean and modern.

when we are using common room with some unknow people, it would be better if we have cupboard with some locking system,
