Cordial House Hostel Reviews

For those who are seeking cheap places, it is one of the best. For those seeking a good location, it is located close to sultan ahmet (Blue)mosque, the grand bazaar, 4 stations away from Cornish and the Egyptian Bazaar, 5 stations from Galata tower. Also, there are lots of nearby shops for those who favor shopping. The staff are really decent, helpful and friendly. The place is Secure and clean, even the shared bathrooms are regularly cleaned. The only drawback is that the rooms are small.

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.

Excellent location, at walking distance from Aya Sophia, Topkapi palace and the Blue Mosque. Safe environment. Pity the heating system was broken (thankfully it wasn\'t too cold).

It\'s a very nice hostel, very clean and close to all main buildings. Compliments!

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.
