It is extremely easy to find as it is right on a tram line so when you arrive you are completely stress free. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and with really reasonable prices. The location is close to cheap food, the old city attractions, the ferry wharf and also a tram line if you want to head over to taksim. The common room is extremely social and always has people up there in the afternoons chilling out preparing for the night ahead. wifi in rooms and free breakfast. STAY HERE!!

This is probably the best hostel I've ever been in. The atmosphere was absolutely extraordinary. Special thanks to Mahmood and Hossein, who were so friendly, kind to everyone, eager to help you with everything you need, even offer their own food :). Also the breakfasts were great and if you're romantic, you have to enjoy Istanbul view from the top floor. Moreover, the hostel owner still tries to improve the hostel quality and definitely cares about the hostel guests. So, just visit it and see :)

I know the owner wants to improve his hostel all the time. Here are just a few references: - paper towels and soap for the toilets in the corridor - one toilet in the corridor is not lockable anymore - electric wire or sth. in the shower (12 bed dormitory) - looks dangerous - make sure that all escape doors are useable, just in case!

I had an AMAZING! time at the hostel! Mahmood and Hosein made this stay unforgettable for me! They can read any wish you want from you, make you laugh a lot and show you the best sides of Istanbul. The roof-deck and the view from this location is just perfect! A perfect place to start the day with the included breakfast! Hold on to that! One slight improvement: WiFi in the dorms would be great, although its already available on the top floor.

Hello, I can honestly say that Harmony Hostel was a very translucent experience. The beds aren't stacked on each other affording exponential privacy for the guests. The Rami, Nadim, Momad and Hussein ( I probably butchered the names) are the friendliest humans I've met on my 8 months of hostel bouncing. The view of Sophia and the bay to Istanbul is epic an the lounge upstairs is comfortable and super for chilllaxing! Thanks for the stay and beat wishes Keep on flying Adam

Nice hostel really close to the principal places like Haghia Sophia and Blue Mosque, making easy the visits. The staff also is really kind on information and booking tours getting better prices.

Famous quote from owner, "My name is Oslo. I come from Czechoslovakia and I know nothing." LOL. You have to talk to Nedim, the owner. He talks a little crazy, but it's the good kind of crazy. All of the staff is absolutely amazing. Hussein, Mahmoud, Rami, Bassam and Maya are the best! They're one of the most friendliest and helpful people I've ever met. I have also never felt so at home here. I love this place! If I'm ever back in Istanbul, this is the only place I will ever stay at.

We really had a great time in Harmony hostel, the people that works in there, Mahmood and Rami, are very nice and very kind, they always answer all the questions you have and they give you the best recommendations from where to go or what to do. Is very well located, very near form the blue mosque and gran bazaar and also from the port. We totally recommend the hostel. Clean rooms, very very good breakfast and best price

Wonderful friendly staff, who will cook amazing french toast for breakfast and tasty dinners!! Great location with rooftop terrace! Only complaints, the lockers do not come with locks, the shower was a bit confusing, and bathroom rugs would be nice as it was very slippery without...
