Istanbul Hostel Reviews

We took a private for one night between the flights. Our room was separate from the hostel together with 2 more rooms (privates, I guess). The facility (former appartment?) also had 2 shower rooms and a kitchen. Everything was new and clean. We also had breakfast, which was served on the hostel rooftop - and THAT is a very nice spot. Staff is nice and helpful. And location is marvellous - just 3-5 mins on foot to Aya Sofia.

Great location, kind staff and a social atmosphere. This place seems to attract the right kind of travellers.

great location very easy to find free brekfast was nice

Perfectly located hostel for a good night and a sunny breakfast on the terrace

we had a really great stay as a group of psychology students from around europe invaded. staff very helpful. food could be better and don't forget to bring a padlock for the lockers. Chris

I really liked it there! Everything I wanted to visit was really close. Prices were standard and I liked their hospitality. Would reccomend it!

i was a bit nervous about booking a 20 person dorm but it was very spacious that it wasnt an issue, location is good and the wifi connection is great.

Excellent location. Kind staff. Great view from the roof restaurant.

i enjoyed my stay , friendly stuff , good atmosphere, i will miss them too much and also miss Istanbul

Great roof top bar

very freindly and helpful staff, even travel agent was very helpful

It's an "ok" Hostel. Things work fine (reception 24 hours, travel agency inside, good beds and good sheets, not dirty, they even give you umbrellas when it rains), but it misses small important things, like more hangers for the clothes in the bathrooms, more toilets (prefencially separated from the shower place, lockers). The guy in the reception was nice but gave us wrong information about transport and taxis (he said it wasn't a problem to take a taxi in the street but we had a huge problem!)

Location, view from the terrace and stuff are great! I left battery from my camera in the hostel, but hostel stuff managed to send it across all the Turkey to my new location. Thanks a lot!

We had a very good stay in Istanbul Hostel. The staff was really nice, beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the location was perfect : in the very middle of the major touristic places (Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace).

Fantastic staff and really helpful as well wıth organısıng plans to other places wıthın turkey. great envıronment to meet people and ın a great locatıon. nothıng negatıve can be saıd about thıs hostel. hıghly recommended!

Let me stay for extra day and organised nice turkish bath

Great hostel. Only thing lacking was a nice common space/bar to hang out at. Everyone I met here was kind and friendly and the staff were very helpful. One warning: no lockers in the 20-person room, so if this is important to you, get the 6-person for a little more.

Staff quite passive, not helping a lot and very short of words. Seems they would have been forced to work there without willingness on their side.

Emre and Paco were very friendly and helpful and treated us like family. The rooftop Terrace had an awesome view and the food was great. Friends we met in the city were welcome to visit us and drink and eat in the terrace also.

Stayed here because it had good ratings... great place to stay in Istanbul. Roof is a great place to rest after a day running around this great City. Will stay here again.
