Metropolis Hostel Reviews

Nice hostel with nice staff. Very nice view from the roof (breakfast and bar). A common room to stay after 0h (when the bar closes) will be perfect

I had a great time at metropolis. There hostel is great and cleaned every day. They have an amazing roof top where they serve free breakfast and at nights at a bar. With amazing views. They also have a restaurant that is owned by themselves where the residents get a discount. Overall amazing experience.

very small rooms, but great location and clean.

It's a nice place, great location. There are much cheaper options about 15 mins walk further away from the main attractions if that's what you are after, but they certainly aren't as nice

Good free breakfast, fast internet ( included Wi-Fi) , cheap transfers , tours, library with full of books, clean rooms and bathrooms, cheap drinks in the roof top bar, amazingly friendly staff, organized pub crawl and FREE shisha night. Additionally spectecular view of bosphorus, in short this is just an awesome place

Lovely place in very good location, Good people working there which they would help anything you may need,free breakfast was quite good , Roof top terrace was awesome and is perfect place for meet fellow travelers, I met with many nice people from all around the world, Staying in this place was great pleasure and I felt sad when I had to leave, I am looking forward for coming this place again in the feature

Great location in Old Town, helpful owners, and good breakfast.

Location is perfect. The roof top is just amazing, you will meet a lot of other back packers. Dorms are fine. It is a nice value for money, part from the fact that they didn't want to cancel 1 nights even 48h before (stating that the policy is 72h... thanks). That was the only thing I didn't like about this place (I found it quite poorly played). So go there, but don't book anything but 1 night and then extend it everyday.

I found that the Hostel had a very good atmosphere with the rooftop bar, the staff was very nice and the view on to the golden Horn was excellent. Unfortunately the Hostel had no lockers for value stuff. Unfortunatelly the Hostel didn´t accept credit card. That is a small minus on the list.

The 6-person mix dorm room with 3 bank beds was extra clean, even if rather tiny, with nice fresh curtains and bedding. They sweep, dust and mop every day. Bathrooms were very clean too. There are plywood security boxes for everyone in the room that can fit a backpack and some personal stuff, thought their locks are pretty flimsy, honestly. Staff is very friendly. Standard free hotel breakfast in a rooftop bar.They will arrange a shuttle to the airport for only 6 euro a person and other tours.

Nice hostel in soltanahmed, location it's could not be better and the view from their roof is unbeatable. Free breakfast was quite nice for a hostel stay, Wi-Fi was available all around hostel and it was free.Their travel desk makes great deals on bus tickets, city tours also they have really cheap transpotation to the airports, cheap drinks are available on their room top bar, its definetly cheaper than any other bar in the main street where the many bars and restaurants located.

One of the staff there definitely is quite unsympathetic. Everyone else was very helpful!

Excellent location. A 5 mins walk away from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and all the other tourist attractions. Many restaurants located just right outside the hostel. You can book your tours, bus tickets, shuttle bus, Turkish bath etc from the hostel. Rooftop bar with relatively cheaper drinks and breakfast was good for hostel standard.

It's a nice Hostel! Really close to the main sights only 10 minutes walking to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. It's clean and stuff is friendly. It's a nice place to meet other people. The only bad thing is the bathroom has a bad smell but I recommend this hostel I had a good time there!

This place was absolutely incredible. Nice people, beautiful grounds, perfect location, and great breakfast. Highly recommend this place

Great location, very near to Blue Mosque, Ayasofia and Topkapi Palace! Roof terrace has spectacular view on the Bosporus and also a bit on Ayasofia, we enjoyed it very much. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day. The breakfast is every day the same, could be a bit more diverse. In overall, I would come back any time again!

Great place to stay - great location. The only complaint is the smell of the downstairs rooms due to the bathroom across the hall. Advice - shower in the upstairs showers. Staff was great! Very helpful and kind!

After our 6 days visit, I can really recommend this place for a stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were generally very clean. The biggest plus of this place is definitely the rooftop bar with its magnificent view over the Bosporus.

This hostel is only 10 minutes walk from the blue mosque and all thats happening on the european side of istanbul, so you save money on transportation. they also have a kick ass deal on shuttles to the airport which is nice, a discount on a turkish hamam which was an AMAZING experience. they didn't mention on hostel world that this hostel can pick you up via shuttle for a travelers price. sheets were clean. bathroom was dry. internet was speedy. staff was helpful. what else do you need?!

We stayed here for almost a week and tried to avoid being in the hostel room as much as possible. The shared bathroom was dirty and poorly attended to, my friend and I had to take our own tissues in there for a few days because there was no toilet paper. No hand wash for a few days either. Crappy wifi, very spotty. It's very VERY loud and noisy if you have a room at the top of the restaurant. The main door is very difficult to open. Rude staff. Bed gave us a rash. Won't stay here again.
