The hostel is very conveniently located, only a few minutes walk from the historic heart of Istanbul. It is in a back street which is thankfully a bit quieter than many hostels directly situated directly on Akbiyik Caddesi. The room was clean and the staff friendly and helpful .The view from the terrace is great, and there are plenty of restaurants around. While I cannot compare to other hostels in Sultanahmet, there are certainly cheaper, good hotels in OTHER areas of Istanbul.

The hostel was very clean and well placed. However, it was hard to get a good night's sleep underneath the rooftop bar and the staff tricked my friend and I into paying almost triple for a ride to the airport. We asked for a taxi, and he charged us for a special shuttle booked through the hostel that it was clear we didn't need or want. I live in Turkey, and will not be coming back here in the future when I'm in Istanbul.

The terrace was very nice and the breakfast was good, but there were no other common areas. My friend and I stayed in a 4 bed mixed dorm for two nights and ended up cancelling the other two nights of our reservation. The room was the size of a closet with no room to put our belongings, and both nights we were woken between 3-5 AM to roommates who were either arriving or leaving. The staff seemed nice, but be aware that if you change a reservation they will keep your deposit!

Very close to the main sights and the main backpacker street. If you get lost on the way there, just ask a local on each corner and you'll get there easily! Tiny room crammed with 2 bunks, so was not ideal especially as most of the rooms are very spacious. Lockers are outside the rooms, but quite secure. Good vibe and friendly staff, but our room was far too small for 4 people.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at the Metropolis Hostel. The staff are very helpful and funny (KING Murad, that's you!). We also enjoyed our lunch and dinner at your restaurant. Thank you so much for tolerating our insane night-long laughter at the restaurant!

This is a great hostel! The location could not be better; it is right next to all of the major sights such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The rooftop terrace free breakfast is amazing and has a great view. The staff are very helpful and nice. The only downsides are a small room and a rather questionable bathroom. But still, for its cost, I'd say it's the best place to stay in Istanbul!

The best ever you can get in istanbul! Location is excellent, the rooms are very charming and clean. Breakfast is delightful. Moreover, what really makes the difference is the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. They do try to make sure you have a good time in istanbul.
