Metropolis Hostel Reviews

The staff were very friendly, and spoke great English. The building smelt a bit musty, probably due to poor air circulation from the bathrooms. Great view from the roof-deck.

This was a good hostel in the center of old city, rooms were good priced and included breakfast was tasty, Wi-Fi was available- free of charge - they have also 2 computers.Staff were friendly and informative, also organize cheap transfers to airports, city tours with good prices, etc..Roof top bar was just lovely and views are incredible. We had enjoyable, great stay.

Well located hostel with a spectecular view from the roof,the hostel runing by superfriendly helpful brothers and they provide great accomodations,free internet was fast and the breakfast was really really good. The drinks on thier roof top bar was cheap compare to other restaurnats/bars in the area so with the perfect view it makes this place just a cool spot to chill out or meet with fellow travelrs, overall it great place to stay in istanbul, I would stay here without any doubt.

The hostel consists of two buildings: the main building is located in a back street and therefore very quiet. However, if you pick one of the rooms in the 2nd building, which is right above the restaurant on he "main street" be prepared for a very noisy night...

it was a nice hostel, closed tu the blue mosque, agia sophia and the topkapi palaca, it's a very nice area full of restaurants and bars. The staff was very kind with us, we booked our bus to cappadoccia, two tours in cappadocia and the balloon, so it ws very useful. The wc and the showers were'nt very clean but you could take a bath and then just enjoy istanbul! so no big problem.

First time in Istanbul and loved it. I guess mostly because of the excellent location and hostel I got. Its safe, clean and at a great location. If I'll be very critical, rooms are very small and hostel is little hard to find. Rest is all positive. I'll recommend anyone to try that.

There should be a common area, other than the rooftop bar where backpackers can stay and mingle. The Internet does not reach the rooftop or the 3rd floor very well. A stronger router should be used.

This was an awesome hostel and we really had awesome time there with  fellow travelers, The breakfast was the best I ever had and the view from the roof is outstanding, The key for the hostel, cleaning , atmosphere, value, staff , roof top bar and definetly location, Special thanks to the staff for organizing pub crawl and free nargelah and to the 2 ladies for the delicious  breakfast & chay

Great hostel amazing staff and lovely breakfast.

I had a great experience. Metropolis has a great location, and really is around the corner from most of the major sights. What's also convenient is that most of the other hostels in the Sultanahmet are on the same street as Metropolis, which is great for meeting fellow travelers. Couldn't ask for a better atmosphere, the rooftop bar is nice and not too overwhelming. Maybe I just got lucky, but all of my hostel mates were really friendly and congenial. One down side; their no outside food policy.

Hostel sits on two parts. A four story old residential building with a charming rooftop bar, and an extra accommodation section across the road above a restaurant. We have stated in both sides. The hostel is old but well maintained. The rooms are spacious with clean beds. The showers are hot and clean. The wifi is unreliable and slow. The two staff members are uninterested. Breakfast is run by two ladies and is very good. Location is behind a bustling food street, excellent location!

Fantastic hostel in the center of old city,beautiful terrace overlooking boshphorus & asian side of Istanbul and really good breakfast, rooms were fine and bathrooms clean , staff was really friendly and provide so many information you may need,the social life of the hostel was good , their roof top bar is perfect place to meet with other travelers, I would recommend to do pubcrawl to is so much fun and is a good & safe option for joining istanbul nightlife. Overall we had fantastic time.

Fantastic views, lovely rooms recommended...

Room is very clean, everything is new. Staff is very friendly and always helpful.

Beautiful hostel in the hearth of the city and with an incredible view from their roof top terrace, Our room was super clean as well as the bathrooms,Free breakfast in the morning was amazing,this is a great hostel if you like to meet with other travelers and having fun. The owner was super friendly and organize some events such a free shisha night and pub crawl,The guy work at reception was really knowledgeable and  made our stay  compfortable, overall is a place not to be missed and definitely

Wonderful location although it was confusing to find the first time. The rooftop cafe was a great place to start our day and the restaurant a nice place to end it. The staff were very helpful.

Central location friendly, efficient staff, value for money..

This was an average hostel, not worth the price. The terrace and the breakfast were really good but the room was cold and they didn't have an extra blanket to give me.

EXCELLENT HOSTEL! We have been traveling for while and have stayed in many hostel during our trip and Metropolis Hostel is the best one so far. The location is awesome, just a few mins walk to most of tourist spots, rooms and bathroom were spotless, the view from balcony OMG is stunning, l just did not want to leave. Also, staff were the friendliest people both at hostel and restaurant.

Amazing experience at metropolis hostel. They picked us up from airport and were given all information on arrival about istanbul and what to do. Booked us in some discounted tours which was really good way to expole the city. The breakfast served at roof bar was really good and l guess it was much better than most of okay hotels l have stayed before. Super nice room with sea view, you pay a bit more for view but it is absolutely worth every penny. l would definitaly stay here again.
