Staff were friendly ,informative and helpfull( they have really good deals for sighseing tours and other city attractions) ,thanks to cleaning ladies for refreshing our towels and wonderfull breakfast.

The location was great in a quiet side street to the main bar/restaurant street in Sultan Ahmet, which was great. The hostel staff were very friendly, but as they had collaboration with some touristy hammams, it was not possible to get tips for cheaper local ones. The breakfast was good and served on the roof terrace with a great view. Taken into consideration that we later payed (almost) same price for a hotel double room (same area) as 2 beds in a 4 bed dorm at Metropolis it's a bit expensive.

Owner Comment (Show)
Dear guest, thank you very much for your comments and for staying with us, We have gave you 3 options for turkish bath from cheapest to the most expensive one and you chose the most expensive one so ,other thing that there are no any ''JUST'' local turkish bath as tourist are using baths more than turkish people , There are many hotels around here and most of them selling their last room much cheaper than other rooms specialy during the low season -week days- but this is only for low season , the hotel you stayed before probably is cost triple than before now, thank you and have great holidays in the feature..

Fantastic view from the roof top terrace bar. Centrally located, but also the heart of the tourist district, which means prices in that area are generally higher. Having said that, I'd go back again any time. Istanbul is beautiful and the hostel was grest.

The hostel is in an amazing location, very close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace which was very handy for our stay. The view from the rooftop bar was amazing and the complementary breakfast was very nice.

Great hostel on a perfect location. Staff is very helpful. Beds and bathrooms are okay. Rooftop room was okay, but still nice to hang out and meet other travellers, to eat the breakfast and has a splendid view. (Bike parking is outside, but with camera surveillance)

Friendly, helpful staff. Mediocre breakfast. Clean rooms and bathrooms. The associated cafe has very good food and a 10% discount for hostel guests. The website didn't say that they want payment in cash, and that was awkward. It would've been good to know that in advance.

Wonderful staff, incredible location. We were there at a very quiet time, so I can't comment on the social scene, but it has a ton of potential.
