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.

Amazingly located. Short walk from Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya, close to Sultan Ahmet train station, which connects across the Galata Bridge and pretty much everything you'll want to see in Istanbul. Incredibly clean, the staff clean every day. Rooftop has an excellent view, and breakfast is filling. Unfortunately, I heard an argument between staff and other visitors in which the staff proved to be very rude and unprofessional. Only other down side is the shared bathrooms.
