The staff were really healful. Like I have crutches they help me to carry my suitcase. The food at the backbackers is really nice. I really recomend this place to stay.

this place is awful. at first, they are redirecting you to another place. they have additional buildings near streets, with no logo, no reception, no wi-fi etc. so pictures on hostelworld are misleading for this hostel. and they wven cant witdraw form credit cards. staff was also awful. i reserved twin ensuite & they gave me a kind of dorm away from original location. backstreets of sultanahmet square & it seems very unsecure. concisely stay away from this hostel.

This is the most disorganized place I've ever stayed.It has internet if you seat outside and connect to someone else's network.The place is nothing like the webpage.Left the key at reception,they couldn't find it,1 1/2 hours to get in the room.If you do stay there don't get a front room the noise from the street doesn't stop.

overpriced and falsely advertised. Many of the facilities advertised were not available.

Excellent location, just a few minutes from the major sites. The staff were quite nice, although they never seemed to have their act together entirely. Definitely good value for a clean, private room with AC in Sultanhamet though. I'd stay again.

Great location, nice friendly staff and tidy enough rooms but really loud all night/morning. Try and get a top story room.
