Old City Esma Hostel Reviews

As from before they were very welcoming and helped me with directions to where I wanted to go. One of the staff even remembered my daughter from last year!

Really nice place to stay. Really comfortable, unbelievably good location, helpful staff, lovely atmosphere, clean, not expensive... over all, i'd definitely recomend it for hostel people.

Was amazing, I think Hostelworld should always recomend this Hostel as the first option

The location is great, right in the center of Sultanemet. The prices are a little bit higher but it's Istambul and everythink is very expensive. They have warm rooms and big toilets. The hostel do not have a kitchen, and that is very important if you want to save some money. Food is very expensive in Istambul.

1. Atmosphere was good. 2. Staffs are excellently kind and helpful - Even memorize travelers' name. 3. lack of toilets and bathroom - only 2nd/3rd floor has 2 bath room. Compare to num of room/travelers, it's too small and have to wait in the morning time. Bathroom and toilet is not separated. 4. Dust behind bed, no heating system. 5. Printing is free!!! 6. Airport shuttle service. only 15 lira, very convenient. 7. excellent location just near tram st. 8. Baggage room after check out.

super close to all the tourist sights, very easy to get everywhere from Old City Esma. the rooms could get a little hot and stuffy though but otherwise everything was good.

I originally chose this hostel because of the great reviews and price. I would not recommend staying here for an extended period of time. There was always a long wait for the bathrooms (of the four bathrooms only one had consistent hot water). REALLY loud music almost every night (we were on the third floor). Tiny room (2 beds). On the plus side: can't beat the location, we paid for transportation to the airport (worth it!), good breakfast if you don't eat much in the morning.

Is the best hostel ever!!!!!!!

What should I say? I like the hostel and the staff is really nice. It was like another home.

Excellent hostel ! Close to tram, center. The staff is excellent too, nice and can help you if you are looking for something to do in Istanbul. I recommand it !

perfect hostel for young people good breakfast and turkish cai tea for free, atmosphere very familiar, nice rooftopveranda and all for a liitle money and in the best location-5mins to blue mosque and hagia sophia we would and we will come back for sure =)

I liked everything of this hostel. Very clean bathrooms and towels, terrace bar, staff and facilities. I would recommend other travelers to stay there!

Thank you for all of you help!

Awesome, I had one of my memorial nights there. You should go and meet those excellent staff, drink at terrace.

I believe they provide the best housing in Istanbul. They are so kind and eager to help people who stay there. Their facilities are very excellent. Also, I had a chance to meet people from all over the world.
