I liked the hostel, it had a nice rooftop terrace, a small dining room, and a small living room. The staff were nice, and the breakfast (cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, cheese, bread, cookies) was delicious. The location (near Galata tower) was also a big plus.

Small and cozy place, although it was cold outside; it was warm inside. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The place around the hostel is amazing with Galata tower just 1 min walk away and many souvenir shops everywhere. You will not get to worry about transportation late at night since it is just a 5 min walk away from Taksim area where everything is happening there. Surly gonna stay there on my next visit!!

All of the staff were lovely and helpful! I have not one complaint about my stay!!! Rapunzel is located in a really fun, trendy seeming district, but is also close to all of the tourist sights as well. Breakfast is a bit late, but still quite reasonable. You can walk pretty much anywhere you would like to go and the staff is more than willing to give you maps or suggestions. If you're shy there's a laptop in the common room you can use to map things out instead.

This hostel is conveniently located within the going out district of Taksim so it's easy to get to the bars and clubs. It's also right in the middle of the massive hill so you are always trekking and getting a good workout as this hill is steep! The hostel was a little pokey, breakfast pretty average and with a hospital across the road and mosque next door it can get noisy. It's fine for somewhere to stay in Istanbul if you want to stay in the Taksim area.

Loved the cozy space, not too big, but comfortable. I met a couple of young travelers, in spite of it´s small size. The staff made everything possible to make guests comfortable. They also have a great music playlist that they play in the lounge area most times. I also enjoyed the food items given for the free breakfast. The only negatives were that they did not offer free towels and the floors can be bit noisy. But I would still stay there again and recommend it for the cost value.

The Turkish breakfast was excellent - olives, bread, spreads, apple/orange, tomato, cucumber, coffeecake (but we chose to get our morning coffee separately at the super close Cherrybean Cafe which has terrific coffee!). The shower was the best I had in Turkey - clean, plenty of hot water, and good pressure. I didn't find the hostel the best for meeting people, except for during breakfast. The terrace was nice too, but would be much better in the summer! The staff was friendly and helpful.

A really good hostel located in a great part of Istanbul. The rooms were nice and clean, and the all day tea and coffee facilities were a great touch. Perhaps not the most social of hostels to stay in for a single traveller, but nonetheless I would recommend this hostel.
