Second Home Hostel Reviews

This hostel is awesome, we had an all-around great experience. 4 stories with rooftop patio. Hookahs offered at night. Walking distance from all main historic sites in Saltunahmet. Breakfast was traditional and great. Definitely recommend SecondHome Hostel in Istanbul

Good place to stay regarding the location and the include breakfast. Nevertheless we were at the first floor, which seems to be the toilet floor for the staff friends...

We were treated with respect and friendliness at all times. The staff's enthusiasm and concern for the guests' well being must aso be highlighted and the hostel had many facilities which made our stay easier. It was a very friendly environment particularly during breakfasts and at the organized bbq/s on the rooftop! I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Emily

They staff was very helpful and friendly, willing to do whatever was necessary to make sure my stay was an enjoyable one. Everything was very nice, thought out, and served the customers well If you are seeking a quiet atmosphere to get good sleep, this place is not for you. Although things did quiet down around 2am. But aside from that, it was my best hostel experience yet.

so let just say that after being so many different hostel so many different countries this is my favourite , they relaxation and kindness that shon and they colleagues give you is like be at a 2nd home ,i stay here for three days but extend it to nearly week ,the welcome tea and when they think you ready they give you advice what they believe is good to see also telling were to avoid tourist trap of restaurant, this give you a glimpse of Turkish kindness hospitality ,

verry good hostel, clean, near to the centrer of Istanbul, verry good staff!

I had a fantastic trip to Turkey and I do not doubt that this was largely due to my wonderful experience at Second Home. There is no way that I can thank the staff at Second Home enough for going above and beyond for all of their guests. To other travelers, if you stay at Second Home you will have the best experience and will count the days until you can go back. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Miss you guys!!!! ~C.S~

Excellent - great staff, great location, couldn't fault it.

Had a great stay! Thank you to Memo and the rest of the staff for a wonderful trip. They were unbelievably accommodating and very knowledgeable about the city. No AC or fan in the room, so I imagine it could get a little hot in the summer months. Regardless, this is the place to stay if you are traveling to Istanbul.

very good experience, helpfully staff, everyone makes you feel like home! Close to the places of interest. Will definitely stay again if visit Istanbul! Will upload the pictures as soon as I can:) Lin & Tryfon

Location is excellent, just few minutes walk to to Topkapi, Yerebatan, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Galata bridge and Egyptian bazar :-) And Memo and other guys were very nice, friendly and helpful. Just smaller rooms and less space for clothing. Very good place to stay.

The hostel has a great location. The common room is maybe a small disapointment, it's not the place where you can really hang around. But after all we had a great stay in this hostel.

Memo and the team were helpful. Close to old city. We were upgraded to a private room at dorm prices.

We had an amazing time here, memo and can were very accommodating to all of our needs and even took us out for a fabulous night on the town. The hostel is in a fantastic location, close to all tourist sites and the metro. We loved it so much we came back a second time after traveling Greece.

Great people and perfect location!!

The people were great and the location and price were unbeatable. They were even able to arrange to take me to the airport with short notice. My only problem was that it was so loud far into the night and I really needed sleep, that I wish I would have brought ear plugs. I would definitely come back though.

Best hostel in town! I had so much fun with the staff, they are all very friendly. The location is perfect, close to all the main historic buildings. The place is clean and the homemade food is delicious!

Thanks Memo and the rest. We thank u a lot for your hospitality and the free upgrade. We miss u guys....

This was my first time traveling alone and I could not have picked a better hostel. The staff is very helpful and welcoming and create an atmosphere easy for mingling. The only problem I can think of is that the map they provide is not good; so make sure to purchase your own!

Memo and Can (Jon) were very nice! I had a lot of fun at this hostel. They took us out to party and I really enjoyed ıt.
