Great location. Generally really good, helpful staff. Stayed in a private 4 bed room where the room was cramped and bathroom was small and shower annoying but great value for money and really comfortable beds with our own balcony. There was another, good shower down the hall we used too. I would definitely stay there again - it was more like a hotel then a hostel for us.

The bathroom was fairly dirty & so was the bedroom. When I arrived the floors obviously hadn't been cleaned for some time, the bin was overflowing and I have my doubts about whether all the sheets were changed. It was very noisy on a night and the room was very small for 7 people. However it was lovely and warm, the staff were friendly, the breakfast was ok and it was very close to all the main sites.

The room is very dirty, clean it maybe once a year, the shower is leaking, in each corner of the ceiling has a spider web. The staff is very attentive and kind .... The breakfast was good, location is excellent. It´s difficult to properly clean a room when check out is at 11 and check in at 11 and 30 hours, 30 minutes it is impossible to clean. .A common area is good and has a great terrace with beautiful view of the Sea of ​​Marmara.

I definitely liked the place, with a special big up to the staff there. Nice and very helpfull, you can always count on them for a nice tea or a narguilé on the awesome terrasse! I warmly recommend Sydney Hostel, and of course this is where I'll be staying for my next trip to Istanbul. PS: they thaught me a fantastic card game called pichté, you should try it !

The hostel is located in a very nice area. But it lucks of the faminine care for the cleanliness and unfortunately the bathroom is not ventilated so that smells. I donnot know if this is fixable. In generally I found the price per night overvalued by person.
