it was a nice hostel, with good location and a staff that was there to help you whenever you needed. The breakfast could have been better and there was a bit too noicy both outside and inside the hostel :) But i guess that is Istanbul - so if you want to experience the town, World Hostel is the right place to stay.

This was a great choice. Excellent location and super-helpful staff. Breakfast was very good and the area around galata tower is not as expensive as more touristic areas in sultanahmed. We only had problems with the WiFi connection but the staff was always there to help and would solve it quickly. If you want a nice place to stay that is still affordable this is definitely an good deal!

The hostel was absolutely friendly and hostile, the location is amazing and overall very recommendable with some lovely staff members:) For having only 1 toilet per floor I mark a minus though.

The inside is cozy and the location is awesome. You can walk around 5 minutes to get Galata bridge. But it is on a hill, so you should walk upstairs. Traveller who has carrier may be uncomfortable to go there

I loved the people I met at World House - guests and staff. Wonderful people. I have to give a shout out to Rabia. She rocks! =) The location was also perfect for me. Overall, I loved my stay there. It made my stay in Istanbul one of the most memorable trips. - Kat (USA)
