Great room and bathroom and helpful staff. But definitely to be in Sultahnmet is better than Taksim Square to see the atractions.

Fantastic staff, very warm, helpful and friendly. Excellent location. Nice and cosy and clean. The rooms were very warm and the showers are really nice. New finishes. I am not used to staying in hostels, though after this experience I would be less apprehensive. Keep it up! Thank you.

Great location and great staff. Overall a fantastic hostel, but we noticed that some things probably hadn't been fixed or updated since its inauguration in 2011. Most of the lightbulbs didn't work in our room, the jacuzzi on the roof wasn't in full operation, etc. We also found the breakfast pretty lacking... bread was quite stale! Still a good choice and very good value.

Enjoyed my stay, and the staff were helpful. The comforters on the bed are amazing! Small rooms, but they have large lounge areas if you need a place to hang out.

#Bunk quickly became my home away from home in Istanbul. The staff are all incredible helpful and professional (especially that Polish girl! :). They gave great recommendations for sights, activities, and nightlfie. The rooms were clean and had outlets to charge your electronics. The location is perfect- close to the nightlife but not so close that it's noisy. A great place to stay if you're traveling alone- the common area encourages conversation. Can't wait for the new location, I'll be back!

The stay in #bunk hostel was very wonderful and staff was extremely kind as well. There is nothing I can make a complaint. Maybe rooms could be bigger. However, in comparison with price it was good. In summary I recommend staying in #bunk hostel especially for location and excellent bunkteam.

Gorgeous, very well thought off design with helpful staff (some more knowledgeable than others which would be good to be more consistently knowledgeable). Had a very pleasant stay.

I stayed at this hostel 10 days in december. Newly renovated in a safe area. They've thought of everything for the modern traveler, rock solid bunk beds and good matreses, large locker under the bed, there's even an outlet at each bed to charge your gadgets. Very clean. I found it difficult to figure out who was staff, they didn't seem too enthusiastic, mostly Erasmus students. Would have preferred locals or travellers who know the secrets of the city and are more aware of the travellers needs.

Everything was perfectly acceptable for the price, but the rooms were simply too small. There's no way to not see it as a problem when you're staying for more than one night.

At first I was a little disappointed it was away from the old town, but it turned out to be a great area to stay in. Easy to get to the old town still, but such a lively area at night: cafes, bars, shops all open late, and full of people till ridiculous hours. The hostel itself was lovely and modern, and very clean. Only complaint was the lack of space, and the heating was sometimes a little high, but otherwise great. Staff all friendly. Relaxed, easy place to stay.

This was my second time at #bunk and I loved it just as much as the first time. Seriously, for Istanbul (slim pickings with hostels) it doesn't get any better. It's boutique hotel-meets-hostel, so you feel very comfortable. Towels, breakfast, lockers under the fantastic beds, amazing showers and bathrooms! Only downside is the noise from the bars in the area, and the small rooms, but honesty the pros far outweigh these small cons. Stay here!
