Great location- only 5 min walk from airport shuttle drop off and main attractions, close to cafes and supermarket. Walls were thin so quite noisy and very thin blinds so very bright from 6am. Staff were helpful.

Great hostel with a very welcoming vibe. I booked a private room which was just next door to the main hostel building. The walls were a little thin, so you could hear some noise from the neighbouring room, but it wasn't that bad. I would absolutely stay here again if I came back to Istanbul.

This is my second time in Istanbul and this is the best place I’ve stayed. It’s a private entrance with and indiviudal key, and the location is the best for all kinds of attractions. The room was clean, spacious. The bathroom is well designed and maintained well. Breakfast, dinner and activities are quiet reasonable comparing to most of the restaurants and agencies. Oh, the rooftop terrace is amazing to socialize or just to chill, grab drinks. Thanks to staff for being always kind and helpful!
