PLEASE READ>IMPORTANT INFO DOWN BELOW<

Lola Backpackers Hostel is a brand new hostel started by a local backpacker who is devoted to creating a backpacker-friendly environment. Our priority is to provide backpackers and travelers on a budget with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. If your purpose is not traveling or you are looking for something fancy, please look elsewhere. Guests here are not just a number and you might feel like you're staying in a shared flat while still having your privacy. The vision for this hostel is to become a melting pot of different cultures and a second home for travelers alike to share old stories and create new experiences!

Located in a quiet street in the bustling Galata area, you can experience Istanbul through its winding alleyways filled with little stores, cafes, and plenty of amazing eateries just a short walk away. The surrounding streets are filled with workshops, but we're just a few steps away from the main streets that follow along the seaside, while also being just a five-minute walk from Galata tower and nearby metro and ferry stations. We will be happy to help you find your way through Istanbul and share its charms and beauty. Don't be afraid to ask for help! :)

Place is okey, but I won’t recommend it. Entrance is kinda sketchy, dirty bathrooms, very tiny kitchen for the whole building. Stand out for the staff, Vici the volunteer from Ukraine was amazing, I injured my leg that eve (I had the top bed) and he changed for the bottom bed, he carried my backpack and made some breakfast! He’s absolutely amazing and friendly!

Nice and clean hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is near a station and some cool neighbourhoods. Hostel can be quite hard to find so some sign posting on the main road would be useful! Is also directly opposite a night club. My only problem was one night with the hostel staff up all night, drunk, being so loud until 7 in the morning - if it was other travellers making noise then whatever it’s usual, but it was staff and that was so unprofessional and inconsiderate in my opinion.
