About

PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT INFO DOWN BELOW

Lola Backpackers Hostel is the second step of a local backpacker’s project, moving from our small startup to a bigger space to build the ideal hostel. Check out our journey at lolabackpackers

Before we give it a new life, our location previously operated as a hotel. As we experienced firsthand with our first startup project, we prefer building a true hostel spirit alongside our guests over time, rather than designing a cold and isolated space on paper. While our team has already brought our signature vibe with us, fully reaching our vision will take a little time. We truly appreciate your understanding for any shortcomings during this transition.


Our priority is to support backpacking culture by providing a warm, comfortable, and social environment for budget travelers, while helping you easily navigate the city.

We will be happy to guide you through Istanbul and help you discover our beautiful city and the country in the best way possible!


**Important information

**Lola backpackers reserves the right to cancel reservations upon arrival if deemed unsuitable
**For those who book the tent area: This is for budget travelers only, and guests must have their own tents to prove it. If the garden is unavailable due to technical reasons, reservations will be upgraded to dorm rooms at no extra cost.

Love this place, the staff are super friendly and the vibes are great The hostel is a work in progress but don’t let the lack of reviews sway you away. They’ve just moved locations and I was fortunate enough to see both and love it here

The whole hostel staff was super kind and fun to hang out with and the space itself was perfectly located if you want to enjoy the Nightlife and restaurants on the European side. Lastly my favourite staff member was AI.
