Summary of traveller reviews

Sultan Hostel in Istanbul boasts an amazing location, putting you right by major sights. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and many find the beds comfortable. Breakfast is generally well-received, though some note it's basic. A lack of common areas and a kitchen are recurring downsides, and some recent reviews mention issues with cleanliness in bathrooms and occasional noise.

Generally the hostel is good. Just the wifi not working. And there is one girl which was rude somehow in treating with some travelers and even dont show no smile. So rude. Take attention from her. Or tell the reception. Have good trip

I had booked a smaller private room with a bathroom. The first night there was so much rain that the window started leaking. The staff were very fast to react and tried to find a solution. They moved me to a bigger room without any additional charges. I stayed there for the remainder of my visit to Istanbul. I had also a very pleasant conversation with the owner. He is a very kind man who will try and help you out with whatever problem you have. He goes above and beyond the needs of his guests.

This is a well located guest house. Beds are really comfy and the place is clean. Some of the staff are helpful- guys on reception. Others not so much. The downside is it is as a hostel I expected a kitchen and the lack of one was a disadvantage The breakfast is meagre and doesn’t cater for vegans
