About

At The Central House Taksim, we aim to provide visitors with a laid-back, fun-loving atmosphere where travelers from all over the world can meet, often creating life-long memories, experiences, and friendships. We are surrounded by several great local attractions, all within walking distance. The area also offers a great selection of restaurants within walking distance and is just minutes from the heart of shopping, nightlife on Istiklal Street, and entertainment areas in Taksim. Stay with us and enjoy our quiet, secure, and homely atmosphere.

We are in a convenient and central location for Downtown Istanbul's Taksim area – just 5 minutes from the famous Taksim Square and 10 minutes from Istanbul’s niche Nişantaşı. We are centrally located in the middle of the city, close to everything you need to experience local life in Istanbul without the hassle of traffic. Buses and the local metro rail system are within walking distance.

We have dorm style rooms as well as private, shared bathroom, or private en suite rooms.

Due to temporary construction work on our terrace, we are currently unable to serve breakfast in the usual area.
Instead, we offer a complimentary take-away corner on the reception floor, available every morning between 08:00 and 10:00.
You can enjoy a selection of sandwiches, fruit, pastries, and a tea & coffee station during these hours.

The hostel is clean, in a good location close to Taksim square and havaist bus stop. Only issue is that the bar was closed during my second stay. The staff is helpful especially Talha, he's the best!!

Great hostel, very friendly and helpful staff. Very modern rooms and bathrooms. Incredibly clean and everything smells fresh. Continuous communal vibes in the lobby. Just one important design flaw in my opinion; the top beds in shared hostels are too high up and there’s no handles on the right nor left to hold while climbing or descending. It is kind of dangerous in my opinion, and I did indeed have a misstep while descending and broke my right toenail. Quite painful tbh. This needs to be fixed
