Manu Start Up House is the best hostel I stayed in Istanbul. The hostel is conveniently located a few minutes away from the train station. The hostel is on the Asian side of Istanbul, which is not so common to see. The space is meant for more of a digital nomad / remote, worker type of traveler instead of a partier. There's a multiple desks, offices, and monitors provided for you to get work done. The accommodation is also clean and the kitchen is spacious. I also liked how there is a cinema room, gym, and

Very chill hostel, and the private offices are a great plus if you work remotely. It wasn’t crowded when I stayed, so it was nice and quiet. The downside is the location—it’s quite far from the main attractions, which made going back after a day exploring pretty annoying. The volunteer girls were great. The owner took the AC remote because we left it on too long, which I found unnecessary. If you work remotely and don’t care about location, it’s a good option.
