Simply put, the location by the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque could not be better, and the view of the Bosporus from the roof terrace was one of the highlights of my trip. Wi-fi worked throughout the facility, and it was great to be able to show off the surrounding scenery to friends and family over Skype. Nothing particularly special... More

We visited with co-owners, Onur and Ozden, on our last night in Istanbul. We dined on the roof top with a view of the Bosphorus River and of course the Blue Mosque and Hagai Sophia. We spoke with some of the residence and they loved the hostel experience. Our time with our friends was the best! However, the food was... More

The hostel is at the best location and the street is amazing. The staff is very friendly and hostel is pretty neat and clean. The only negative about this one is the late night parties, noise might disturb a few. We are a bunch of friends and truly enjoyed the music with hukka and beer!

The hostel is clean, staffs are alk helpful and friendly, breakfast is modest but enough, rooftop view is perfect, location wise is perfect, groceries shops are all around, price is good and they offered great packages too for day trip around Istanbul. The only thing you have to bear is the noise at night. I think it came from the... More

We were in Istanbul for two days at the beginning of our trip in Turkey and stayed at the Orient Hostel. The room wasn't the fanciest I've seen but it was comfortable enough and very clean. The staff was amazing, very helpful and welcoming, specially at the bar downstairs. We got to hang out with other backpackers and had a... More

I have stayed at many many hostels around Europe and this one is by far my favourite. I didn't come here looking for a good night sleep. I came to meet people and have fun. And I have accomplished that very well. The 30 bed dorm is by far the largest I have ever stayed in, but it's not at... More

This hostel was really handy for my stay in Istanbul. I'm currently a solo traveller and only had a couple of nights in the city. It was really handy to all the big attractions like Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which are both must see's. They have a bar there which was great for hanging out in and meeting new... More

The hostel is located just beside Hagia Sophia, two steps from all the main amenities in Sultanahmet. The tram stop is 5 mins walking. We stayed six nights in a triple room ensuite. The room was fairly big and the bathroom huge (including a shower almost double than normal size). It was a bit warm inside the room but have... More
