We arrived to the hostel from an 11 hour flight, from the moment we walked in the staff were so friendly and helpful. They told us 'go get you shower and we will have a drink waiting for you when you get back up' when we arrived back to the reception there was three local beers waiting for us. Dan... More

I stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. The main reason for my stay was to meet up with friends and do some sight-seeing in Istanbul. We stayed in a 9-person dorm room. The room was simple; the safes inside were very handy, just be sure to bring your own padlock. Overall, it was great value for money. The location... More

Fantastic location to all the sights in Istanbul and lots of places to eat and drink just a street over. Great roof top for afternoon drinks and watching sunsets. Really good value for money. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

A functional and adequate breakfast with polite staff I have to admit I liked staying here even though the basement downstairs was quite cold and dark. The staff are helpful althought there's no common lounge area, the large dorm. area downstairs is able to provide a decent enough place for people to meet. No visa cards accepted though - which...

You can't do better for a location in Istanbul. Literally in shouting distance of both of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque...nice terrace bar and an adequate but simple breakfast. Pretty good price too...staff was very nice.

I had a wonderful experience at this hostel, extending my stay originally from 3 days up to 10 days. I met some really great people and we all spent a lot of time together at this hostel. Paco is the main host there and he is also super cool and friendly. The balcony is a great place to just hang... More

The hostel was fine- bathrooms, rooms- all fine. The downstairs dorm could be a little noisy, but its all just luck of the guest draw. My only negative was the lack of social atmosphere, there was no real social area to the hostel. Otherwise great! I was especially pleased with the ajoining Tour Agency, which gave great recommendations

Stayed here with my family in April 2012. We were looking for a place in a central location and low price. The place was reasonably clean, close to all the places we wanted to visit and in a safe neighborhood. The guys who run the desk are friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the typical Turkish breakfast on the... More

We stayed in this hostel for two nights - first night in a 9 bed dorm where it was only the two of us. The beds are fine, clean, and comfortable. The shared bathrooms however are dirty. The toilets especially. The toilet itself is so close to the door that your knees touch it. Bins in the toilets are only... More
