This hostel has everything you need, the rooms and facilities are kept clean, and the rooms/beds are decent. The private rooms are a little small, and the walls are a little thin but this is typical of this type of accommodation. It’s a great spot for a great value! I especially liked the rooftop bar, it had such a nice view especially during sunset and was very open and spacious. The hostel also has events like comedy shows which is a great way to meet other travellers. It’s in a very good location as well.

Our family of 4 people stayed in Wabi Sabi hostel in October 2022 and we definitely recommend it to those who are fine with small rooms. It's the only inconvinience you may find. As far as we don't care about the room size we enjoyed our stay there for 100%. All the people working in Wabi Sabi were superhelpful and friendly. Special thanks to Seyf and Gamze! Perfect location, tasty breakfast with the view on Istanbul. We stayed there with kids, otherwise we would also enjoy evening parties on the roof.

We were travelling with our toddler daughter and were skeptical about choosing a hostel. We booked a private room with shower and bathroom and were amazed and so was our kid as we had a superb and comfortable stay. Everyone at hostel was welcoming for us inspite of us being with kid, special mention for Seif and Eje from front desk and Osman from rooftop restaurant. Hostel has maintained good standards of cleanliness and which can be seen in every nook and corner including rooms. It is in a peaceful neighbourhood so sleep quality was pretty good. Location is good with10 mins walk to Taksim Square and big plus is you get to meet fellow travellers who share their experiences. Roof top restaurant served breakfast and coverted to pub in eve. Breakfast spread was limited and can add more options but that on offer was good. Shared kitchen space was missing but on special request they let us use the kitchen for baby food which was a good gesture. There is a cafe "Cantin" just opposite hostel which has good menu n service. Taksim metro is nearby from where you can get Istanbul Kart and then you are good to go anywhere. PS: there is bylane with 250 meters walk inside from main lane which is open to scammers. We met one during out trip so pls be careful when returning late night after 9 pm. Just be catious like a tourist should be , rest all was good. Hostel management can keep a security guard for safety of its inmates in future.…

The staff at this hostel are really friendly and helped me so much during my stay here. There was an amazingly kind lady from Iran who made me feel so welcome. The rest of the staff were top class too including Hasan, Alim, Reza and Ramin. Fully recommend this hostel! Excellent customer service.

I stayed there twice, once it was private room, another time shared dorm 4 persons! It's super clean and nice located, as well as cozy, good breakfast, lovely terrace and friendly stuff. The bathrooms are clean and modern as well and very nice decorated I felt very good there. Later I met some other travelers with whom I planned evening and at the beginning we were drinking on their terrace. The price was not the cheapest but comparing what you get - absolutely normal. So, I recommend!
