Dirty, not maintained, poor condition and service.

Dirty, bad service, hot, no AC. It’s a hostel so no amenities, no cleaning items, nothing. The terrace shown in the picture is not available for that use. There are few tables, not cleaned, no light available, not clean….

Gets the job done, but nothing special.

It's a very basic hostel, it's not much but you get what you paid for. Pros: Nearby to sights. Easy to get to airport via bus. Great views from roof. Friendly staff. Cons: Bathrooms are not clean and smell horrible. Rooms are cramped and stuffy.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmed

I stayed 4 nights with my wife, is an excellently located hostel with free good wifi, turkish breakfast, near restaurants, shops and, most important, the 2 principal attractions: Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque It’s a warm place, clean and with awesome staff, every one of them is happy to help The only problem is that is noisy (or maybe the other guests were) and does not has an elevator If I return to Turkey, I’d definitely stay there again

The staff was really friendly and helpful. Karim even booked our bus trip on his credit card--he definitely went above and beyond. Our downstairs courtyard looked out into the fire escape and the outside space was shared with the next door restaurant, which made our room smell like grease.

Very accomodating

The staffs are so very accommodating and friendly. They will advise you about your safety travelling around the city, which I found so thoughtful. There's a 10% discount on food and drinks that you order in the restaurant underneath the hostel, which is great, oh plus the 20% off on drinks on happy hour!!!. The service of the waiter 'Mehmet' is so high standard, he will attend to your needs and so very polite. He's so hardworking I must say, so bravo to you my bro Mehmet!

Perfect for a short stay in the heart of Istanbul

Small room but very comfortable beds & pillows; quiet. Shared bathroom was right across the hall & we never had to wait for it. There is a terrace on the roof with wonderful views (the mosques, the Bosporus...) & tables to sit at. The included breakfast was in the restaurant next door & was the best breakfast we had on our 10-day trip which included Italy. The room has lockers so you can safely lock up your valuables but we didn't feel the need to do so. You are less than 5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and less than 10 minutes walk to Ayasofia & the Cistern. It was challenging to find from the Metro/tram we took from the airport to Sultanamhet stop, but very convenient. Great stores & restaurants all around the hostel. Next door's restaurant gives you a 10% discount on dinner. The hostel staff was very helpful, spoke English for us, & gave us a good map & directions; they let us store our luggage with them after checkout while we toured before heading back to the airport. Our family of 4 only had 24 hours & this was the way to get a good sleep, big breakfast, & see the highlights!
