Yine Gelecek Ben

Şimdiye kadar kaldığım en iyi hostel diyebilirim. Odalarda ses ve gürültü yok. Her yatağın başında gece lambası ve priz olması çok iyi düşünülmüş bir detay. Temiz, düzenli ve eski İstanbul'un tam merkezinde bir konumu var. Kahvaltı dahil fiyatı çok uygun. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

Hostel befindet sich in sehr gute Lage, in Altstadt von Istanbul. Sehr viele Ziele zum Fuß erreichbar, Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ausstattung von Zimmer ist sehr schlecht, die Materatze war BRAUN!
Joanna, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a basic accommodation for someone only needing a place to sleep and shower, and spend most of the time in the city. It is relatively close to the tourist sites of the area, but the street to get there do not seem that well traveled. Although this is Sultanahmet, it isn't the very busy side of the neighborhood.

Best place for me to stay in Istanbul and i will stay again. Murat the staff was very helpful. short walk to Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque and topkapi palace and sultanahmet square. well recommended.
Maribel C, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The manager and staff were extremely helpful with walking to the places we wanted to go. Also very helpful with arranging a ride back to the airport. This place was very simple, yet it is a hostel. And the room was very clean. There were construction materials sitting around near the entrance which could be picked up,the staff was so excellent though, I didn't mind. It was very comfortable and homey. The breakfast room was the same, comfortable and homey. They have a place to keep luggage since checkout time was before my flight. That's good.
rupasi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room which was provided was a budget room, facilities were ok. There was no water heater, which was a basic requirement in a hotel room. Breakfast was ok as it was provided in limited quantities. Parking is a big issue. If you go for paid parking, they charge on an hourly basis. You will feel that you are staying in a budget hotel. If we ask for a service, the reception will say you are in a budget hotel. Overall of to stay if you are staying for 01 or 02 days.
