Istanbul Hostels hotel | Places to Stay in Istanbul

June 9, 2023 Renato Branum

A social and geographic confluence where East and West, North and South, religious and secular, ancient and modern all converge in kaleidoscopic display, Istanbul is as vibrant an urban destination as you’ll ever visit on earth. Whatever strikes your fancy, chances are it’s done with vigor in this mega city that’s too expansive – and cultured – to settle upon only one continent to call its home.

This is my first time in Istanbul and it couldn't have started better. The location is perfectly situated to take in the cultural sights of Istanbul, such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. But also shopping possibilities like the Grand Bazaar or the Spice Market were within walking distance. If you had any questions, the staff was always there for you. Murat, Sinan, Amir and Jay are absolutely nice people who you can quickly take to your heart and who put a smile on your face every day. Every evening there is another event organized by the hostel, where the guests get together and have fun. You get to know people so quickly here and simply spend very nice evenings together with exciting conversations and interesting personalities. But at the same time, you can also retreat here and enjoy the time with yourself. In addition, the breakfast was also very tasty with a very awesome view and the rooms were very clean.

An awesome location in the heart of Istanbul

Reviewed By Hasan-8_666

Such an amazing, wonderful and fascinating location in the heart of Istanbul. All the most hot attractions are just a few steps walk . Sea on the east, Topkapi palace in north, hagia sofia and blue mosque in north and the markets and restaurants just behind the location makes the property an amazing place to stay, chill and enjoy. Secondly the staff is very very friendly and cooperative. My a week there was like I’m staying in my home .

The ideal starting point for sightseeing, shopping and nightlife! Hostel nearest to Havatas Airport Shuttle Bus! Subway, ferry, train, taxi station, trams and buses all are close by and easy to use. We are happy to give you directions wherever you want to go. Most of the city’s main attractions such as Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazar, Bosphorus, Dolmabahce Palace, Galata Tower and the famous Istiklal Avenue are in walking distance or short trip with public transport. Istanbul Conference Centre is just 5 minutes away from the hostel. Groups and Walk-ins are welcomed!

Reviewed By minasaltay

I wanted to stay at a hostel so I booked this. It’s close to Taksim Metro station within 5-10 min. walk. - which is important for me. And also 10-15 minutes to Taksim Square. The hostel it self is not huge. It doesn’t also have elevator, so you have to carry on your own luggage. The receptionist Gönül is very kind and helpful, and tried to help me to connect my HES code to Taksim card. But I was messing with us, so Tugba (I think she’s a cleaning lady) she was sooo sweet and borrowed me her own Taksim Card. (But I forgot to give it back??‍♀️). You can ask anything and they will help you. They are smiling and kind and it made me feel welcome and safe. Side note: So guys make sure to get your HES code before travel, cus travel around in Istanbul with Istanbul Card is much CHEAPER than one way ticket. And also to “check in” when shopping in the malls. (I seriously don’t know why it doesn’t makes sense, cus no other places as restaurants or any place don’t demand you to show the HES code) Back to hostel: I stayed at lady rooms. It was small. And also warm, you can’t regulate the warm but have to tell the reception so they can regulate it. So don’t be shy… they are willing to help. We had the shower inside our room, and toilet outside the room but next to us. It’s all small so don’t except big. I ate out all the time so I didn’t used the kitchen. The reason I specifically chose this was because it had curtains so I could have space for my self. I would definitely come back again. ??

Worst hostel ever

Reviewed By Amel3188

I Booked this hostel after reading the comments over here and on Google , but was a terrible choice . The girls dormitory was very very Small For 6 girls , you cannot stand as two people over the room at the same time . The bed are very old and very Complicated to reach to the top bed . Bathroom also was horrible , a window broken just on the shower and giving on the street . I paid for a week but I left after 1 night , also two others girls has left at the same time because they were shocked just like me . The guy working in reception who's name is raheem don't has a good sense of communication , he interrupt you when talking and when checking out he told me this is a shared hostel what do you expect !! Well this is the worst hostel I've never been to .. and please put your mask on next time .
