    Double - En-Suite
    Stayed 1 night in October 2025

    “okay”

    pros: close to many restaurants, stores and train Kumkapi (a few minutes of ride to Blue Mosque, Hagiya Sofia, Basilica Cistern or about 20 minutes if you go there on foot). I chose a double en suite room and it includes towels, shampoos, liquid soaps, disposable slippers (toothpaste and toothbrush not included) and a private bathroom. aircondition, TV, WIFI and hot shower function properly. the breakfast (8am to 10:30am) is included (a boiled egg, slices of bread, butter, jams, coffee, tea (buy your own water if you want water). the reception is open 24 hours so you can check in late (check out at 11am). staff can speak and understand english. no insects nor cockroaches (the room is clean). the staff is approachable and nice. cons: far from the SAW Airport (have to ride 3 trains which take the entire ride 80-100 minutes). the toilet seat cover is broken (fortunately I brought an adhesive tape to keep the cover up). airport transfer is only from Hotel to Airport (not from Airport to Hotel) and the last price depends on the driver. The hotel said it was 2000 lira but then the driver told the staff to add additional 350 lira when I hopped on the car and because of heavy traffic it took us 2 hours to arrive to the airport instead of 40 minutes. (better take the trains to avoid traffic and the fare was just less than 300 lira). I took a taxi using Uber and the driver used the meter but charged me additional liras (Airport to Hotel for a 35-minute ride with no traffic, charging me 2,850 lira, though the meter showed only less than 2000 lira). Many taxi scammers. Just take the public transpo!

    “Hotel from the traveler's perspective”

    This is a reasonably priced hostel in Istanbul. Most people will evaluate this place based on its price. Depending on the accommodation type, the rooms have four beds. The hostel is genuinely clean; bedsheets are changed regularly, and it offers good hygiene standards. As for breakfast, unfortunately, it may not meet your expectations. Honestly, I was also surprised by the breakfast provided. In terms of location, it is quite advantageous. When you step outside, you can easily access many places, and there are plenty of restaurants around the hostel. If you are a traveler looking for an affordable place close to tourist attractions, this hostel can be a good option. I hope they improve themselves in some areas.

    “Recommended for Solo Travelers ”

    The staff were great and provided valuable advice. The room was very clean with new beds and clean sheets. The cleanliness was excellent in all areas. The breakfast with tea and coffee and plenty of bread was amazing. The kitchen was large and well equipped. There was a laundry and a place to hang clothes. Balcony and outdoor space for fresh air and tables in the lobby and by the door for leisure and working with a laptop. It was a great value and well priced and above expectations. Just be aware of the stairs for those who are concerned. Five minutes walk to the beach and walking path for exercise and running with stunning views.

    “Amazing trip I'll be back for sure ”

    The hostel all in all is excellent, but nobody is perfect, I'm here to focus on cons because the pros are many, Around 100 bed with only 2 cooking 🍳 oven electric eyes in kitchen, the 2 microwaves are not working, all hair dryer in hostel are broken, I'm sure because its manufacturer, the hostel can change only one and see its working function, only 5$, but it helps all guests so much, Toilet paper are always available, Hot water for shower perfect, Breakfast poor, maybe I'm gourmand :), The best ever clean hostel I've ever visited, Air conditioning is super in all rooms, Management are so polite, Only if they allow for early check in 1 pm instead of 2 pm ,

    “Excellent”

    Excellent location. A nice local area, not touristy. Cheap and nice places to eat. Yohann and Sami and the guy at reception in the morning are very friendly and helpful staff. Room a little small, but bed comfortable and hot shower. Kitchen upstairs is fine. I would like if they could have nice sofas downstairs to sit and relax and create a social area where people can meet. It's only big high hard chairs and tables. Breakfast very very good and the whole experience was good. Great price for everything, I can recommend this hostel to stay.
