Reviews of Manu Startup House

Checked in late - very smooth and clear. Comfortable bed with good bedding. If you’re a light sleeper, some noise of cars can be heard outside but it didn’t affect me.

Pros: - very responsive staff who speaks English well and explains all the rules clearly - quite good location, although Google Maps misled me at first (don’t trust the map — use exit 5!) - there’s a convenience store on the ground floor for snacks and stuff Cons: - VERY COLD. You’re given a thin blanket, which is not a substitute for a proper duvet in winter - no towels — this is true - no shampoo — also true, and no hair dryer either Overall, this place might work for a very short stop between flights without an overnight stay, since it’s easy to get to from Sabiha Gökçen Airport. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying overnight, as you can easily get sick from the cold.

Close to the metro and cafes. The hostel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. They don't check you in before 2 PM, even if there are available rooms.

They were friendly and the place was clean

Perfect if you need a place to stay for one night. Not very clean, but the location is good, and the staff is very friendly.

Pretty good, strategic location and cleanliness and good service.

That's a really cozy hostel! I've enjoyed my stay

This hostel is a hidden gem! I booked it for a short overnight stay because it's conveniently located on the direct M4 metro line to Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) Airport. I arrived around midnight and was warmly welcomed by Mert, who was both friendly and professional. We had a great conversation about education and travel. The place was incredibly clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. I wish I could have stayed longer—perhaps next time I’m back in Istanbul! The only downside is that the bathrooms and showers are not en-suite. Both male and female guests share the same shower area, while the toilets are separated but located in the same large room. A perfect stay: short and sweet.

Good and cozy place)) Everything was very friendly.

Very nice and clean for solo travellers looking for a shared room

Clean and cozy place at a reasonable price with friendly staff willing to help! Renovated recently. Conveniently payed with Euros and US dollars too. Room, toilet and shower are pretty modern and bed is comfortable. The kitchen has stove, microwave, hot & cold drinking water, etc. The surroundings are quiet. Willing to come back to the accommodation.

It’s clean Enough space for hanging out with others here Good experience

The hostel was easy to get to from the airport (i used subway). It is located around 3km from the pier and it turned out to be a little far for me. Rooms are quite spacious, has pmenty of coworking space and stable wi-fi. Kitchen could be cleaner. All in all it was a good value for money.

Good for on budget travelers
