The mattress is very comfortable, and the terrace views are stunning. The place is extremely beautiful, the breakfast is good, and the free luggage storage is a great convenience. The only downside is that there are no power sockets available for the upper bunk bed."

It seems to have been recently renovated, and overall it's quite clean. The front desk staff was very welcoming and enthusiastic; they must have hosted many Chinese tourists, as they even offered New Year greetings. The location is quite convenient for getting to the beach and a few well-known mosques. The room didn't have a locker or a door lock, but thankfully I didn't have any valuables. Also, since it's a hostel, there are no disposable slippers, bath towels, or toiletries, so remember to bring your own when checking in. Even though it's a hostel, they do offer breakfast!

I stayed for three days in a mixed 6-bed dorm here. The hostel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the Old City's tourist area. It's a very short walk to the Bosphorus, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. I enjoy walking, so I could even walk to the Grand Bazaar and Fatih Mosque. Right outside the hostel are restaurants and bars frequented by tourists. They're a bit pricey, but the food and drinks are great, and the service is incredibly enthusiastic. Solo female travelers should be cautious about the waiters' over-eagerness. The hostel's breakfast is fantastic; starting each day with it before heading out to explore was the perfect plan.

I was incredibly happy with the room cleanliness and amenities. Staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel is located in a very convenient spot if youre going to see the sights. I requested that I was left to work which was acknowledged but sheet/towel changes were available if needed. You cannot fault it for the price. I'll definitely stay here again. Please remember that this is a functional hostel that is connected to a bar and so a little noise is to be expected but i never found it to be persistent or too late.

I stayed here for two nights and had a fantastic experience. The owner was incredibly welcoming; I actually laughed out loud when I saw him wearing a Chinese Li-Ning hoodie on the first day! I also met a lot of interesting people and had great conversations with them. The breakfast here is delicious, especially the bread – I loved it.

Great value for money, but all the restaurants nearby are tourist traps. If you head towards the plaza, you can catch the rail transit which connects to the subway. You'll need to get one of those red transit cards, and then travel anywhere is really cheap. There's a booth at the airport where you can get one.
