The bathroom never was cleaned. Our bedroom wasn’t ready. We had to move to other bedroom. Nobody was there when we arrived. The stairs are very poorly built, if you go with the elderly it will be very difficult for them to climb. If you go with heavy suitcases you will suffer a lot there. There is no elevator.

Dirty, not maintained, poor condition and service.

Dirty, bad service, hot, no AC. It’s a hostel so no amenities, no cleaning items, nothing. The terrace shown in the picture is not available for that use. There are few tables, not cleaned, no light available, not clean….

Gets the job done, but nothing special.

It's a very basic hostel, it's not much but you get what you paid for. Pros: Nearby to sights. Easy to get to airport via bus. Great views from roof. Friendly staff. Cons: Bathrooms are not clean and smell horrible. Rooms are cramped and stuffy.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmed

I stayed 4 nights with my wife, is an excellently located hostel with free good wifi, turkish breakfast, near restaurants, shops and, most important, the 2 principal attractions: Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque It’s a warm place, clean and with awesome staff, every one of them is happy to help The only problem is that is noisy (or maybe the other guests were) and does not has an elevator If I return to Turkey, I’d definitely stay there again

The staff was really friendly and helpful. Karim even booked our bus trip on his credit card--he definitely went above and beyond. Our downstairs courtyard looked out into the fire escape and the outside space was shared with the next door restaurant, which made our room smell like grease.

Very accomodating

The staffs are so very accommodating and friendly. They will advise you about your safety travelling around the city, which I found so thoughtful. There's a 10% discount on food and drinks that you order in the restaurant underneath the hostel, which is great, oh plus the 20% off on drinks on happy hour!!!. The service of the waiter 'Mehmet' is so high standard, he will attend to your needs and so very polite. He's so hardworking I must say, so bravo to you my bro Mehmet!

Nice stay,nice view, value for money

Very near to tourist attraction. Very nice and helpful staff. Room and breakfast are good, only the size of the room (we stay in triple bed room) is quite small. However, overall is excellent.
