Convenient and affordable!

Super convenient location and nice hotel. Despite being in the heart of Besitkas, this is on a quiet street where most restaurants are closed by dinner time so I had no trouble sleeping. Easy to walk to everything including the ferry. Great price too! My only complaints are that they wouldn't give an extra pillow and the motion sensor lights in the hall turn off too quickly. Overall great place though!

This location is near ferries to all locations of Istanbul, Asian and European. Bustling scene right here; some cafes look like Paris. Good value. Baby next door didn't like it at all however. Walls a little thin.

Minor problems but intend to come back!

Place was HARD to find. Would have helped a lot to know "look for the huge Harvey Burger sign, we're next door" because the Puffin sign was a postage stamp. There was a bad sewage odor that came and went randomly. Otherwise, the room was quite nice for the price and the location was excellent. Intend to stay here again on next trip!

The location is really good as there are cafes, bars and restaurants all around. The hostel is clean and the beds comfy, with partition curtains that create some privacy. The only thing I would point out is that the bathroom is unisex, which may or may not be an issue for someone. This is more of an issue with the showers, as there’s is no lock on the shower door, and anyone could basically open the door and walk in. I didn’t feel comfortable showering personally but this might not be an issue for someone else. The rooms don’t have locks, but there are big, spacious lockers that help with keeping the stuff safe. Decent hostel, would definitely recommend.

Best Budget Option

second time, I stayed in Puffin, and happy to see that it got better. I stayed in a double room, clean and nice, good heating and enough light. Besiktas area is my favourite with lots of cafes, restaurants, bars etc, but no noise inside at all. ıf you are looking for a budget stay in a central location, highly recommended.
