The location was great, very central, and easy to find. I liked the breakfast and coffee, and the staff were all really pleasant and extremely helpful. We even got "sent with water" on the way back to the airport...I don't know what the gentleman with the Australian accent is called but he was really friendly, helpful and overall a great guy! All the staff were amazing.

My experience at this Istanbul hostel was outstanding, largely due to the welcoming staff, especially Hervé, who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The hostel's location right on Istiklal Avenue was incredibly convenient, allowing for easy exploration of the city. The icing on the cake was the flawless Wi-Fi, ensuring a seamless stay. I can't recommend it enough for a warm and comfortable stay in Istanbul.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
