Very nice location. Close to galata tower and taksim square. Subway within 5min reach and ferry within 15min reach. Safe old town area where you can walk around and discover restauarants, stores, street life etc. Room was big and clean, both staff and visitors are chilled and friendly. There was a drunk weird guest and staff let him out after someone reported him.

All hostels 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.
