Hostels in Istanbul

Great hostel. Near the most visited places. Good beds and bathrooms. Very good breakfast.

After almost a year I just remember the magnificent view of the rooftop of this hostel and figure out that I haven't written a review for this amazing hostel. They serve free breakfast full of love in the rooftop where you can see the sun, food and the sea. Thank you!!

Okay, this is a hostel, keep that in mind. We were able to park our rental car in front of the hostel. The breakfast was amazing! The staff was pleasant, professional, and accommodating. Now, the best part about this hostel is that it is, literally, walking distance from the major attractions. When you leave the hostel, on your right down the street to your left is a little store, go there for...

It was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed, and I was staying in a 6 shared dom!! The location is perfect to go around Istanbul and get to the touristic places walking. At the same time, it's in a quiet area, so you don't get disturbed by the noise. The installations are clean and the price is fair. People at the front desk is super helpful and ca offer good recommendations! And the breakfast...

Antique Hostel is a charming place with a cozy atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and decorated with lovely antique furniture. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. Plus, the homemade breakfast is delicious. It's a great place to stay if you want a relaxing and welcoming experience.

Great location with fairly price. Great customer service, very kind and helpful. Terrace is amazing, can't wait to come back in spring or summer!

Grateful for the great experience. Welcoming, helpful and friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. Ideal for backpackers and a warm ambiance makes it a pleasant stay. Thank you!

The room is very clean and its so cheap So close to blue mosque,tram station of sultanahmet and hagia sophia like 4 to 5 minutes walk The staff is nice Its really nice for having stay here

Awesome hostel. Staff are more then helpful and fun. Excellent bar and food including the free breakfast. Great location and all round good times!

Great if you're looking for a hostel, this is my second stay there. Knowledgeable staff, lots of tour options, restaurant attached. But mostly, it is right in the center of the tourist district, the Ayasophia and Blue Mosque are a 5 minute walk.

Excellent location! Room was simple but clean and neat. Breakfast acceptable. The only downside is that it does not have a lift. Very good care of their staff. Recommended!

Amazing place to stay in Istanbul ! Room cleaned, staff nice, and location its really good ! But for rooms down stairs have only 2 toilets and 2 showers.

Had a great comfy and cheap stay here. Nice staff. Amazing value for price. Would come again. Thanks!!

Farily simple and small hostel, cheap prices, small rooms, laundry service, for the lockers you might need to bring your own lock. Not crowded though, and great location, easily accessible and close to everything you would ever need.

Great clean hostel. The linens are fresh, wifi is free, staff is friendly. The best economy place to stay in Istanbul. The only downsides are that it is on the Asian side and no towels are provided. Very close 5 min walk to the water ferries to the Europe side.

It was very nice to stay there. Hosts are very helpful in every issue, I recommend you a cruise on Bosfor bay, it was great. Beds in room were comfortable, however the bathrooms needs repair. Overall we spent a week in Istanbul and this place is a perfect place as a starting point ane worth recommending.

Perfect place to stay! It is mostly for young, international people but the atmosphere in the hotel is still peaceful and great to sleep and rest in! It is in a perfect location close to everything and inside the beautiful beautiful streets of Istanbul. The people that work there are so nice, I even had a breakfast with the manager of the hotel (which he cooked for his colleagues and invited me as...

Good location close to Taksim square, and good value for money. The kitchen is rather small but can do the job if you want to cook. The bathrooms (one on each floor) were a bit of a struggle as not being enough to avoid a crowd, but nothing too dramatic.

I had a good time staying in this hostel despite the fact that the hostel room and furniture being less reliable. There’s no ladders to climb up to the upper bunk bed and the toilet was in need of serious repair. It smelled unpleasant and sometimes the water didn’t get the *thing* flushed completely. However, there were two good things about staying here. First, the hostel staff were very friendly...

A quite place to stay in Taksim, Istanbull

excellent service, I'll never regret any minute I spent in there. people are very kind

Thank you very much to the management for reducing the stress of the trip with their knowledge of English. I stayed there for 2 months.

Thank you very much to the management for reducing the stress of the trip with their knowledge of English. A middle-aged man named Abdullah He was very caring and kind I stayed there for 2 months.

Very clean place with 2 separate areas and a very large kitchen The most important thing is that the management is fluent in English and you have no problem communicating. high security

This is my favorite place to stay when I come to Istanbul. I refuse to go anywhere else. Everyone is so nice and sweet. I love coming here because it’s like a family

The best hostel in the İstanbul to stay. Location is perfect and staffs are very friendly, helpful. And there's an amazing cat which welcomes you. There's also a terrace and it has great İstanbul view. You'll like it.

I’ve come here twice and loved it both times. I’ve experienced staying with friends and also being solo. Both times were great and the staff was very welcoming. The rooftop was a highlight of both trips. I also booked serval things through the hostel which turned out great.

Awesome hostel, super friendly staff and happy cat. The room was nice and comfortable, and there were good breakfast and dinner services. The toilets were clean and other clients were friendly- exactly what you want when staying with others. Even with a couple mishaps, the hostel was very helpful to us. The hotel can be loud, with demolition works happening at the time of our stay, but this did not...

There's so many pros that it's hard to keep track of all of them, here's a brief summary : - ideal location, next to the main sites of Istanbul and to the boats (in case you want to see the asian side of the city) - very lively atmosphere in the hostel with many young people around and staff members running events every day. The rooftop plays a key part in this dynamic as it brings everyone together...

We stayed at this hostel for 5 night which was very comfortable and cosy it is like your second home the breakfast was very nice hot water always available and the most important thing it is the location is in city center and you have access to very attractions the owner Can he is so nice and helpful and give all necessary information about Istanbul I definitely recommend this beautiful hostel perfect...

Nice hotel need and clean i stay 2 month before

Gokce pensiyon is a great place to stay its economical and very clean and people working there are very cooperative

Location is good and not that confusing. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds. They provide bath towels for shower everyday. There's no breakfast included in the daily charge but there's a dining area so you can get your food and enjoy there.

Wonderful experience, came from Brazil in december 2020 for tourism and I made many friends in Gokce Pansiyon. Thanks for all hospitality and services. I'll never forget. From the recepcion to breakfast and lunch and çorba at night. Everything very clean and bedrooms cleaned everyday.

what wonderful people. clean hotel,

Great location that's close to everything. Clean rooms, friendly service, and very quiet. Highly recommend

It was a bit unprofessional, like when you arrive there's noone at the reception so you have to call them. Rooms are quite nice and bed super comfy! Out of all I liked the location the most and that's why I'd choose it again.

Perfect hotel for travellers on a budget. The place is clean, well located and the staff as well as the owners are very friendly and helpful in many ways. Dorm cost 70tl per person per night and even include a small breakfast. Guests can use the kitchen and fridge at any time. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.

A very social hostel....with a wide variety of people to meet ...Hygiene Standards very good for Covid-19

This hotel is in a small quiet place just off some main roads. The room was clean, though there was a little smell I don't think it was our room at all. Housekeeping was done daily and there was a free breakfast next door.

Bohot he pyara family hotel hai guests ko bilkul family ki tarha treat kartai hai bohot mazaidar break fast hai inka family k lea bilkul safe jaga hai mairai hisab se sab ko iaha ah kar visit karna chahea

Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of old city area. Convenient location, friendly stuff I really enjoyed it..

Good place to stay. All staff are friendly and willing to help you make anything you want happen. Room is clean and organized. I will definitely recommend you guys to give them a chance to prove themselves. :-)

Cosy boutiqe hotel in the heart of old city located in Istanbul, steps away to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace..

The location and view was amazing. We had a great time at the Bucoleon Palace Hotel. The staff was really kind and helpful. Breakfast was filling and I really enjoyed their service. I highly recommend this place to everyone..

Friendly staff, and very good price. Thought it would be better for meeting other travelers though, not many people around, and the place is a little awkward. Nice enough for the price though

Wen Wen recommended to me, a step into the room just love it here, and I sleep in the fourth floor room facing the sea facing the window Bed, the room is taken to go is the scenery infinite Double terrace, is not the view of the beauty bursting need for you personally to live to live to see: p, In addition to the hostel's free Breakfast buffet must be points like?

Great value for money. Good view from the fourth floor though a little noisy during nights as seagulls sit on roof at night. If it rains, you'll be listening to all of it. Best is to keep good ear plugs.

Pleasant stay at Nobel Hostel in December 2014. The staff was very nice. Great views and a very short walk away to some of the main attractions. A little unexpectedly, it was to be awakened at. 0600 each morning... Had not seen it coming when I chose the location so close to the Hagia Sofia and the Sultan Ahmed. Istanbul is a very exciting city with so much history. A trip back to Istanbul I will be...

I originally booked for 3 nights but ended up staying for 8 nights! Well located place, 10 mins walking from taksim square and metro, easy access to all the main attractions of Istanbul. Good breakfast which is complimentary, staff is cooperative and helpful, the rooms are clean plus the shared washrooms also. Cleaning stuff comes every day to clean. Decided to go on their yacht boat hostel trip and...

I think it’s the best hostel in Istanbul. The reception guys,especially Ali, is fantastic. He is always very nice to me and to everyone I've seen. He does a great job solving problems in the hostel. I have never had any hostel experience before because hostels are not very popular in my country (China). This experience changed my mind, and I plan to stay in hostels more often in the future. It’s a...

This place is amazing. One of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. The prices are fair, the rooms are nice and clean, as well as the common areas. The location is good, pretty safe neighborhood and the view is stunning, the staff really friendly and helpful. I like the fact that you have intimacy even if you share the room with other people (because of the curtains) and the fact that you have lockers...

The rooms are very clean, regular cleaning is done every day, even the rooms for 6 people are very spacious. I would like to talk about the breakfast. There is a diamond on the ground floor. She is a woman whom you can love as much as your mother, because she is a very cheerful, beautiful-hearted person who looks after everyone like a mother. Words cannot express how much I love her. This may be a...

The staff at the front desk are very helpful and friendly ^^ It was definitely one of the best and biggest hostel I've stayed at. The rooms were of decent size, super clean and comfortable as well the AC was in good condition. Taksim which is just a walking distance and other tourist destinations too. I highly recommend!

I stayed four nights in a 6-bedroom, and I'm here to say that this is the best place to live. Very clean bathrooms and toilets, beautiful and clean rooms, comfortable beds, a delicious free breakfast for everyone living in that hostel (whether you live in a 6-bedroom, 4-bedroom or single bedroom) and a calm and relaxing environment. Safety is good. Don't be worried about that. I was worried before...

My best friend and I stayed at Cheers Lighthouse for 5 nights in late July 2022 and we had the absolute best experience! The location was perfect - Great views and close to many tourist attractions. But what made this Hostel truly amazing were the staff. Jay, the bartender, Murat, and Tumay made our stay so much fun! We played games and enjoyed the events they had every night. The atmosphere was always...

This was my best experience. Highly recommended to be at here. They organise different parties everyday. Specifically on Saturday, the belly dance with barbecue and games. Host are really great and cooperative. Breakfast is also good. Location wise close to prime tourist destination (Hague Sophie).

Staff were amazing and beyond helpful - top vibes. There are hostel run events ran every evening, guaranteeing you will always have an evening plan if you want it. The rooms are clean, and some have nice balcony views over the ocean - depending what side of the building you are on. The breakfast is very good and there is plenty of it. Watermelon being one of my favorites for some sweet sweet hydration...

This hostel is amazing. The beds are comfortable, the showers are nice and warm, the rooms are clean, and most of all, the people really add to the atmosphere of this place. The Cheers Lighthouse team are extremely fun, caring, and polite. There are activities at the hostel everyday. (I think I might have done all of them) There is karaoke, delicious bbq nights, pub crawls, belly dances, and shisha...

People and place are amazing

a worth hostel in the old town of Istanbul., in a fantastic location and a privileege view for the marmara sea. unfotunately the don't have a kitchen for the guests to cook.

The hostel is nice. Very noisy,because it is in the main area and streets are full with people and restaurants. The room was clean 👌, but the dush was broken.There were clean towels ,two little bottles with shampoo and showerdush . At night was full with people and opposite the room there is a pub club,and all night was music show. 🎶

A good hostel, with great service, in a good location. The place is so clean and beautiful. 100% recommended 👍👍

I want to thank hostel administration for their friendly attitude toward 5 of us! Especially thanks for organizing for us "special" car to the airport and for your help with the luggage! You are great! And the place is very lovely surrounded with a lot of different cafes! Thanks a lot!

Sockets next to beds and a small shelf for a smartphone. A big locker included and keys for lockers are provided. The locker can carry a big backpack. Hot water in showers. A good terrace upstairs. It has heaters for cold seasons. There exists a kitchen. It's a lounge zone as well. But the same time the terrace is using for smoking. It can be uncomfortable to seat there for work or pleasure. Tea...

Great location and clean rooms. I always stay at Puffin for my visits to Istanbul. The only downside is that the doors on the floors are loud and can be heard loudly and clearly inside the rooms and can wake you up. But overall I really like this place.

Perfect Very nice staff and confortable place. Right t the busy place in besiktas. Stunning view from the balcony

This was my second different hostel in Istanbul. This was at least 2x better than the other one, even though this is almost of the same price and the almost the same location. The only 2 things for which I will highly avoid is the cleanliness of it's kitchen (it was in a pathetic shape, almost pukish) and the extremely stinky toilet. The ones that I am reviewing are in the basement. I am not sure...

I love this place, because of the manager :-) (hello, you!). He was very kind and patient. Some words about service. Everything was wonderful, clean and comfortable. May be a bit noisy, but this is hostel, so what you choose. For this price this is the best place on Taksim square, believe me.

Solo female traveler. Fabulous stay in shared female dorm, clean and tidy. Lockers for big bag as well as small locker at bedside. 3x power plugs per bed ❤️. Yassin is a fabulous host. Could do with a new toilet seat and female dorm door.

This hostel has a fantastic location, with friendly staff and clean rooms. It's a perfect choice for travelers looking for convenience, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere. There was an outlet next to my bed and also privacy curtains that I appreciate so much while sleeping in hostels.

I highly recommand this hostel. I had a great experience staying here for almost a month. It’s small but feels like home. Great value for money. Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. Wifi works very well. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, the location is central and the neighborhood is very calm at night unlike other noisy places in Istanbul. I also felt very safe going out alone at night....

Very nice people, friendly and very helpful plus good prices and very close to all major areas to visit in Taksim Istanbul. Thanks guys 🙏🙏 Special thanks to my friend Ahmed 🙏

Very good location, near all bus stops and near city center. Staff very respectful, receptionists are Yasin and Kerim was very friendly, helpful, open minded and speak english well 🤗
