Hostels in Istanbul

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.

Forget other hostels in Istanbul ! This is the best that you can get ! Modern Industrial design with elevator. Clean Room with bunk bed and curtain for privacy, locker, and shelves. Many toilets / shower room each floor Free breakfast at the rooftop bar Free mineral water Have washing machine Locker and storage area for you stuffs Friendly staffs Working space Nearby have many mini markets, bus from...

The rooms are a bit small bit clean and tidy. Really one of the best hostels I've ever seen. Also, don't miss the rooftop bar and say hi to Selim. And, Ahmad (Ahmet?), the guy at the reception desk, answered any questions I had very patiently and carefully and does whatever he can to help the guests. He is a real gem.

Accommodation is very near to Taksim square. Budget friendly place with 24h reception. The nearest bus stop is just 2 min away. Rooms do have all the amenities as mentioned. But not so sophisticated. Public toilets and bath areas are plenty mostly all are unoccupied even during peak hours. Rooms are not noise proof, many times we were able to hear people talking mostly till very late at night.

Loved this hostel, comfy bunks with individual curtains and chargers. Good breakfast and views from the terrace. Social events are great and some free ones like movie nights and dinners! Staff are the best. Will stay again when I come through the city

My experience at this hostel was good. Ozan and Ahmed are nice people and handle things politely, except for the person who works in the mornings; he was rude and uncooperative. The only thing that bothered me was that on one day of my stay, when I asked at the reception to extend my stay for an additional day, I found that all my belongings had been removed from the bed and thrown onto the floor in...

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...

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.

I advice it hundred person. There is a nice terrace. High quality coffee tea. And also you can sleep very comfortably. Also all staff so wonderful. Specially esra!

Nice place to stay during long layovers in general: the lounge is comfy, the WiFi is quick, the toilets are great. BUT my experience had two considerable minuses: 1) while I was trying to fall asleep, the receptionists opened my curtain TWICE to check if someone was there. What if I was changing my clothes at that moment? Besides of the lack of privacy, the curtain instead of a door is a poor decision...

It's a nice and very comfortable place. It's clean and cozy in the cabin and you have everything you need. After booking you get nice bonuses as well. What is more, wanna thank Kaan (the administrator), he is so polite and helpful!

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...

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.

Good ambience, really helpful staff, beautiful view from the common area. You have a very nice break included. Absolutely recommend.

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...

As a budget traveler, I chose the Antique Hostel for my stay in Istanbul, and it proved to be a wonderful choice. I opted for a 4 bed dormitory room, which was not only comfortable but also impeccably clean. The location of the hostel is truly unparalleled, nestled just a five-minute walk from iconic historical landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and many more. It’s hard to beat the convenience...

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!

The low price is amazing considering the extremely central location (on the way there you always walk along both the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet mosque). The service was okay, but it was really unsettling that anyone could just walk in. Though the female 6-bed room has two bathrooms, both the showers leak a lot and have black mold in them. The rooms also smelled and aren't in great shape. Would recommend...

I like this hostel very much! People who work inside is very friendly and helpful. This hostel even have terrace. Good kitchen and warm temperature inside. Quality is very good and location is perfect! Also it’s very good price! I rate this hostel 10/10! ❤️

The staff were extremely friendly and it was both very affordable and close to the centre. I had a single room on the first night and a dorm bed the second. The dorm rooms are clean and neat. The bathrooms in one of the female dorms had a considerable amount of mould on the ceiling. The second bathroom was fine. The hostel single room was functional but the bathroom smelled so considerable I had to...

I've had a great stay here and the staff are superb as is the owner.. at the end of the day it's a busy hostel and you can't expect the world it's a place to lay your head in safety with some added comfort, but in all it's always what you and the staff make it. We made it fantastic! I have met new friends and I've been treated like family. The location is perfect! You have many places around to eat...

The best place ever. The owner is super helpful and nice. The rooms have everything you need and more. Hot showers and a nice Turkish breakfast. I'll go back there again and again

Rooms are clean, Kitchen is also available for cooking and there is a dining area as well. The Boys room is in the basement, but it's good. Staff is nice and respectful. Overall experience is good. The only thing that could elevate the experience is washing maching and dryer for guest's clothes because the price of the laundry is around 250tl per kg. Otherwise, it's a good place to stay if you are...

've been traveling solo since 2016 and have stayed in a wide range of hostels around the world. This one definitely ranks in my top 10. Green House is clean, well-maintained, and true to its promises. The owner's hospitality, like that of many Turks, is exceptional, and I genuinely felt at home here. Recommended hand on heart :D

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.

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 🤗

Well, it was very hot🥵 there is an air conditioner but it doesn’t really work.. and it’s quite noisy outside so I couldn’t sleep with door open. Also hot water didn’t come out. You can barely access wifi on 3rd floor room

Hello, a really nice and comfortable hotel! They are very helpful and so sweet in service. I really recommend this hotel!

This place was more of a home than hostel. Metin and Veysi were such amazing people who constantly made an effort to make everyone feel so comfortable. I met some amazing people here and certainly would be a place I would return when I return to Istanbul ??❤️

Best hostel in the city! They will give you all the information, comfort and care, you would feel as at home! Memo and Zeynap are amazing people and they attract other excellent people to their place. Just enjoy the Bella Vista community in lazy evenings, sit with a cup of tea, talk and listen.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Clean, quiet, great view from the terrace, friendly and helpful staff, convenient location close Taksim Square for trains and busses. Amazing value. The vegetarian cafe on the ground floor is super cheap and delicious.

it is a great place to hang out, meet new people and to explore the city. staff is super friendly. the view from the terrace is fantastic

I visited Istanbul for a summer trip. In the beginning, I had a hard time finding affordable hotels. but I'm so glad I found this hotel. I suggest you to stay in this hostel too, because it is much quieter and cleaner than other hostels, in the city center.

I had a very great time in Musk Hostel. The team is friendly and very helpful. The hostel is clean and very close to Taksim square. I recommend to anyone looking for a good cheap hostel in Istanbul

The best hostel in Istanbul, I have experiences with many hostels, but this is the best one in terms of dealing with customers, as well as comfort, cleanliness and security. What I liked the most was the beautiful modern decor and I feel at home in the family

This hostel is one of the best hostels I stayed in. Very clean, great service and friendly staff. I highly recommend this hostel to everyone especially for tourists. Thank you for the amazing stay and wonderful time! 👍

Very nice place with friendly staff. Bed is nice, each guest has big personal safe box to keep belongings. Bathroom area is a bit unkempt and shabby due to the humidity there. Overall I had very nice three nights in a hostel for a very decent price.

That's exactly what you should looking for if you wanna stay in a convenient place and meet people during your stay. The only drawback for me was the works just next to the wall of my room but it was okay anyway. It was just impossible to sleep after 9am but I suppose that kind of stuff might happen sometimes. There are lockers in rooms, curtains at each bed and even a light next to the bed if you...

I was supposed to stay in this place for two nights but end up spending only one. The reason why I am giving four ⭐️ instead of five, is that I arrived very late (3 am because of a delay in my flight) and I thought that the hostel will still be open. Long story short, I spent the night in another hotel and checked in the next day. The room was clean and it has a luggage locker. The staff are nice and...

Definitely one of the best hostels of İstanbul! It has good staff, good people, free lockers, comfortable beds with curtains and private lights. There are also many common areas with cool view, A/C and wifi. 🐱 - cats! The basement of the hostel is cats. Be ready, they are nice and they are everywhere! ⚡Not every room has A/C or mosquito net, but you can ask about that and staff will help.
