Great hostel, stayed in a private room a bit on the small side but did have en- suite and AC !! From the rooftop terrace was a great view of the Bosphorus whilst having a good breakfast included in the price.

Location: The hostel is situated on the main bar/restaurant/clubbing area of old town so it's convenient, only 10 mins walk to Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Some people may prefer to stay somewhere that's not too busy. Closest tram station would be Sultanahmet. Service: Good. The staff are friendly, quick and helpful. Breakfast: Continental, consists of ham, cheese, cucumber, tomato,... More

Although the people who attended the hostel were very nice, the instalations are really messy and dirty. If you rent a shared room you will have to share only one bathroom with the hole floor. Its really uncomfortable. We stayed in a room with other girls very very noisy, and hardly we couln´t sleep at all. The ubication its comfortable... More

We booked 3 months before our arrival date. All confirmed on email. 6 days before arriving we were told there was a problem with our booking. Actually, it was a problem with management. Seems it was more lucrative to accept a larger booking, over book our room, and then tell us our booking was a problem and there was no... More

Great location in the heart of everything a visitor would want to see. Affordable dorm rooms were pretty cramped (it was the smallest room I'd ever seen for 8 people after a year of travel) but everyone makes it work. Breakfast is basic but filling. In my opinion the rooftop terrace is what sells the place. Spectacular views. Wifi coverage... More

The best thing about this hostel is undoubtedly the location. It's a walking distance from the city center, the neighborhood is quiet and the view from the top floor is amazing.

This hostel is decent. It was clean, well kept and well attended, but the most exciting thing about Sydney was their free turkish breakfast! I loved it. Also, the location is excellent. Sultanhamet is right next to the Ayasofia and the Blue Mosque and is very close to public transport. They have an airport shuttle service for very cheap, too.... More
