Liked: Great location, very friendly and helpful stuff, rich and delicious breakfast. It also offers unlimited tea and coffee for free :)

Disliked: As we stayed in a shared bedroom and went to sleep before the others came, we had to leave our room unlocked for the others to enter later. Sharing all one key isnt very comfortable. Also the luggage room seems to be unlocked all the time.

Liked: This has to be one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at- fantastic bathrooms for the 21 bed dorm, great chill bar with big lounging cushions and good food. Free secure lockers and free wireless internet. Shuttle bus to airport also really cheap at €4! I would for sure stay in the 21 bed dorm- its on the top floor with lots of sunlight and really breezy with a cool balcony. 10 bed dorm looked pretty stuffy with no windows but didn't stay there. Staff were super chill and the hostel is on a great street. Good party atmosphere too.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Liked: location was absolutely great, very good turkish coffee

Disliked: in the beginning they were gonna charge more than what the web site stipulated cause they couldnt find my booking when i arrived, and there was no available rooms so we had to go around for a couple of hours and come back, in the end, they gave us what i asked for in the beginning, one room with private bathroom but only because the staff changed when we came back, this other person was more willingfull, nonetheless the overall experience was very satisfying and good

Liked: The locaton is brilliant for all the tourist attractions. The breakfast was generous, the views from the top of the building are amazing, the staff are really helpful and friendly, the plae is really clean, the atmophere is safe, pleasant and supportive. Really good value fro money. Although I shared a dorm with 15 other people, they were all really inspiring to each other and you were able to have privacy.

Disliked: There could be some activities organised by the hostel such as nights out in the evenings to the bar areas, maybe quizzes and some live entertainment

Liked: Sultan is in a fabulous location, plenty of restaurants close by and less than ten mins walk to aya sofia,blue mosque and most other main attractions. definately worth paying the two euros extra a nite to have a 6 bed dorm rather than the 24 bed dorm, i have stayed in both and the 24 bed dorm has no door so security is a bit iffy,(although there are lockers for your valuables),and limited luggage space as there are so many people.great hostel,highly reccommended!

Disliked: bathrooms were not cleaned often enough (stayed 3 nights and the bin wasn't even changed!)
