The staff were the best! I was able to chat to them and gain such a cool insight into Turkish culture, and they were just so willing to sit down and have a cup of turkish tea with you. Please be warned that there is an acute lack of bathrooms. You must be prepared to wait in the morning and evening rush hour and sometimes going to the toilet or brushing your teeth becomes an issue, as there are just not enough bathrooms for two floors of people. Location was amazing though. Very close to all the sights!

This was my 4rd stay at sydney istanbul hostel. I love the staff, everyone is so nice and helpful. The first thing i saw the last time i stayed was the warm atmosphere between the staff and other travelers. So nice! The location is perfect and very safe. The hostel is placed in a street with a bunch of other hostels and resturants. I strongly recommend this hostel to everyone.

I liked very much staying at this Hostel. First of all, it is very cheap and internet and breakfast is included. Secondly it is close to all import sightseeings and we can see everything by walking. Thirdly people are friendly, helpful and nice. To add all this things, at night, in this Hostel, Turkish music are played which allow us to dance and relax. I recommend it and intend to tell everybody who wish to visit Istambul. Signed Maria Fátima Nóbrega - Madeira Island (Portugal)

It was a great value for money for us, as we saved a lot of money which could have gone on Taxis or other form of transport. The location is perfect for sight seeing. Most sights are at walking distence. Staff were very friendly and helpful and provided the service we asked for. I would recommend it to anybody wishing to visit Istanbul.

The location is wonderful, because it is in the hearth of the ancient Istanbul. So it is worth to stay at this hostel.

Lovely central hostel, clean rooms, reasonable prices, gorgeous roof-top terrace to laze about on, but most importantly such sweet and helpful staff (not to mention one of them looks like George Clooney's twin). And definitely visit the hammam they recommend for the authentic Turkish bathing experience!

It was a fantastic place to meet amazing people both travellers and locals alike. The breakfast was delish and the staff were fantastic. We were here during anzac week and the atmosphere was incredible and magical. The hostel is close to all major attractions and next door to the infamous pub "CHEERS". Had a whale of a time cheers guys Tara and Chris (Australia)
