It was a good location. It was pretty dirty though and I am not certain that they even changed the bed sheets. I wouldnt stay there again.

The atmosphere is incredible, the people - both those working there and those sleeping there - made for one of the best hostel stays I've had in a long time. Everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful and cool, and I felt very safe - especially after I forgot a bunch of my valuables in the lobby in the morning and returned to find them untouched eight hours later. From the hostel's rooftop bar/hangout there is an excellent view of the Blue Mosque, which sets the perfect mood to save a few pints and stories with your fellow travelers. At only 10 euros per night, this is great value for an awesome stay.

The location was excellent, convenient walking to most of the historic sites in the Old City and 2 minutes to the tram should you wish a longer journey to the Asia side. Our front door faced the adjacent sidewalk cafe where the waiters were very welcoming whether you needed a hot cup of tea or just directions to a site.

Extremely helpful staff and a good location in Sultanahmet too. Would have liked to have had a plug in the bathoom sink though, as this made shaving harder than need be!

Awesome Hostel... Antonio the is owner is very friendly and so is the rest of the staff. Rooms are nice and clean ( beds could have better sheeting) but all in all this is a great place for the price. Les from Canada

Ok location, ok price. On the negative side, seems that some of the employees or their friends) seem to be a little bit too eager to hang around with girl travelers traveling without companion, if you know what I mean.

We loved our stay at Old City Hostel! They came to pick us up from the airport with own car and waited even though we were almost 2 hour late! They were very helpful with everything and served us the most amazing breakfast the next morning. Room is clean and tidy . Great place!
