Liked: The location was excellent. And the rooftop bar is a great touch, a welcome respite from the hustling city.
Disliked: We stayed in the top room which unfortunately is right beneath the bar so it is very very noisy until 2/3am. The bathrooms were a bit too dirty for my liking and the mattresses on the beds very uncomfortable. Also, the linen did not look clean.

Liked: Full of character and great fun. You won\'t want to leave their roof patio in the evenings. We have enjoyed very much our stay at old city hostel We have met a lot of lovley people in his beautiful terrace with very good music at night.The feel of the place and socialness of the staff made it the most fun, and I loved the rooftop patio with food, a bar, nargile (hookah) and lots of big pillows to sit on The hostel is very closer to interesting tourist sites and transports; and the staff is very kind and lovely. We spent 7 nights there, and if we come back someday at Istanbul, we will surely return at this hostel. Thanks for all !

Liked: The dorm rooms are not great, really cramped. No space to leave things at all. Have had better dorms elsewhere. If you do want to stay here, just book at hostelbookers, it's otherwise 10 euros per night if you book it here.

Liked: 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.
Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
