    That's what I wanted. The room was cleaned every day. Breakfast is monotonous, but nourishing. The location is excellent (5 minutes to the Blue Mosque). The street is quiet. Nearby there are many restaurants and a couple of shops. I advise.

    everything's nice.

    great breakfast

    We explored the mystical world of dervishes and chilled at the nearby Sultanahmet Park. The dorms were clean, and the staff was super friendly. Breakfast on the rooftop was great. Perfect spot to visit all the sights without the noise.

    Fantastic stay with a homey vibe

    I stayed for 4 nights and loved every moment! The location is primo, just a short walk to major sights like Hagia Sophia. The shared room was super clean, with comfy beds and privacy curtains. Breakfast was a treat with all that yummy food.

    Lovely rooftop terrace with fine views of the old city.

    Breakfast options were limited and unappetizing.

    excellent breakfast
    great location

    The breakfast was excellent, and it really set the day right. The location is perfect, just a quick walk from major sights. I also loved the peaceful sema session that added a special touch to my visit.

    diverse breakfast
    poor ventilation
    fluctuating water pressure

    This hostel offered a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff and a cute golden retriever. While cleanliness was impressive and the breakfast was diverse, the bathroom lacked proper ventilation and had fluctuating water pressure. A solid choice for travelers seeking comfort and a central location in Istanbul.
