I've stayed in Istanbul a few times and would highly recommend this hostel to stay. I had booked into another hostel and walked past this one and came in because of the friendly people! It feels like everything is under your feet - awesome views of aya sofia, blue mosque and bosphorus. Rooms and bathrooms cleaned regularly and there was a great atmosphere around the place, nice to come back to after a day out.

The staff was realy friendly and created a great and personal atmosphere. After the first night we always had the feeling of coming home from our exciting days. From the terrace we had a breathtaking view over the city and the Hagia Sophia on one side and the Bosporos on the other side.

Location was good, but staff unavailable and avoided us with change, very dirty, no non-smoking areas, locked when we arrived, not worth the money charged, no breakfast, although supposedly included

I loved the location! Can't be beat!
I also like that it has a rooftop, though we didn't use it this time. It was too cold.
