Sultan Hostel&Guesthouse is one of the cheapest hostels available in Sultanahmet area. The hostel is run by a team of locals who speak good English and are more than helpful in providing tourist information about the various tourist attractions in the area.
The Location
The hostel is located merely ten minutes' walk away from major attractions in Istanbul such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. There are numerous bars and restaurants in the hostel's vicinity, so it can get rather noisy at night. The hostel itself also runs a restaurant right outside the hostel, which plays loud music well into the night. Fortunately, the soundproofing in bedrooms is good, so guests are unaffected by the noise.
Guests coming from Taksim or Esenler bus station can take the metro and transfer to a tram. The nearest tram station to the hostel is at the Sultanahmet station.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are crowded and packed with only a single walkway in the room. Beds are old and in poor condition. No lockers are provided. The ceiling of some of the rooms are leaking and the water will splash onto the beds of certain guests. Rooms are cold during the winter as there is no proper heating system. However, thick blankets are provided to make up for this.
The walkways between rooms are narrow and always congested due to the large number of guests staying in the hostel, making it uncomfortable to walk through.
Bathrooms are dirty and small. There are too many guests and too few cubicles, so guests have to constantly queue up at the bathrooms and toilets. No towels or showering gel are provided.
Common Spaces
The hostel has a small internet room with a row of wall-facing seats. This is the only "lounge" available in the hostel, especially at night. In the morning, the hostel's restaurant serves breakfast to all guests, so guests can choose to hang out there instead. Breakfast were served on a buffet basis with free-flow cheese, bread, and jam.
Summary
Sultan Hostel&Guesthouse is a great budget option for travelers who plan to visit the various historical attractions in the area. However, the hostel is a little bit overcrowded and facilities are poor, so guests who prefer more comfort may wish to consider other hostels in the same area.
