Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My most important review is that the travelers (especially solo female ones) need to be aware of one male receptionist who was extremely rude to me multiple times. I am not sure what triggered that man, but that was the worst experience in Turkey for me. He threatened me and made me feel unsafe. I had no choice but to stay there, I wish I had an option to move elsewhere since there are lost of other budget friendly places in that area. I would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about being treated with respect and dignity. Stay away.

The heating was terrible. Breakfast bad. The wall is damaged and not fully painted. You can not allow using the kitchen during the day and night. The stair was not safe. The bathroom was clean but didn't have a bidet or water hose.

Room was clean & comfortable. Small, but sufficient. Good shower. Reliable WiFi. Great location in nice neighbourhood, walking distance to all in Sultanahmet, ferry terminals & Galat Tower. Breakfast was filling, & the terrace had nice views, but a bit of background music would have made it more comfortable/improved the atmosphere. More of a guesthouse with dorms than a hostel (which wasn't a bad thing for us).

Amazing location! Rooms were decent, clean. Annoyed that I booked separate rooms for my father and I and they we’re supposed to be identical but they ended up giving him a room with a single bed with a bunk which was not a good fit for him. After we asked about it they just shrugged it off and said it will still be the same price

Charming hostel in the old city of Istanbul
The antique hostel never disappoints, has a great view from their Terrace where a delicious Turkish breakfast is served consisting of cheese olives eggs some fresh herbs fruits accompanied by coffee or tea. I have stayed at this property before and will certainly stay here again when I am here in Istanbul. The staff more than accommodating happy to see me as a returning customer arrange for covid test and any extracurricular activities I may have needed.

The 4 bed dormitory was okay ! Tiny but you could sleep in peace . I liked the common area , you could go anytime you want . Staff were nice but a little cold but I guess that's the case all over İstanbul . Breakfast was weak , it can hold u up for 1h or so .
