8Verified guest“Perfect if you enjoy narrow stairs, old bedding, and limited kitchen access — quirky but memorable.”
8Verified guest“Free computer use and kind reception staff.”
8Verified guest“Right in the heart of Sultanahmet, a 3-minute walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a decent breakfast for the price. Towels changed every second day. Good value overall.”
8Verified guest“Two-night stay: comfortable bunk bed with shelf, light, and socket. Great location with easy tram access. Rooftop terrace had stunning views of the city and water. Staff went above and beyond. Breakfast was good but no vegan option.”
8Verified guest“You can't beat this location — within a 5-minute walk of the main sights. Check-in staff were helpful and friendly.”
8Verified guest“Staff were always helpful and polite, though their English was limited. Breakfast was simple but fair, served a bit late at 8:30 — too late if you want to head out early to avoid the heat or catch a conference in Taksim. Clean place.”
