Second Home Hostel

Публикация 2026-08-19

Room service and location is 5/5. Words cannot express how amazing this stay is. I’ve made life long friends here and each and everyone of them say it’s truly the best hostel they have stayed at (and they have been to many). Yusuf, Mehmo and Farouq are absolutely the most helpful kind best people I will ever know to this day. When they say second home they meant every word of it. The toilets and showers are clean, the activities are great and the dinners are spectacular. If you’re on the fence just do it, I did and I don’t regret it.

Second Home Hostel truly lives up to its name as a second home in Istanbul. Everything about this hostel experience has been perfect: from the convenient location in the heart of Istanbul’s historic tourist district to the warm and welcoming staff in their provision of every imaginable resource, such as in-house meals or planned tours of not only Istanbul but Turkey. This hostel is lively yet organized, making for a perfect balance and hospitable, comfortable stay. I couldn’t recommend this hostel more to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Had a wonderful time! Mostly on the Terrasse where you meat lots of people and get to know them easily. Memo, who is working there, is such a gem! He helped us in so many ways. The offered activities are also amazing!

ilk hostel deneyimimdi biraz çekiniyordum açıkçası ama diğer insanların yorumlarına güvenerek geldim boşa da çıkmadı ve çok güzel bir konaklama geçirdim çalışanlar çok kibar ve güleryüzlüler bir daha istanbula geldiğimde kalacak yerim hazır :)

One of my favorite hostels I've stayed at. I originally planned to stay for just a few days, but I ended up extending my stay multiple times because I enjoyed it so much. The location is perfect, with lots of attractions, restaurants, and public transportation within walking distance. The hostel organizes plenty of activities, from family dinners to club crawls and boat parties, so it's really easy to meet other travelers. There's also a cozy rooftop terrace that's a great place to chill and hang out. The best part, though, was the people. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Even with so many guests coming and going, the staff at the front desk remembered my name and greeted me every time I came downstairs. It's such a small thing, but it made me feel really welcome. A big thank you to Memo, Beata, Faruk, and all of the volunteers for creating such a warm atmosphere. The hostel really lives up to its name and feels like a second home. I'd definitely stay here again!

이 정도의 퀄리티로 4.6이라는 평점이 놀라울 따름입니다. 다른 나라에서도 호스텔 많이 이용해봤는데 최악 중 최악이었어요. 엘리베이터가 없고 계단이 가파른편이라 짐이 많은 분들은 힘들수도 있습니다. 그리고 방 열쇠를 주지만 사실상 필요가 없어요. 늘 열려있습니다. 현관도 밤에도 늘 열려있어서 도난 문제도 유의해야할 것 같습니다. 그리고 낮 30도가 넘는 이 여름에 방에 에어컨은 당연히 없고 먼지가 가득 낀 선풍기가 24시간 돌아가고 있지만 엄청난 소음을 유발할뿐 그다지 도움이 되지 않습니다. 너무 더워서 차라리 루프탑에서 자고 싶은 심정이었습니다. 엄청 더워서 창문을 열고자는데 밖이 바로 도로라 차 소리가 엄청 커서 차 소리 + 선풍기 소리로 도저히 잘 수가 없었어요. 그리고 청소 당연히 안합니다. 빨래를 했는지도 모르겠고 굉장히 찜찜한 침대 커버 하나 줍니다. 그리고 누군가 체크아웃을 하면 그 자리를 청소하는게 기본인데 그것도 안하는 것 같아요. 제가 쓰던 방 2층침대에 있던 사람이 오전에 체크아웃을 했는데도 저녁에 방 들어오니 두고간 짐들과 이불들이 치워지지 않은채 그대로 있었습니다. 그리고 제가 잘때도 밤새 피부가 가려워서 잠을 한숨도 못잤어요. 샤워실도 둘 중 하나는 아예 망가져서 쓸 수 없는 상태였지만 그냥 방치되고 있었습니다. 이 숙소에서 좋은 점을 하나도 못찾겠어요. 돈 버리지 말고 깔끔하고 시설 좋은 다른 호스텔 가세요. 리뷰 절대로 믿으면 안됩니다.

Super auberge ! Le personnel y est accueillant. Vous pouvez sociabiliser facilement, mais aussi être au calme si vous le souhaitez. Il y a également une vue magnifique depuis le rooftop et des petits déjeuners délicieux.

Memo and Faruq were generous and hospitable and looked after me when I got my dates wrong. Beautiful rooftop, great pub crawl.

Burası yeni bağlantılar kurmayı seven insanlar için idealdir. Personel çok yardımseverdir. Kahvaltısı iyidir. Terasta daima konuşacak birilerini bulmanız mümkün

I just stayed a couple nights out of convenience for location mostly but it was an overall nice stay. The hostel is quite central, on a good street next to a couple of nice restaurants and the staff are so accommodating and kind. There’s also a lovely terrace upstairs which is perfect for (unexpected) socialising! My only downside was the rooms were super small and only one toilet each floor. However, for such a short stay it’s no problem. Extra perk: Mimi the cat!

Sehr nices Hostel um Istanbul zu entdecken um auch neue Menschen kennenzulernen. Positiv Beeindruckt hat mich wie zentral das Hostel zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten wie der Galata Brücke oder auch Moscheen liegt. Mein Grösstes Lob geht an das Personal insbesondere Faruk der mich auch zu einem sehr leckeren Kebap Restaurant beraten hat sowie seine Gastfreundschaft.

Meine Zeit im Second Home Hostel war einfach toll. Das Hostel hat eine gute Lage die nah an den Sehenswürdigkeiten ist und bei der man sich sicher fühlt. Die Mitarbeiter des Hostels sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Family Dinner, dass traditionell türkisch war, war jedes Mal sehr lecker und eine super Gelegenheit andere Gäste kennenzulernen. Generell ist es ein super soziales Hostel und wenn man nicht zufällig jemanden auf der Rooftop Terrasse trifft bietet das Hostel Möglichkeiten wie Pub-Crawls, Partys oder gemeinsame Spieleabende an. Da ich Solo Reise war das für mich ein größer Mehrwert. Außerdem bietet das Hostel Aktivitäten an die man alleine gut machen kann, wie eine Walking Tour oder das türkische Hammam. Ansonsten war alles sauber, gute Kommunikation und guter Service. Ich würde wieder kommen.

I love this hostel. For those people who are traveling with group or like me they're cool with a shared room hostel, this place, the staff, and the service is great. Definitely recommend it if you visit Istanbul

Amazing people running this place. Rooms were nice and the roof top is great to meet other travelers. There are some activities like dinner with Turkish dishes and pub crawl. A really cool place.

I had a good stay here overall. Good location right in the heart of the Golden Horn, very close to the metro and so many places. I also met lots of cool people, there's a good rooftop social space where people get together and they host the regular family dinner. A couple of the staff were really nice too, especially the younger ones. The hostel itself is clean and well equipped. The bed was comfy and shower decent. It wasn't cheap for a hostel and they are keen to sell you tours, pub crawls, breakfasts etc which seemed a bit on the pricey side, but obviously these are optional. Overall, if you're looking for a social hostel in a great location, this fits the bill.

Персонал был чрезвычайно полезным и сговорчивым. Юсуф был гостеприимным, Мехмед был супер прекрасным и помогал бронировать шаттлы и делать их доступными. Фарук дал отличные рекомендации для веселых и надежных мест, чтобы проверить

Отличное социальное общежитие. Самые дружелюбные люди, которых я встречал в своей поездке. Сотрудники общежития организовали групповые ужины и экскурсии на лодках и т.д. рекомендовали бы
