Lovely welcoming place to stay if you’re a newcomer in Istanbul. The staff are incredibly friendly and made us feel safe and welcome. The rooms are neat (my partner and I shared a double bed in a private room) and cover exactly what you pay for. We would definitely come again

The guy from azerbaijan took my phone and put in a fake review on hostel world, always trying to sell you something, very bad experience

Публикация 2026-06-22

We choose this hostel after seeing the good reviews on Hostel world as it was one of the best review but were instantly dissapointed! We were told it was cash only when we arrived so had to get money out then was told they had no change and would give us it later. Got change late that evening in a mix of euro and lira as they diddnt have it in either currency still. When we were shown our door my bed was still dirty. Asked them to change the sheets and they were skeptical, diddnt believe me and said theyd try. When we got back the other beds in the dorm had been changed but not mine. On top of this the shower was mouldy, there was water stains on the ceiling, the ceiling above the bunk was crumbling away and the whole dorm looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. The lock on my locker instantly fell off when I tried to open it and the room had a stale moist smell. We said we where leaving that day and not staying but we diddnt want money back and were met with a lot of hostility and left feeling very uncomfortable and slightly unsafe. They then cancled my booking on hostel world that eveing so I couldn't review it. Also very dodgy looking staircases to get to dorms! Cracked all the way though! Needless to say we booked a hotel and moved there

Hostelworld provides zero protection for travelers. A hostel was able to maliciously cancel my booking on the day of check-in, falsely claiming I "didn't arrive on time," simply to bypass the refund window and trap my money. Hostelworld’s system completely failed to verify the truth, blindly accepted the property's false claim, and automatically processed it as if I had requested the cancellation. If you want a secure booking platform that actually protects your money and your travel plans from deceptive properties, do not use Hostelworld. They will let managers exploit their app at your expense.

Absolute worst management and a complete lack of professionalism. They canceled my reservation but actively blamed both me and Hostelworld for it, refusing to take any accountability. What makes it malicious is their timing and tactics: they deliberately waited until the actual day of my scheduled check-in to process the cancellation. They falsely claimed on the Hostelworld app that I "did not arrive on time for check-in," which is an outright lie used to cover their tracks after the refund window had already passed. When I confronted the hostel manager directly, they just pointed fingers, deflected blame, and denied any involvement. They trap your money, wait out the clock, and then lie to the booking platform to justify canceling your room at the absolute last minute. Save yourself the stress and avoid this place—they are dishonest and completely unreliable.

Purtroppo no è un posto gestito bene , ho dovuto aspettare fino alle 3:15 per fare il mio check in che era alle 2:pm ma il giorno dil mio che check out si sono presentati praticamente cacciandone via della stanza è una abitudine sentita Como molto rammarico dagli altri ospiti. La pulizia scarsa, La musica altísima disco de prima mattina fino alla sera

Total scam. They waited until the very day of my check-in to cancel my booking just so they could pocket the money after the refund window closed. Then, Cheers Lighthouse lied to Hostelworld claiming I "didn't show up on time" and blamed everyone but themselves. Untrustworthy and deceitful management. Avoid at all costs.

Cette auberge est vraiment super accueillante, le personnel est toujours disponible et aimable, il y a des animations tous les soirs et le petit déjeuner est très bon et copieux, et la vue sur la mer de Marmara vaut le coup, en sirotant son café de bon matin ! L'emplacement est idéal, à quelques minutes à pied de la Mosquée bleue, du Palais Topkapi et Ayasofia, le quartier est animé et on y trouve tout ce qu'il faut. Mention spéciale pour le gérant Erman, qui m'a sortie d'une énorme galère informatique (je télétravaille en voyageant), il a cherché et trouvé la solution quand je pensais être dans le pétrin. Il est allé jusqu'à se déplacer chez un réparateur, avant que je lui demande quoi que ce soit, et sans cette initiative, sa patience et son sens de l'écoute, je pense que mon voyage n'aurait pas été le même ! Merci à toute l'équipe, bonne continuation et à une prochaine fois avec plaisir !

First of all ,the staff members were really friendly and helpful even warmly specially Egemen and Nihao,also the housekeeper,they all worked very long hours and worked hard but the bathrooms were really need attention...other reviews were right about the smells and cleanness... breakfast was very healthy and light,unlike the rest of the food in Istanbul was extremely oily,greasy and salty. The owner seemed to have short tempered with the staffs. It offered various activities and laundry service,airports rides.

The room wasn’t that clean and the shower drain was clogged.

Imposible que sea un hotel 3 estrellas. No está en esa categoría. No lo recomiendo, quizás para jóvenes de poco presupuesto y poco exigentes.

Rezervasyonu ve ödemesi yapılmış bir kişiyi dışarıda gece saatlerinde tutmak nasıl bir his?

A business that inconveniences its customers.

Mükəmməl bir təcrübə idi mənim üçün. Daha əvvəl heç hosteldə qalmamışdım, burdaki işçilərin gülərüzlülüyünü və qonaqpərvərliyini gördükdən sonra mütləq yenə gəlməyi düşünürəm. Mərkəzi lokasiyası da turistlər üçün çox yaxşı bir seçənəkdi.Bosfor boğazı mənzərəsinə qarşı səhər yeməyi təcrübəsi də çox yaxşı idi. Otaqlar da təmiz və yaxşı vəziyyətdə idi. Tövsiyyə edirəm! Azərbaycandan salamlar!

Очень понравился данный хостел, до них поменял три отеля. вкусная еда, просто суперский коллектив, дружелюбный. На терассе нереальный вид на Босфор. Интересные конкурсы устраивают ребята. Отдельная благодарность Нихату

Rezervasyon yaptırmadan önce birkaç kez düşünmenizi tavsiye ederim. Ücreti önceden alınmış rezervasyonunuzla gittiğinizde bile, “Şu anda yerimiz yok” denilerek mağdur edilebilir ve ortada bırakılabilirsiniz. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before making a reservation here. Even if you arrive with a fully paid reservation, you may still be told that there is no availability and be left stranded without any proper assistance.

Bir arkadaşımın ödenmiş rezervasyonu olduğu halde konaklama sağlamamışlar yada para iadesi yapmamışlar. Korkunç gerçekten
