Hostels in IstanbulHostel

The staff are great, I was always treated with kindness and a generous amount of Turkish tea. Everything is clean, location is great, hot water, fair prices. I would stay here again.

I had a very good 2 nights stay at a single room in the hostel. The location is pretty much very central, just 5 minutes walk to Taksim square, close to a lot of good restaurants.

Place, interior, style, location, coziness, friendliness of the staff, included breakfast – this is a place you want to return to again and again.

I liked everything very much, a good hotel, clean. Friendly staff. The hotel is well located, next to a popular pedestrian street, and a bridge to the other side of the bank.

The folks at the reception were very hospitable. The hotel is at a great location too — very safe and streets are lively even late in the night.

I was super satisfied with the place. All staff were kind and helpful. Location is great. Room was spacious and comfortable (I stayed 2nights in the female dorm).

The whole experience has been great so far we are just coming into two day at the hotel and we cant find any faults with the hotel. The staff are friendly and make you welcome in the hotel.

The breakfast was really good, it had many different items and it tasted good too. Breakfast was at the rooftop and it had a nice atmosphere too. I'm very happy to have stayed here.

First time in Istanbul and booked Agora Guesthouse based on its history of positive reviews and its proximity to the sights.

Staff fantastic, bed is good, Localizacion amazing.

Cozy, clean. Very well located! restaurant on the terrace with views of the Bosphorus. Different accommodations for good price.

Everyone here is so kind and wonderful! They give great recommendations, are welcoming, and all around wonderful! I was solo traveling and they made me feel right at home!

Very convenient location and friendly staff. Note that the rooms are not as bright and new as in the pictures and that the breakfast is somewhat basic.

Insider tip in Istanbul. Very good and reasonably priced hotel with very nice hosts. Very central.

The best hostel I stayed in… Nice helper and so kind. Clean place and strategic.

This hotel is truly a family-run gem. The owner’s attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the immaculate cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms to the spotless floors on every level.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience here! Good food, super friendly service! I highly recommend staying here.

It is truely a home away from home with great people running the place. And it's in a great location too! I kept extending my stay and if I'm ever back in Istanbul, I'll come back here for sure :-)

I've been coming to Istanbul for 5 years and have been on the search for the perfect hostel the entire time.

The manager is very kind and helpful.
Fair price at such a good location just 600m to Hagia Sophia.
Room and bathroom is very clean.
Hotel can arrange transport to airport at very good price.

Really nice, clean and new looking hotel. Definitely recommend for the price! Good location, good size room, and a perfect bathroom!

The staff, the staff and the staff, just the best!
Beside, everything was excellent, comfortable and modern rooms, excellent breakfast, good common kitchen and of course the location.

I wish I could have stayed longer! The hosts were so hospitable and lovely.

We loved this location very much. Everyone is very friendly. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast is amazing.

We had such a great stay here. The location is perfect, right by the ferry so getting around Istanbul was super easy. Everything we wanted to see was just a short walk away.

Very convenient location. Beautiful house and room. And best host.
For me to bother to write the details besides the summary, it spoke a lot about this place and the host.

Thank you to Emre and Tubah for the warm hospitality for our trip to Istanbul. Rooms and common spaces are extremely clean and organized. Common area kitchen is well stocked and clean as well.

Nice cozy hotel, big rooms and very friendly personnel. The location is good—lots of shops, food nearby, train station nearby.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in Istanbul. Family vibes in a great location near everything. Great breakfast, comfy beds, kitchen, and meeting great people. Thanks guys, I’ll be back!

Everything was 10/10.
A perfect place to enjoy a holiday. We stayed for 7 nights and truly had a great time. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.

We have been so happy with our stay and the staff has been SO helpful with everything, even creating an intinirary for our stay in Cappadocia (John is very knowledgeable about his hometown!

Oh Cheers, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways — if I can.
This may not be the tidiest hostel in Istanbul (though I happily report no critters).

The hostel is in a great location—you can easily reach almost everything you need as a tourist. It’s a little far from the metro, but still manageable.

I recommand highly Galata West Hostel.
Very good hostel, very tiny but everything is there, clean rooms, roof top with a great sunset, kitchen to cook and friendly people taking care of us, thank you!

My stay at this hostel was fantastic, largely thanks to the amazing receptionist. He was not only welcoming and professional but also incredibly helpful throughout my visit.

Good location, good bathroom for the dorm with clean bedding. Staff are a bit meh.

A very good place! It gives you the feeling of being one of the local people of Istanbul. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood in Al-Fatih, close to everything. The hostel is clean and well-organized.

Erhan is top man, we stay there for a week and enjoyed so much. Near to seaside, cheap food, easy to reach. Thank you for everything 🙂
