Hostels in Istanbul Province, Türkiye

The size of the room is not very large, and the sanitary conditions are decent. If you go to sleep, it’s okay. The mosque next to it has a loudspeaker ringing several times a day. When you go out, you’re right next to the commercial street. It’s also relatively close to several nearby attractions. In short, it’s OK to sleep if you’re traveling on a budget. There is hot water in the public bathroom and public toilet in a single room. If you have requirements for accommodation conditions, it is recommended to stay in a B&B

I have been here at the hostel for a week. The service is very nice and they help where they can. I had a room change without problems and these are clean and relatively quietly located to a side street. The bakery faces one in the morning with the smell of fresh bread ;) However, no loud supply. Breakfast is nice, marmelade, honey, some vegetables and tea, water or coffee. It is worth mentioning that the staff members clean every day. Only in the bathroom is a hook to hang up and protect his stuff and cultural bags from wet :D

I made a reservation for Stay Inn Taksim Hostel via Agoda.com website for 3-6 February.Due to special reasons, I could not enter the hostel on February 3, and in this case, I contacted the hostel officer and informed him that he would check in on February 4.Despite this, my reservation was canceled by the hostel just because I did not log in and the hostel officer said that if I make a new reservation with a higher price, I will only be able to stay at the hostel that way. What kind of customer satisfaction is it that I can't use a service that I have paid for in advance and that a higher fee is demanded again? So I had to stay in another hotel.If you don’t want to happen this to you never choose Stay Inn Taksim Hostel and should definitely stay away! Agoda.com internet sitesi üzerinden Stay Inn Taksim Hostel adlı hostele 3-6 Şubat tarihleri için kredi kartı ile peşin ödeyerek rezervasyon yaptım. Özel sebeplerden dolayı 3 Şubatta hostele giriş yapamadım ve bu durumu hostel görevlisi ile görüşerek 4 Şubatta giriş yapacağımı ilettim ve görevli tarafından hostele giriş bilgileri tarafıma iletildi. Fakat buna rağmen 4 Şubatta hostele gittiğimde otele giriş yapmadığım için hostel tarafından rezervasyonumun iptal edildiğini, konaklama ücretinin iade edemeyeceklerini ve yeniden daha yüksek ücretle rezervasyon yapılırsa ancak o şekilde konaklayabileceğim söylendi. Ücretini peşin olarak ödediğim bir hizmetten ertesi gün geleceğimi bildirdiğim halde faydalanamayıp bir de üstüne tekrar daha yüksek ücret talep edilmesi nasıl bir müşteri memnuniyetidir? Şehir dışından geldiğim için de başka otelde konaklamak durumunda kaldım. Bir an önce konaklamadığım halde onayım alınmadan hostel tarafından tek taraflı olarak iptal edilen rezervasyon ücretinin iade edilmesini ve oluşan mağduriyetin giderilmesini istiyorum. Bir daha asla Stay Inn Taksim Hostel'i tercih etmem ve kesinlikle uzak durulmalı!

It's almost close to everything. Room looks exactly like the pictures. Service very nice. Everything was actually great, except that the room was on the street side and you could hear a bit of traffic noise in the morning, but it wasn't a problem. Everything was good.. It's plenty for people who don't stay in the room all the time..

The hotel is very clean and tidy, with no mosquito odor. There is a convenience supermarket downstairs. There is a kitchen where you can cook your own meals to save money. The owner Mert l is warm and friendly, and the staff is also very friendly. The most important thing is that it is very close to the subway line M4. The transportation is convenient and very close to the seaside. I often interacted with my European roommates and learned a lot of English words.

Yaklaşık iki aydır bu hostelde kalıyorum. Diğer hostellerden ayıran farkı her gün temizlik yapılması ve çarşafların değişmesi. Temiz olması. Her hangi bir sorununuz olması halinde bildirdiğiniz takdirde hemen çözülüyor. Resepsiyonda ki arkadaşlar (Seyf, Gamze, Ali ) RoofBar'da ki arkadaşlar (Sevda, Ulaş, Özkan, Adnan) Housekeeping ve diğer personel arkadaşlarda çok ilgililer. Kesinlikle tavsiye ettiğim bir hostel.

One of my favourite places is antique hostel, I traveled to seventeen countries and I can say this hostel is on my top 5 hostels among Europe and asia, the stuff is so nice and helpful, the place so clean and comfortable and the breakfast is very good, in addition it has two floors terrace so, I would definitely book here again and I strongly recommend it

Well, I booked online for our family of 5 members. They advised they have an apartment suitable for us. When I reached there, we found that the apartment is not in the main building, we have to climb long stairs Infront of the building, then go up a little hill, then go up again the stairs for 3 floors with all the luggage just to find out that the apartment has only one AC in the main room but the other one with the sofa and extra bed has no AC in August!!!! That was very very disappointing since it was never mentioned anywhere, neither that the apartment is in a separate building nor it is in a higher floor or not fully air-condionned but what happened next was what made us feel at home. Bora, the one at the reception, who confirmed my booking then did his best to try shuffling some rooms so we can fit in the main building but since me and the rest of the family were willing to stay together, I suggested to try one night and see if we could handle the heat or we will need to move to more than one room in the main building. At night we had a wonderful window view of the old town and Galata tower that I wouldn't give for any air-conditoned room :))) Despite the apartment was very small and we could barely move but it was really clean and it had everything we could need to feel home. The sound of seagulls woke us up in the morning and we slept watching the moonlight covering Galata Tower at night. A wonderful experience i wish to repeat, we were lucky because it was full moon. They always sent someone to clean and change the bed sheets and towels, and they did their best helping with the luggage up and down. The day of check out, they were very generous, they made a discount on the full amount as an apology we didn't know much about the apartment, and the owner offered us simit and cheese, a very traditional yet yummy Turkish breakfast. I loved the stay, what made it beautiful was the generosity of the staff, how welcoming they were, the cleanness of the place and the unforgettable view of the apartment, I will definitely go back

I wanted to stay at a hostel so I booked this. It’s close to Taksim Metro station within 5-10 min. walk. - which is important for me. And also 10-15 minutes to Taksim Square. The hostel it self is not huge. It doesn’t also have elevator, so you have to carry on your own luggage. The receptionist Gönül is very kind and helpful, and tried to help me to connect my HES code to Taksim card. But I was messing with us, so Tugba (I think she’s a cleaning lady) she was sooo sweet and borrowed me her own Taksim Card. (But I forgot to give it back🤦🏻‍♀️). You can ask anything and they will help you. They are smiling and kind and it made me feel welcome and safe. Side note: So guys make sure to get your HES code before travel, cus travel around in Istanbul with Istanbul Card is much CHEAPER than one way ticket. And also to “check in” when shopping in the malls. (I seriously don’t know why it doesn’t makes sense, cus no other places as restaurants or any place don’t demand you to show the HES code) Back to hostel: I stayed at lady rooms. It was small. And also warm, you can’t regulate the warm but have to tell the reception so they can regulate it. So don’t be shy… they are willing to help. We had the shower inside our room, and toilet outside the room but next to us. It’s all small so don’t except big. I ate out all the time so I didn’t used the kitchen. The reason I specifically chose this was because it had curtains so I could have space for my self. I would definitely come back again. 👌🏼

Moda Drei was fine for a few days. The dorm was nice and large with great AC, and the lockers are huge, really good (although their electronic locks beep loudly whenever locked or unlocked which isn’t great if the room is asleep). The beds have lovely big shelves with reading lights and a power point, and privacy curtains. The WiFi is decent, not consistent but generally fine. There are some very cute cats that live there, which I loved, although some may not be so keen on this. I have to say other than this, I felt generally underwhelmed/disappointed with this place, and don’t understand all the glowing reviews for it. I feel like the way it’s advertised (from their photos/online blurb they want to be seen as a chic concept hostel/workspace environment), vs. what it actually is, is quite different. Covid probably hit these guys hard which is sad, and when they opened a few years back this place probably was very modern and cool, but right now it’s pretty dirty and messy and has more of a student house vibe (after a house party…). The walls, stairs and doors everywhere are grotty, the common areas are small and dishevelled with big stains on most of the upholstery, and the small kitchen is usually in a gross state, really filthy, with a fridge too small for the amount of people staying and nowhere else to store dry food. No paper towels or anything in the toilets to dry your hands, and nowhere in the showers to put your stuff or hang your clothes properly. The toilets were the worst - two for each floor, always dirty and disgusting, some with broken toilet seats, some with locks so old and worn they jam (I had to help free someone stuck inside on one occasion). The place is run by volunteers (other travellers) who live there, and it shows - a proper staff and cleaners would probably keep the place in a much better state. The volunteers are generally lovely, one or two give off a very weird vibe though (the guy with the dreads in his beard). The location itself is OK, it’s technically in Kadikoy and there is a cool coffee shop or two and supermarket nearby, but most stuff of interest, as well as the ferry and bus terminals, are a 15/20 minute walk away. The street itself is a building site, the entire building next door is just a concrete shell with builders and drills working from 9am everyday which doesn’t make for a fun waking up experience. The vibe at the hostel is also quite dull, a mix of slightly aloof digital nomads and solo travellers, and there are also no social activities from what I could see. Overall while I wouldn’t return, I wouldn’t dissuade others from coming as it may be more to others’ tastes than mine, and wish these guys all the best. The hostel is fine for short stays, but there are probably others that are much better in Istanbul.

Fener hotel We booked this as a break from Istanbul It is 1 hour away It cost 800lira to get there from central Sultanahmet - heavy traffic took 3 hrs! It cost 550lira on the return journey What a find!! A small boutique hotel compromising of wooden chalets Located on the outskirts of the town of Sile Impeccably clean AC Fridge Good size rooms Swimming pool- large with separate small pool for children Out door kids play area Prayer facilities for Muslim travellers Roaming chickens and their chicks 100m from a local Turkish beach We were half board Breakfast- traditional Turkish breakfast made with high quality ingredients Dinner- menu in the dining area ,3 courses ,traditional Turkish food During the day you can order drinks and snacks which you pay for at the end of your stay - the prices were reasonable The highlight of this trip was the staff English was limited but they went out of their way to help and accommodate you I want to come back here again and again

The scenery along the river is very beautiful, the boss is a couple, very friendly
