Guest Reviews
- Bangquillo (10/5): -
- Sanyi (2/5): Félrevezető információk - Egy jó dolog van a szállással kapcsolatban, hogy jó helyen van. A Booking.com részletes információi szerint a kifizetett ár tartalmazta a reggelit. Másnap reggel ért a meglepetés, amikor rákérdeztem, hogy mettől meddig van a reggeli, aztán a hölgy nevetve annyit mondott, hogy itt nincs reggeli. Aztán tényleg nem is volt. A Booking.com felé panasszal éltem de erre nem jött semmi válasz, csak annyi, hogy sajnálják, hogy nem volt reggeli. Ugyanennyiért tavaly pazar helyen voltam és még az internet is stabil volt, nem úgy mint itt. A hat napból két napig volt...
- Bayati (6/5): It’s mainly for college students / Not for tourists - I stayed in a single bed room with a private bath The staff don’t talk English was a hard time to comunícate
The bed sheet/ pillow sheet wasn’t very clean
The bathroom need to be remodeled
- Israr (5/5): Passable -
- Mahtab (10/5): Exceptional -

- Vahid (6/5): Pleasant -
- Oscar (8/5): Very good - Good place easy for they and facilities.... Not supposed to understand english very well, I had translated all but not important
- Karina (8/5): Very good - For this price is good place to stay few nights. They have a simple breakfast, but it’s fresh and delicious. Simple room, good location, very friendly personal. A little bit old stuff there, bathroom wasn’t clean for me, but it is student’s place, so didn’t have a bid expectations
- Denys (8/5): Very good - Really hot inside
- Ajda (1/5): Bad - I told the accomodation that i have a flight and that I will come to the hostel around 1 am. My flight was delayed and I came there at 3 am. There was noone there, the hostel was closed. :(((((
- Rahim (7/5): Good -
- Peter (7/5): Good -
- Barwari (8/5): Very good -
- Zhihao (9/5): good enough - Personnels were friendly and helpful. I was to leave at midnight, they helped gladly.
The location is excellent, for I needed to take bus to the airport at midnight, only a few minutes by foot to get to the bus stop. Also, many restaurants nearby, no worry for a meat. No.
- Nica (2/5): The location - The location I can tolerate the room is small, the toilet is moldy, the room is stuffy, the toilet flush is not working, the bedsheet is smelly, there are buds in the room but I can’t tolerate the aircon and lift is broken 😕
- Yasir (8/5): Very good -
- Nugzari (10/5): Exceptional - Staff and breakfast, also location, and some guests.
- Ahmad (7/5): Good - Location, staff the cleaning was weekly one time

- Brenda (9/5): Quiet hotel off side street - Small hotel in the centre of sultanahmet. Quiet location with no traffic noise. Close to major sites and metro links. Good breakfast. Friendly staff a bonus. Spent 3 nights here and will definitely come back. Nothing.
- Rafaela (9/5): Superb - The location is great. Super close to the metro, buses… There are restaurants, supermarkets, a mall and you can do a lot of things by walking. The breakfast was super nice. I really enjoy the experience. If you want a fancy place, it is not for you. But if you want a welcoming place and with great atmosphere, that’s the place. The price I paid was perfect for the experience. I really recommended it!

- Abdul (4/5): Disappointing -
- Raiymbek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Very good for the price/quality
- Pavlo (8/5): Good and simple option to stay in Istanbul center. - Well this is basically a male dormitory, with all stuff like tourniquet control etc. But you can rent a whole room, not expensive. Everything is clean. Nice lady at the réception.
Close to Aksaray station, i.e. to subway, tram, buses, airport shuttle. You can find everything in the neighbourhood.
You can walk 20-30 minutes to all main attractions in Istanbul (like Aya Sofia etc.). Staff does not speak english so i recommend at least print your réservation in turkish (booking allows that). Use google translate to communicate.
Room is closed on a simple key, so consider it.
Neighbourhood is quite noisy in the night.
- Ansar (7/5): Nice and clean location to stay in low budget - The Location was good. Almost all are good, but the night duty guy is always speak with sarcastic way, be professional man
- Amiri (1/5): Bad -
- Jabr (1/5): breakfast is small and unsatisfying, the dishes are unclean, staff members are extremely unhelpful - The breakfast is small and unsatisfying, the dishes are unclean, in addition to the noise in the area and the lack of cleanliness. The staff members are extremely unhelpful and uncooperative, and their attitude is very poor,I strongly advise against staying at this place.

- Kakiclod (10/5): Exceptional - heartwarming welcome
the cleanliness
- Craig (8/5): Cheap accommodation! - Location to metro station, plenty of eateries. Cheap as chips.Able to get in late ! It was fine!
- Tahir (10/5): Awesome stay - Breakfast is so good, the lady who's in kitchen she's so nice and everyone i met in this place are so nice and ready to help
So happy to stay if I visit again i will definitely stay here
Thank you so much IDA Istanbul 😊 Almost nothing
- Kakiclod (10/5): Exceptional - The reception was beautiful clean
It was awesome
This is my favorite hotel in Istanbul every time I come
- Jan (8/5): Very good -
- Mochileroo (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay. It's university student housing, and they rent out individual beds during the summer. Beds are really comfortable, and I liked that the room had couches and a space for working/studying. AC worked great!! ILocation seems so be a largely immigrant neighborhood, with many well-priced restraunts from all over the Arab world. Quick tram ride to Sultanhamet, or a few subway stops to Taksim. Rooftop has a nice view. Staff spoke no English at all, but Google translate or calling the English-speaking owner was usually sufficient. Not all beds had plugs.
- Jan (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (2/5): 0 if it’s up to me - I booked a single room but they sent me to. Room of 2 people and they woke me up at 9am to ask me when will i leave :))))… Wow.. Hospitality..
- Priya (7/5): not a hostel but a student shared living place. close to public transport but not the best location - private room, nice old guy checked us in although he had no idea we were turning up he tried his best to get us into a room. dirty on arrival so they moved us to another room which was cleaner. no toilet paper, there was a Russian woman that demanded our passports randomly on our second day at the property, no hello or explanation. must be in the property by 11pm or midnight.
- Yusuf (8/5): Güzel - Bence güzeldi tavsiye ederim arkadaş ortamı ile gitmlerini
- Humayun (5/5): Passable -
- Kris (7/5): Good - It's a cheap room close to metro. I booked a dorm and they gave me the room to myself. It's clean and comfortable. It's very quiet there is hardly anyone around. I'm guessing it's a student halls building they rent out during holidays. Look don't expect any frills here. It's not a proper hostel just a room. Staff don't speak English , the kitchen is just a kettle fridge and microwave. There is no toilet roll even
But for the price it's a bargain and you can purchase these items at small extra cost. I still recommend despite the shortcomings. If you want a social place this is not it.
- Մարտին (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maryam (2/5): Very poor - No toilet paper,very tight rooms,
- Martin (6/5): Pleasant - It is close to the tram that goes to the city centre. The staff doesnt speak english.
