We stayed in Sultan Hostel for a week . First advantage is a great location - hostel is close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The room (dorm) was simple, but nice and very clean. Similarly, a bathroom and a toilet. The hostel is cheap, safe and surprisingly quiet considering the busy street it's on and night parties. Service... More

This hostel, most things considered, is pretty average. The price is the same as anywhere in Istanbul, and the beds are fine- nothing great, nothing awful. Pros: Good, hot, nice pressure showers, unbeatable location, free lockers, and a really nice breakfast. The Cons: downstairs dorms are dark and have a wind tunnel of coldness pummeling down from the ceiling window... More

Room was bright and airy and clean, and bathroom (which was effectively a wet room) was again spacious and clean. Good sturdy doors, so felt secure. Bar/chillout area downstairs doubles up as common room (i.e you don't need to buy anything to hang out there but if you do you get 10% discount). Nice and central, close to all major... More

Great location with warm friendly staff. Room was a dorm with 5 other and included an ensuite. It was clean and comfortable. It is a party location so it's important to remember there will be some noise however it was not to loud and did not go on all night. Meals were very tasty. Would recommend it to anyone looking...

We stayed in a top floor double room, which was not the best available, but was secure and quiet which suited our requirements fine. The key highlight for the hostel is the location, with value a close second, however the staff are very dedicated to cleanliness and humour, especially the bar manager Gabriella and the reception manager Aytaj.

Convenient location to main attractions in Istanbul. Rooms are clean, well kept, but very simple. Bunks with pillows and thin blanket. Free lockers for your convenience. Free breakfast if you are awake early.

We booked a room for three persons with own bath and got a really good accomodation near Hagia Sophia in a street with many restaurants and bars. The hostel was clean, staff was friendly. The breakfast was o.k., you get free tea and coffee until 3 pm. Negative was the slow WiFi and the toilet flushes which do not work... More

If you search for a great location to stay in the center of Istanbul, then I can really recommend this hostel to you. It's not only very close to the main attractions like Haga Sophia, Blue Mosque, Tolcapi Palace, Hippodrom, etc. (all to reach within 5 minutes by foot) but it is also well connected to their public transport system....

This hostel has a great location it is very near to the blue mosque! The prices in dorms are quite good considering that. Also, the breakfast was nice. The bad thing of this hostel is that it lacks a common area to hang out, meet travellers or read a book. Also, the beds were in a pretty bad shape. The... More
