On our 2nd trip to Istanbul me and my wife stayed at the World House Istanbul since we wanted to stay closer to Taksim. We found the hostel by walking around the area and it was definitely a good choice. The hostel is pretty busy at all times (like Taksim itself) yet the staff was quite friendly and even when... More

Great experience over there. Beds and bedrooms are clean, people are nice and that is the kind of places which offers what backpackers love the most : flexibility. There is someone to welcome you regardless the time of the day, always helping. Located just near Galata Tower, World House Hostel is ideally situated in Beyoglu. We've made everything by walking...

We loved our time at World House! This was the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in. Simple airy rooms with very clean bathrooms/showers. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Not only in giving us ideas and directions on things to do in Istanbul but they also helped us figure out where to go next. Do your self a favor... More

The location is perfect: 2 minutes from Galata tower, 2 minutes from Taksim bars and restaurants, 5 minutes to the bridge, the metro is near. Couldn't be better in terms of location. The stuff was amazingly nice and helpful. The rooms are being cleaned on a daily basis. Very clean bathroom as well. The breakfast is simple yet fresh and... More

This place was pretty reasonably priced and is located close to the start of Istiklal street which is great for a night out. They only draw back is that it is up a steep hill so not a journey you want to make more than twice a day. We stayed in a 6 bed dorm on the top floor which... More

I stayed here for one night before the Istanbul marathon. The front desk is very helpful and security features at the door are comforting (the doors use codes). Rooms were very clean and inexpensive, the beds were comfortable, and the lounge area is welcoming. There is also a cafe attached which is a great addition, and of course the location... More

We only stayed here for one night, but the receptionist was very friendly and gave us great advice on restaurants and bars. The location is perfect, the rooms were clean, and there were a lot of people always just hanging out. Great vibe here. Would recommend!!!
