Had an awsome weekend here travelling with a friend, it's a good place to meet people, really arty, great atmosphere, with a nice living room area to chill with games and kittens... Breakfast was good, and there's free tea and coffee all day. Staff are really friendly, helpful and good fun :)

This is one of the best hostels i've ever stayed in. It's not a party hostel, so if you want to do that.. maybe look elsewhere. BUT it is a very social hostel. More low key chilling on the couch, playing with the cats, sipping tea. There are cats everywhere, except in the rooms, so if you're not a cat... More

I was there with my girlfriend and it was awesome. The hostel is located in a perfect location of the city and close to all attractions. 5 minutes walk to taksim square ,and the most noisy street in istanbul, istiklal street, but you will be safe from the noises here but very close ;) ,also metro and bus stations are...

I had an awesome time here!! I stayed in Istanbul a few times before, and I started to find the Taksim area a bit overwhelming.. so this one, only a few minutes away from it, and close to the sea was perfect for me. (Lovely tea place right by sea just 2 minutes walk...sea breeze, fish & bread & good... More

This is an ideal place for travellers hoping to get their money's worth so they could focus on spendng quality time in Istanbul. You get a wholesome breakfast in the morning and get the latest music from the reception... This place is for the cool dude and dudettes that love travelling, cats, meeting new people and listening to music. Artists,... More

I stayed there two times and that's definitely the place I'd stay at again next time I go to Istanbul! It has the perfect location for me - so close to Taksim, but a lot more quieter and the Bosphorus is just a few meters down the street. Stray Cat has a lovely atmosphere - I loved the common room,...

I stayed there for a week, I have to admit that the staff are really polite and people are friendly but the room is very small, there is no air conditioner & it's not very clean. The location is good but my problem everyday was climbing up hill to taksim square...that was quite exhausting. This area is safe at night,... More

The location was great:easy to reach almost every place you want to visit. The stuff was always nice,friendly and helpful. The place is not very clean, but let's be realistic: if u have such demands (rich breakfast,perfect services ) then why don't u go to a 5* hotel ? Why do you go to Istanbul? To stay indoors or to...
