    Hello!! The Big Apple Hostel and Hotel is 5 mins walk from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia which is in very touristic place called Sulthanahmet in Istanbul had wonderful experience being in hostel felt like home because the Staff Murat, Mohmmed , Gulshan , Ahmet out there is educated, helpful, very friendly and Mr. Daniel is the senior most staff who take cares like big brother, they behave like a family which gives you good vibes add value to your wonderful trip.

I really felt like home and i had a wonderful experience in Big Apple Hostel and Hotel. Thank you. ARMAAN PREM. from India.
