    “Can be improved”

    During my stay, I faced several challenges that impacted my experience. Hot water was available only in the shower but not in the bathroom sink. Additionally, the single stay room lacked storage space—there were no shelves, only hangers, which made organizing my belongings difficult. Another issue was noise insulation. The doors did not effectively block sound, so from midnight until early morning, I could hear disturbances from the corridor and other rooms. Cleanliness across the facilities also required more attention, as it did not meet expected standards. Additionally, during fasting hours, I hoped for more flexibility regarding meal options. Despite being in a Muslim country, there was no proper arrangement to replace the breakfast charges with an alternative. While I was charged for breakfast, no compensation or support was provided. Overall, these factors made my stay less comfortable than anticipated.

    “Good for budget”

    Location not good for travellers with luggage. You need taxi to reach the hostel and you will have stairs to enter the room. If you are on a budget it’s okay with backpacking. Location close to hagia sopia, but need to walk like hardly. Breakfast good but already served in one plate. I stayed 2 days but the breakfast is not changed. So I don’t recommend to book breakfast. The room is clean and smells great. But don’t expect too much with the service such as reception, just a simple hospitality.

    “Good stay”

    Good location in Sultanahmet, bed is clean and staff is friendly. The cons are wifi kept disconnecting in the room, very slow too and the bed making noises whenever someone is moving (either on lower or top bed)

    6 Bed Mixed Dorm Room With Shared Bathroom

    “Good lodgings”

    I stayed here during Ramadan in a 6 bed room. It was full but the other travellers minded to themselves. There was only 1 toilet and shower on my floor but I never once had to wait for either one. The rec room is quaint and I was the only one really using it from time to time. The hostel itself wasn’t locked up but Istanbul feels like a very safe city. There were no lockers just a baggage room on the ground floor which wasn’t locked. The toilet and shower were both good. Hot water always and strong shower head. The only negative I have to say is that the Istanbul’s public transport while extensive, it a really spaghetti knot of different lines that aren’t easy to traverse especially of you have a lot of luggage (there’s so many steps, the metros are many levels underground). Anyway it would be nice if it were located on the M-lines which are train lines. Sultan requires you to take a tram. Which is fine since it uses the same Istanbul card but in Ramadan the trams are packed like sardines. If you don’t mind the extra transfer on the tram it is a good transport location close to Sirkeci and close to the grand bazaar.

    “Near the station, near the mosque.”

    It is a 3-minute walk from Cankurtaran station. As I walked up the hill, two men called out to me and kindly told me about a hotel. The price was low, the room was warm, and I was very satisfied with the hot shower. The breakfast bread was very delicious. There were only two of us in the four-person dorm, so I was able to sleep quietly. I felt like I would be happy to return.
