Thanks to Alper and your team. I enjoyed my stay Istanbul. Keep up with the good work & hope to come back again soon

I stayed 3 nights at the ladies dorm. Comfortable made up beds with clean sheets. Emmi gave me slippers too for my stay in the dorm. Thanks! Then I stayed 4 nights in double standard room but got upgraded to a superior room which is a very nice gesture from the hotel. Friendly & Service minded staffs and nice breakfast especially for guests staying in the dormitory which is already cheap.

Breakfast was not very continental, but an opportunity to start the day with typical food, very kind and helpful staff. We checked in late, they also booked the hammam with shuttle service included. Excellent location. I really recommend.

THE BEST HOSTEL I EVER BEEN! 10/10! TRUE!

Very nice guesthouse, perfect location in the beautiful and cozy historical Istanbul area. Breakfast is always fresh and on time. The staff is very kind, always listen and help and do everything so you feel welcomed and well served. Especially I want to mention Arzu, Farouk and Seva, Isuf - they always ready for an extra mile in service, always smile and very very kind and welcoming. Definitely will come back. Best regards, Aslan.

Amazing stay that kept me close to the main attractions and well connected to the public transportation system.

Very clean and organized, best location right on the corner of main attractions such as the Blue Mosque, nice breakfast included, friendly and helpful staff who helps with questions about the city (also the kitchen staff was especially always very friendly at breakfast!), and spacious and clean bathrooms and toilets.

I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse in Istanbul. The facilities were excellent, the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect for visiting the city’s most important sights. The breakfast was outstanding, with a huge variety of delicious options every morning. But what truly made this place special were the people. Everyone was incredibly kind, personable, and welcoming. Their hospitality made me feel at home from the moment we arrived. Good value for the money. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!
