10 Top-Rated Hostels hotel in Turkey

May 4, 2023 Marianna Hollaway

Risen from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey is a land of cities and countryside, of ancient ruins and contemporary culture. Splash around the mud baths of Dalyan or scramble around the volcanic rock of Goreme. Visiting gorgeous Istanbul, of course, is a no-brainer. Whatever you do, don’t ever, ever skip coffee and desserts: enjoying flowery Turkish Delight and achingly flaky baklava is like a vacation for your taste buds.

White Garden Pansion

Kaleici houses reflect the peerless beauty of Turkish architecture. The White Garden Pansion is an example of the architectural style of the 'Kaleici' with 15 rooms and 30 beds. All rooms have private bathrooms with water heated by solar energy and direct telephone lines. The Pansiyon features The White Garden bar and restaurant and a roof terrace. From the terrace you can see the beauty of the Toros Mountains and the Mediterranean Ocean.

Excellent Pansion in the Old Quarter

Reviewed By AngelaM6451

The BEST place to stay in Kaleiçi (old quarter), Antalya. This family-run pansion offers service like that of a five-star hotel, the historic Ottoman building is beautiful (be sure to enjoy the views from the rooftop terrace), and the included breakfast is one of the best and largest in Türkiye. At White Garden, you are only a few steps from the sea, from historic architecture like Hadrian’s Gate and Hidirlik Tower, or from the shopping, trolley, and nightlife on Atatürk Road. Despite its central old town location, White Garden provides a quiet, comfortable, clean oasis. Guests who need a break from the city can relax in the beautiful swimming pool, read a book in the quiet, cool central sitting room, or enjoy a quiet nap in the comfortable rooms. And the family and staff go above and beyond. After discussing transportation options to my next destination, the owners arranged with me to drive me in their personal vehicle to the next city on my itinerary, which was several hours away. I can’t imagine finding that sort of personal service anywhere else, and I enjoyed a fantastic and fun cultural experience during the impromptu road trip along the Turquoise Coast. For those who speak no Turkish, or only limited Turkish, this pansion is an excellent choice, as the hosts are happy to converse fluently in English. White Garden is something special in Antalya. It’s well worth a visit.

This is my first time in Istanbul and it couldn't have started better. The location is perfectly situated to take in the cultural sights of Istanbul, such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. But also shopping possibilities like the Grand Bazaar or the Spice Market were within walking distance. If you had any questions, the staff was always there for you. Murat, Sinan, Amir and Jay are absolutely nice people who you can quickly take to your heart and who put a smile on your face every day. Every evening there is another event organized by the hostel, where the guests get together and have fun. You get to know people so quickly here and simply spend very nice evenings together with exciting conversations and interesting personalities. But at the same time, you can also retreat here and enjoy the time with yourself. In addition, the breakfast was also very tasty with a very awesome view and the rooms were very clean.

A Travellers Dream

Highly recommended hotel

Reviewed By idy2022

My family and I highly recommend this hotel. The staffs (Sinan & Sayed) response in replying WhatsApp is quick and really helpful to assist in arranging tours and answering my questions. The breakfast is wonderful and feels home cooked despite limited choices that we never felt bored in the 3 nights we stayed here. We loved their fresh tomatoes and vegetables that I wish I could bring home some! Try also their made to order omelettes which are extra delicious. Wifi was fast - my wife loved it as she did not have the Turkish sim card. We had the family room for our family of five. The location was also about 400 meters radius from nearby restaurants. We loved our time in this region staying in this hotel.

Cute spot with super friendly staff

Reviewed By Therewasaboy

I came here in desperation after a not so good hostel stay at another place the night before, so I really needed a win. I even had problems with booking online and just popped over in hope that they could still accommodate me. They were understandably confused but were able to get me my own room (what I wanted) and served me tea while we got situated. Breakfast was solid, the layered terraces were great, especially the top sitting area, and the staff were always helping in any way they could. I even checked out and was able to leave my stuff all day (they watched over it) and when I returned and had to wait until mu midnight bus, Özcan made conversation with me and gave me tea. Honestly, all 3 staff I met were awesome. Overall, I say a great spot for a solid price ??
