The 10 best Hostels hotel in Istanbul, Turkey

June 9, 2023 Sheron Bogner

A social and geographic confluence where East and West, North and South, religious and secular, ancient and modern all converge in kaleidoscopic display, Istanbul is as vibrant an urban destination as you’ll ever visit on earth. Whatever strikes your fancy, chances are it’s done with vigor in this mega city that’s too expansive – and cultured – to settle upon only one continent to call its home.

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.

An awesome location in the heart of Istanbul

Reviewed By Hasan-8_666

Such an amazing, wonderful and fascinating location in the heart of Istanbul. All the most hot attractions are just a few steps walk . Sea on the east, Topkapi palace in north, hagia sofia and blue mosque in north and the markets and restaurants just behind the location makes the property an amazing place to stay, chill and enjoy. Secondly the staff is very very friendly and cooperative. My a week there was like I’m staying in my home .

Reviewed By minasaltay

I wanted to stay at a hostel so I booked this. It’s close to Taksim Metro station within 5-10 min. walk. - which is important for me. And also 10-15 minutes to Taksim Square. The hostel it self is not huge. It doesn’t also have elevator, so you have to carry on your own luggage. The receptionist Gönül is very kind and helpful, and tried to help me to connect my HES code to Taksim card. But I was messing with us, so Tugba (I think she’s a cleaning lady) she was sooo sweet and borrowed me her own Taksim Card. (But I forgot to give it back??‍♀️). You can ask anything and they will help you. They are smiling and kind and it made me feel welcome and safe. Side note: So guys make sure to get your HES code before travel, cus travel around in Istanbul with Istanbul Card is much CHEAPER than one way ticket. And also to “check in” when shopping in the malls. (I seriously don’t know why it doesn’t makes sense, cus no other places as restaurants or any place don’t demand you to show the HES code) Back to hostel: I stayed at lady rooms. It was small. And also warm, you can’t regulate the warm but have to tell the reception so they can regulate it. So don’t be shy… they are willing to help. We had the shower inside our room, and toilet outside the room but next to us. It’s all small so don’t except big. I ate out all the time so I didn’t used the kitchen. The reason I specifically chose this was because it had curtains so I could have space for my self. I would definitely come back again. ??

Our Stay at Bonne Sante Hotel Istanbul

Reviewed By Jenny V

We stayed at the Bonne Sante hotel from 3rd to 10th May 2022. The hotel itself is located on the shopping area of Istikalal Street so it’s a very convenient area with lots of restaurants. The big minus point of this hotel is that there are steep stairs to go up to the hotel lobby. We did not know about the stairs as it was not specified by Bonne Sante that there were stairs leading to the lobby. I have walking difficulties and getting up and down the stairs 2 to 3 times a day was a nightmare. Bonne Sante should have put a notice on their social media page and with booking.com that there were stairs leading to the lobby. The staff were excellent especially Serhat who did everything to keep us comfortable. Some of the staff cannot speak English but they were kind and helpful. The breakfast was included in the price but the breakfast was a letdown. Better if they didn’t give us breakfast. We went out for breakfast everyday as the breakfast at Bonne Sante was bad. Also there is a lot of noise on the streets late at night so be prepared not to sleep as there is screaming and singing and drum beating all night, Even though the location is superb, the fact that this hotel has stairs leading up to the lobby is no good for disabled people and those who have walking difficulties like myself. Unfortunately we wouldn’t stay in this hotel again when we next visit Istanbul. The cleanliness of this hotel is super. The staff are very kind and helpful but the management should improve the quality of the breakfast and also mention tyat this hotel is not suited for disability people.
