Dirty, not maintained, poor condition and service.
Dirty, bad service, hot, no AC. It’s a hostel so no amenities, no cleaning items, nothing. The terrace shown in the picture is not available for that use. There are few tables, not cleaned, no light available, not clean….

Gets the job done, but nothing special.
It's a very basic hostel, it's not much but you get what you paid for. Pros: Nearby to sights. Easy to get to airport via bus. Great views from roof. Friendly staff. Cons: Bathrooms are not clean and smell horrible. Rooms are cramped and stuffy.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmed
I stayed 4 nights with my wife, is an excellently located hostel with free good wifi, turkish breakfast, near restaurants, shops and, most important, the 2 principal attractions: Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque It’s a warm place, clean and with awesome staff, every one of them is happy to help The only problem is that is noisy (or maybe the other guests were) and does not has an elevator If I return to Turkey, I’d definitely stay there again

The staff was really friendly and helpful. Karim even booked our bus trip on his credit card--he definitely went above and beyond. Our downstairs courtyard looked out into the fire escape and the outside space was shared with the next door restaurant, which made our room smell like grease.

Very accomodating
The staffs are so very accommodating and friendly. They will advise you about your safety travelling around the city, which I found so thoughtful. There's a 10% discount on food and drinks that you order in the restaurant underneath the hostel, which is great, oh plus the 20% off on drinks on happy hour!!!. The service of the waiter 'Mehmet' is so high standard, he will attend to your needs and so very polite. He's so hardworking I must say, so bravo to you my bro Mehmet!

Very near to tourist attraction. Very nice and helpful staff. Room and breakfast are good, only the size of the room (we stay in triple bed room) is quite small. However, overall is excellent.

The hotel is really close to the main attractions in Istanbul. Just a 3 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and the place you catch the Big Bus. The breakfast is really good.

Perfect for a short stay in the heart of Istanbul
Small room but very comfortable beds & pillows; quiet. Shared bathroom was right across the hall & we never had to wait for it. There is a terrace on the roof with wonderful views (the mosques, the Bosporus...) & tables to sit at. The included breakfast was in the restaurant next door & was the best breakfast we had on our 10-day trip which included Italy. The room has lockers so you can safely lock up your valuables but we didn't feel the need to do so. You are less than 5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and less than 10 minutes walk to Ayasofia & the Cistern. It was challenging to find from the Metro/tram we took from the airport to Sultanamhet stop, but very convenient. Great stores & restaurants all around the hostel. Next door's restaurant gives you a 10% discount on dinner. The hostel staff was very helpful, spoke English for us, & gave us a good map & directions; they let us store our luggage with them after checkout while we toured before heading back to the airport. Our family of 4 only had 24 hours & this was the way to get a good sleep, big breakfast, & see the highlights!

Memnuniyetimiz hakkında
Otelde 18 kişi konakladık. Otel hizmetlerini ve otel çalışanları tutumunu çok beğendik. İstanbul maratonu için istanbul daydık ve koşu öncesi söz verdirdiği gibi kahvaltıyı 06:00-06:30 arası hazırladı ve problem yaşamadan maraton transfer otobüslerine yetiştik. Bundan sonraki koşularda ilk tercihimiz bu otel olacak. İlgi ve hassasiyet için teşekkürler

Buen hotel para viajeros
El personal increíble, muy amables y te ayudan, cambie 1 de las habitaciones en mi entrada ya q las 2 habitaciones q reservé no tenían baño privado y pague por ello 50€ de más, las escaleras no son muy cómodas para personas mayores ya q son altas, estrechas y en espiral, en toda la semana en las 2 habitaciones no entraron a limpiar y nosotros cambiábamos las sábanas y toallas, salvo esto las vistas de las terrazas espectaculares de la ciudad y Sultanahmet, la mejor zona de todo el centro ya todo esta muy muy cerca, en una semana solo cogimos el transporte 1 vez, gestionaron el transporte del aeropuerto al hotel y la vuelta y muy cómodo, el desayuno me gustó mucho, aunque algún dulce faltaría pero igualmente muy bueno, el personal lo mejor, muy amables, simpáticos y atentos.

Bastante bueno!
El hotel es bastante lindo, tiene su propio restaurante y una terraza increíble, me quede en una habitación privada con baño y estuvo vatsante bien, cómoda y limpia, el acceso a las habitaciones no es muy cómodo ya que son grandes escalones en un pasillo muy estrello, así que no lo recomiendo para personas de edad o personas con discapacidad. Por todo lo demás estuvo muy bien la estadía, la ubicación es estupenda, a solo unos pasos de el bazar y a unas cuantas cuadras de la mesquita! Todo estaba limpio y la atención fue buena, sin embargo el desayuno podría mejorar, tiene poca variedad, unas cuantas verduras, pan y cereal! No obstante volvería a hospedarme ahí, muy buena relación precio/ beneficio

No recomendable - avoid if possible!!
Nos alojamos en una doble con baño privado. La habitación que nos tocó estaba totalmente improvisada, no es como se ve en las fotos.Las paredes parecían de cartón y se escuchaba absolutamente todo. El olor a cloaca que había en la habitación era nauseabundo y acumulaban bolsas de basura justo en la entra de nuestro cuarto, por lo tanto el aspecto no era el mas limpio. En el baño, la ducha estaba mal sellada y el agua se salia para afuera. La ultima noche cortaron el agua en todo el barrio (con previo aviso) pero a los huéspedes nos avisaron cuando ya estaba cortada. Nos pareció bastante mal que en la recepción ni siquiera nos ofrecieran una botella de agua de cortesía o algo aunque sea para lavarnos los dientes y la cara, muy mal preparados en ese aspecto. El desayuno básico turco pero bueno Lo mejor fue la cama, la calefacción que prendían en la noche, el wifi y la ubicacion Si desean quedarse en Sultanahmet, hay cantidades de hoteles y hostels que deben ser mucho mejor que este!!

Nobel hostel es excelente, el personal es muy amable siempre dispuesto a ayudar, la localizacion es perfecta a minutos de la Mezquita Azul, Santa Sofía y del transporte público. Al lado cuenta con un acogedor restaurante de buena calidad y precios modicos que ademas por estar hospedado en el hostel te ofrece un 15% de descuento. Totalmente recomendable!

Les chambres, ainsi que les espaces communs sont très propres, et la terrasse de toit, confortable, nous offre une vue magnifique sur la mosquée bleue et l'entrée du Bosphore. Aucuns défauts ne sont à signaler.

Storby ferie
Hotellet levede op til rigtig mange af vores forventninger. vi havde booket værelse med eget bad, selv om vi havde valgt værelse med bad på gangen var standarten her også fin. Hotel personalets Engelsk var rigtig godt, og de ringede gerne og bookede aktiviteter til os. - De eneste anmærkninger var der på værelset kun var 1 "dyne" af en brede på 140 cm. godt nok er vi ægtefolk men det var ikke lige helt stort nok, sagt til hotellets forsvare vi efter lyste ikke en dyne nummer 2. Morgenbuffen havde kun Te og Kaffe af drikke vare. kunne godt have brugt noget juise. - Hotellet får vores anbefalinger.
