4 stars for a hostel, if this were an actual hotel w/ hotel prices I'd revise lower. The major selling point is the rooftop view right below the Blue Mosque and the distance on foot to the major attractions and restaurants. A girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights in a triple ensuite and had no complaints beyond the narrow... More

I rented a double room and it was very clean and cosy! The location however is the best side of this hostel. 1 min away from the blue mosque and Hagia Sofia made our life so much easier! The tram is also just 5min away and I would recommend to cross to the Asia side on the Tram...it's only 2Turkish... More

In the center of Istanbul, close to the train station and the main attractions. This hostel is clean and calm. The view from the deck terrace and from the dorm is incredible! The staff is helpful and friendly. More

On this trip we stayed at several hostels in Istanbul and indeed, this one has been the best in value for money, which, rather than mean the hostel itself is ok, it means that the quality of the hostel in Istanbul, is not so good . The hostel is better than well located, within a very short walking distance of... More

Hostel is located in the very center of Istanbul near Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Indeed from the deck terrace you can almost reach the Blue Mosque. I stayed in the hostel in February so it was quite cold outside. The same was inside. Without complaining we had a guy comming up stairs and "repairing" the radiator. Unfortunatey it... More

I would not recommend staying at this hostel. They get you to pay up-front before you see the room becase you would otherwise leave the hostel! The rooms are in very bad condition - old, poorly furnished, and the walls are covered with mould. The mould is bubbling the paint out from the walls. Water damage is very noticable throughout...

I had a very pleasant stay at Nobel Hotel. It provided great value for money. The location is excellent; a very short walk to the tram station and very close to Sultanahmet area and most other touristic areas. Nice uphill walk from the see side and the fish market. The room was bigger than expected, well renovated. We faced a... More

the staff is quite nice but the hotel is really ugly even if the position is fantastic. It's overpriced Here's a list: - the bed was too little for 2 people - the room was cold and dirt - they didn't change towels if we don't complain each day - there is no efficient heating system and it is imposible...

My friend and I stayed here for 9 days...a looong time so we were hoping for a nice place to stay on a budget. We had a private room with our own bathroom; however, it was really old and dirty with stained sheets and matress. The ceiling was cracking and pieces of it were falling on to our dingy carpet....

The hostel was difficult to find on the first day but is actually quite central to restaurants and sights. The shared showers were awkward with few functioning hooks to hang things. The breakfasts were very simple. The rooftop view was fantastic. The windows would close but would not lock. My friends got itchy when we stayed there. The service could... More
