    A nightmare hostel/guesthouse to experience in Istanbul.

    First, don't rely on their early chick-in promises. For a few hours early, they charge you for a full day. The management and staff are unprofessional and rude, very poor customer service. Their kitchen and patio shut down by the municipality (according to their neighbor), only pre prepaired breakfast, which is very simple and limited, is served (if you go for coffee refill or a piece of bread staff show attitude). The heating system doesn't work properly and is noisy. No napkins and toilet papers in the washroom for days, and staff don't care. The toilet is broken. Not even drinking water available in the building, you have to purchase your water from outside. I don't recommend this junk hostel for tourists. It might be suitable for local residents. After leaving this place, for almost the same rate, I found a very good hostel with perfect customer service and facilities.

    Nothing in this junk place, a nightmare, and a waste of money.

    I am a solo female traveller, and have been in many countries, but really I had never such bad experience than before. 1. I have already made a special request that I will be late, so it's my humble request to keep my food(breakfast) so I was coming after long, 18 hours travelling, 2. When I reached the hostel, the guy gave me the room on the first floor. He did not even bother to take my bag . He was just sitting and looking at me, when I requested him , kindly can you take my bag on the first floor???? He said, "No, Sorry. You do it yourself. After 18 hours of travelling, I was so tired and wasn't expecting this blunt reply. 3. When I asked him that, I had requested to keep my food . He said No, sorry, no food. Restaurants are open outside, and you can get food from there. But if you need boiled water , I can give it to you. I said OK thanks," and was dragging my heavy suitcase on the stairs. And still, he was looking without any help. By the way , who will come again here with this attitude. Never me. I was not expecting only boil water to welcome. Hardly it took a minute to a man to take the suitcase upstairs. Anyways, while going back, I handle myself. His facial expressions were like... I made a mistake in booking this property.

    The location was OK. The local bus will take you from the airport till the point, and the hostel will be almost 7 km away from there.. so you need taxi from there to hostel. Try to avoid your midnight flights . To avoid the taxi , getting triple extra Dollars 💸 .

    -thin walls means it was noisy -bathroom was combined shower with toilet, which means everything was always wet -room was in the 3rd or 4th floor but there was no elevator -area is extremely touristy and overpriced (restaurants, shops)

    -24 hour reception -clean -baggage storage possible after checkout -close to blue mosque, hagia sophia and the palace

    Hm.. the wi-fi could be better. But if you go downstars then it's fine. Facilities?? What do you need? It's a hostel and you will be out most of the day. I think they have what I need.

    The staff. They can make a big difference for my stay. They are very helpful and english-speaking. It's so easy to live her. I like that the breakfast are included so I don't have to go anywhere to find it. There are a few work-spaces downstars for digital nomades to! Beds are super. I love them. Warm and cold water!! Very nice area.

    Sultan Hostel and Guesthouse is the best place tp stay in Istanbul. All the staff members and the owner are amazing and super friendly. They make you feel you are at home. The hostel is well centered in an excellent location near the tramway. I would to write a special thank you to Murad and Hayrettin.

    only the location was good. they accommodate ky luggage after check out. but there was note ‘its not our responsibility/security’

    Probably the breakfast part could be improved a little but then again in this much price is great.

    The best place in istanbul, Mr.Ahmet was really nice, hospitable and sweet. The place is really well managed, clean, and neat tidy. For all the solo travellers and even families out there, this place is highly recommended with the great location near to aya sofia and blue mosque. Keep it up Sultan Hostel!

    I checked in, chose a bed, and went for a walk. When I arrived back, I found someone sleeping in my bed. My bag was at reception and the receptionist said my booking expired. I had to fight for a bed to stay for the night. Worst hostel experience in my whole life. Rude guys, cannot recommend.

    There was no soap or paper towels at some of the bathrooms. Sometimes the showers were kinda dirty. The guy at the reception was kind of rude but that doesn’t apply to everyone that works there. Some were extremely helpful. The room where you are supposed to put your baggage is always open and anyone can just enter the hostel and take your stuff. The room was very smelly especially with other 5 men that we’re staying there.

    The location and price is good.
