Everything went very well for me! The atmosphere was friendly ad inviting. The rooms were somewhat small, but most importantly they were clean, with A/C and had sky lights to let some natural light in! I highly recommend this hostel!

We liked the hostel very much, it was clean and comfortable. It has a perfect location, very good breakfast and the staff is really friendly. Specially Gabriela, from Ecuador, who works in the bar and is really cute and helpful. Enjoy the chef´s menu, it´s really great! Greetings from Uruguay, Alice y Alejandra

I've stayed in Hostels before and this one met my expectations. The rooms were clean and quiet. Breakfast was certainly adequete. The location is super and the nightlife right outside the front door is great fun. The dorm room is a bit tight and doesn't provide any real privacy. I was very disappointed that the roof top terrace is closed... More

Great location on a little street full of other hotels/ hostels and bars/ restaurants resulting in a full of life and full of people atmosphere for entire day, especially in the evenings. Really good, don;t necessarily have to go to Beyoglu to go out - you can have fun over here as well. Sat night we ended up dancing on... More

Perfect location, friendly staff, good clean room and reasonable price. One of the staff even loaned us his bus pass! If I have to pick on anything it would be the ensuite, a little cramped but given all the positives this was over looked in no time.

We stayed in Sultan Hostel for a week . First advantage is a great location - hostel is close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The room (dorm) was simple, but nice and very clean. Similarly, a bathroom and a toilet. The hostel is cheap, safe and surprisingly quiet considering the busy street it's on and night parties. Service... More

This hostel, most things considered, is pretty average. The price is the same as anywhere in Istanbul, and the beds are fine- nothing great, nothing awful. Pros: Good, hot, nice pressure showers, unbeatable location, free lockers, and a really nice breakfast. The Cons: downstairs dorms are dark and have a wind tunnel of coldness pummeling down from the ceiling window... More

Room was bright and airy and clean, and bathroom (which was effectively a wet room) was again spacious and clean. Good sturdy doors, so felt secure. Bar/chillout area downstairs doubles up as common room (i.e you don't need to buy anything to hang out there but if you do you get 10% discount). Nice and central, close to all major... More
