This hostel is situated in Sultanahmet in a quiet street, but in a few moments you will meet a really joyful street, full of restaurants and cafè. The hostel is a few steps from all the main tourist attractions: Saint Sofia, Basilic Cistern, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, etc. Topdeck has many kind of rooms: big for a lot of people... More

A young Aussie/Turkish couple, Emmy and Metin run this place. Very much on the ball. Breakfast is served on the roof with a view to die for. Spotlessley clean. Stayed there late May 2011 and was very impressed. Emmy particularly is very efficient/calm. Her and her partner (soon-to-be-husband) I wish all the best. Topdeck Cafe has accommodation too but is...

This is a hostel that has some more upscale rooms too. I stayed in a very comfortable room with a double bed and a view over the Sea of Marmara. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was served up on the roof terrace overlooking the sea. All in all, a good budget choice and preferable to many... More

Top Deck was the best hostel my wife and I stayed at in 3 months of travel through Europe!

Cabs have a hard to find it, so make sure you have their phone numbers handy. It's about 40 Turkish Lira to get from Airport. About 3 of 4 people working there speak English fluently. Everyone...

The Topdeck is located deep in Sultanahmet on a quiet side street but not far from a busy tourist area. The reception area was small and uninviting and the narrow winding stairs to the rooms seemed poorly lit, but then sensors turned lights on as needed. Our well-lit room was clean with a polished wooden floor and hooks for our... More

Our room was quite small and poky, but clean. The hostel is on a quiet street just off the main tourist strip in Sultanahmet, and while we were there it had two travellers on staff who were friendly and had useful info about sightseeing and eating options. The breakfast was good (eggs/cereal/french toast), included in the rate, and was served... More
