Chillout Cengo

This is a great hostel. Although I only stayed here for 2 nights, I like it. Very warm and nice staff, like friends. Pretty good location which is just a few minutes to the most prosperous street in central Istanbul. A lot of young travelers coming here and having fun. I do will come back if I visit Istanbul again. It will be a very good choice. ... more

Orient Hostel

Great staff. Great location. We booked outgoing bus tickets through them and they gave us the exact same price as we found online, and they made sure we made it onto the shuttle to the station. Rooftop Patio is the best in the area and amazing for sunsets. Only critique would be the lack of a fan in out room. ... more
