The bar downstairs and the bar staff were awesome. Worth going just for that! The bar is a bit noisy when you're trying to sleep but easy enough to tune out to.

Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, they really went the extra mile to ensure our stay was amazing. The atmosphere in the bar in the evenings is wonderful with great music, cocktails and nargile. The rooms are new and clean.

I stayed in a private room which was warm, nice and clean. All staff are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is very good for make friends to new people and a couple of drink plus you can enjoy live football matches. Food at the cafe is nice too. I had Kofte and it was very nice. Location is very good for a city tours. The perfect view of the sea while you have breakfast. I would stay here again if i come back to Istanbul.

I had an excellent experience here Orient Hostel. First, I booked here just because of the cheap cost and convenience location, But the staff were all frienfly and awesome !! Thanks for their hospitality, I could spend time very comfortably. Especially at my last day, I had to take a Tram and a train to go to an airport, but I was not sure how (and where ) I should take them, then one of the staff lead me to the station . He walked 5 minutes with me to teach how (and where) to take Tram. That is completely his extra job, but he suggest it very friendly, I definitely recommend to stay here if you are searching good hostel in Istanbul <3 <3 It is easy some cats come inside of the hostel . (But I didn't care because I love cats)

самый главный плюс - расположение. с одной стороны до святой софии идти 5 минут, с другой стороны отель расположен не на главных улицах, чуть в стороне в тихом спокойном месте. вокруг много подобных отелей и ресторанов. вообще, это хостел, соотвественно много молодежи. мы жили в так называемом люксе со своей ванной и двуспальной кроватью. персонал просто отличный! помогают во всем быстро, доброжелательно. действительно выше всяких похвал. про завтрак сказать нечего, мы на него никогда не ходили. в номере чисто. соотношение цена-качество- месторасположение отличное!

Situation géographique exceptionnelle dans le vieux Istanbul. Parfait pour les visites. Personnel très serviable, et qui répond volontiers à toutes nos questions. Rapport qualité-prix est très bien, et le petit-déjeuner est vraiment garni. Super ! Peu de douches sur le palier, et douches pas très fonctionnelles.
