The room is very basic but you get much more of what you're paying for specially when comparing with the crazy prices in Istanbul. The host was beautiful and they even treat me with a beautiful dinner at home which probably was worth more than my booking. Beautiful people. Also the location very good for fatih.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
