Surprisingly neat. Great for solo travellers as you will meet lots of new people. The hostel staff are very patient and have sent some of their staff to support due to the earthquake in Turkey and have also organised donations at the hostel. You can feel that this is a responsible and caring hostel. Also, the location is very good, close to the metro and 10 minute's walk from Istiklal Caddesi and Galata Kulesi. The ferry terminal is about 20 minutes walk away.

The man who runs it is very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect. Room was clean, had AC. The only downside of this place is stairs- very steep, there's no elevator, and if your room is on 4th floor you have to put some efforts to drag it up there. I had not to do it as a man who rans this place helped me, which saved my back as my luggage was not light at all.

Huei Nuoo

Hostel? It was more of a modern 4 star hotel. 10€ was virtually free for what you get. All showers & kitchen are newly built. They provide brand new airfryer, expensive cappuccino machine, among other major appliances. The dorms are spacious & spotless. Located literally next to the metro station- With my huge suitcase, I wouldn’t want to carry it in the steep streets in European side hostels, which are ridiculously expensive & you do not even get 50% of the quality you have here. Over the months, the marvellous and so super generous owner Mert has accomplished & upgraded a great deal of his facilities, because he listened to his guests’ needs. Making everyone’s visit tranquil was his aim. There is a reason why most of his guests are regulars, who keep returning or extending their stay.

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.
