AWESOME LOCATION, on the main street right in between Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. All the sites of the old city are walkable and other tours will pick you up from the hotel.

We found this small hotel on a Google search the night before arriving from a Bahá'í Conference at Yeditepe University, and struck lucky indeed!
The hotel is, as promised, just 1 minute from Istanbul's 'Blue Mosque'.
The tram from the ferry passes the door and we were right in the centre of tourist attractions. Ideal for a short break, the rooms have t.v., hair-dryers, and fresh linen daily. The breakfast room on the top floor has panoramic views of St. Sophia, Sultan Ahmet and several smaller mosques, as well as with another lounge on the first floor. Breakfast was simple and plentiful, with good restaurants on the street outside. A mini-bus was organised to take us effortlessly to the airport, with the hotel apparently taking commission for this.

Our holiday in Istanbul was really wonderful! Our experience became unforgettable through this hotel! The staff was so helpful and kind. It was cheap and the price contained a delicious breakfast!!!
BUT we recommend that you shouldn't choose shared bathroom, because this bathroom is NOT bathroom, just a toilet!
However the stanard room which includes own bathroom was really suitable and comfortable with a marvellous view.
Thanks for everything!

The only thing that I didn't like in this hostel is that door was locked during the night... and you must knocked on the door and wait to wake up man on the reception... Everything else is perfect...

If you are not too sensitive of comfort, this is an ideally located budget hotel in the vicinity of many of the most interesting tourist sites.Lack of lift. Prefers payment in Euro, pse arrange change as the reception only return any balance in local currency.

Very good location, good view from terrace, reasonable price and nice staff. Bathrooms are a bit small but I think it is normal for hostels. We suggest you this hotel. - Gokcen (from Turkey) and Alok (from India)
P.S.: Be careful if some guys come and talk to you friendly and then if they invite you for a drink or else. They may be cheat. Unfortunately they cheated my friend Alok before I arrive to Istanbul.

An excellent hostel hostel: nice and clean rooms, private bathrooms and a great location. It has the feeling of a hotel. So if you are looking for a place to stay, I can warmly recommend this one!
The only `downside' is, that the hostel doesn't invite much interaction with other guests. This is mostly because of the hotel like style.
