Arriving late in the afternoon in winter, I noted it gets dark pretty quickly, but with a little synchronicity I found that this booking was in the perfect spot, about ten minutes walk from the Haliç metro station. The reception I received was professional, but I only really interacted with Can, who went above and beyond to lend me a hand with all manner of questions I threw at him! He really made my time and wishes spent in Turkey go very smoothly planned. So, thanks ever so much again Can! ~ So, of course I recommend you stay at his hotel: It's nice on the wallet, and the street has a great vibe, and it's about 20 minutes of a wonderful walking time to the main tourist attractions.

Very welcoming team, superb location, amazing rooftop views, proximity to major landmarks and safety due to it being within a protected area where you can safely walk around even in the middle of the night. The rooms are very quiet and the beds comfortable. The shower had excellent water pressure and got water.. the breakfast buffet offered an amazing healthy set of options to choose from.

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.
