Great hostel in central Istanbul.

Pros: Super location, very friendly staff, specially Ahmet. Very comfortable beds. Great rooftop to enjoy with other guests. Not the Ritz but an excellent Hostel in walking distance of all the sights, ferry trips around the Bosphorus etc.

Perfect location, comfy room

Pros: Amazing location, within walking distance of major attractions (5-7 min to Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi). Close to Eminonu ferry pier, 3 mins to tram and Marmaray. If you’re looking for conveniently located hostel, this is it. Private room was comfy, spacious and well equipped (it even had a hairdryer which is not that common).

Cons: The bathroom could do with a little refurbishing, but it was ok.

Good hostel, comfortable room, friendly staff, fun activities

Pros: We had a great time staying at Second Home Hostel. We were welcomed warmly with some tea. We stayed in a bedroom with private bathroom, which was comfortable and spacious. We joined the dinner on the night of our arrival, and we joined the pubcrawl that was organized the day after. Both were really nice opportunities to meet other travelers. We had a great time.

Cons: The room was located in a building next to the main building, which made it a bit more effort to get to the main area and the kitchen (we never used the kitchen so I didn't see it, but I read there was supposed to be one). Personally I also think both the dinner and pubcrawl were slightly overpriced. Either way, we enjoyed both of them, and I do appreciate that the hostel organizes these activities.

Good location and helpful. 🙂

Pros: The property is well located in the Old City, comfortable, homely atmosphere activities like dinners and games. The wifi was also reliable for remote desktop work. A special mention to Aleyna from the hostel-she is efficient and advises well. She helped with booking a Bursa Tour, a hammam visit, and also where to explore in Istanbul, all on short notice! 😊 it was like having a personal Tour guide!

Cons: N/A.

I really loved my stay here. It was my home away from home.

Pros: I loved the common areas and how it actually feels like home. The staff deserves a gold star. They are so welcoming and lovely. I would even call them my friends now
