Sultan Hostel & Guesthouse

The staff and owner were super accomodating and helpful and friendly. The breakfast made a really good place to meet other residents and make friends. The room was very clean. A short walk took you to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, plus the location was surrounded by food establishments.

First of all the location is superb. A walkable distance to all major ancient attractions, just walk around twice in the daylight, then you understand the area and tram station and local rail stations are nearby.( Not metro). The receptionist is super friendly and always has a helping hand,easy communicable too.the location is on an ancient street with plenty of restaurants and pubs( prices may be high due to its location. They have a cafe attached to the facilities and will get a standard breakfast for free. Value for money facilities and nice location.

Right in centre of Sultanahmet. Breakfast same every day but if like me you want to eat before you start expolring it was fine. This is not a 5* hotel room was small but OK. Remember you get what you pay for and this is good for the price we paid.

"Staying at Sultan Hostel in Istanbul was an absolute delight! The location couldn't be more perfect, right in the heart of the historic Sultanahmet area, within walking distance of all the major attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great tips on what to see and do in the city. The hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a wonderful atmosphere, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. I especially loved the attentive front desk staff. Overall, my experience at Sultan Hostel was fantastic, and I can't wait to come back!"

The hostel is nice and quiet, clean and with a good breakfast included every day downstairs in the cafe. I was very lucky and had a 6 bed female dorm to myself for 3 nights of my 4 night stay, with only one other person joining me for the last night. The beds were comfortable, the room clean and the bathroom was fine too. The hostel is well located in an area popular with tourists, and the Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque on a few minutes away by walking. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hostel is best for those just looking for somewhere to stay, not for meeting other travellers or partying (which suited me fine as this is what I was looking for). I would definitely stay here again and/or recommend it to others, although I think if/when I return to Istanbul I would like to stay in another, perhaps less touristy area as it is such a vast city with lots of neighbourhoods to explore. But this area is great for a first time visit.
