Nice staff that was 24/7 and spoke English well. Room looked nothing like the pictures, but decent for the price. Lots of mold in the shower, and the breakfast was so sparse it shouldn’t count as breakfast.
Their ‘breakfast’. Super pretty, but almost nothing to eat

Fabulous & friendly welcoming place

A really fabulous short stay at The Sultan Hostel. From the warm and smiling greeting from Ahmed on the desk, the cozy clean dorm and peaceful nights sleep to the lovely breakfast and coffee in the morning and the nice staff. Perfect for a single female traveller. Safe and comfortable in a vibrant area close to all the sights. My go-to place next time in Istanbul and I will defo recommend it to other travellers. Great value and hospitality to match. Thank you!

The manager and staff were extremely helpful with walking to the places we wanted to go. Also very helpful with arranging a ride back to the airport. This place was very simple, yet it is a hostel. And the room was very clean. There were construction materials sitting around near the entrance which could be picked up,the staff was so excellent though, I didn't mind. It was very comfortable and homey. The breakfast room was the same, comfortable and homey. They have a place to keep luggage since checkout time was before my flight. That's good.
