10/10 Exceptional

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.

6/10 Good

When I was there, the clientele was inconsiderate and rude, making my stay miserable. That's on me, I guess, for being unable to tolerate people talking on their phones and using them without headphones. It's the new way of the world, and I'm too old to keep up. I won't stay in a hostel in Istanbul again. I'll avoid the city unless I can afford a private room. Also, staying in tourist areas is annoying because you can't walk down the street without being harassed to spend money at every establishment you pass. I'm just glad to be out of there. Sorry.

This is a basic accommodation for someone only needing a place to sleep and shower, and spend most of the time in the city. It is relatively close to the tourist sites of the area, but the street to get there do not seem that well traveled. Although this is Sultanahmet, it isn't the very busy side of the neighborhood.

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!

I stayed one night before catching a flight to Cappadoccia. The only reason I didn’t return to this property the next week for my stay in Istanbul is because the bed was terrible. I could feel the springs poking me in the side. I stayed in a room with a queen bed and a private bath. It should be noted that there is no elevator. I knew this before, but if you have problems getting up stairs with your luggage, this would be an issue.

A good budget place in the historical Istanbul.

It’s a very good budge place to stay as a bed and breakfast, exceptionally good value for money. It’s in the centre of old historical Istanbul, only a few minutes walk from the main historic sites such as Blue Mosque, Ayasophia and Topkapi palace. The staff, specially Murad and Asmat are extremely friendly and go out the way to help the travellers. They are happy to store your luggage for a few hours after the checkout without any additional charges. I will definitely consider it in the future to stay for a longer period of time.
