1. The main reason I chose Hostel Nelly was the guest kitchen, and I wasn't disappointed. The kitchen has standard equipment, sufficient for preparing typical daily meals. 2. The hostel is located in a four-room apartment in an older building, the interior of which was recently repainted and refreshed. The hostel offers all modern amenities and I can confirm that it functions exactly as expected. There are some minor details that need attention (it's an old building), but they won't affect the quality of your stay. Just a note:, I would recommend cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms at least every other day. 3. The hostel is in a very attractive location in a part of the city that has avoided gentrification. It feels like time stopped there decades ago, you don’t feel like a tourist there. And Nelly, a spontaneously friendly personality, is reason enough to choose her hostel.

The Archeo's location is perfect to explore the Beyoğlu district, with a lot to do within walking distance. The café serves delicious coffee and food and is the best spot to relax before adventuring into the city. The hostel is as advertised, the beds are comfy, the shower is amazing, but the best part of our stay was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They go above and beyond to assist you and would litteraly run to our third floor to help us with the door. Thumbs up to Anwar and Borry, but also all the other kind persons we met there but didn't get the names, you guys were incredibly nice and helpful !

Cheers hostel it’s awesome! It is in the middle of the old city in Istambul, and has a great view of the Mosque Aya Sofia. Rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is good. However, the best of this place is the people. Shakir, Didi, Zoe and everyone there, the cleaning ladies… everyone, they really make sure you have a great time. You are a guest not a customer in this place. highly recommended.

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.
