Customer Reviews Istanbul - Sultan Hostel

The Sultan Hostel in Istanbul is one of my favourites. They have HI’s best ever breakfast, even for a vegetarian, and several staff members remembered me,after more than three years’ absence. Both because of hospitality and location, they are rightly classified a HI heritage hostel.

Very clean. I wish it provided a few hooks or hangers for clothes so everything wouldn't end up on the floor. We all had to ask for a towel; it wasn't offered. Breakfast was simple, but certainly adequete. Room was quiet too. I was extremely disappointed that the terrace had been closed and this attraction is still listed on the website as something special. I picked this hostel over the others just because of the so-called view. Please correct your website. Otherwise, this hostel certainly gives value for your money.

We were very pleased with our stay at HI Sultan Hostel. The staff are the highlight at SH, with the bar/breakfast and the reception staff in particular providing excellent cutstomer service, including good humour! We stayed in a double bedroom for 15 days and though the room was not the best double in the hostel, it suited our purpose and stay as it was very quiet, clean and secure. Hostel facilities were fine, with sufficient shared shower and toilet facilities available for each floor's occupants. There was one day with water and electrical problems, however these were managed well and fixed within a reasonable timeframe. Breakfast is basic, however it is fresh and there is flexibility for all to make it to breakfast if needed. Overall, a safe and secure place to spend a few days in Instanbul, with good value for money considering the excellent location for the nearby sights and sounds of the city.

Wir waren im Februar diesen Jahres mit einer Gruppen von 5 Leuten in Istanbul unterwegs und haben uns im Zuge dessen aus der schier unendlichen Anzahl von Hostels und Hotels für (wie hierß das?) entschieden. zunächst waren wir ob des niedrigen Preises doch auf die Qualität des gebotenen gespannt wurden aber nicht enttäuscht als wir ankamen. Der Staff war immer Vorort und auch stets zur Stelle um bei Fragen zu helfen.Die Zimmer/Betten/Bäder waren ordentlich, nichts besonderes aber sauber. Besonders erfreut hat uns das gebotene Frühstück. Überragend war die Nähe zum historischen Stadtzentrum, so waren wir in 5 Gehminuten vor der Hagia Sofia (die jedem Istanbulreisenden ein Begriff sein sollte). Ünvergessen waren und bleiben die Abende in der Hosteleigenen Bar. Wir empfehlen ein großes Efes, eine Shisha mit Erdbeergeschmack und Kontakt zu anderen Hostelgästen. Lasst aber die Finger vom Tequila...glaubt uns...wir sprechen aus Erfahrung.

I absolutely loved Sultan Hostel! The staff is so nice, the beds are comfortable, and it's three blocks away from the biggest tourist attractions.

It's not a bad hostel but it need some improvements. First of all the friendliness of the reception guys, they should be kinder... The showers should have curtains, each bed should have it's power point and bed clothes should be changed because they are kind of worn. However the restaurant staff is really helpful and the hostel is really well located.
