I recently stayed at Antique Hostel in Istanbul and had a wonderful experience. As someone who is always concerned about bed bugs in hostels, I was relieved to read the positive reviews about cleanliness and hygiene at Antique Hostel. Upon booking, I reached out to the staff to request a lower bed due to my fear of heights, and they were incredibly accommodating and assigned me a suitable bed. The location of the hostel is perfect, as it is conveniently situated near all the main attractions and there is easy access to public transportation. This made exploring Istanbul a breeze. I never had to worry about getting around the city. While there are a few areas for improvement, I hope the management takes these suggestions constructively. The Wi-Fi connection sometimes experienced interruptions and became slow, so it would be great if the management could work on improving the stability and speed of the internet. Additionally, it would be helpful if they provided towels, even if it came at an extra charge. Having this option would save travelers the hassle of carrying their own towels. One aspect that impressed me was the breakfast provided at the hostel. Considering the price, the breakfast was excellent. It offered a good variety of options and ensured that guests started their day with a satisfying meal. Lastly, I would like to address fellow hostel guests. It is important to follow the rules of the hostel and respect the privacy of others. I encountered an unpleasant incident where someone knocked on the bathroom door while I was inside and then turned off the light. This kind of behavior is disrespectful and ruins the experience for everyone. If you need a private toilet, it is better to book a full room instead of a shared one. Overall, I highly recommend Antique Hostel for its friendly and accommodating staff, convenient location, and good value for money. With a few improvements, such as the Wi-Fi and towel availability,

Brilliant hostel really near to Blue Mosque and the attractions. Comfortable bunk bed with a shelf, sidelight and socket. Free WiFi. Shared bathroom in my female dorm. Lockers. Smashing, generous breakfast the same every day except one changing element. Hard boiled egg, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives. For example pasta dish, crusty bread, butter Cherry jam and chocolate spread and watermelon. Instant coffee, Turkish tea and water from a dispenser. The breakfast ladies are adorable. Lovely breakfast room and rooftop space for views across the city and water. The reception staff are very professional but friendly. They will help you with your questions. It is really good value for money and in the hot weather I only needed an evening meal as the breakfast is substantial. There are restaurants and cafes everywhere. I have visited Istanbul many times. You can see a substantial amount of attractions in walking distance of the hostel without ever using the trams. So if you are only there 2-3 nights remember this Istanbul has tons of shopping opportunities. Plan your birthday and Christmas gifts!

It was a great stay in Agora Hostel. Localisation couldn't be better, it's less than 5 min from Sultanahmet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It might be hard to find the hostel for the first time, but the staff provide message with relevant info, and a lot of people in the neighbourhood knows Agora, so you can ask. Beds were very comfortable, I had great sleep every night. Towels and sheets clean, no problem with getting a fresh towel (I stayed for a whole week, so I needed one). I shared room with 5 other women, and before I got there, I was a bit afraid about the level of comfort. But there was nothing to worry about. There were no curtains around beds, but the furniture was organised in a way that gave us privacy (I am very sensitive about privacy, but I cannot complain here). Also, I felt very safe in the hostel and neighbourhood. Wi-fi was very good, I had no problem with remote work, I even passed on online exam during my stay :) Last but not least, there'a terrace overlooking the Bosphorus and Marmara sea. You can have breakfast there and/or spend a quiet evening, looking at water.

I stayed in Antique Hostel for my first 3 nights in Istanbul. Glad that I chose to stay here. The receptionist(s) were friendly and can converse in good English so surely you would have no trouble communicating. I stayed in the 6 bed-room and apparently the space is a little bit tighter that what I was expecting. But for the price paid, I'm not complaining. The cook/housekeeping lady were also very polite and sweet. I checked out slightly later but she was most accomodating to let me take my time. They served typical Turkish breakfast but the sea view from the rooftop dining hall is excellent! I purposefully looking for a hostel as I was traveling alone. Made some friends in my room and we had a great time going around the city together. The location is PERFECT! It is so close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and the access to Sultanahmet tram station. But if you are going to commute via public transport to the hostel, it would be best if you use backpack coz most of the streets heading to the hostel is cobblestone pavements. I don't mind coming here the second time.

The shared room with the bunkers bed of 4 was very nice. Good value of Money. Really recommended. It has a great site view and sitting area all famous places are approachable at walking distance. Don't not by any thing from the airport. Take Havist bus # D12 from airport to Aksary station it's the last stop of the bus service. Walking 1 minutes you can find the T1 station to travel sultanahmet or take a taxi which will be around 50-60 lira. Make sure you have translator service from Google Turks struggling with English language speaking. Negotiation is mandatory if you are interested buying something and be aware of scammers in the city. Ask police for help if needed. Buying a metro card from sultanahmet station machine is recommended as it's at the price of 100 lira and airport guys will charge 500 for the same card with 10 free rides only. They charge security deposit to have 🔐 but it's safe to have your own lock to put on the items you store.
