Budget Istanbul Hotels

"Great place, amazing location - in the very center of Sultanahmet, yet very quiet, no rooms on any street - only sound that might wake you is muezzin :) Roof terrace is most amazing - and it's not a restaurant, so you can just sit there and read book all on your own." — source Hostelworld

"), nice welcome and helpful owner, simple but clean and cheap family room with good restaurant." — source Venere

"PS: I would recommend the Metropolis Hostel to all the people who want to stay in Istambul- it gathers all the qualities necessary for a comfortable and pleasant stay." — source Hostelworld

"I would not recommend this as there were not enough bathrooms, and they were always occupied. I would recommend staying in a room with it's own bathroom." — source Hostelworld

"I will surely recommend it and I will stay again there the next time." — source Venere

"Will definitely recommend the hotel to anyone I know going to Istanbul." — source Expedia

"Unfortunately for personal health reasons I was not able to but will definitely recommend the restaurant (and hotels} to "foodie" friends who visit Istanbul." — source Venere

"Very good location, staff very friendly and amenable, delicious breakfast (shame we couldn't take more than one plate to stock up for lunch), there is a safe for those in large dorms although the staircase to dorms is a throughfare for the restaurant upstairs (this said, we had no problems and the area seems calm and without issues) Very much enjoyed our stay here, and would thoroughly recommend the Istanbul Hostel." — source Hostelworld

"Moved 2 private room but they'd lost our booking (quite unorganised) so they moved us to a 'cheaper 'hostel: Yakamoz Guesthouse down the road which was 1000 times nicer (highly recommended) but we paid over 40lyra more than they quoted us." — source Hostelworld
