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.
