ピヤ ホステル (イスタンブール)

I regret I am unable with any honesty to concur with previous positive reviews. The wifi was virtually non-existent. There is nothing that could be called a common area. Worst of all the exit door was locked (plus two bolts) and needed a key to be opened in early morning. This is criminal negligence and could result in multiple casualties in the event of fire, since the windows have fixed security bars.

Amazing people running this place! Feels very welcoming! A bit dated place but worth every penny bottom line. Truely enjoyed my stay. Totally recommended! Thx much guys!

This is really a value for money. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom. It had a separate entrance. So, we did not need to bother the owners to enter into our rooms. The owners are very good persons and are very helpful. They allowed us to check in after mid night as we had a late flight and the new Istanbul airport is not as close as the old airport was. The rooms are spacious. It had a fridge and burners to cook your own meal if you wish(though we did not use). Electric kettle was there for a quick tea or coffee. The breakfast was nice to start your day. The building is a bit old and the toilet had plumbing issues that could flood the toilet floor with dirty water. Though few travelers mentioned the area is dodgy at night, we felt no issues and felt safe. Overall, a good value for money to us for the price we paid.

It was good, I would wish to have more modern and structured amenities, but the location makes up for everything

Piya hostel is in a great location, super close to a lot of the common tourist locations and public transit. Quite a few local mini markets around as well. The neighborhood itself could use a bit of love, but nothing really wrong with it.
