The extremely helpful and accommodating staff more than exceeded our expectations. Our original plan of 3 day stay was extended to 6 days because of the great time we had in Istanbul and the people we met within this hostel. Facilities are new and kept clean, enjoyed the shared kitchen as I could not get enough of the local cheap... More

Not the best hostel I've stayed at, but staff is friendly and eager to help/offer suggestions for anything you ask. Secure building, good for solo travellers. Dorm Rooms are clean and basic, we also stayed 2 nights in a suite which was very nice, however wifi did not work and room was not serviced during our 2 days there as... More

This is the perfect hostel in the perfect location for the social yet sophisticated traveler. You can walk to both the touristy old city and the party-friendly Taksim, yet the Hostel is on a quiet street with the most picturesque coffee shop on the corner. The staff arranges bar crawls every night, and there is a rooftop lounge and bar.... More

I was in bada bing hostel in March 2013 for 4 days. The hostel is very good located close to Galata tower, in walking distance to Taksim and sulthanamet and very close to the boat and tram stations. I was there with a girl friend and we never felt unsafe. The rooms are nice and clean, the bathroom too (but... More

Been here in Nov 2012, for 5 nights in DBL room with shared bathroom. The hostel is fine. Good position because it is near to Sultanhamet / Fatih but also to Istiklal Caddesi and it's nearby area. Moreover it is easy to reach the Asian part of Istanbul (Karakoy or Uskudar) by Boat (3 mins form the Hostel). Despite this... More

When you look at a map, it looks like this place may be a litte out of the way. but that's not true. It's right on the metro line in Istanbul Modern, just across the Galata Bridge. It's a 20 minute walk to Hagia Sofia/Blue Mosque, 10 minutes to the Spice Bazaar, and about 10 minutes up the hill to... More

The hostel is very well located, close to everything and it has this amazing rooftop patio. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Be sure they will help you finding whatever you are looking for, tell you about the great local places etc. I know we've had a great time there, so I highly recommend it.

Hmmm - in Istanbul you could find about 100000 places to stay in, but... if you are looking for a sth with great atmosphere and positive energy; nice and helpful staff which answered for all of your question with incredible patience and you like to sitting on the roofdeck and look into the sky - just stay there. Great location... More

This hostel is located very centrally to the old part of Istanbul, close to the Galata tower and the Galta Bridge. I am used to UK hostels not abroad ones so it was a bit of a shock not being up to that standard. The staff are vyer helpful on your arrival and one of them happily joined us for... More
