I had the most incredible stay at this hostel in Istanbul! Hands down the best hostel in the city. The atmosphere is so vibrant and energizing—it’s the perfect place to connect with amazing people from all over the world. The staff is super friendly, always going above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The rooms and beds are spotless and comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. If you're looking for a place to recharge, make lifelong friends, and experience Istanbul to the fullest, this is it. Highly recommend!

The staff and owner are the most accommodating place I’ve stayed in Turkey. There is a lovely cafe downstairs with a good atmosphere. The WiFi speed is really, really good. The location is great. I enjoy stepping out knowing that I can walk to most places and also connect easily to public transport. The staff are so sweet and kind, especially Bora, Ege and Okan.

I spent 4 wonderful nights in Rodin hostel (instead of 2). Everything was great: location, staff, my bed, the common guest room and people around!:) I met other travelers and we explored city together. I experienced true hostel spirit - the main reason i choose hostels! All staff was very helpful and friendly- I already miss charming Sally :) I'll come there again!)

Perfect location. Major attractions are within few minute walk. Can get to other parts of the city easily by tram. Facilities are well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided some useful tips on travelling in Istanbul and other parts of Turkey, and gave some suggestions on where i could go for the rest of my trip in Turkey, which i found really useful.

Excellent location, it is close to main attractions and the seaside. The owner has two cats that he takes care of and several other street cats they feed. They were very kind and attentive to our needs. They allowed us to leave our baggage for the day after we check out. Very nice rooftop view with an excellent traditional breakfast. I highly recommend it.

All hostels in Sultanahmet

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
