The hostel is clean, staffs are alk helpful and friendly, breakfast is modest but enough, rooftop view is perfect, location wise is perfect, groceries shops are all around, price is good and they offered great packages too for day trip around Istanbul. The only thing you have to bear is the noise at night. I think it came from the... More

We were in Istanbul for two days at the beginning of our trip in Turkey and stayed at the Orient Hostel. The room wasn't the fanciest I've seen but it was comfortable enough and very clean. The staff was amazing, very helpful and welcoming, specially at the bar downstairs. We got to hang out with other backpackers and had a... More

I have stayed at many many hostels around Europe and this one is by far my favourite. I didn't come here looking for a good night sleep. I came to meet people and have fun. And I have accomplished that very well. The 30 bed dorm is by far the largest I have ever stayed in, but it's not at... More

This hostel was really handy for my stay in Istanbul. I'm currently a solo traveller and only had a couple of nights in the city. It was really handy to all the big attractions like Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which are both must see's. They have a bar there which was great for hanging out in and meeting new... More

The hostel is located just beside Hagia Sophia, two steps from all the main amenities in Sultanahmet. The tram stop is 5 mins walking. We stayed six nights in a triple room ensuite. The room was fairly big and the bathroom huge (including a shower almost double than normal size). It was a bit warm inside the room but have... More

Very friendly reception, they helped us looking for public transport etc. We stay in a private bedroom with toilet and shower. The rooms are okay, maybe a bit small, but they are clean.You have everything you need. The breakfast is okay, if you don't like it, you can buy something else in the bar/terrace downstairs. Good location, everything in Sultanamet... More

Orient Hostel has it all for a budget-friendly stay: location is good, close to the main attractions of the Sultanahmet area and is pretty clean, has good beds and can organize a shuttle to the airport. There are, however, some great improvements to be done within the customer service - the reception is chaotic, only a couple of staff serving... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed in a room with a double bed. The place is clean and safe with a 24 hr front desk. The staff were a lot of fun and very helpful. Has a nice party atmosphere and the bar downstairs was a great place to have a night cap.
