The best youth hostels Istanbul

Located a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque, Cheers Hostel enjoys an exceptional location. The decoration is simple, the rooms clean and functional. The staff will bend over backwards to make your stay as pleasant as possible. After a day's visit, go to the terrace and enjoy the view of the setting sun over the mosque. Please note, however, that some rooms are in a building five minutes from the main building where breakfast is served: to be quiet, ask the question when booking.

The ideal place to enjoy the Kadiköy district, more alternative, authentic and less touristic than Taksim, on a low budget. Clean and comfortable rooms, terrace in a well renovated historical building and 15 minutes walk from the sea. A good address for backpackers looking for local colours. There is a good general atmosphere and it is ideal to meet other travellers. If you don't have a busy schedule, have a coffee and enjoy the small garden. A good address at a lower cost!

One of Taksim's oldest and most famous hostels, Bunk has never deviated from its golden rule: quality service at a low price. Superb animated terrace on the roof where games are organized. It is also possible to have a meal or a drink, alcohols are really cheap. You will see many Erasmus students who have just arrived in Istanbul. A good atmosphere, quite young, with a warm staff. You will hardly find such a service with such an ideal location. To be tested!
