This traditional-style hostel can accommodate 45 people. We often come across French-speaking people because the team and the hostess have an admirable command of the language of Molière!

The yurt is soundproof, heated in winter and cool in summer. There is also a car park, table tennis and a wood-fired sauna. Tunduk is also a small travel agency specializing in excursions and short stays.

The ideal place to enjoy the Kadiköy district, more alternative, authentic and less touristic than Taksim, on a low budget.

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!

It is no longer really a cheap hotel… but it is very well located and clean.
