I came here for 3 days and stayed almost 3 weeks. I will skip the part about all facilities. In short, everything is as you see it in the pics. Beds are comfy, have curtains for privacy. In the basement there is a small kitchen, also a kettle and fridge in each room/ dorm. The location (Kadikoy) is the best in Istanbul. Very well connected with the SAW airport and all touristic sights. The prices are much lower than on the European side and the real life is still happening here. But the best part is the staff. They make travellers feel at home. This hostel has a great vibe! It's not large, so it doesn't get crowded. It's not a party hostel, but with live music performances on weekends. With a cozy cafe where you can socialize or get your work done. And there are many more things. In short, if you read it, you should book your stay here 😈

Room very comfortable with quilt, bed curtains in the dorm, clean, lockers, excellent and clean hot water shower. On a peaceful street with arty cafes around it. Located a few blocks above the water and near two handy ferry stations. In a neighborhood with bars, restaurants, shopping and cafes that are excellent quality and more affordable than other parts of Istanbul. The hostel had a vintage downstairs cafe that served both coffees and alcohol from earlyish in the morning til midnight. Perfect place to stay in a great area. I didn't want to leave.
Perfect place. The only thing is that some of the keys can open more than one locker so I always had to walk around with my passports.

I have stayed twice in Yolo hostel during my short trip to Turkey. Two nights, and since I liked the vibe of the hostel I spent again two nights there. The room was really nice, it had a bathroom with toilet and shower. The bed was confortable enough for me to don’t want to wake up on the morning early. There is a small bar downstairs to have a cup of coffee or tea. The good thing about staying on the Asian side of Istanbul, it’s when you go out of the hostel you directly can see the sea and can take the ferry to the European side. The Söğütlüçeşme station is super close to the hostel which was super convenient for me to continue my trip inside Turkey by train. One of the really nice think of this hostel is probably the staff. If I had a list of the best staff people I’ve met in hostel (which it’s not the case), they’ll probably rank high. In sum, leaving Yolo hostel was almost as sad as One Direction not getting back together.

This place is quite extraordinary! Every dorm is like a mini flat - it has a small kitchenette (well, a kettle, sink & fridge) & the bathroom inside my dorm was spacious & to a very high standard. It even had a hairdryer. The beds have curtains & a light, charging point & small locker inside, & you also get a large locker for luggage. I've never slept so well in a hostel. It's very quiet, & the curtains on the beds (bespoke, solid, purpose built wooden bunks) seem to block out sound & light very well. The guy on reception was just lovely. There is a kitchen downstairs.
The beds were a little soft, & there isn't a lot of communal space for sitting. The WiFi is fine for browsing & social media but I found it wasn't super fast, video calls were a bit patchy. The good points of the hostel made up for this though!

Let's start with the owner! He was extremely helpful and friendly. The staff were really helpful and generous. The location is the best! Close to the sea and located in the best area of all Istanbul Kadikoy. Housekeeping was also sppt on with daily cleaning. Great facilities across the hostel. Beds were very comfy and in dorm bathrooms were available. The bar/cafe is a great additional service with seats in the backyard or front terrace.
Like with most of the hostels in Istanbul, you either have a great WiFi connection with no AC in the reception area or have AC in the dorm with very poor WiFi connection. The kitchen could be improved, especially the lighting ✨️

I chose the hostel mainly because they have self-built bunk beds. Experience shows that that usually is a sign of a great hostel. And as expected the beds were really great with a curtain for privacy as well as an outlet and an additional small locker. The room itself also came with lockable lockers included as well as AC. The location is really great as well. Works great for both airports and for venturing into the city. Has many great places around for food and drinks. The staff is really nice and helpfull. Really adds to the hostel.
No elevator. Bathroom is inside the shared rooms. Good if you travel as a group. But can lead to problems when sharing the room with strangers as it is not very soundproof. Also, if it occupied, the only other toilet is in the basement and when arriving early you cannot already go and take a shower.

The hostel has perfect location for visiting different parts of the city. The neigbourhood is safe, full of cosy cafes and places to eat. Short distance walking from the port, bus hub and the last metro station on the line from the airport. The staff is very kind. There is a small bar at the ebtrance with nice vibes where you can speak with other guests. The room itself is corresponding to its price. The mattrace was kind of soft for our style but it depends on everyone's taste. It could get quite noisy in the morning because of the seagel birds, but with ear pluggs it was fine. In general it was a good choice for our stay in Istanbul.

Super central location, everything you need to get to everywhere is in walking distance. There is a fridge, faucet and boiler in the room. Normal hostels don't add this type of value. Staff is super friendly and had good conversations with almost all of them. There is 24 hours of service and they are not shying away to help you with any questions. Bed is comfy, I am a bit tall 1,90, so i had to make sure I didn't have my pillow too low. But the bed in general was super comfy. Lamp near your bed with socket.
Basically everything was exceptional. Sometimes if you have roommates who get home late, them taking a shower can be noisy, as the bathroom is connected to the dorm. But this is a minor complaint, because walking around Istanbul will tire you out enough that you sleep like a baby.

It offers excellent value for money, with comfortable, clean rooms and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The facilities were well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, with nearby access to Kadikoy neighboorhood and local transport. Overall, a perfect choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, hassle-free stay!"
