هاستل تیودورا

a bed in the heart of fatih

+ A bed, a bathroomn and a balcony. You'll get what you pay for but rhat doesn't mean it's not good - actually perfect for solo minimalistic budget travelers. I'm not giving 10/10 so you wouldn't expect more than you'll get.

− Recommendation - ear plugs and eye mask + extra towel for more privacy. Otherwise you won't sleep.

Exceptional

+ In a central location with friendly staff.

− None

Very Good

+ The place was near the historical places and the owner was cooperative.

Perfect for a jail experience

+ Facilities are ok

− One of the worst places I stayed at in two years traveling the world. The two old men working there are preparing for a film role as prison wards and they are perfect for that role. I reported them both to the tourist police and the magistrate. One of these “ gods gifts” wanted to kick me out, because I asked where the light switch is ( during the day, as I had arrived tired from the airport and wanted to see my stuff to select my clothes. The other wanted to tell me to go to bed, as in his eyes it was “sleeping time”. I am a psychologist and filmmaker and don’t like to be commanded by unhappy creatures. I played along as I wasn’t interested in fighting with these kind of people. Facilities are ok, but these “gentlemen” who obviously hate their job should be removed asap

Very Good

+ The location is the best. Always.

− It was value for price. I won't expect too much for this price. Overall good.

Exceptional

+ We were absolutely delighted with our stay! The hosts and staff are amazing, welcoming us so warmly and genuinely that we felt right at home. The room was spotlessly clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and everything was fine with the shower. A special plus is the cozy kitchen area on the terrace, where it was great to spend time. Guests from different countries gather there, and everyone always finds a common language — it is a wonderful place to chat, meet new people, and have a great time together! The location is just perfect: the Bosphorus is only 300 meters away, and absolutely all sights and tourist locations are within walking distance. At the same time, it is the most affordable and budget-friendly option for this prime location. Thank you so much for the care, we will definitely come back!

Exceptional

+ The atmosphere with other travellers and the staff was welcoming and warming. The uproof terrace was an amazing place to sit and hang out with fellow travels. The rooms had good airco and the terrace really protected against the heat and had a nice view over the Bosporus. Definitely recommend this place :)

− The high prices of the high tourist area the hostel is situated in. Go to some local places or supermarkets instead

Poor

+ Only the location was perfect

− The staff and cleanness was a lack of during my stay even I checked out one day before.

Ali crazy

+ Ali was so nice with me and old man to the reception man was so nice

Pleasant

+ The staff were very friendly. Location was great.

− Bathrooms are not clean. Everytime you shower and floor floods with water. It's not very clean but functional. My bunk bed was broken so getting to the top bunk was risky at times.
