The 7 Best Hostels in Istanbul (Updated 2025)

"Built with digital nomads in mind, Second Home (in the Sultanahmet area) has fast Wi‑Fi throughout, desks in guest rooms and the common room, and I appreciated that they offer a tasty Turkish breakfast for 175 TRY and regular communal dinners; the staff also organize walking tours and pub crawls. The beds are basic metal bunks with no curtains, but the bathrooms are clean and spacious, there's a chill rooftop terrace to hang out on, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome; dormitories have an age limit of 40." - Matthew Kepnes
