Where to Stay in Istanbul When You Visit (Updated 2025)
"I liked Hostel Le Banc’s perfect location just a few blocks from Galata Tower; it’s welcoming, the friendly staff host family meals and walking tours that make it easy to meet other travelers, and the place has a guest kitchen, rooftop terrace, café breakfast, en-suite dorms with comfy bunks and privacy curtains, private rooms, and is always kept sparkling clean—one of the best hostels in the city." - Matthew Kepnes
