I stayed 9 nights in the female dorm at Stanpoli Hostel in Istanbul and had a great experience. The room and bathroom were very clean and quiet. Lockers and closets were available (bring your own lock). The staff were incredibly helpful, and the breakfast with a rooftop view was a perfect 10/10. The location is excellent—right next to the Blue Mosque in Sultanahmet and close to the tram line. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at Stanpoli hostel. The breakfast was very delicious and we left the hostel well fed for the rest of the day. Thanks to the amazing staff at Stanpoli hostel, we enjoyed our stay very much!

I traveled solo so was bit concerned at first but service was excellent. Rooms were clean. Maintenance on point. Reception and other staff all are very helpful and prompt. Complementary breakfast was great but they can consider adding some vegetarian options.

Just one issue with house keeping was handling or placing my things without the permission. I had some of my makeup and gifts on the table and cleaning lady put them inside the drowers and did not inform. It could be a part of protocol to clean the entire room no complaint but wasn't really happy with someone else clearing my things or maybe not informing about it.

Amazing Turkish style breakfast from the rooftop and a warm hospitality of the host. Perfect stay for a solo traveler in the heart of Istanbul. The location is perfect to explore the city by walking.

I liked the staff, breakfast, location and the view on the roof

The room is so tiny for 6 people

Staff are super friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is filling and with a nice view from the terrace. Clean and comfortable and there is everything in the room you could possibly need! Great value.

It was a little noisy from the room as there was construction at the time. The location is good for a first time visit as it's very near to the tourist attractions but also makes it a bit of a tourist trap and expensive for restaurants etc nearby.

I booked a hostel room and this exceeded my expectations. Clean room, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with hot water and good shower pressure. Staff are amazing Osman and Boran were exceptionally friendly and helpful and made for a wonderful stay. The views from the rooftop are lovely. Sad I didn’t have the breakfast as I had to leave early every morning during my stay but I hear it’s a nice breakfast. Location is right next to the Blue Mosque with restaurants and cafes close by. Also felt very safe in the area

The location was so nice. Right next to The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace Museum, but just outside the busy streets that flood with tourists. The hosts are also extremely accommodating and attentive. There is always someone at the front desk willing to help with anything. The terrace is really nice, too. Especially in the mornings! Beds are comfortable.

Rooms are quite small, but not a deal breaker. Also, the balconies are not balconies you can walk out into, but no big deal really. Bathroom showers can overflow easily and the curtains have mold on them. I would recommend a more thorough cleaning. All-in-all, it was a nice stay. I would stay again.

Breakfast was excellent, I got sick with cold not feeling well so they gave me soup which was wonderful. The turkish coffee they serve is very good. Also, every day you have the same base breakfast but then other things they add that are different every day. They are very helpful and as the days were cold, they even gave us warm water during the day. The room is big enough, very quiet during the night.

I would add kettle in the rooms.

Easy quick check in, the entire staff were awesome! Very helpful, welcoming and accommodating. Rooms are heated with own bathrooms , comfy beds and plush blanket. Free Breakfast is amazing and generous, bread, eggs and antipasto, fruit and sweets! Hostel is close to everything!Best Hostel I have ever been to in my entire life!! Will be booking here next time when I come to Turkey. The staff and people I met there made my trip wonderful!!!Wouldn’t go anywhere else

No faults at all!!!
