Bucoleon Hostel

great hostel, good vibes, clean cozy rooms and beautiful breakfast place with sea view

I am writing this comment to warn everybody! Please read it! Don’t stay in this hostel or another places which is in the that area. The people are taking advantage of tourists. My American friend were staying in this hostel. He was getting kidnapped. Taxi drivers trying to get 4 times more money if you are tourist. He went to a restaurant and they wanted 5000 turkish liras for a small dinner dish. People over there everyone is SWINDLER! Second of all pictures of rooms are reality is very different from reality. Rooms are dirty and old. I am warning to tourists as a Turkish local guy. I am so sorry for my people and my country. I am trying to warn as much as tourists. Istanbul is gorgeous but don’t stay this area (sultanahmet).

This hostel was such a fun time. The bbq night, belly dancing, and Jay(who was the bartender and host) was a blast to be around. He made the time very enjoyable for everyone.So many laughs and the pub crawl was so lively. I honestly recommend it to anyone. The location is also great.
