Istanbul Hostels
Hello, I am Cade Spencer and I work as a Hairdresser. In my free time, I like to explore different places and when I travel, one of the best things I look forward to is staying at a hostel.
Hostels provide an experience that hotels typically cannot – they are cheaper, they provide a communal atmosphere and they are a great way to meet new people and make lifelong friends, especially when travelling solo. Istanbul is a beautiful city, with so much to offer and I’ve had the pleasure of staying at some of the best hostels in the city.
I’ve checked into funky, brightly coloured hostels with rooftop bars so that I can grab some awesome views of the city from above. I’ve also stayed at some hostels that offer more of a chilled-out vibe, perfect for when I’m in town for business and need a quiet place to get some rest in between meetings.
All of these hostels have provided me with everything I need – from comfortable beds to delicious food and great Wi-Fi. And the best part is that I never had to break the bank to stay in any of them.
In short, if you’re considering taking a trip to Istanbul, I highly recommend checking out the city’s best hostels. To make it easy for you, I have created a list of the best hostels in Istanbul that I have visited or want to visit, which are worth choosing for a great and exciting journey.
