I stayed at Sanat Hostel for 10 days and absolutely loved it! The place is super clean and close to everything. The breakfast is amazing and the view during breakfast is just WOW! Toilets and showers are everywhere, which is really convenient. The staff are exceptional, and the price is very affordable. One of the best places I’ve stayed in Istanbul!

I loved the place and the surrounding is sooo awesome with nice restaurants around .. I love the place
The building of this hostel is kind of old, but it has a convenient location, reasonable prices, and is clean. The hostel staff are very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area can be a bit noisy until late at night. Still, there are plenty of places to eat and grocery stores nearby, so it’s very convenient and I recommend it.

If you want to stay in good location is amazing otherwise is not really clean,. hotel manager and other staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast for hostel level is more then great.
I stayed here in both December and July and had great experiences each time. Despite initial concerns about the surroundings, the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, making me feel at ease. The hostel is comfortable and the breakfast is fantastic. Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful time there. The staff was very cooperative and friendly
Roof top restaurant is awesome and the singer has mesmerizing voice
Loved it there
If you are looking for a convenient budget friendly place to stay, i totally recommend
They only need to work a little on repairs and maintenance but over all in this price you can't find better than this
Fully Satisfied
The owner is a very nice person, he is always paying attention to everyone. I really enjoyed my time in the place.
If u are a person who want a secure place, stores near by, restaurants, and disco near, so Sanat is the best option for this, also the bedrooms are bigger and always clean
For Sure I going to came back there.
Thank u for everything
Loud party time. This hotel was perfect for the party traveller if you looking for bars restaurants and night life this is your hotel. The street right outside has many clubs and bars and is incredible loud music from 10pm to 4am sleep is nearly impossible here due to the noise.
the only bad thing is the time of breakfast
It starts really late (after 08:30am), which is already late for a tourist lic city
the options of food were nice though
I stayed in a private room with a double bed and it was nice
I can only complain about the time of the breakfast

The woman's room have the private washroom, no Windows could see outside view. No luandry amenity. Free breakfast end at 10.30AM.
Its cheap and cheerful but if you are on your own, you'll need a friend to get in the club. Otherwise the music will keep youbawake til 5am.
Breakfast was a highlight, but the double room i had was damp. The aircon didnt take any moisture out of the air.
Unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. While the staff were friendly and did their best to accommodate me, the property itself left much to be desired. The room was very cramped and felt claustrophobic, making it difficult to relax. Additionally, the cleanliness of the property was below my expectations. The area around the hotel had an unpleasant odor, which detracted from the overall experience. The interiors of the hotel were also quite dark, which added to the unwelcoming atmosphere. Despite the great staff, I can't recommend this hotel due to the numerous issues with the property itself.
