    The rooms at the Piya Hostel are cozy and comfortable. They have everything you need for a pleasant stay, like air conditioning, free WiFi, and an iPod docking station. I felt relaxed and at home during my stay.

    One thing I didn't particularly like was the shared bathroom. It's just my personal preference, but some guests might not mind it at all.

    I had an amazing time staying at this hostel. The location was perfect, hidden away in a quiet area but still very central to all the major attractions. The staff were the friendliest and most welcoming I have ever encountered, making me feel right at home. The cleanliness of the hostel was outstanding, and I appreciated the lovely communal area where I could socialize with other guests. The breakfast provided was simple but delicious, and it was a great way to start the day. I would definitely stay here again.

    Convenient facilities, felt like a VIP with the helpful staff. Safety features were top-notch. Short walks to historical sights and comfortable rooms with modern amenities.

    Oh, how I loved the dirt and chaos of the dodgy neighborhood. It was a thrill being kicked out of the common area at midnight and being forced to go to bed at 1am.

    I stayed at the hotel for two weeks and had a fantastic time. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and other attractions. The room in the annex was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities I needed. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. a great experience and I have already booked to return.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The rooms at Piya Hostel have air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the Istanbul heat. I slept like a baby! I loved that this room had an iPod docking station. I could play my favorite tunes while getting ready to explore the city. The free WiFi in all guestrooms was so convenient for staying connected and sharing my travel experiences with friends and family back home. The apartments at Piya Hostel are like a home away from home, with a comfortable seating area, TV, and even a kitchen!

    Personally, I would have preferred a private bathroom instead of a shared one. But I understand that some people might not mind it at all.

    Convenient facilities at the hostel include a 24-hour front desk and dry cleaning services. The staff at the front desk were like superheroes, always ready to assist with a smile, making me feel like a VIP guest.

    Thin walls and noisy ambiance.

    The rooms at Piya Hostel are awesome! I stayed in a room with air conditioning and a shared bathroom, and it was perfect for me. The free WiFi was a big plus, and having an iPod docking station was a nice touch. I also liked that there was an electric kettle for making tea. the room had everything I needed and felt cozy and comfortable.

    The only thing I didn't love was the shared bathroom. It's just not my thing, but I understand that some people might not mind it.

    The staff at Piya were incredible, going out of their way to make sure our room was clean and ready upon our arrival. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Sultan Ahmet Mosque. The room itself was comfortable and perfect for our budget. We also appreciated the friendly and welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay.

    I would highly recommend Piya. Despite a minor issue with the breakfast not being customizable and limited Wi-Fi access, the positives far outweighed the negatives.
