Sultanahmet's rooftop, at your doorstep — a short walk from the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, with a terrace view Istanbul is known for.
This is a family-run house before it's anything else — I'll message you on WhatsApp before you arrive, help arrange your airport transfer, and point you toward the parts of the city guidebooks don't cover. Breakfast is made fresh every morning, and if you tell me what you can't eat, I'll make sure there's something good waiting for you anyway.
Come find us on the terrace — that's usually where I am.

Free tea and coffee, all day, with a view over the old city toward the Marmara Sea. Most guests end up here at least once a day — for breakfast, for the sunset, or just to sit somewhere quiet above the noise of the street.
Three room types, all with air conditioning and a fridge. Rates change with the season — the current price is always accurate on Hostelworld, so we point you there rather than posting numbers here that go stale.
We also have twin, triple and quadruple rooms, plus family rooms sleeping up to five — and we accept group bookings. Every room has central heating, a private shower & toilet, and hot water around the clock; select rooms add cable TV or air conditioning. Free WiFi reaches every room and the lobby.
Across TripAdvisor, Trip.com and Expedia, the same two things come up again and again: Oktay's hospitality, and the terrace at sunset. Read the verified reviews yourself, or leave your own after you stay.
