Jumba Hostel

The location of the hostel is not too bad,The bathroom and toilet are extremely small, and it can be quite uncomfortable, especially when sitting. The building itself is very old, so you may hear noise and creaking sounds when people walk around, they tend to contact guests frequently via WhatsApp and are very strict . It sometimes feels like they are running the place with a military-style disciplin. you might feel like you’re in an army environment and expected to follow very strict rules .

Jumba Hotel est un endroit très sympathique et les communications sont très claires. Le bénévole présent sur place, Red, est vraiment adorable et nous a donné des infos utiles. Nous avons aimé l'endroit, mais trouvé le quartier très bruyant.

Clean, quiet, good location. not super social. was a shame not to have some basics like shampoo/body wash but overall great value and stay.

very fun old building. bring ear plugs and eye mask. never met Pinar but there was plenty of communication. no social events but easy enough to meet and people on the terrace or in the sitting room

Tuve una muy estancia, la cama era cómoda y el auto check in bien explicado. Muy buen ubicado, pude recorrer a pie. Solo le falta una mejora a los baños ( tener donde colgar la ropa de uno cuando se baña y una puerta para no quedar en vista al pasillo. Recomiendo alojarse.

Very nice hostel - quiet, clean, comfortable, and well-located!

Lovely place.

i had one night , absolutely great value for the money. no complaints

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Commutation from the owners amazing. Rooms and vibe for me couldn’t be better. Place I will always go and book with anytime I’m around there

Great hostel for someone looking just for a place to sleep. not very social.

Very good communication, very cozy place, with a marvellous terrace. And super kind and helpful staff :)

Lovely people, great location and cute property. Felt like home

I had a lovely stay at Jumba! It is located in a safe and vibrant area of Istanbul, very close to the centre. The staff were so accommodating and helpful, allowing me to make last minute arrangements to my booking and storing my luggage after checkout. I will be back!

The hostel is very nice deocrated. Not like a hodtel but a place you geel you belong to the place. Staff was friendly and nice. Self check in istructions were quite easy . Will come back again :)

très bon séjour , un peu dommage de pas avoir croisé les personnes du lieu . mais si vous êtes pour quelques que vous dormez facilement ( quartier bruyant surtout le samedi )

Very sweet hostel, the location was great and organization also super easy. The staff was very helpful and quick to answer any question through WhatsApp. We were there in January during slow season and the hostel was quite empty, which was fine for us but could be lonely for someone else. We would definitely come back!

Loved my stay at Jumba! My room was so beautiful I kept extending my stay, and it was always seamless and friendly to communicate with the managers to do so. Check-in is easy and the location is unbeatable. I have been and will be back :)

Staff were super friendly. Had everything you need in a great location! :)

we had a Amazing experience

Overall, the hostel was relatively inexpensive and suited most of my needs. Paying in cash was a challenge but the host was kind and understanding. There were multiple power outages and the facilities didn’t feel very secure. The biggest downside for me was that the WiFi was not strong in my room and I ended up have to use a lot of data as a result. Beyond that, things were clean and access to laundry was a plus.
