Lola Backpackers Hostel

There were street cats all over the beds and inside the room.

Had an enjoyable stay here! Would come back if I visit Istanbul again 💙

Overall, it’s not a bad hostel for the price. The location is definitely the highlight, and the showers are warm (at least for a short time). On the downside, the beds are quite worn and tend to sink in the middle. The bathrooms had a noticeable sewage and mold smell, and the common area/lobby also smelled musty. The overall vibe during my stay wasn’t great. That said, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly place in a great location, it’s still a decent option.

To much dirty and messy.

I had a reservation but no one answered the door. I wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone.🫥🫥☠️👣

Lovely place with amazing vibe, great location and where the staff and the owner are greaaaat. If you are solo travelling and looking for a nice spot from where to explore Istanbul... I guess I'll be surprised if you find a better place ✌️

really liked it ☺️

Even though the description says the hostel is under construction, it was far worse than expected. Everything was falling apart and run-down. I don't think there was even a sign at the entrance to the hostel, so it took a while to find it. It's located in a sketchy alley near some dumpsters... The common space smells like mold and the bathrooms are dirty and extremely small. The British girl working there was rude but the other staff was fine. Save your sanity and stay elsewhere.

J'adore l'ambiance, la salle commune est très cosy, les chambres propres et le personnel adorable (mention spéciale pour le tour du quartier gratuit). Un très bonne ambiance avec de nombreux voyageurs. Le quartier peut être un peu angoissant, les équipements sont relativement vétustes (câbles pendant dans la douche, humidité relative) mais c'est correct pour le prix

Hostel correct bien situé

Great hostel! Location is good. The whole hostel is very clean. The showers are great. The cats and the dog are the heart of the place. The staff is absolutely lovely and helpful, daily promoting activities to integrate the guests. Will most definitely be back.

One of my favorite places in the world. It has an amazing atmosphere — I could find moments to be on my own and also meet great people and form groups to explore the city together. I will come back soon.

Heel leuke plek om effe Istanbul te verkennen. Je voelt je gelijk thuis. Deze plek is echt alleen maar voor backpackers die graag op avontuur gaan. De bedden zijn ok en je kan met een gordijntje het licht uit doen als je effe wat langer wil blijven liggen ofzo. Qua afwerking zou ik niet gelijk een 10 geven maar toch doe ik het omdat je voor zo een lage prijs toch alles hebt wat je nodig hebt. Verwacht geen super de lux toestand maar wel een community waar je gelijkgestemde mensen van overal op d...

Great place, they looked after me well, the host/receptionist was so cool, helped me out a lot moving around. 10/10

Très rudimentaire

Me and my friend had a quick stay at Lola, and from the beggining we felt super welcomed by Burcu, who kindly guided us aroudd the hostel facilities and daily events. She makes this hostel organized, friendly with good vibes with the cute dog and cats! Thank you very much, definetely I recommend this place to all backpackers who are looking for a a cozy and friendly hostel in Istanbul.

Social atmosphere, cute pets, great location, I deeply enjoyed my stay at lola, I joined few of their activities, it made my experience in istanbul much better.
