Second Home Hostel

Had an amazing experience here, helped organise a pub crawl, went to heaps of places and had the best time, would definitely recommend, the roof top had amazing views with a shisha.

It s best hostel in the İSTANBUL people in there they re great and also they always make event every day best chance to have a good memory . And hostel is very clean and well located they organized family dinner in the rooftop after that organized game and party . You will never get bored in this hostel

Great place to stay. I stayed at a few hostels in Istanbul and this was my favorite. Great rooftop atmosphere with hookah a d BYOB. Shout out to Faruk for being such a great host!

I had an incredible experience at this hostel. The location was perfect, the accommodations were clean and spacious, and the staff was extremely friendly and energetic. Faruk and Mehmet organized an unforgettable night out on the Bosphorus followed by a pub crawl with rooftop bars. Also, they were hugely helpful in coordinating the delivery of my luggage to the hostel after it arrived late to the airport. So thankful for my time here!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in :) Fun events, yummy food, the best staff, and the cutest kitty Mimi in the world❤️ I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing hostel. The staff were incredibly welcoming. The rooftop is the highlight of this place. Highly recommend.

You feel taken care of from the moment you arrive. The social areas and events are great, so the social aspect is fully covered by staying here. The staff is amazing and that I would definitely recommend this place!

Had the absolute best time at Second Home! The location is close to everything, the staff were incredible and they were always available for anything I needed! Faruk and Memo were the best! Thanks for an awesome stay!

I'm so glad I decided to stay here! The people are great and the staff is wonderful at getting everyone together. The dinners have been delicious and last night we went to boat party on the Bospharus! Thank you to Faruk and the rest of the staff for giving us all a great night!

I had an amazing time at Second Home. Memo, Faruk and Violetta (sorry if I missed others) were amazing staff, the terrace on the roof was an awesome place to meet other travellers. My only downsides was that sometimes events felt a little pricey, and questioned whether they used them to subsidize accommodation costs. The floor of my hostel room was incredibly dusty, I put my bag down on the floor and it was super dirty when I picked it back up. Otherwise, 100% would stay again.

Absolutely unmatched location right by Hodjapasha and walking distance from all major attractions. Memo was extremely helpful with local recommendations, tips, helpful insights and arranging travel for us. We researched a lot before our trip but his tips turned out to be most useful for us. We couldn’t have chosen a better stay for our short trip to Istanbul.

Was a great hostel with very friendly and helpful staff in a wonderful location to everything I highly recommend and would stay again!!

Sono stata molto bene, mi è piaciuta molto la compagnia, staff top! Belle le attività come il pub crawl

Great social hostel. Faruq, Ali and the team were great people and always made me feel welcome and they were very good are recommended what to do in the city

Great social hostel! The location is super central and the staff are amazing

one of the best hostel i've ever stayed on my trip. dinner,rooftop,good people they made my stay perfect and also party see you next time :)

Super hostel, très bien situé et le personnel est vraiment adorable, ils m’ont bien aidée quand j’en avais besoin! Merci pour tout:)

I stayed in a private room (which are in an adjacent building). I did not find the hostel very social and not sure why it has such a high rating - I visited the communal rooftop every day I was there and most times, there was nobody there. The family dinner was also canceled every night I was there due to low sign ups (and I was there for 5 nights). However, the staff are very nice :)

This hostel was awesome! The people and the vibes were great and so was Faruq! Definitely recommend the boat party and the pub crawl was my favourite thing in Istanbul and faruq did an amazing job at making sure everyone had a fun time.

I love Faruk
