Thank you Nergis and Ibrahim for your help during our stay! Yolo is a hostel with a great location, full of friendly people always ready to help you during your trip. We first visited in 2022, and then came back in 2024 and now again in 2025. We’ve stayed in double rooms, shared rooms, and also family rooms, and every time everything has been in great condition—super clean and ready on time. Thanks to the Yolo team for such a warm welcome. We’ll keep coming back and bringing our family and friends. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely the best. The two people at the front Murat and Sam were helpful, kind and friendly. Jay behind the bar makes some excellent drinks. The whole place has an awesome atmosphere and vibe, and they were excellent and getting the guests to meet each other and converse if they wanted to. Activities to help stimulate conversation and friendship. Couldn't recommend more. Will definitely be back, but this time for a longer stay.

Excellent location, just a few steps from Hagia Sophia and other sights. Helpful staff. We were three people and got a lovely upper floor room (or rather a two bedroom accommodation) with balkony and great views to Hagia Sophia. Such a pity that we were there only for one night.

All hostels in Sultanahmet

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
