I enjoyed the convenient location and the welcoming staff. Everything I wanted to see during my short visit to Istanbul was within walking distance. There is a lovely terrace and rooftop with a nice view of the sea. The beds were comfortable, though a bit hard to climb up to the top bunk as a short person (there was nothing where the bottom rung of the ladder should have been). Showers were cleaned everyday. Some shelving in the shared showers to put toiletries on would be a great addition, as well as more sitting areas in the shared dorm rooms to avoid sitting on other people's beds. Overall, I enjoyed staying at Antique Hostel and would recommend it.
