Social house is probably the best hostel I have ever been, the location in perfect to explore the old city of Istanbul, literally 5 minutes from the blue mosque and the main attractions of the hippodrome square. the hosts are amazing, always available on by phone or at the reception, friendly and helpful (they provide us a full list of restaurants, supermarket and so on... and not the turistic ones). The room was clean and tidy, as the toilets and the common areas; the kitchen was always clean and fully equipped to cook. In the reception is always available free tea and coffee, a comfy couch, books and good lofii music, perfect to chill. Our experience was extremely positive and we would defenetly recommend this hostel.
