Anzac House Hostel

Çanakkale


Operated by the Hassle Free Travel Agency, Çanakkale's only backpacker hostel offers basic but clean dorms and private rooms, but is woefully short on character and facilities (no lockers or reading lights). Dorms sleep between six and 16 and are hot in summer; shared bathrooms are barracks-style and don't always have hot water. No breakfast.

There are four cramped and horribly claustrophobic rooms without external light – make sure you don't get stuck in one of these.
