Located near the Tophane tram stop, this offshoot of the Sultanahmet hostel of the same name offers seven private rooms and four cramped dorms sleeping between four and eight. These have lockers (BYO padlock), powerpoints and uncomfortable beds. There's a small but grubby communal kitchen that's best avoided – most guests hang out in the downstairs cafe, which serves basic food.
