World House Hostel

Tucked behind the Latife Cafe, this run-down hostel is close to Beyoğlu's entertainment strips but not too far from the sights in Sultanahmet. Dorms are mixed and female-only, sleeping between four and 14. None have personal power points or reading lights. Sadly, bathrooms could be cleaner, hot water is unreliable. Breakfast in the cafe costs extra.
