Avrasya Hostel

Very friendly staff and location within walking distance of some of the tourist attractions

My stay at this hostel was incredibly uncomfortable due to inappropriate behavior from an older man named Cumhur, who claimed to be the owner. He repeatedly tried to sell boat trips and displayed unwelcome physical contact, kissing and touching me every time he saw me until I had to firmly tell him to stop. Despite staying in a female-only dormitory, he entered my room uninvited and lingered for extended conversations when I was alone, making me feel unsafe. My roommate from Eastern Europe experienced similar treatment—he frequently came in when she was alone sometimes lying on her bed, kissed and touched her, telling her she was "like a sister" to him and boasting to her about his expensive car and a house in New York. Beyond these unacceptable behaviors, the hostel itself was also poorly maintained. Although I noticed staff mopping the floor, dust remained in every corner. The shower was filthy, covered in mold and stains, and the kitchen was greasy and dusty, making it feel unhygienic. Additionally, after checking out, I received what appeared to be an automated message from Murat & Neslihan asking for a positive review. It was evident that they were the actual owners of the hostel, yet Cumhur continuously tried to claim ownership himself. This was, without question, my worst hostel experience. The combination of unsettling encounters and poor cleanliness made my stay deeply uncomfortable. I strongly advise female travelers to avoid this place for their safety and well-being.

The owner was also really friendly. Above all, it was great to travel because there was a hostel between Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. I liked that the entrance to the hostel was decorated really cutely.

A little bit crowded and dark The reception is nice Near Blue Mosque
