How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where the hostel sits, and how far things are
Antique Hostel is hostel and backpacker accommodation in Istanbul. It stands about 0.2 km from Sultan Ahmed Mosque, in a straight line, and about 0.3 km from both Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. Hagia Irene is about 0.5 km away, Topkapı Palace about 0.9 km, Sirkeci railway station about 1.1 km, and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.8 km.

From a 10 m² bunk room to 20 m² family rooms
The hostel has 17 room types in all, split between dormitory beds sold individually and private rooms. The dorms include a basement mixed dorm of 12 m² with six twin beds that sleeps up to 6, a 16 m² four-bed mixed dorm with a sea view, a 15 m² six-bed mixed dorm with a street view, a 12 m² four-bed mixed dorm, and a 20 m² six-bed female dormitory. Each dorm bed is sold for one person.
The private rooms run from the Budget Twin Room, 10 m² with one bunk bed and sleeping up to 3, up to the 20 m² rooms: the Standard Twin Room with a queen bed and a sofa bed, sleeping up to 3; the Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom, with a double bed and two bunk beds and a city view; and the Family Quadruple Room, with a double bed and a bunk bed.
For a couple, the Economy Double Room is the simplest option, with one double bed in 12 m². A group of friends can take the basement dorm or spread across several twin rooms; a family fits the Family Quadruple Room, whose double bed and bunk bed share 20 m².

What is on site
The hostel has a restaurant, and room service can be ordered through a mobile app. Family rooms are among the room types, and children are allowed, so a family can stay together in one room rather than splitting across dorms.
Beyond that, this is a hostel rather than a hotel: the emphasis is on shared dormitories and small private rooms at the lower size range, from 10 to 20 m², rather than on spacious suites or extensive leisure facilities.
Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed.
Who it suits, and who it does not
Backpackers and solo travellers are the core fit: dorm beds in mixed and female-only rooms, small private rooms for those who want a door, and a location about 0.2 km from Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Small families work too, given the family rooms and the children policy.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed, or anyone arriving by car and expecting to park on site. Travellers who want a large room or a full-service hotel setup should look elsewhere; the largest rooms here are 20 m².
