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). 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 Apple hostel sits
Apple hostel is a hostel and backpacker accommodation on Akbıyık Caddesi, in Istanbul's 34122 postcode area. Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.8 km away and Sirkeci railway station about 1.1 km.
For flights, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.1 km away and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.7 km, both in a straight line. The hostel runs an airport shuttle for a fee.
From 22 m² doubles to a 50 m² family room
There are five room types. The Standard Double Room and the Standard Twin Room are the smallest at 22 m² each: the double has one queen bed and sleeps up to 3, the twin has two twin beds and also sleeps up to 3. Both work for a couple, with the twin doubling as a friends' room.
The Standard Triple Room is larger at 35 m² and has four twin beds plus one super-king bed, with a city view, so it suits a group of adults sharing. The largest room is the Family Room at 50 m² with five twin beds, made for a group of adults who want one shared space rather than separate rooms.
Note the naming: despite the family labels, this is an adults-only property, so these rooms are for groups of adults, not for parties with children.

What the hostel offers
The hostel puts on evening entertainment.
Practical comforts are covered: WiFi, air conditioning and heating throughout, non-smoking rooms, soundproof rooms, a terrace and a sun terrace, a shared lounge, laundry and dry cleaning, and daily housekeeping. Check-in and check-out can be done express or contactless, and payment is cashless.
The hostel also runs walking tours, tours and classes on local culture, themed dinner nights and pub crawls, so solo travellers and backpackers looking for company will find plenty organised for them.
Children and pets are not allowed
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are not allowed, and the property is adults-only throughout. Pets are not allowed either.
Who it suits and who it should not expect
Apple hostel suits adults travelling alone or in groups who want to be close to Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, with organised entertainment and a social, backpacker-style setting. Groups of friends can take the 50 m² Family Room with its five twin beds, or the Deluxe Family Room with its queen bed and two bunk beds.
It does not suit families with children, since children are not allowed, nor anyone travelling with a pet. Travellers who want a quiet, child-friendly hotel or a private apartment feel should look elsewhere.
