Lola backpacker's Hostel: dorm beds near Galata Tower

Lola backpacker's Hostel is at Arap Cami Çıkmazı 12, postcode 34421, in Istanbul. Its position is close to several of the city's best-known landmarks: the Arab Istanbul Mosque is about 0.1 km away and Galata Tower about 0.3 km, in a straight line.

Further out, but still within a compact radius, the Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.2 km away and Sirkeci railway station about 1.2 km, in a straight line. Topkapı Palace is about 1.7 km, Hagia Sophia about 2 km and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2.2 km. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.7 km away, in a straight line.

Every booking at this hostel is a bed in a shared dormitory room; there is no private room of any kind. Each of the three bed types sleeps one person on a bunk bed, so the choice between them comes down to the room's size and who shares it with you.

The Bed in a 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room is the smallest option at 12 m². The Single Bed In Mixed Dormitory Room and the Bed in a 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room are both 15 m². Travellers who want a female-only dormitory have one option here: the 6-bed female dormitory room. The other two bed types are in mixed dormitories.

Check-in is from 14:00. No check-out time is given.

Children are not allowed at this hostel, so it cannot host families or anyone travelling with a child.

The hostel has no parking of any kind. If you are arriving in Istanbul by car, you will need to plan for parking elsewhere.

This is a backpacker hostel in the strict sense: dormitory beds, one guest per booking, and children excluded. It suits solo travellers and backpackers who want a bed for themselves in a shared room, particularly women who prefer a female-only dormitory, which the 15 m² 6-bed female room provides.

It does not suit couples who want a room to themselves, families, or anyone travelling with children, since no private rooms exist and children are not allowed. It also does not suit travellers arriving by car, as there is no parking.
