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.
Taksim Square about 0.4 km away, in a straight line
Windrose Hostel Istanbul is a hostel at Billurcu Sokak, Mücadele Çıkmazı no. 5, postcode 34433, Istanbul. Taksim Square is about 0.4 km away, in a straight line. Galata Tower is about 1.2 km from the property and Dolmabahçe Palace about 1.6 km.

From 15 m² singles to a 40 m² male dormitory
The hostel splits its beds between dormitories and private rooms. For solo travellers there are two dormitory options: a bed in a male dormitory room, which is 40 m² and has one bunk bed per booking, and a bed in a 4-bed female dormitory room, which is 25 m² and has a twin bed per booking. Each dormitory bed sleeps one.
The private rooms start at 15 m²: the Budget Single Room and the Single Room with Balcony each have one twin bed, sleep one, and take a city view, with the balcony the difference between them. The Double Room is 22 m² with one double bed and sleeps up to 3; the Double Room with Balcony is 25 m², also with one double bed, and also sleeps up to 3. The Triple Room with Balcony is 24 m² with three twin beds and sleeps up to 3. The two twin rooms are both 20 m² with two twin beds, but they differ in capacity: the Twin Room sleeps up to 3 while the Twin Room with Balcony sleeps up to 2, so a pair who want a balcony give up the third bed. Every private room has a city view.

Paid airport shuttle, paid parking and the house rules
The hostel runs a paid airport shuttle. Parking at the hostel is paid.
Check-out is until 11:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed. The property is a hostel in the backpacker sense: dormitory beds and private rooms sit side by side, so a group can mix the two formats within one stay.
Who Windrose Hostel Istanbul suits
Solo travellers have the widest choice here: a bunk bed in the male dormitory, a bed in the female dormitory, or one of the two 15 m² singles. Couples fit the doubles at 22 m² and 25 m², the larger of which adds a balcony.
A group of three can take the Triple Room with Balcony, either double, or the Twin Room, each of which sleeps up to 3; the Twin Room with Balcony is the one twin variant that does not, sleeping up to 2. Families can stay, since children are allowed and several room types sleep up to 3. Anyone travelling with a pet will need a different property.
