Manu Startup House

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The price/value ratio is exceptional! The hostel community was welcoming and very kind. As many reviews before me mentioned, the host Mert is a very sweet person and works very hard to make sure the guests feel comfortable during their stay. I went out with other people visiting the hostel frequently, had dinner with them and really enjoyed their company including the staff. I got to sleep in the 4 bed girl room for five nights although I had booked the bigger mixed dorm because there was an opening which was super kind! The beds were the most comfortable ones I’ve ever had in a hostel! There is a little basket for personal belongings you want to access quickly, an outlet and a lamp on the bedside - super convenient! Our room was also designed in a smart way that the bed light on one side of the room doesn’t blind the other side. There was also a big mirror with light and some hangers for coats// towels. Facilities were clean. There are community spaces including a kitchen and a work space with AC, perfect for people who work and travel at the same time. Among the most affordable and suitable spaces for digital nomads in Istanbul. There is a metro station just a few minutes by foot away from the property that brings you to my favorite part of Istanbul (that I’ve seen so far), Kaliköy, in about halft an hour. To get to the European Side you have to change once and it takes about an hour. It’s very reliable and I had no problems getting across the Bosporus but you should keep that in mind if you plan on doing sightseeing because most famous sights are quite far away.

Manu Startup House is a modern affordable accommodation in Istanbul (Asia side near Bostanci metro). I booked a deluxe room (double bed) for more privacy with shared bathroom (shower & toilet). Also, you can book single beds in 4, 6, 8 dorm style. The place has everything you need whether you are travelling on leisure or business from fast wi-fi, kitchen with utensils, dining area, water, work space, lounge in main office and even a theatre/projector room to watch movies. All your needs such as ATM, metro, supermarket, bakery, restaurants, pharmacy, gym etc. are in close proximity. In summary, an ideal location with comfortable & safe home feel for all travellers & digital nomads. Most importantly, Mert - owner is very hands-on with all your needs and assistance. He will always make sure that you have the best stay possible. I highly recommend this place for a short or long term stay in Istanbul. Thank you Mert! See you soon.

Excellent stay in a coworking place. "Many people find themselves staying longer than expected"

I've enjoyed my stay in this hostel so much, to say the least. I've had the real hostel experience meeting people from all over the world and socializing with them and making new acquaintance. The hostel provides all the necessities for your comfort. The hostel gets cleaned so regularly that the number of people that come and stay doesn't affect the level of cleanness of the hostel. I liked the location of the hostel; it offers easy access to Sabiha airport by metro, the metro station is 3min away, as well as to the high-speed train station, a few bus stations away. Also, the hostel is located in a nice calm area so you get to enjoy a more authentic side of istanbul while also being close to everything using public transport. There's a grocery store under and restaurants around the place. The staff are very nice, helpful and flexible. I would definitely recommend it whether for long or short stays.

This is exactly one of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in Istanbul Turkiye! The place is strategical near bus and subway stop. Very quiet area with a supermarket just downstairs! The place is super clean, the staff are just amazing!! I felt welcomed since the first day i keep extending my stay because of how much i like this place! Definitely worth the money, even more! They staff are very helpful and very kind! Special thanks to Ikbar (I hope i didn’t say it wrong) and Mert!!
