From my room at least - excellent view of Istanbul from high standpoint, specially at night.
simple, clean and friendly
This hostel is just in the middle of old city and trendy area of istanbul (istiklal street, tunnel)... The staff were really helpful and full of good tips... Their music selection was amazing... i will definitely stay again.
cleanliness of rooms, bathrooms were also perfect. i recommend this homely hostel to everybody...
Lovely clean hostel, helpful staff, great sized rooms and bathrooms. Good luggage store. Really it's a fab place! Breakfasts are amazing.
The hostel is really well located, just around the corner of Galata Tower and Tünel with all the bars and restaurants, but also very close to Sultanahmet district. The three friends, who are running this place,
are very nice and helpful. The building had been refurbished with a lot of attention to the detail. The
room (2-bed) is a good size and the mattresses very comfortabel. the bathroom is fitted with a spacious
shower.
Rapunzel is located centrally in Istanbul. It only takes a few minutes to walk to Istiklal Street (Taksim)
or down to the Galata-bridge. The 3 friends are great and you feel a friend as soon as you arrive,
I invited them to stay at my place when in Belgium. Clean rooms, perfect - take your cay or coffee
yourself - breakfast and the only place in Turkey were you enjoy the music while eating it.
really friendly and helpful staff, clean, nice rooms, good breakfast, brilliant location
Just returned from our 2010 family summerholiday through Eastern Europe....thinking back on Rapunzel as the most pleasant place to stay of all. Now, as we have many other hostels to compare with, I can see
that Rapunzel is really working on developing the good atmosphere, the feeling of home in the big/ busy/
dirty and lovely city of Istanbul and first of all contributing to the friendship between nationalities and
religions (a tough task these days!) In Rapunzel the three hosts show that there must be a connection
between "host" and "hospitality" and you seem to me as the best representatives of the meeting
of west and east, as the bon mot of Istanbul. During our stay you put up posters asking for the important
inspirations of our lives...so we worked on that for a night, my daughter, wife and I - and we had good
discussions from that. An untraditional approach that shows you are constantly working on developing
the hostel, not only as a place to stay, but as a place to live and exchange....your idea of sharing
inspirations is great. Apart from that your rooms, beds, the daylight, your kindliness whenever asked,
your breakfast, your bathrooms are great....al that is essential when you travel and want to be near
people and the heartbeat of the city.
the property is really cool and is in a nice area to stay. the staff is awesome and the common rooms are very chill. it's a little ways from the other backpacker hostels which is nice. there's easy access from here
to all of istanbul.
Brand new hostel. Very great, good value for money. For sure If I come back to Istanbul it is the
place I would stay
good location near Galata Tower. The hostel is small but therefore is also very cosy. It was clean, breakfast was very tasty and staff helpful and friendly. I can for sure recommend it!
An excellent hostel away from the hassles of Sultanamet. Comfortable beds, good breakfasts, an
fantastic music selection and very friendly, helpful owners.
just in the middle of old city and entertainment. Cleanness and breakfast was perfect, i couldn't leave
the hostel in the mornings because the music was also great. i definitely recommend anybody on earth
this hostel. i already missed the staff they were very helpful and gave very interesting tips of istanbul.
If i`ll stay in a hostel ,i focus on two things: Cleanness & Location. These two were perfect in Rapunzel. Moreover, friendly staff make your life really easy. They are very eager to help...Guys;go there! ``You
CAN always get what you want`` in RAPUNZEL!:)
very friendly people nice breackfast very good music comfortable location... thank you very much!
Excellent stay, very well located hostel, good turkish breakfast!
its about 2 month now since i stayed at rapunzel, forgot to write, but wont forget the stay there: located
in the heart of istanbul, close to everything, clean rooms, but most of all the very helpful, friendly and in
every way unique people. we stayed longer as planned, but could have stayed much longer. thanks
again for the sangria and the excellent turkish dinner!
Excellent location at the heart of Istanbul, easy to reach anything. Very friendly and helpful staff
Great atmosphere, the friendliest two guys are running this hostel! Good location near Galata Tower.
en parasız dönemimizde süper fiyatlarıyla rapunzelistanbul imdadımıza yetişti.ne kadar şanslıyız ki rapunzelistanbul sayesinde keşfettik hostel olayını. bundan sonra artık kurak ankara'dan sıkılıp istabul
hasretimiz başladıgında parasızlıgı dert etmeye gerek yok! artık adresimiz rapunzelistanbul!
very nice hostel at great location. the staff were more than excellent.
The tiny hostel is central, perfectly located next to the Galata tower, but also very quiet. We liked the sound of the muezzins at night! The staff is relaxed, very friendly and always helpfull. They really enjoy having guests. The view from the upper room is just marvellous. Generally we have felt at home and like to remember. It is a good choice for Beyoglu!
Very central hostel, but also quite. its a 2. min far to istiklal caddesi. much better compare the ones in sultanahmet. you are thinking get out at night, this is the right hostel. I felt like at home. we become bro's with the staff. definetely recommend this hostel.
Went here with my türkish friend and we both loved the atmosphere the humble helpfull staff. It was really nice and clean no doubt about that and so quiet accept the stars who nearly killed us, but see we are still alive and kicking a nice memory richer.....

this place is really very clean. centrally located especially if you like to go out at nights. i can recom-mend it to everyone.
Bora and Selen Are so kind persons I really appreciate their behaviour and help for my stay. I hope their business Will really increase and the Rapunzel will grow until they wanto To bring it !! Good luck and take care ! Ciao
New place, convenient location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, had a good stay here and would recommend this hostel, especially if you want something central but not in tourist-infested Sultanahmet.
The staff were very helpful with us, even resolving me a problem that was not their duty at all. The hostel is very good to those who want to stay near the trendy area. The Hostel is unpretentious, but clean, with a relax ambiance. The breakfast is not the best nor abundant. I definitely recommendit. For the relation price/facilities they offer wound be very difficult to find a better choice.
Stay at Rapunzel hostel istanbul is very nice. I enjoyed to stay there with a good staff, clean, cheap and a nice view.
Everyone should stay at Rapunzel when they go visit Turkey !! High security, only a few min. away from all the public transportation stations, very convenience. And you will meet the nicest people there :)
New; sheets and facilities are very clean; charming, minimalist decor; very convenient location, minutes away from Asmalimescit and Galata Bridge. Quiet and laid back; Staff were friendly and helpful.
had a wonderful time in istanbul and rapunzel! very good location and clean rooms. also a great thank you for the tips you gave us! i definitely will come back!
This place is lovely and the owners are very sweet. Really clean, staff will give to tips on everything and really try to place. New hostel in istanbul , so it's really clean and close to going out where the turks go out - not the tourist area! I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for making my stay fun and lovely!
had a great time definitely will come back. thank you for all the great suggestions about the city and the cafes and bars. Breakfast was also fabulous wish you all the best
Kahvaltı da süperdi; hostel de süperdi...
hayırlı ugurlu olsun efenim
