Second home hostel is warm and friendly, and exactly like the name: it’s like coming home. I had the most wonderful time and met amazing people. The staff was very welcoming and took us out to Princes Island and other trips :) We got a lot of useful and nice recommendations for both sides of Istanbul! The dinner is amazing, big shoutout to the rice that’s special and marvelous every single night! We had a dance party in the common room downstairs and played fun games on the rooftop terrace. There is even a pub crawl for the party people 🕺🏽🕺🏽 I was staying here one year ago and I loved staying there again. Would recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul. The location is also very nice, near the old centre and near all kinds of public transport (tram, bus, ferry). It was a wonderful stay. Thank you 🧡
