Incredible friendly staff, always up for a chat and open to give suggestions. The location is perfect. Not directly in the most crowded street, so you don't have any outside noise. Cosy lobby where you can have breakfast and meet other travelers. I stayed in a 6 person dorm room and it was quite spaceous.

The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and the hostel is in a great location (just a few minutes walk from the heart of Kadikoy, and within walking distance of buses, trains, ferries and the metro). The garden is a nice additional space to have access to. My room (six bed mixed dorm) was spacious and had a small kitchenette, which was useful.

I had a good time at yolo, met some fellow solo travellers and had a nice night out nearby. It's a solid choice to stay on the Asian side when in Istanbul, it feels a bit more local than the European side of the city.

The location of the hostel was perfect either direction you go you’re close to everything. The ferry station and M metro to SAW airport are all within a 5-10 minute walk and in a very quiet part of Kadikoy. The bars are also about a 5-10 minute walk away. The beds are amazing, the room is huge, and curtains for privacy. The bathrooms are also located in the room as well. This is my go to hostel here in Istanbul, and it’s only getting better. Give the breakfast a try it’s amazing.

Amazing cozy hostel with great stuff and friendly international guests

The guy at the front desk was super helpful and nice with everything. Very friendly place.

Friendly staff, localisation, general vibe

Staff, cleanliness and accessibility to the city was incredible.

Really comfy and nice Hostel. One of the better i stayed in. I didn’t feel like socializing a lot and that worked good as well and i got my calm time. Tough if you feel like it there are good people and a nice garden to catch up with some folks - the vibe is really good.

Absolutely amazing private room, next to the roof-top. Thanks for unexpected upgrade, YOLO HOSTEL team!

Clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice area at the back and cafe area in the front for having a coffee and socialising with other travellers. Excellent area of Istanbul to stay - plenty of cafes and food options and not overly touristy.

Amazing hostel! Very close to Kadikoy metro and ferry station, tons of restaurants and cafes near by. What’s more - the staffs are amazing! They gave me amazing recommendations to Turkish music, food, culture, made me feel like home :) Will definitely be back if I ever travel to Asia side of Istanbul again :))))

The whole community areas are very well designed and the dorms are the perfect size. The staff and the location are absolutely amazing, will come back!

Friendly place, young stuff, excellent location, clean room - ideal for 2-3 days, perfect for the price. Strongly recommended.

One of my favourite hostels. Great location, clean and well thought-out rooms, mega comfy beds with curtains!! Friendly staff too. Would love to stay again and wish more hostels were like this. I was in a 6 bed female only dorm but it was spacious enough to feel like less people.

Great hostel located on the asian side of Istanbul. Close to many great restaurants, cafes, and bars. Close to the pier, which made it very easy to cross over to the European side. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
