Manu Startup House

This hostel is a hidden gem! I booked it for a short overnight stay because it's conveniently located on the direct M4 metro line to Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) Airport. I arrived around midnight and was warmly welcomed by Mert, who was both friendly and professional. We had a great conversation about education and travel. The place was incredibly clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. I wish I could have stayed longer—perhaps next time I’m back in Istanbul! The only downside is that the bathrooms and showers are not en-suite. Both male and female guests share the same shower area, while the toilets are separated but located in the same large room. A perfect stay: short and sweet.

Very nice and clean for solo travellers looking for a shared room

It’s clean Enough space for hanging out with others here Good experience

The hostel was easy to get to from the airport (i used subway). It is located around 3km from the pier and it turned out to be a little far for me. Rooms are quite spacious, has pmenty of coworking space and stable wi-fi. Kitchen could be cleaner. All in all it was a good value for money.

At first it was difficult to find but later the location seemed good. The location of the hotel is on the sixth floor. The receptionist was also very polite. The hostel is clean. There are many common spaces where you can relax, although I didn't use the kitchen once but it seemed clean. Will definitely visit again.

Even though I booked one bed in 4 people, the hostel does not have 4 people room. Rooms are smelling very bad. Not recommended
