Sultan Hostel is located in Old Istanbul along a street of many hostels. I counted myself unlucky in finding this section of town so late in my stay as the area is full of other (young) travellers looking to mix it up.
It is a nice enough establishment. Staff are courteous and professional. Free Internet access can be had from either of two public terminals as well as wi-fi. The service was good.
The hostel's restaurant is top notch with comfortable seating, atmosphere, and customer service. Loved the bread and tomato soup.
If you elect for the large (cheapest) dormitory be warned: It is cold, dark, noisy, unbearable. The large barracks style room is painted black and has minimal light fixtures so the room remains dark. It is unheated which makes for a large minus during non-summer times (although you can request a blanket).
Another serious drawback to sleeping in this room was that a mouse (mice?) scurried actively in the walls. It made for a creepy experience; something better suited to a Halloween excursion.
