đčđ· Istanbul Solo Trip: 3 Hostels Review (Female-Friendly!) đ
Traveling solo in Istanbul? Hereâs my honest review of three hostelsâperfect for backpacking sisters! 1ïžâŁ Gafa Garden (New European Quarter) đ Hidden in Istiklal Streetâs alleys (ring bell + go to 2nd floor). â Pros: Super central! Comfy beds + free breakfast. Quiet vibe, great sleep. â Cons: Narrow stairs (suitcases = struggle!). Kitchen access unclear. â Rating: 4.5/5 2ïžâŁ Wabi (New European Quarter) đ 1km from Gafa, near Taksim Square. â Pros: Social rooftop bar (amazing views!). Easy to meet travelers. Small but cozy 4-bed dorms. â Cons: Tiny rooms, high bunk beds. Laundry = 200âș (ouch!). No kitchen. â Rating: 4/5 3ïžâŁ Manu Startup House (Asian Side) đ Chill zone, far from tourist spots. â Pros: Full kitchen (cook your meals!). Budget-friendly (near BIM supermarket). Laid-back, many Chinese travelers. â Cons: Not for sightseeingâbest for digital nomads. â Rating: 3.5/5 đĄ Final Tip Short stay? Pick Gafa or Wabi (better location!). Long stay/lazy days? Manuâs your spot! #SoloTravel #HostelLife #Istanbul #GirlsWhoTravel
