Formerly known as Wabi Hostels (and before that Bunk Hostel), it now trades as The Central House Istanbul Taksim (Hostelworld, same address). It's in Elmadağ, about ten minutes uphill from Taksim Square, and since a 2018 refit reviewers find it clean for a hostel. The rooftop is the breakfast room by day and a pub by night, with free sangria on Wednesdays at 21:00 (Sept 2025). A bed for around US$14–15 a night is rare in Istanbul these days.
