Van Backpackers Hostel

Great hostel, amazing staff! People running this hostel are super nice, both teams morning and evening, areas are clean, prices are fair, and there’s really a good ambiance in the common areas. Would recommend.

In the middle of the city with young and friendly staff. They offer you a bed, their kind hearts and helpful tips for exploring the city and surrounding. Has the loveliest cafe ever! I also love the interior design.

It is a good hostel. Although the staff speaks limited English, they are helpful. If they only would stop smoking in the common room... Great neighborhood with lots of choices for low priced Turkish food!

Me and my friend had a trip to turkey a week ago for nowruz vacations. We reserved this hostel for a night and we had a great night eve with hospitable receptions. They help us to enjoy our night eve. The rooms was really clean and the reception was really friendly.

Safe and affordable place to spend a couple of nights to discover Van and surrounding areas. Female and male dorms, also private rooms with shared bathrooms. Bathrooms doors doesn't work properly. There is a cafe upstairs where you can spend some time. Helpful staff and fair wifi.

I believe this is the first hostel in Eastern Turkey. Super clean, comfortable bed, big room and well located in the city center.? Even in winter time, the hostel is warm in every corner. ? I really enjoy my time when staying there ? Some staffs are quite helpful. It would be great that there's more Kurdish culture things in the hostel. Pity that smoking is allowed in the reception area. ?

This hostel has both private rooms and dormitory rooms, and the prices for more than one person are quiet similar. This hostel's price is reasonable, not expensive, and not cheap. Our room was big and spacious and also included good pieces of equipment like wardrobe and coffee table and etc. It also had 2 big sofas. Another good thing was the room's private balcony, it doesn't provide you with a good view, but still gives you fresh air. The kitchen and bathrooms are shared. It's good that you can use the stove, but the bad thing is that it's downstairs and exactly next to the counter, you might feel a bit uncomfortable while cooking and waiting in front of the receptionist. The hostel's location is also good. It's located near the city center and shopping centers, you can find some kinds of transportation on the street nearby, called Cemhuriyet. You can get a shared taxi from Cemhuriyet to most of the places in the city easily.

Exactly what you'd expect from a hostel, really well made, and location is good too. The reception and all staff were very friendly and speak English. Dormitory (6 or 8) for 50 TL, also private rooms available. No breakfast. Good WiFi. Laundry is additional 10 TL and they helped me with washing and drying. There were lockers in the room, but not locking with key (I don't know why), anyways, everything was calm and safe. Shower with hot water. The hallways and rooms are beautifully decorated. Also they have a great cafe/terrace on top with games and shishas. Will gladly stay again!
