Small, clean and secure, Bahaus stands in stark and welcome contrast to the huge institutional-style hostels on nearby Akbıyık Caddesi. The four- to 14-bed dorms (including two female-only options) have curtained bunks with good mattresses, reading lights and lockers; they can be hot in summer. Top marks go to the plentiful bathrooms, entertainment program and rooftop terrace bar.
