The latest crop of designer hostels

#Bunk, Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul's only design-led hostel chain #Bunk recently opened its first property in the bohemian district of Beyoğlu. Comprising 32 beds arranged over 11 rooms, which include dormitories and a handful of small double rooms (some of which are ensuite), the hostel features stunning ceiling motifs based on mosque interiors, and marble bathrooms. Hang out in the café, or soak with new friends in the rooftop hot tub called the #bunkbath. Another, much larger #Bunk hostel with 170 beds, a pizzeria, bar and sundeck is due to open in June in Istanbul. The reasonable rates also include wifi and breakfast.
