Philosophy

At the front desk, you’ll be greeted by Anvar, a passionate basketball and chess enthusiast from Turkmenistan, who envisions a world without borders. Bora, our receptionist hailing from Adana, is not just a lover of music and tattoos but also a deeply spiritual person. Zeynep, our talented barista from İstanbul, not only crafts the perfect brew but also aspires to be a nurse, driven by her love for nature and a vision for equal opportunities. Lastly, Maryam, our dedicated housekeeper from Ghana, dreams of becoming the best in her field as a future dentist, fueled by her love for reading.

Drawing inspiration from his journeys, Okan envisioned a hostel that transcends conventional lodging, resembling an archeological museum. Located in Tophane/Karakoy, Archeo invites you to experience hospitality through a lens of exploration and cultural immersion, where every corner tells a story, and each stay is a voyage through time.
