Hush Hostel Lounge

Why volunteer at Hush Hostel?

Because it’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s where travelers, creatives, and locals connect.

Hush Hostel is located right in the heart of Kadıköy, one of Istanbul’s most vibrant and artistic districts. You’ll be close to all the must-see spots, with easy access to ferries, metros, and endless cafes, bars, and live music venues.

We’ve got a nice mix of guests from all over the world, and a chill but responsible atmosphere. Our volunteer team is small and friendly — usually helping with housekeeping, café shifts, and sometimes supporting events or creative projects.

You won’t just be working — you’ll be part of the hostel family, sharing meals, stories, and good energy. If you’re reliable, social, and open to new experiences, this is a great place to feel at home while discovering the real Istanbul.

Bring your vibe, your skills, and your curiosity. We’re always excited to meet volunteers who want to contribute and grow with us. 🌿

About us & how we treat our volunteers At Hush Hostel, we try to keep things simple: good vibes, open minds, and mutual respect. We're a small team who genuinely care about creating a warm and inspiring space for both guests and volunteers. Our common areas are where people come together — whether it’s sharing a meal in the guest kitchen, jamming with instruments in the lounge, or just relaxing in the garden with a cup of tea. We’ve got yoga sessions, a sunny terrace with city views, and plenty of space to chill or connect. As a volunteer, you’ll be treated like part of the team — not just a worker. We value your time, your input, and your well-being. We believe in clear communication, fair shifts, and making sure you enjoy your experience just as much as our guests do. We're a mix of locals and travelers ourselves, and we love learning from everyone who walks through the door. If you bring positive energy, a bit of responsibility, and an open heart, you’ll fit right in here. Check out the vibes on Instagram @hushistanbul ✨

Hush was a really cool spot to explore Istanbul and meet lots of new people. The work wasn't exactly what I expected, just in the sense that it was very chill and slow majority of the time. However, there was plenty to do and experience in the area. I would definitely recommend Hush and hope to revisit in the future

I loved my time at Hush! I spent a lot of time in the garden discussing with other travelers and volunteers. Our shifts of 6h were usually shorter so we had a lot of time to discover the city and the neighborhood which is really nice. You will not be alone at Hush as there is usually people in the garden or in the hostel. Also, Burak is a very good manager and is flexible if you want to ask for favors!

I had the best time at Hush Hostel! It’s the perfect place for volunteers, as there’s a great sense of community with both volunteers and hostel guests, and it’s located in the best area of Istanbul (Kadiköy). I highly recommend this position. Thank you Burak and Ilker for choosing me as a volunteer and making sure we all had such an amazing experience in Istanbul.

Hush Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The manager, Burak, helped me get acclimated and gave me freedom to create unique event offerings for the guests and staff. I felt supported every step of the way. I’m sad to be leaving such a wonderful team.
