Archeo Café and Hostel embodies our passion for history, art, and travel.
Founded by Okan Sertoglu, an industrial engineer with two decades of white-collar experience, Archeo Café and Hostel is the embodiment of his passion for history, art, and travel. 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.
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.
We love meeting new people and exchanging experiences.
More than a hostel.
To enhance your stay, Archeo features a cafe and workshop, catering to digital nomads and social butterflies. The Archeo Cafe, adorned with replica arts such as Altamira paintings, reliefs, and sculptures, offers an authentic menu with 3rd wave coffee and delectable desserts. The Archeo Workshop conducts special courses and training in English.
