Just FYI: I have no idea about the facilities hostel provides, however 
hostel area is quite near to one of the liveliest streets (ie to drink a 
coffee / beer + have waterpipe / entertainment /..) in Sultanahmet and 
Blue Mosque for those interested. Going to the conference center 
requires you to take the tram first, for which you have to walk for, 
say, 10-15 mins. Should not be an issue for dynamic & young GNOME ppl ;-)
