Sanat Hostel & Caravan Taksim

Please please please don't get fooled by the rating of 10.0 it's a bluff. I booked based on rating but that's my biggest mistake. The staff don't speak English at all, check-in was difficult rooms are ok-ish they don't even give me a free towel and said you have to pay extra for that but later I got to know its free, not very good toilets are horrible, not cleaned, and sometime out-of-toilet paper breakfast is bad overall place is smelly they use cheap floor cleaner, so you will suffoca...

Als je een onrustige nacht fijn vind... Teveel lawaai tot vroeg in de ochtend

The location is in the middle of taksim, which is surrounded for many many bars, super noisy room (until 3 am), the room wasn’t clean enough, there were rats. There isn’t atmosphere at all, there isn’t a place to hang out . It is like a bar with rooms, doesn’t feel like a hostel. The owner and the employees were nice, but very hard to find them and they barely speak English. The bed was comfy, the room is very spacious and Brekky was good.

It's a huge hostel, however private room has access from shared room, near weekends the music in their lounge, others bars near by it's so loud... in 9 days could see lots of people leaving the hostel coz of it. Hostel has a really privileged location in Taksim. Check out procedures, they don't have a control over that so it's a bit messy and last cleanliness, I would rate it 3,5/10 as I got fungus in my feet from the shared shower that is not properly cleaned every day.

Didn’t stay there, the person at the reception was rude and told me to stay in female room with around 10 beds but I booked 6 beds room. I checked both and the humidity level was super high and the bathrooms were stinky. People smoke inside the building.

There's a pervasive smell of cigarette smoke because people are allowed to smoke inside the building. This didn't frighten the mosquitoes though, plenty on the second night. Security is non existent. There's no locks on the doors, dorms are connected, the receptionist is rarely at his desk. The showers all have one problem or another but there are plenty of them. There's no kitchen. The staff are relatively friendly . The beds are comfy. The view from the terrace bar is nice. Location is great.

Excelente ubicación!

Muy buena ubicación cerca de Taksim, la torre de Gálata y el transporte público, excelente lugar para hacer amistades, la atención del personal muy amable, la comida deliciosa y la seguridad en la habitación muy confiable.

Everything was great, perfect location and friendly staff! We enjoyed our stay here, and would highly recommend it. Our only notes for future backpackers, is the entrance to our private room was through a dorm room. And we had a back door that lead to a fire escape that didn’t lock.
