+ 很一般!!

- 快跑!!!不知道评论里所谓的青旅天花板是怎么来的,纯纯刷的评论吧……,和普通青旅无差别,而且在亚洲区,要去欧洲区玩就住欧洲区,可以选择的更多还比这家便宜,还不用折腾这么远。想在亚洲区逛的就看下其他青旅吧。。没有被子只有浴巾能盖,半夜被冷醒。。。。没有窗帘,早上很亮。价格比欧洲区的青旅还贵。不理解……

+ I liked the facilities. The property is close to public transport that goes to SAW Airport. I liked that there is a camera in common areas, but did not like that a camera exists and records in private girls' rooms. Please see pictures as proof of this.

- I did not like that the owner had a camera only in the girl's room without getting permission from the girls to do so. This is not allowed in Turkey actually. The pictures have been uploaded as evidence of the illegal things that the accommodation does. The camera is also found in rooms where only one person lives. Feel free to see it in the pictures that I uploaded. It is not allowed to take videos of people without their permission. I did not like that the bed linen and pillows were not changed when I had a stay of 14 days and even if I booked again at the same place the bed linen and pillows were not changed. Lack of hot water occasionally. Only a room that has AC, otherwise he doesn't have it in the place as described. The beds are uncomfortable. It takes 2 hours by public transport to get to the city centre.

+ Jeg likte fasiliteter. Overnattingsstedet er i nærheten til offentlig transport som går til SAW-flyplass. Jeg likte at det er kamera i felles arealer, men likte ikke at kamera finnes i private jente rom.

- Jeg likte ikke at eieren hadde kamera bare på jente rom uten å få tillatelse fra jentene til å gjøre det. Dette er ikke tillatt i Tyrkia egentlig. Bildene er lastet opp som bevis på de ulovlige ting som overnattingsstedet gjør. Kameraet finnes også på rom der kun en person bor i. Se gjerne det i bildene som jeg lastet opp. Det er ikke lov å ta video av mennesker uten sin tillatelse. Jeg likte ikke at sengetøyet og putene ikke ble skiftet da jeg hadde opphold på 14 dager og selv om jeg bestilte igjen på samme stedet ble ikke sengetøyet og putene skiftet. Mangel på varmt vann av og til. Bare et rom som har AC, ellers har han ikke det på stedet som beskrevet. Sengene er ubehagelige. Det tar 2 timer med offentlig transport for å kunne komme til sentrum.

+ 施設はまだ新しい

- スタッフが適当で、エアコン付きの部屋を予約したにも関わらず、エアコンが無い部屋に行かされた。 朝ご飯も適当で説明ではチャイやコーヒーが付くとの話だったけど、出てこなかった。 9:00に朝食を食べられるようにお願いしたが、40分待たされた上に、パンと飲み物も無く、自分で食器を用意させられた。朝から最悪の気分で予定を潰された。

+ The only thing I liked was the location on the right side of the canal

- Well, for 50 euro you can find a better deal close to the city center very easily. Before I stayed for 30 in 1 bedroom apartments and it was much better than that hostel with just one room and common bathroom and shower. Walls made of drywall and not soundproof at all. You can hear people talking. Half of the power sockets in the room are not working at all cause of the cheap and moving walls. Bunk beds designed for kids because of the height between bunks and safety. Very easy to kick your head when you get up. After all the lines and other staff were laying on the bed that is, the bed is not made and you need to make it yourself. The only place I've seen unmade beds is on trains. So, think about booking that place cause it's not worth it. Cheaper option available in the city center and on the north of the city center

- The worst experience in more than 7 years of travel! I came because of the good reviews and I found a pitiful place! Very dirty, the hostel is on the 6th floor and the water does not reach there, that is why in the kitchen you can only use the water for 3 minutes to wash and then it stops working (there are always dirty things and people do not wash for this reason)! The same thing happens in the shower, you should put soap and shampoo on and turn off the water because it doesn't last more than 5 minutes! The bathrooms are always too dirty and there is no cleaning, and most of the time there is no toilet paper (especially in the afternoon/evening)! In the kitchen you must put your food in the refrigerator with your name, but that doesn't stop them from stealing from you! In my case, it was the same owner of the hostel who drank my beers and apologized, but it took him 4 days to replace them (that's how the owner of the place handles things)! The same thing, the refrigerator itself is a disaster, more than 35 people use it and they always put things on top of your food and it spoils or you can't take it easily! As for the rooms, it is impossible to rest or be quiet! I stayed in a room of 8 and slept with drunk people, who farted, belched and had no kind of respect! I asked to change the room to be with fewer people but nothing changed, the people who stay in the place are 85% Chinese and do not have any type of education or respect! The staff doesn't care much about the guests, I was there for 3 weeks and I couldn't change the sheets (you had to pay)…I don't know a place that works so badly! They also have problems (many and every day) with entrances and exits and it can happen that you go out to explore the city and when you return, someone else is in your bed because they sold the place and they change your bed, which is disastrous! Anyway, I didn't find anything good in the place...

I had a really great experience staying at this hostel. The facilities are excellent and everything feels very new and well maintained. Cleanliness was outstanding throughout my stay, which made it even more comfortable. The staff were incredibly kind and always willing to help, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. I also loved that they have a gym and dedicated office spaces to work from, which made it perfect for digital nomads like me. Overall, I felt very comfortable and would definitely re...

+ Price and space. We had the whole floor for us at the time, kitchen and freezer as well. There is an option to watch movies at Cinema (big screen) using your own laptop.

- It was too cold outside of our room where we had an AC. Can be too cold to use shower in winter time No lock on our room, they have only the code lock for the floor. I would add the system with keys too. We had our locker but it stays outside of the room and not that secure.

+ I stayed there for a week during low season. The place is great, conveniently located near metro and bus stops. It was easy to find with the instructions sent. The area is quiet and friendly, with different facilities, shops, places to eat. I didn't have any problems. It was easy to travel to both, center, and outlets (one nearby, one near the airport) and to Sabina airport. There are working spaces and kitchen available. If I need to stay on Asian side, I would choose this place again.
