It was the best Hostel ever, cheapest I'm Istanbul and better than I expected, so cheap breakfast and dinner included, 24 hour cafe and reception, clean and quiet in a center of the city, near metro station and Teksim Meydan, Highly recommend//

I stayed here for one night and it was, without a doubt, this place is dirty no air and don’t smell good And so small I strongly advise—especially solo female travelers—to stay away. The hostel claims to be pet-friendly, but when I arrived with my cat, they told me I had to separate from her and leave her on the freezing roof overnight. This is inhumane and completely contradicted their policy. In the morning, a male staff member entered the female-only room multiple times without permi...

Staff was friendly but tried to overcharge me initially. The sheets and pillowcase on my bed were clearly very old with pilling and stains. The showers have mould, are super dirty and have a toilet one step away so the whole space gets soaked - some of the doors don't close and some showers only had cold water. Breakfast is for a fee and the cafe at the hostel is always closed. They also don't allow outside food in the hostel and make you sign a contract before paying. Staff were very nice tho

Hello, recently been to this place - good! Very good location comparing to other hostels. Stuff is friendly and helpful. Room was full of people but still it was quiet. Will consider to come back next time.

The place was terrible and not as shown in the pics. The rooms were dirty, the showers didn't work and were rusty. The stairway was stinky. I have moved out immediately by seeing those even though it's non refundable. I would definitely not recommend this property to anyone.

Well it's cheap.. you get what you pay for. The dorm feels unsettling but free breakfast and dinner may compensate for that. Maybe it feels better during summer idk. You also get your locker without which I may not stay. David at the reception desk was very helpful and polite, thanks for that.)

Es un buen lugar para pasar una noche. Tiene una habitación con varias literas y el baño compartido para 10 o más personas. Te exigen pagar un locker para guardar tus pertenencias y evitar robos dentro del cuarto, ese pago incluye toalla, papel higiénico, té y un dulce. Este es un hostal tipo albergue. El personal muy amable, pero no me sentí muy segura.

I'm not giving it 0 stars because don't exist. Until this morning, my review was going to be 4 stars, considering the bed was, at some point, passable.The male staff at the hostel are a complete disaster. They treat you badly; I was on the terrace, they said it was closed and they turned off the light immediately without giving me time, I had to leave in the dark through the stairs.This morning (November 25th at 10 am) the receptionist, a guy named Elsim (if that's even his name, which I doubt),...

It was a horrible Time. Checked in at Midnight, I want to pay with card, doesn't work, lady at reception says I have to pay 200 TL for the locker in advance. I then say I'll bring tomorrow morning. Breakfast was included, according to the description, had to pay 2x50 TL extra. I go to the ATM, pickup money, give the money to another receptionist. He didn't even want to write me that I paid. Departure the next morning, breakfast late. Checkout, just keep the 200TL . Never again,

i had just 1 night here. its ok for the price. terrace upstairs nice with all the fun little cats. staff in reception friendly. But the whole place needs to be sanitized, the bathrooms are awful, everything broken. Location is not good, better hostels in the city and pay a bit more.

Sur plus d’une vingtaine testés, c’est de loin le pire hostel dans lequel je sois allé. L’atmosphère est horrible, c’est ultra sale, et le personnel est désagréable au possible. Il est interdit de ramener sa propre nourriture, car il faut obligatoirement consommer au restaurant de l’hostel… Et bien sûr, tout est payant, même pour ranger ses affaires dans un casier, situé en dehors de la chambre ! À fuir absolument !!
