Tek gece sınav yerime yakın bir yer olduğu için kaldım. Gece hayatının yakın olduğu bir yer, konumun avantajı var tabii ama gece yarısı sokaktan ses gelmesi normal karşılanabilir. Oda içerisindeki yatak örtüsü, dolaplar, banyo ve yerler temizdi. Yatak rahattı. Girişte mutfak kısmında kendi yemeğinizi hazırlamak dışında ücretsiz çay ve kahve imkanı da var. Karşılaştığım çalışan 2 beyefendi ile iletişimimiz olumluydu. Teşekkürler

The owner of the hostel was very friendly and helpful. As the stuff. +Has a kitchen. -very old matrases - old equipment -a public house with male sexworkers is just under. Which means that all night someone is shouting, someone is chasing someone and sleeping is imposible. If you are sensitive to the enviroment I wouldnt recommend. Had a very hard sleepless night there before my flight.

Helpful staff, good location, felt safe particularly with 24 hour reception, very clean, towels provided, kitchen well equipped. The common space was really nice. Apparently it's only private rooms. It wasn't very social at the time (late October).

The hostel was on a street with many people being loud 24 hours days and behavior that coincides with hustlers and street walkers. The good thing was the people working at the hostel would buzz me in the second I rang without a pause so I never waited at the door. The atmospheres felt very aged and cramped but appeared clean. Very basic dishes available with a fudge to store food. Towels were provided. No elevator. Located walking distance of a few blocks from major business streets and metro.

Taxim Hostel is exactly the kind of place I look for when I'm travelling solo. Cheap, affordable rooms with basic amenities (en suite shower and toilet) and no pointless luxuries, plenty of privacy, friendly, helpful staff, and located right in the heart of the city with absolutely loads of great bars and restaurants a stone's throw away. It's noisy at night, but that's all part of this area's buzzing and lively character. I'll definitely be staying here again when I come back to Istanbul.

The place is ok, no real hostel vibe, the worker I mainly spoke to was grumpy, vague and not very helpful.

The hostel owners were very friendly! I was travelling with my bicycle and they made room so that I could store it inside. Also it was no problem to store my luggage and keep making use of the facilities on my day of departure. And apart from that we had really nice conversations!

This hostel has a very chilled and homey vibe with good facilities. The staff are really friendly and it’s great value for money overall. It’s not an ideal location if you are a light sleeper since the hostel is in the party area and there’s a lot of noise at night, and it’s next door to a brothel. But I would feel safe staying here even as a solo female traveller, and recommend if you’re looking for a cheap and comfy place to stay.
