No es como en las fotos, está sucio y huele muy mal. Pero si solo vas a dormir ahí, por el precio, lo justifica. La ubicación es por lo único que vale la pena, el personal si fue muy atento y amable.

I had a fantastic stay here! The location is perfect for exploring Istanbul, but what really made the difference was the service. A huge shoutout to Reza, who was incredibly kind and went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend!

The bathroom was routinely left as as if a swimming pool, only mopped once x day and thus routinely filthy. The microwave was filthy and plainly unhygienic before I set to and expended 0.5hr thiroughly cleaning it outside, inside tray and turntable - before I could use it to cook and then consume food cooked in it. The cause: long term residents lack of basic hygiene or self responsibility to clean up after their usage of facilities. As a 1x night Venue - if one must, otherwise avoid it.

Definitely a terrible place, it’s not a dormitory it’s just a basement of a building, not windows, no lights, really , , I was not able to sleep at all because the bed was full of insects or something I have not idea, the bedsheets was smelly, extremely noisy cuz the cars all night can hear from a little hole ( windows) near to the kitchen that it’s inside of the room, honestly I hope not body suffered as I was in this hostel, I don’t wanna arruine they business, I just hope they impro...

Kitchen and bathroom always dirty and two guys always sleeping in that area and around 5 an making noise with the cellphones watching series or playing some games without the headphones waking me up. Because between the room and the bathroom and kitchen is not a door you can hear everything. Same the guys who were sleeping in the room but that not hostel wrong of course. Not recommend this hostel if you wanna make friends or you travel alone most of the man's were locals and not sure why they...

1. It’s very hard to find the hostel reception as there is no sign 2. The bathroom was in a terrible condition, very dirty and looked unsanitary, stains all over the toilet seat 3. The common room in the basement stank from the garbage from the outside, that’s my guess but there was definitely some foul smell 4. The reception was fair to me as I had to leave and refunded 2/3 of my payment If the hostel actually resembled anything what you can see in the pictures, it would be perfectly fi...

Good price, but there is only 1 bathroom and it does not have a lock (?!). Should be fixed. And the bathroom was very dirty. Great location though.

The place is located in the basement with a very loud elevator engine in the middle of the hostel. Bathroom is horrible. To get out of the shower you have to step over the toilet. Consequently you barely have space to sit on the toilet as well. The room does not have doors, meaning you hear everything from the elevator to people at the entrance. When it comes to cleanliness, they could definitely do more about it.

Sehr sehr nettes Personal! Ist stehts da für Hilfe, man kann sich auch sehr gut unterhalten. Die Betten sind bequem und sauber. Der Gemeinschaftsraum ist super um andere kennzulernen. Einziges Kriterium ist das Bad, es ist sehr klein und man muss sich etwas hin und her quetschen. Ansonsten sehr zufrieden!
