Levanten Hostel

No longer exists. Take this listing down.

Property was locked and vacant when I arrived. The phone didn’t work and there was no response to my emails. Don’t book this hostel or use this website.

Pictures are 100% PHOTOSHOPED or even fake. Bathroom stinks, not clean at all, water coming up from the “broken” floor. Extremely old place, completely different of what they show. I booked a Private Room that is definitely not what they sell on Hostelworld. At 2:30am people smashing doors that LITERALLY shakes the whole building (I meant the walls, yes). I am actually writing this in the middle of the night. Pics of the living room are quite accurate. Kitchen is not really a hostel kitche...

The location is ok. staff were not unpleasant but unfazed by the disrepair of the hostel. The rooms were not lockable and the lockers were not all whole. The beds were literally falling apart and collapsing. The rooms were dirty. The bathroom was disgusting with rotting wood around the bath that was meant to be a shower too. The photographer for this was very good at hiding it all. Well done him/her on the editing skills. I left after a night and gave up my extra night just to be out of there.

I dont recommend this to anyone.. Washroom is smelly,not clean...

mould next to windows and doors and underside of bunk bed. disgusting shower and toilet. no lockers and no towels provided. no key to room given. horrible smell in corridor from shoes which were in a plastic bag out whole stay. upstairs toilet had a p** in it the whole stay, flush didn't work but clearly not cleaned? mugs unclean. not enough charging points for people in the room. no bin in the room. mould in the bathroom. charging points hanging from ceiling wrapping in tape - seemed dangerous.

- Il y a un abîme entre les photos mises sur le site et la découverte des chambres sur place - Le niveau de propreté et de salubrité n'y est pas - excessivement cher donc pour la prestation fournie - seul l'emplacement de l'hébergement vaut le détour

Owner has committed fraud against me because I chose to leave because the kitchen was dirty, grotty and so small, I couldn't stand up straight in it. He's charged me for a full stay, which makes him a criminal. Avoid. Also, pictures don't match the hostel. It's old, small, quiet and unsociable.

The only good thing you can say about this place is the friendly staff at the reception. The place looks creepy, it doesn't seem clean at all, and it's in a very old building. The bathroom is not in good condition either. It's not worth a dollar you pay; it's very overpriced for this kind of hostel. I have stayed in many, many hostels, and this is by far the worst one! I just don't know how all those high-ranking recommendations ended up here. I will never book it again.

Terrible Hostel. DONT GO. I ve been to many hostels in the world , this one is maybe THE worst. The building is neglected. It is not soundproof at all, in the night you could hear people talking like they are in the same room. There were people smoking in the rooms. The common toilet was leaking was leaking and it looked so bad ! When I arrived the guy at the reception demanded to be paid only in cash!! After I checked out he cancelled my reservation so he could skip paying hostelword. DONT ...

This hostel is in a great location. It was a great chance for me to stay in a clean and safe hostel for such an affordable price.

Perfect hostel near taksim square.

It has a very friendly atmosphere, we became friends with the staff and the hostel owner. I had booked for 2 days but stayed for 12 days.

The property doesn’t look anything like the photos

Someone went into my room and stole around 500 euros from inside my bag which was inside another bag. I was in a private room. Hostel pictures are SO misleading. The place is not clean and it doesnt look like the pictures. Place is worn down and poorly maintained. My bed cover smelled so dusty. However, the owner working the front desk is super nice and gentle but this isnt worth a lot when all your money gets taken. Avoid this place at any cost.

Great place to meet fellow travelers, the reception desk is really helpful. Overall a nice, cozy place to live.

The receptionist was amazing, kind and friendly.

Great location we had a lovely experience. Our booking was for just one night but we extended our stay.

Cute spot, location is good staff is kind. In general, the hostel is good and recommended.

I could not have asked for more it was amazing.Super location and friendly staff.

Good location has friendly staff and it’s overall very clean. Highly recommend!

It’s affordable Hostel in a great location but if you’re looking for something more than you can pay more and stay somewhere else.

Perfect Hostel with amazing staff. I had a lovely time, and definitely i will be back.

it was a okay to stay but there are some cons like the cleanliness and the quality of the beds are not good enough other than that it is okay i think.

Very good the hostel in everything

Place needs more cleaning. Bathroom showers don’t drain well.
