    I think common areas can be more creative lively and enjoyable also entrance really makes you think twice I may quit without entering once you enter you will be convinced but prejudgment works mostly for many people, location without discussion gorgeous.

    This was My first real hostel experience once I stayed at Prague in a hostel but in the separate room part so I first time I stayed with unknowns in the same room. Sure it depends on the current guests but everyone is extremely careful , clean , respectful and friendly . The entrance made me a bit suspicious but when I enter the people and the ambience takes you onto the culture. Staff is great they love their job it’s apparent

    it’s often difficult to find a lighter to lite the stove, but Shiraz at reception was always there ready to loan me his own lighter and he really made my stay here, such a kind and helpful man.

    the best part about this hostel is the galley that is excellent for building teamwork and cooperation among the hostel residents

    BED BUGS! It was the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. My whole body is covered with bites from these bugs. I changed beds 4 times, three of which had bed bugs. They didn’t even cleaned the infected mattresses, they just put on new sheets for the next traveller.

    BED BUGS! Nothing. This whole place is a nightmare. I am not exaggerating. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

    They don’t clean anything. All the rooms are smelly. Bathrooms are in a miserable condition with urine spots all over the broken toilet seat. Floor is sticky and have human hair. The covers of the bed haven’t been washed for ages and the cover on top is greasy, i can’t describe the smell of it. I aksed for an extra pillow, they sprayed parfume on it, because it wasn’t clean. The bead sheets haven’t been also washed and the matrice is very vey old and haven’t been washed from blood stains since years. I haven’t slept all first night, and tried to contact booking.com to solve the problem. They changed the room and the next room had bed that are not stable and are leaning towards the floor, the room was also smelly and the floor have also human hair, they took care of the bathroom to stay clean so we won’t complain. We couldn’t stay in this miserable place, so i asked for a refund so we can stay in a another clean place, the owner refused even a partial refund and told me that “this is not a hotel, it’s the concept of a hostel that you don’t smell fresh bed sheets but the smell of others. And it’s not a school here to cry and complain”. I’ve stayed in various hostels all over europe, but I’ve never had this level of low hygiene, incompetence and ignorance. PLEASE stay away from this place and look for for hotels in fatih or sultanahmet area.

    The location is near Taksim square and istiklal street but reaching it ist really bad, because of the steep streets of istanbul. The street is really quite at night.

    the pictures don’t match the description at all. the hostel has not been renovated for a long time. some of the floor decks are broken and you can easily fall and hurt yourself. the walls are extremely thin. we could hear every step of the next-door neighbours and that didn’t let us sleep. the mattresses are old and thin. but the worst problem is that there’s no heating and we had to sleep wearing sweatshirts and pants. there’s no hot water in the hostel, so don’t expect to get any shower there. when we opened a dispute on booking, the hostel owner suggested us to pay extra to live on the floor with the heating and the hot water. the vacation was nearly ruined but thanks to booking.com that solved the problem pretty quickly and refunded us. we found a hostel that costed the same price but the quality was 100 times better.

    nothing. only one person on the reception was really kind
