I am completely satisfied with my stay in the hostel. The staff is just friendly there is nothing say more. Location depends on what do you like, for being familiar with Istanbul just perfect - everything is easily accessible from the location. Namely location self is interesting for enjoying days in Istanbul. Next time I will definitely will stay there.

The hostel is in the best location with an awesome Nargile Bar just down the lane. Breakfast was great and staff helpful. The rooms were quite loud at night but comfy beds made up for it. Lockers in the room were secure. The shower was average and blocked drain not cleaned. Would recommend though.

Hi, Thank you for your feed back. The pictures on the website coresponds to 4 persons rooms. You reservation was for a five persons room. As you know we didn't put another persons in your room, so you could just stay with your friends as favor from our part. Bye, Chambers of the Boheme

Location is amazing. Rates are cheap. Owner is nice. Free traditional Turkish breakfast (hard boiled egg, bread, tomatoes, cucumber). No complaints.

I had a really great experience staying here. The location is brilliant, right in the centre of the city, which is Istiklal and NOT Sultanahmet! It's a minute walk to Istiklal Caddesi (Istanbul's main street) and really easy to get to all the major tourist site across the Golden Horn in Sultanahmet. You're in the middle of the real Istanbul, where locals go out, loads of bars, clubs, shops and restaurants. But most of all, the staff are great - really friendly and helpful. Stay here.

Great location surrounded by shopping, nightlife and restaurants. The staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. Music from the neighborhood's nightlife was loud when trying to fall asleep but we it was good local music so we enjoyed being able to hear it.

Had a great time. There wasn't much of a social environment inside the hostel, it was quiet and easy. The location was great, though obviously very noisy. Maybe the hostel could offer earplugs? Staff was friendly and available.

An atmospherhic hostel with excellent staff who are always willing to help you out. Chambers of the Boheme is situated in a great area, next to plenty of alternative cafes and shops and only a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping street. The cafe\bar area downstairs provides a common area for travellers and along with it, a great place to make new friends! The hostel was very clean and secure and I would definately reccommend it to other travellers!

Had an awesome time here! Very close to Taxim Square and an easy metro ride away from all the main sights. Rooms were cleaned regularly and were very comfortable and secure. The staff (and the random cheese merchant who didn't actually work at the hostel :p ) were very nice and helpful. The owner was so friendly (gave us a free shisha pipe)! Highly recommended!
