This hostel was wonderful! It's in such a great location, has an amazing staff, and just feels like a very warm place. I was provided tea upon enterting, suggested amazing trips at incredible prices, and even upgraded to a 4-person room because there was space available! If I return to Istanbul, I will definitely be staying here again.

I had a really great stay at this hostel. Staff members were incredibly helpful with suggestions on what to do in the city, and very responsive to all of my requests. When they didn't have change to give me back my deposit for my key, a staff member offered to get me something at the grocery store two doors down to make change (I got my full deposit and a chocolate bar thrown in). Thanks so much for making my stay in Istanbul an awesome one!

First of all the owner of the hostel is the nicest guy ever! If you have any questions regarding anything, he is ready to give you a helping hand. The hostel is in the middle of Istiklal Caddesi, close to Taksim Square, which means you are in the heart of Istanbul and from walking distance to pretty much all historical sightseeings. The clubs that make much noise are located at the opposite side of Istiklal Caddesi, so you can sleep properly at night too. I'd deffinetly recommend to stay here!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Made real attempts to bring guests together too with BBQ on new years eve. Helpful with booking bus or tour tickets, directions, safety, and general info on Istanbul. A fantastic stay and would recommend to anyone visiting the city.

If you're looking for a hostel close to the heart of Taskim Square and Istiklal (the main shopping street) this is the perfect place. The rooms are simple but clean, with comfortable mattresses, there's free coffee and tea all day, and the wi-fi is decent, although it doesn't work above the second floor. The staff are great and set up my six day tour following my stay in Istanbul. I just told them what I wanted to do and they got me a great deal. The hostel itself is not that charming visually.

Best thing about this hostel is the location, literally a 2 minute walk from Istanbul. Staff was very friendly, great value for money. Although very close to Taksim, our room was pretty quiet. Only thing I disliked was the fact that there was no natural light coming into the room.

My Turkish Family! Chambers it was a cozy safe haven. The decor is as if Mrs. Havisham had a love affair with Mata Hari. Overall, the best part was the staff. The owner, Ahmet, is like your jolly dad, and the staff were like really cool older brothers who show you where you need to be, if you expect to be as cool as them. And when you slip on some ice and dislocate your elbow, they get you to a hospital and set you up on a comfy couch.

Great people there! It is an amazing hostel very close to the best places to go out in Istanbul! The rooms have classy furniture, beds are great and everything is clean. Ask the people there for any kind of help, they will provide for whatever you need to know

A humble hostel with friendly staff and clean rooms. If you want to stay in Beyoglu, the location is simply ideal. December is completely off-season in Istanbul, which I relished, but a couple of guests found the hostel too quiet.

This is a great hostel. Awesome location right in the heart of the Taksim/Beyoglu area where there are loads of great bars, restaurants and shops. Great facilities and staff. The owner also organised my trips to Cappadocia and Pamukkale which was really helpful and even let me store a small piece of luggage at the hostel while I was away. Highly recommend.
