Really nice and peaceful place to stay. Short distance to the old town and to the city. I will recommend to others and who knows some day visit El Hostel again.

The most positive aspect of El Hostel is the cleanliness; the cleaners do an excellent job! The decor is colorful and pleasant, and all of the facilities are satisfactory. My only complaint is that there is no bar in the hostel nor anywhere comfortably close to it.

Hostel con poca informacion turistica. Muy barato y buena loacion. Pero a pesar de eso no lo recomiendo. NO tiene vida de hostel y los baños no son muy aseados.

Not best located, need to walk for twenty minutes at least to old town. But considering the 24 hours bus ticket for students is only 6 tl, it is not a big issue. Very nice environemnt with a large lobby and cozy atmosphere. staff very nice, let me stay, have tea, coffee and use the locker after I checked out.

A relatively new hostel. The owners did very well in this building that was "a ruin" as they say. The atmosphere is cosy, and staff is very nice. Rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is large and functional. Large and cosy living room. The location could be better, but if you don't mind walking a bit (around 20mn from the old town), it's not a huge problem. Good luck to El Hostel!
