Noisy rooms because if night club next doors. Could be nice with good curtains on all windows, cosier feeling, sound isolation. Could be good to inform guests about need to bring towel and toilet paper.

the location was amazing: literally two minutes from taksim square (and airport/city buses & tram), and right off of istiklal. the club noise wasn't too bad (but we stayed during the week, so can't say about the weekend) and the staff was great; our only complaint was the shower: the curtain wasn't long enough, so the water sprayed over the whole floor. it was a pretty yucky swamp by the time we left. overall, though, this is easily one of the best hostels i've stayed in. very recommended.

Great hostel. We hesitated a bit before booking here, because a lot of people complained about the noisiness. After all, this was a lot better than expected: with the windows closed, only saturday night was pretty noisy (disco beats), but if you bring a pair of earplugs, you'll sleep like a baby. The only slightly negative comment I could make, is about the bed: definitely not the best matress I've ever slept on. But still, great hostel!

Don't go to this Hostel. The worst hostel I've ever been to. It is located between two night clubs so forget about sleeping (The night clubs are open everyday of the week till 5 am). Even if you call the police they don't do anything because the night club owners pay them to shut up. The beds were terrible and our rooms were never cleaned in the 7days we were there. I was glad to leave.

Great place, big rooms and very clean. i recommend for a short stay in a lively spot! Good location close to a street full of restaurants, bars and shops, although a little noisy (music of the bars in background)...walls are not very isolated so you can hear your neighbors coming home late. great service with free internet, salon to hang out, coffee (nescafe) and tea... thought a shame they don't include breakfast in the price!!

After backpacking through europe for the last month, i was actually a bit disapointed with the hostel. there was major construction going on above the hostel and this started at about midnight and continued through until the early hours of the morning, there was no air con or TV as we stayed in a double room, and the continuos bass from the club next door didn't add to the stay. If your up for no sleep due to the partying going on in Taksim this is your place!! Lauren from Melbourne Aus

Excelent location, very clean, big room. Very noisy at night (there is a disco next to the hostel) otherwise very quiet. Few small things: problem with the shower (it put water everywhere), no small lights in the room.
