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!!Great place, big rooms and very clean.

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!!

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.Excelent location, very clean, big room.

it is good for a hostel and the only things it would need would be individual lockers, with coins, to put your valuable items instead of leaving them at the reception, and better walls, cause mine had a big hole behind my bed. they put a closet to mask it but you could still see it, i think it used to be a fireplace or somethingit is good for a hostel and the only things it would need would be individual lockers, with coins, to put your valuable items instead of leaving them at the reception, and better walls, cause mine had a big hole behind my bed. they put a closet to mask it but you could still see it, i think it used to be a fireplace or something...Close

Hostel wasn't that easy to find as there was only a tiny sticker on the security door to say it was there. walked past twice. We never got to stay here - made a booking and paid the booking fee & deposit, but when we got there were told the place was full. Staff rang other places and got us into another place down a dingy, smelly alley that the taxi driver couldn't find. ended up staying somewhere else entirely because it didn't feel safe - no lock on balcony door. terrible experience.Hostel wasn't that easy to find as there was only a tiny sticker on the security door to say it was there. walked past twice.

Position is great. Staff is very very friendly but some staff members are not very helpful.
One advice: choose it if you want to enjoy Istanbul life. Stay away if you have problem with noise, because even with two windows closed the disco in front of the hostel can keep you awake till 2 or 3 in the morning.Position is great.
