Mavi Onur Guesthouse Reviews

Bathrooms were dirty and the hot water heater for the shower was quite poor. BUT, the staff was super friendly, the breakfast was FABULOUS (scrambled eggs, fresh veggies, olives, and lots of bread and jam) every morning. Well worth the money, considering the great location, so close to many sights in the old city and such a short walk to the tram.

it used to be a nice hostel....a few years ago probably. the room was small, but ok. what disturbed be was a dirty bathroom, and there was definetly "life" in there. The water in the shower was hot/warm only if it was running very slowly. Breakfast....I've seen better, didn't try to stay on the safe side.

The best hostel you can get for the money. But some things you can't get for money: the most friendly staff: interested and talkative. If you are not shy you can have interesting talks about istanbul, life in turkey and a overview of cultural similarities and differences. Plus if you are interested in wrestling the security guy is always down for a short "fight" and a lot of laughs. Big breakfast & as much tea and coffee as you want. Cooking and relaxing on a terrace with a great view. ;-)
