Neverland is simple, beautiful; a real 'hostel'. It will welcome you if you welcome it. There is a feeling there, that you will be accepted, and if get to know the people who run it, the cat, others travellers, it becomes home. Neverland has: Excellent English levels and music tastes amongst the staff. Amazing breakfast. A kitchen, but the cooker is a bit broken, but charming. Bunks with lockers, heaters. Shower can flood/don't have fans, so you can't have a long shower (save water!). Free tea!

I would stay here again. Neverland is a real hostel- with a kitchen, comfy lounge area, free wi-fi and a huge serve yourself breakfast. Location is between Taksim and bridge over to the Asia side. Decor is alternative and political. Funky hostel.

Every time I stay at Neverland, I like it even more than I already do. The place has really good vibes and the people there, both staff and guests are amazing. I would recommend this place very much.

The hostel was really helpful and secure. Breakfast is traditional turkish breakfast with veggies and yogurt. Tea is excellent and served all day long. Great hostel!

Unique anarchist-theme w Rosa Luxemburg images, Free Mumia posters, and anti-capitalist slogans on the walls, may not be everyone's cup of tea but it certainly has character! Attracts an arty alternative clientele with an open, friendly, and tolerant atmosphere. Shower grout could use a good scrubbing with cleanser (true of a lot of hostels, no?). Great breakfast, large common area (dining and lounge), and eclectic music.

I really liked the feel and vibe of the place - very relaxed and the staff were quite helpful. I liked that there was constant free tea and coffee to warm you up when you got in from a cold day of sight seeing. The communal area was nice, it was a good place to meet other people staying in the hostel. My boyfriend and I had the same complaint though about the hostel - the beds were very uncomfortable. We both woke up with a sore back every morning. I would not stay here again due to this fact

Great hostel in every way - chill staff, nice rooms, cool vibe, very very close to the more fun part of Istanbul ( without being right next to the noise, so you can actually sleep at night ). Only one problem....there may be a bedbug problem. I awoke with two mysterious bites my second night and a girl in my dorm claimed she had bites "all over". I hope they can get that under control, because otherwise the place is great.

Excellent location, nice and helpful staff. No claims ! Room with enough space (unfortunately with thin walls ;) Nice place to stay. Polish: Hostel wart polecenia. Kilkaset metrow od Istikali Street i zabytkowego tramwaju, blisko wszystkich ważniejszych zabytków i punktow do zwiedzenia w Stambule. Pokoj z lazienka, czysty i przestronny (troche cienkie sciany i slychac sasiadow;)

I loved to stay at Neverland! The location is great and even it's so central it's very quiet. The staff was really lovely and helpful! Thanks! The room and the bathroom were very clean as well! The turkish breakfast was very good to start the day!

Spended there seven nights in a nine bed dorm. The roommates were OK, beds,shower, toilets were allways clear. Only problem is not having WiFi in rooms. (it's working only in the common room). The lounge has a good atmosphere, good for having fun with other people (table games, talkings, drinking games...:) etc.). The kitchen is also useful, and well equipped. The staff is friendly, help if needed and the Neverland Cat is friendly - especially if you let her sleep in your bed :)
