Taksim Lounge Reviews

This place is particularly good for access to public transportation and transfers, as well as close to nightlife but not being right in the middle of it. They will adjust the volume of music according to the mood of the guests, so if it is too loud or too soft, just let them know.

Great place overall. Locatıon was really central. really close to taksım square. engin was a really chıll guy and was super helpful. we went out a couple of tımes and he knows the good spots. stay here! added bonus beds are super comfortable.

Central location just off Taksim Sq but very difficult to find. Very basic all round but you get what you pay for and was ok in every aspect.

Very chilled out hostel in the heart of busy Taksim, perfect location for bars, restaurants and shopping. Staff were always around to help.

When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was a funky smell. Thankfully that seemed to be only in the entryway and common areas, not the bedrooms, but I almost turned around and walked out because of it. The floor in one of the bathrooms always had a layer of water, as if the shower or toilet was leaking. Breakfast is included which is nice, but its a pretty nondescript breakfast. The staff were very nice and the location is great. If the place was a little cleaner, it could be a great hostel.

Fantastic!

The Staff is very nice, helpful and always offering tea! He plays music all the time from his ipad and iphone and leaves them in the kitchen... this is why you know you are safe to stay here because unless he recognizes you he isn't letting you in!

Incredibly Friendly Staff! And they played great music in the lounge during the evenings!

EVERYONE SHOULD STAY HERE! I stayed for a week and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything including all public transportation. There are lockers and a kitchen with a constant supply of tea and coffee and breakfast every morning. There is always hot water, toilet paper and free wifi. Not to mention how great the staff was and made sure to help me with anything I needed.

Location near Taksim Sq is ideal. Rooms on the ground floor are a little bit cramped, rooms upstairs are quiet and comfy. Great staff (they would offer me snacks early in the afternoon, noticing that I was always waking up too late for breakfast...lol). Common room is OK for meeting travelers, but since I already had people to hang out with, I didn't spend much time there. Overall good value for money.

Very very nice atmosphere and the staff was always there to help us! Very good breakfast according to the money you pay, always ready hot tea! The only drawback was that the room that I stayed was too small for 8 beds and that could make you feel claustrophobically. But anyway it was just for a nap!!

The staff were super helpful at all times with tips to get around Istanbul and getting to the airport even if at 3am! Great hostel at a great price, lovely old building near taksim square.

An amazing place to stay and meet gorgeous people in the very heart of Istanbul! Would reccomend to anyone!

i really enjoyed this hostel. the staff were very chilled out and helpful. there´s a rooftop terrace that was a bit dirty but apparently theyre going to clean it up in the next few weeks. the beds were also super comfortable. the only complaint i have is that the hostel is a bit far from the main sights. its near the tram that goes down there, but i like to be able to walk to everything. all in all, it was definitely worth the money though

Engin and his team are great and the vibe in the hostel is very friendly. Stay here :)

This hostel was pretty good. The room was good and the bathrooms clean. However, we didn't have a key for our door and no lockers in the room just out in the open. The location is good for the new part of town. Great shopping and clubs but the historic part of town (Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque etc) are about 30 mins away on the funicula and tram which can be annoying. The staff were very friendly, great breakfast.

very nice atmosphere.... comfortable, friendly. The bathroom was clean everytime and the bedrooms also. The staff is very friendly, funny and helpful. Great hostel!!! I'll go there again, when I'll come to Istanbul again!!!!

The breakfast was not good and the starting time was not correct. the should chnage the time if they are not providing breakfast or they have to skip it and reduce price wğithout breakfast. the satff was not professional and they need to revise their professional manner to the femal client.

Staff was extremely helpful, and location is convenient.

closest hostelto taksim and transport locations as metro funicular and to touristic places i ve ever seen. kind staff. and comfortable beds with batrooms. near to the otoparkcing
