Taksim Sofa Hostel Istanbul Reviews

We stayed there only 2 days, it was a short stay but it was fun. Service is ok for the price. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Location is good, just a few minutes to Istiklal Street. Also, you can meet new people from different cultures. We recommend this hostel to stay.

Good facilities,nice staff great location.Perfect.

I have come back to this hostel twice because honestly it offers everything a backpacker needs while he is on the road. When something is wrong they are more then happy to help you to make it right. They are also very nice and willing to help you book any transportation needs around Turkey... that are not part of TOUR groups. It is also in one of the best locations in Istanbul. Everything is near by and walking distance.

Because itz old and i new that they are gonna close that hostel near cihangir. So i think, thats the reason why its advised in oblivion. yours sincerely, a guest

except good location, nothing worth talking about here.

It's a great hostel for a night or two. The staff was very nice & a great place to meet people, but I didn't like the toilets and shower. They had no where to put your clothes or hang them. You either had to put it on the wet floor or the dirty toilet. I did like they had great lockers and great wifi.

HOSTELWORLD GAVE ME THE WRONG ADDRESS!!! They gave me the address to the old location, not the new one!

Room without keys and bathrooms a little bit dirty, so wet. It´s good to spend a couple of days. It´s near Taksim, the center of good atmosphere in Istambul.

-location was good. (5min to taksim square. great hamam across the street) -the staff was very nice. but sometimes a room was double booked. -there were power blackout almost every day -mouldy walls in the dorms!!! (Schimmel an den Wänden!!)

the heater doesnt work and it was damn cold.

At first, it was very difficult to find the hostel in a taxi.we got off and walked from taksim till we reached it. The hostel was very nice.brand New building with new sheets and toilets.the staff waa amazing and very helpfull. There,we made good contacts from different nationalities and instantly became friends. The only problem was the heating.it did no work as well as it should be.the temperature was really low and we were cold. I recommend it .

The Hostel was near to Taksim square, close to mainstream cafes, bars, shops. Also very close to Metro station. If you choose this location for summer maybe you ll have problem with the noice. It was ok for the money we payed.
