Guest Reviews
- Yusuf (2/5): Definitely stay away - Cleanliness is terrible. Ripped bedsheets, toilets rife with cockroaches, owner has been telling me for a month he will refund me though he has been beating round the bush.
Photos are extremely misleading please stay away, I stayed for a day couldn't stand and left!
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Toplamda iki kere kaldım ikisinde de çok
- Yeliz (2/5): - Toplamda iki kere kaldım ikisinde de çok
- Akim (2/5): A fuire - Ne correspond en rien au photo et au dire de l'aubergiste ces juste un endroit salle et délabré un repaire de SDF et de clandestins
- rohail (10/5): - Good service overall
- Behanam (10/5): Location - Being close to the city center and Taksim Square was very important to me, and Nostalgia Hostel solved this issue. In addition, the staff is nice and the terrace view is very beautiful. I recommend it for those looking for a short or long-term stay at an economical cost.
- Tahir (10/5): Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim - Güzel bir deneyim oldu diyebilirim hostele gitmeden önce korkularım vardı temizlik kimlerle kalacağım vb gibi ama öyle olmadı çalışanları çok cana yakındı hele teras cafe si muazzam diyebilirim salaş bir mekan çok güzel saat gece 03:00 kadar oturdum gitar çalan arkadaşlar geceye renk kattı iş için geldiğim bir bana tatil oldu
- Leila (10/5): Thnks you so much 🙏🙏 - Thank you for the nostalji hostel for the good service..friendly staff.strategic location.affordable price..there is also simple breakfast and dinner...there is a small roof cafe.a place to hang out..with music on the roof..also thank you for the very friendly Indonesian staff named Ali Ridho..see you next time 🙏🙏🙏
- Verified traveler (2/5): En dernier recours - Faible prix mais sale, terrasse pour restaurant plutot cantine, forte promiscuité, deux douches toilettes pour quelques dizaines de personnes, recommande la location d un casier pour la sécurité du sac avec imposition de leur cadenas payant et caution sejour. Je n y retournerai pas.
- Vurghun (2/5): - Bokdan bi hostel 2 gün2 hasta oldum
- yenit673 (10/5): Great - This place is kind of like a homeless shelter. The receptionist Mr. Abdullah took care of us. The rooms are stinky. With people not cleaning themselves. And beware, they do not refund your money. I will definitely come back here again......
- E4654IAtravist (10/5): Great hostel! - Great Stay at Nostalji Hostel
Nostalji Hostel is clean, stylish, and welcoming. Abdullah is incredibly helpful. Rooms are cozy and full of character. Perfect location, great vibe. Felt right at home. Would absolutely stay again. Home away from home!
- Volkan (10/5): İnanılmaz güzel - Ben bu kadar sıcak samimi bir ortam görmedim. muamele üst düzeydi. Fiyatı ise Bedavadan biraz pahalıydı.
- Güven (2/5): - Hier können keine Menschen schlafen. Das ist eine eckelhafte und dreckige Unterkunft!!!
Bilder stimmen nicht
- Hussam (10/5): - Great staff and Management. Thanks Noah. Thanks Rashad, and thanks to Abdulla 😃
- Joshua (2/5): - DO NOT COME TO THIS HOSTEL. They are allowing homeless people with government stipends to room here. Every room is loud at night and dirty. Homeless people are smoking in the halls all day and throughout the night. Lots of sick people.
Other rooms are reserved for long stay tenants who are just as loud and noisy. Owners are lazy and do not clean anything. It is not safe.
DO NOT COME HERE. If you are in Istanbul and need an affordable place to stay, there are plenty of other options.
- Thipwan (10/5): - Everyone are loving at the hostel.
- Yazan (2/5): - schrecklich
- Begaiym (4/5): - This might have been one of the worst hostel experiences I have had. The female dorm room is nothing like in the pictures, it's very small and with people's suitcases there is barely space to walk. Not every bed has a plug, you might have to share it with the neighboring bed which might be taken, and no plugs in the common area as well. So if I didn't have my power bank I would have been screwed.
The common area and the bathroom was very dirty. The shower and the toilet was in the same compartment, so the toilet was always wet. No toilet paper, no soap.
The stuff didn't seem to care much if you have any issues or requests.
I gave 2 stars for the location and the price. It's only 3-5 minutes away from Taksim square, and the price is really cheap. So if you need to stay close to the center and don't care much about comfort you can consider it.
- Fernando (2/5): Bad - the place is unsanitary, with bedbug infestation, dirty sheets, bathroom with visible sewage, no cleaning, high risk of contamination, I had to leave and look for another hostel, not even as a last resort, better to sleep on the floor of the airport which is cleaner
- Diah (2/5): - So smell room for lady
- sébastien (6/5): - hygiène sanitaire , insalubre , risque contamination
- Merle (2/5): - It's an absolute dive!!!
- Marziya (2/5): - If there would be something worse than terrible I would put it! It is not worth even staying in Nostalji 1 hour. Bedding, bedroom, reception area is just source of decease. It was the worst experience ever. The property host even doesn’t will to talk and accept the complaints. Never try this hostel, photos don’t reflect the reality
- riop869 (2/5): Homeless shelter - I visited and paid for this place on May 2nd 2024, when I visited the room, it was really horrible oh my God. Please don't come to this place. It looks like a homeless shelter, with bad beds, and a bad smell. It is also located in an old building around a slum area.
- Neda (4/5): - Very friendly and well disposed staff but the hostel is still in preparation and the installations were precarious and messy, but then again it was very cheap.
- mikehowardc (6/5): Cheap, not so cheerful - Nostalji Hostel could be great, but it's not! It is close to Taxim Square, but the road is very steep. The area is very scruffy and so is the hostel.
The building is old and dilapidated. The bathrooms particularly. In one small toile there is a shower but you have to sit on the toilet to use the shower.
All the floors are old and look dirty I spite of the hard work of the cleaning ladies. The bedrooms are a good size but there are so many bunk beds crammed in that they feel very cramped.
Breakfast is a bit of a joke. No butter and no knife to spread the triangle of processed cheese. Where to eat it? Not in the kitchen! I ate mine in a room equipped with two sofas. Unfortunately the sink was used for tooth brushing, gargling and clearing of nasal passages. Not very appetising. Most guests seem to use their beds!
The hostel boasts a terrace and a cafe. The cafe is a takeaway with a phone number. The terrace is a very dirty roof which was used as a rubbish dump.
The staff are great. Not so much English but they tried to make me feel welcome
- Verified traveler (4/5): - 전체적으로 건물 및 침구류.샤워.화장실등 관리가안되어있다
- Ainis (4/5): - They returned the money and threw me out of the apartments just because I did hair transplantation. Suddenly, my place was reserved for someone else. Not pretty.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Tavsiye etmiyorum - Gerçekten rahatsız edici bir yer. Bir gece zor kaldım.
- pateld200 (10/5): right now - This place has a canteen, you can meet all your needs, the best part was that the rooms were spotless. It is also a good location. It has very playful and humorous employees. I liked the most that each bed was separated into a certain area.
- O2316WSharryc (10/5): hotel is normal level hotel - It has a canteen. It is a hotel with a terrace where you can meet all your needs. The food at lunch, dinner and breakfast was excellent. Turkish cuisine was reflected very well. The comfort of the hotel was normal compared to Istanbul hotels.
- ferdia849 (10/5): I wanted to share my experience about the hotel - As someone who has loved Istanbul, I have had the experience of staying in many accommodations. Looking at these general comments, I would like to stay here and share my personal experience. The hotel is noteworthy in terms of cleanliness. Nothing is perfect. Of course, this place also has its shortcomings, but the hotel may be in a good condition in general.
- hasanu409 (10/5): It was exactly the hotel I was looking for - We were looking for a suitable place to stay with my family when we went on holiday in Istanbul, we did a lot of research, we were about to give up, we went on the advice of a friend, it was exactly what I was looking for, the hotel was exactly what I was looking for, we can't thank the cleaning staff and the authorities enough, they are all good people.
- yunusb655 (10/5): hostel like hostel - Dinner is delicious and delicious, this product has a decent terrace, it was very good there, I was told later that she was friendly and smiling, another nice feature that I liked was that it was like a hostel.hostel
- 993celily (10/5): A place where everything is perfect from A to Z - I was called to Istanbul for a job interview. I was looking for an affordable and somewhat comfortable place to stay. I saw that it met my expectations at a rate of 90 percent. This made me very happy. I was really satisfied. 👏
- Davut (10/5): Definitely recommended! - A great place to socialize with travelers from all over the world! I had a wonderful stay.
- David (10/5): I would love to stay again - Everything went well during my stay. Their understanding of cleanliness and rules were impressive. I would love to stay again when I come back.
- Thomas (10/5): I loved it - Good employees, good food, great location, comfortable room, I loved it.
- David (10/5): I was very satisfied after my stay. - It was the best quality you could find at the cheapest price. I was very satisfied after my stay. Safe and clean place. I will probably be there again on my next visit to Istanbul.
