Guest Reviews
- rahali karim (8/5): - Arrivant très tard (4h du matin) je n'ai pas vu de réceptionniste cependant toute les instructions mon était envoyé par message 👌👍 merci à lui Les placards sont faciles a ouvrir même fermer à clé
- Maria Caridad (6/5): - La ubicación .. para estancias cortas de 1 a 2 días bien , más tiempo no lo recomiendo, ya que está en una zona super céntrica y turística y hay mucho ruido pero está cerca de todo lo más importante Que no tiene ascensor , las escaleras son super incómodas de caracol y si vas con maletas te mueres subiendolas. Por otro lado solo había un baño para que cada sexo en el primer piso, yo que estaba en la 3ra tenia que subir y bajar cada vez.
- Bill (5/5): - Stuffy, no real privacy Dirty bathrooms
- Assya (8/5): -
- Rowaida (2/5): Uncomfortable stay! - This is a nightmare for anyone who has claustrophobia! the room is super tight, the entrance is super tight and the stairs are crazy spiral and not convenient at all if you have a bag!
The actual nightmare is that the hostel is above a bar or a nightclub so you will never be able to sleep!!
Uncomfortable stay in general!
- Kiymaz (6/5): Konum olarak kesinlikle tavsiye ederim sadece uyumak için kullanılabilir ama havasız olması gerçekten büyük eksi - Konumu çok avantajlı ve check in check out sorunsuz 7/24 olması güzel Oda aşırı havasız ve sıcak bunaltıcı nemli ve gece sabaha kadar müzik çalıuor yandaki kafelerden ve banyo oda dışında bu yüzden ek zahmetli
- Damayanti (8/5): -
- Jean Marc (7/5): -
- Naima (3/5): - أعجبتنى المرافق الصحية و العاملين جد محترمين The problem is with the nightclub located below the hotel The noises were very loud until 2 AM every night The rooms are very small.The bathroom is two floors away from me.
- James (6/5): - It was fine but worth noting that it’s right next to a night club so verrrryyy loud at night so can be hard to sleep. It’s a bit run down in terms of the bathroom but the rooms were nice. For the money it’s fine for a couple nights but after that I was ready to leave.
- Elsa (6/5): You get what you paid for - Good location and check in and out were super smooth Rooms are tiny, bathroom on another floor, SUPER noisy as even with the windows closed you can hear the music from the bars downstairs. You don´t have a personal light above your bed which means the only light available is the general light of the room.
- BOGDAN (2/5): - non all
- Aryan (2/5): -
- Michelle (1/5): I don’t recommend. - The location is excellent I had a friend inspect the building on my behalf as I couldn’t be there. The entrance was open, but there was no reception. She walked up all flights of dirty stairs to the top floor. No terrace - no common area. The common area seen in photo is inaccurate. There was a table on the stairs landing with a kettle & microwave. It was a sad situation. My friend said it felt very sketchy / didn’t feel safe.
Additionally, from the beginning, I emailed a message stating I could not arrive on the date planned and asked for a credit to be applied to another date. After 4x emails they replied with one sentence essentially saying
“ I cannot answer your question” . That was not helpful.
- Manon (5/5): Pas cher mais manque d’hygiène et de vie sociale - Le lit est confortable. Il y a un casier pour ranger des affaires. Il y a la Clim et le chauffage, ainsi qu’un frigo dans la chambre. Sèche cheveux à disposition
Le propriétaire m’a envoyé les codes de chambre etc car j’arrivais tard. Il n’y a pas de réception, je n’ai même pas su qui était le propriétaire de l’auberge.
J’ai contacté le propriétaire pour la douche et les wc, sans réponse. Une punaise de lit dans mon lit, le propriétaire a dit qu’il passerait, quand je lui ai demandé confirmation d’avoir vérifié, il n’a pas répondu. En tout cas je n’en ai pas vu d’autre mais sait on jamais
La salle de bain: j’ai cru comprendre que les toilettes n’ont pas été nettoyés, étant donné qu’il y avait les mêmes taches sur la cuvette pendant les 5 jours où j’étais là. La douche était plus ou moins propre. Petit conseil: se doucher le matin pour avoir de l’eau chaude. Mais j’ai tout de même eu droit à des douches froides le matin.
En effet les bars en bas de l’immeuble sont très bruyants jusqu’à 2h du matin, et ce n’est pas bien isolé.
Pas d’espace commun, en tout cas il n’est pas indiqué(il y a une photo sur booking mais personne ne sait où c’est), et auberge pas très sociable.
Des déchets derrière et sous les lits.

- Alex (1/5): Awful, I left 2 days early with no refund. Do not stay here - Nothing The rooms smelled like cheese, obviously had not been cleaned in weeks if not longer, just the bedsheets changed. There was a dirty sock underneath my bed where my pillow laid, along with a mass of dust and dirt. Windows near the bed were disgusting, locks on lockers didn’t work, bathrooms were hideous. I stayed here 3 years ago and it was great, not sure what happened.
- Kelsinboyev (10/5): Pure vision of Istanbul - I liked the helpful owner of this apartment.
- Yunus Emre (7/5): Hostel çok güzel ama düzenlenmesi gereken şeyler var - Konumu çok iyi Öncelikle şunu belirtmek istiyorum ki burada yazan böcek ve haşere sorunuyla kesinlikle karşılaşmadım. Onun dışında tuvalet ve banyosu da temizlik hatta yastık ve battaniye falan da temizdi genel olarak iyiydi ama dikkat edilmesi gereken bir durum var işletmeci için; lütfen odalara hatta belirli başlı yerlere kalan ziyaretçiler için bazı uyarılar yazın. Mesela benim üst yatağımda yatan şahıs odaya her girdiğinde diğer kişileri dahi uyandıracak kadar ses yapıyor, gece 2-3’e kadar yatağında bir şeyler yiyor hatta çöpünü, peçetesini benim yatağıma attı (gece yastığıma düştü). Yatağımın perdesi kapalı olmasına rağmen gece uyurken yine üst yatağımdaki şahıs birden perdemi açtı, şaşırdım ve rahatsız oldum. Odada kalanlar odayı havalandırmıyorlar inanılmaz koku vardı ben havalandırdım. Yani diyeceğim o ki; bunlar işletmecinin suçu değil ama düzenlenmesi için uyarılar asılması gerek.

- Teymur (8/5): - Всё нормально: как ожидал - так проживал эти дни.
- Viviane (4/5): - Location The bathrooms were dirty, the air of the room was bad - the window could not be fully opened. The bedsheets were stained with blood.
- Jon Ander Martinez (7/5): -
- Grillo (5/5): -
- Alhusein (9/5): -
- Sini (5/5): - Great location, friendly and flexible staff, comfy beds. Cleanliness seemed to be well maintained! I should have read the other reviews better before booking so I would've known that the nearby nightclubs make sleeping impossible until 1 am (on a slow Sunday, probably a lot worse in the weekends/high season). Earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones got nothing on that noise! There is a communal kettle but no cups to prepare coffee or tea. Nearly no water pressure for warm water.
- Sara (9/5): - I was here a week, had a minor issue at the beginning but was solved right away! The stairs, kind of hard to go upstairs with a suitcase!
- Dufour (7/5): -
- Ilona (9/5): -
- Pavlo (10/5): - Люблю хостели з де є хоч мінімальна приватність за допомогою занавісок.

- Dilnaz (10/5): I found new friends there. So everything is fine. - Location is so perfect for travelers. And room was clean and comfortable. But this street was noisy. There’s a cafe nearby.
- Ivan Defendente (1/5): Da dimenticare - Nulla camera sporca e musica sotto fino 2 di notte Tutto
- Rafael (9/5): - Local excelente, super recomendo! Da limpeza do banheiro e do acesso.
- Alice (3/5): Hostel très moyen. Exigu et sans espace commun. - L'hostel est bien placé, dans un quartier animé et proche du tramway.
Il y a des rideaux au lit, et certains lits sont plus larges. Aucun espace commun avec une table ou une chaise. Pas même une réception pour nous recevoir. Une seule toilette femme pour tout le bâtiment chambre exiguë avec fenêtre qui s'ouvre à peine. Quartier très bruyant.
- Ilvar (7/5): Confortable. - Excellent rapport qualité-prix. La propriété n'est pas la meilleure. Avec un coup de nettoyage l'auberge peut beaucoup améliorer. Également en mettant quelques équipements vous pouvez améliorer.
- MOHAMMAD (10/5): -
- Erik (7/5): - Posizione, letto comodo e prezzo Sotto il letto e alcuni punti un po’ sporchi, bagno solamente al primo piano ed io ero al quarto quindi un po’ scomodo
- Emilija (10/5): Very great - I truly enjoyed my time there — the atmosphere was welcoming, the place was clean and comfortable, and everything was very well organized.I felt at home from the moment I arrived. Thank you for all the effort you put into making guests feel comfortable. I would be very happy to stay again and will gladly recommend your hostel to others.
Best regards🙂 Just because there is only one bathroom on the first floor but i get used for it
- pascal (7/5): - L emplacement pas bruyant pour moi...la réactivité du gérant sur whatsapp.. Petites chambres...toilettes a l étage du dessous..juste une bouilloire dans le couloir
- Halil (1/5): - Tahtakurusu var ilaçlanmış ama yetmemişti :( gece gerçekten uyuyamadım umarım cozulur zira yeri çok iyi
- Sherine (10/5): - Location perfect
- YI (10/5): 老板很热情,环境很干净,设施设备也很齐全。周围的商店饭店也很多,餐厅老板也很好。 -
- Charles (8/5): -
- Daniel (7/5): A comfortable and well-located stay with great value, but a few practical inconveniences to be aware - The location was lively and super convenient, with lots of shops, bars, restaurants, and public transport nearby. My bed and room were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and recently updated. The host was very quick to respond, the neighborhood felt safe, and the facilities felt secure overall. I also thought the value was excellent for the location and for such an updated, clean, and secure property. For clarification, there are 2 showers and 2 toilets on the 1st floor (men's bathroom), and the women's bathroom is on the opposite side. The beds near the windows don’t have a curtain on the window side of the bedframe, which makes it difficult to sleep past sunrise. There’s also loud music from nearby bars and clubs until around 2–3 AM most nights, so earplugs and an eye mask are highly recommended. The hot water runs out quickly, about five minutes, even when no one else is showering, so my roommates and I had to stagger our shower times. The bathrooms are located on the first floor, while the rooms are on the upper floors, and the staircases are narrow and steep, which can be challenging if you’re carrying luggage. My locker (Room 5, Bed/Locker 1) was very finicky and difficult to lock and unlock. The WiFi was quite slow, and I couldn’t host a Zoom meeting, though there are plenty of nearby cafés with stronger connections. Lastly, there was no towel on my bed when I arrived; the host responded quickly, but since they weren’t on-site, I had to wait until the next afternoon to receive one. Despite this, I would recommend this hostel for a shor,t affordable stay.
- Ilnar (7/5): - В комнатах удобные просторные кровати, не скрипят, есть шторки и розетки. Сама комната выглядела хорошо. Каждая дверь под электронным кодовым замком. В хостеле познакомился с большим количеством путешественников из разных стран. Менеджер хостела приятный в общении, обычно находится в другом месте, но с ним легко связаться. В целом хостел выглядит хорошо, но есть места, которым необходима реновация: кондиционер в комнате грязный и подтекает, в душевых отваливаются вешалки и гниет дерево. В комнате мало места, маленькие шкафчики, в которые не поместится чемодан, поэтому чемоданы стоят в комнате, вешалка есть только на двери. Расположение на людных улицах, по ночам играет музыка из баров, а утром звонят колокола из церкви в 10 метрах от хостела.

- Harpreet (10/5): -
- Mariia (1/5): - Клопы!!! И очень громкая музыка с улицы, которая мешает спать!
- Charles (7/5): - L emplacement en plein centre ville La propreté et surtout la salle de bain mériterait d être refaite …
- Aleksandra (9/5): - Я приехала после полуночи, мне прислали инструкцию по которой я легко заселилась. В комнате была одна. Очень чисто и комфортно, нет посторонних запахов. шкафчик с ключем. Окна большие, хорошо проветривают комнату. Очень узкая винтовая лесница, если один человек спускается, а другой поднимается, будет проблема. До 4 утра в соседней комнате громко шумели и хлопали дверью, но это не вина хостела.
- Murat (10/5): -
- Simon Berggren (6/5): -
- Yasser Abdallah (8/5): - It was easy to check in easy to reach good location Loud at night because of the bars around
- Baiaman (6/5): -
- Emanuel (1/5): - Únicamente la ubicación, que es buena y está cerca de muchos puntos de interés de Estambul. Salgo del hostel lleno de picaduras de chinches. En mi habitación había muchos, y por lo que me dijeron otros huéspedes, no es un problema nuevo: llevan tiempo con chinches y el staff lo sabe, pero no hacen nada para solucionarlo. Incluso personas que se alojaron otros años aseguran que pasó lo mismo. Este hostel debería estar cerrado y desinfectado por completo, porque es peligroso y totalmente inaceptable. Ahora me voy con el cuerpo lleno de picaduras.
- Linsen (7/5): - 地理位置优越,床铺干净 台阶窄
- Milton Elan (6/5): - Habían unos que roncaban fuerte, pero bien.
- Dreza (3/5): Precisa melhorar muito - Localização Você não dorme, por conta do barulho: fica num local de bares e karaoke de segunda à segunda até às 4h da manhã. Espaço: quarto minúsculo, não tem como abrir a mala ou ficar 2 hóspedes ao mesmo tempo fora da cama. Cama: não tem proteção na cama de cima, perigoso cair; não tem iluminação individual. Iluminação: não há cortinas bloquadoras de luz para as grandes janelas de vidro. Limpeza: é sujo, empoeirado, lixeiras transbordando, não houve limpeza no quarto por 4 dias. Funcionários: não há ninguém por lá, se precisar de algo é whatsapp. Sociabilidade: não há espaço comum, só quartos apertados e banheiro. Há um espaço oferecido mas fica na rua de cima, um local inadequado, num restaurante Michelan, não há como relaxar num ambiente formal. Escada: não há elevador para subir mala, são lances de escada estreita caracol. Chuveiro frio pela manhã, água quente só a noite.
- Kenza (10/5): - Amazing location, price unbeatable. Self check in very convenient. They kept my luggage at an affiliate hotel 5min from there and the staff was adorable. Also, the bathroom were amazingly clean for a hostel
- Aycan (7/5): -
- Wilfried (9/5): -
- Mohammed (8/5): - Easy to reach, full of attractive places areound Roommate talking loudly 🤦🏻♂️ couldn't have enough rest
- Charles (9/5): -
- jayjays (10/5): - Great location and the staff was friendly but I didn't see them as it's more or less a self managed hostel. Which is fine. Room was clean, safe big storage with keys. Great location! Only 1 bathroom from what I saw. 2 levels down from my room. Loud as right in the middle of everything but I expected it so it didn't bother me.

- Bekhti 32 (6/5): - المرقد كان منظم و آمن وكل شيء من حولك يوجد النقل و الطعام عن نفسي مخالطة الناس لا تشعر بالراحة و الخصوصية
- JULIA KAROLINA (10/5): It was great - Location.
- Arthur (3/5): Holt euch was anderes - Es war zentral und billig Es gibt kein Personal kein Essen kein Aufenthaltsraum und nachts war es durch die Restaurants sehr laut
- Marika (8/5): - Perfect location, quick response to messages, easy check-in, the place was easy to find. Lots of stairs. The women's bathroom could be newer and have more shelves to put things on.But these are just small things, as the price-quality is good.
- Zakaria (8/5): -
- VANGEENBERGHE (8/5): - Bon emplacement, qualité du lit, lookers disponibles Pas d'espace commun pour sociabiliser, le bruit en mode discothèque jusqu'à 2h du matin tout les jours. Il faut considérer cet endroit juste pour dormir.
