- Gleb (10/5): - Good place to stay
- seitarako (5/5): There’s a good reason why it’s so cheap - This hostel is cheap considering the location and the average price of accommodation in Istanbul. Something was wrong with a water heater, and I couldn't use hot water in the shower room.
- Gleb (10/5): - Good service, nice area.

- Artis (6/5): Not bad - The owner and staff was really nice and helpful,good location Its a gamble with the people you get with,had a guy snoring so loud i couldnt sleep fall asleep for 3 hours,also the toilet needs some work,its okay the water is warm in the shower but its leaking on the floor
- Kevin (1/5): - le gérant à été très aimable et à même accepté que j'accède à mon lit plus tôt que prévu à 10h comme je venais tôt et l'emplacement est bien proche de Taksim. Ce sont en revanche les seuls points positifs de cet endroit. l'auberge est absolument dégeulasse, nous nous trouvons au sous-sol sans fenêtre (ce qui n'est pas un problème en soit si c'était le seul problème mais ça annonce le décor), de la moisissure partout dans la salle de bain ! le sol sale, une ambiance glauque et d'autres personnes qui sont arrivés après moi on trouvés des bêtes mortes dans leur matelas ??? ils sont partis j'étais trop choqués et j'attendais qu'on nous préviennes et qu'il fasse quelque chose pour nettoyer ça rapidement et devinez quoi ? non rien. Bref il a beau être gentil l'endroit et trop sale et je ne le recommande absolument pas j'ai quitté directement l'auberge sans passer la nuit la-bas.

- Adam (10/5): - Owner bery kind
- Mohammad (10/5): - Great value for money in a central spot. Everything was seamless, but the highlight was the hospitality. Reza was a legend, super helpful with local tips and always had a kind word. If you're looking for a friendly place in Istanbul, this is it.
- Edmund (10/5): -
- Maya (6/5): -
- RONALD (1/5): - Localização, atendimento do funcionário da recepção e preço. Não tem fiscalização (funcionário no local), e os ambientes são integrados, consequentemente as pessoas fazem muito barulho de madrugada, atrapalhando o sono e não limpam as coisas que usam na cozinha.

The bathroom was cleaned every day by the staff. They really cared about making sure you had a good time during your trip and really did the best they could. Coming again and recomended you this hostel. 😍 Not wanting to leave here.

- zhefei (10/5): 性价比高 - 安静,暖和,黑暗。在地下室没有阳光,冬天有开暖气,一觉睡到中午。柜子很大,床很软,有厨房可以做饭。 唯一不足是卫生间和浴室只有一间,人多需要排队。
- zeko (8/5): مكان جيد وعنوانه قريب للمساجد والمحلات التجارية ومحلات الغذائية مثل سوق او 101 stor او محلا البقالة - مرحبا المضيف رضا كان تعامله جيد جدا وإنسان خلوق وضريف المكان نضيف ومرتب ومريح وهادئ وموقعه ممتاز قريب لشارع الإستقلال نعم لديه مشكلة تسريب ماء في الحمام يجب اصلاح
- MUHAMMAD (5/5): - Bad not comfortable Cleaning good staff good
- Opp (9/5): - good location just walking 5 mins for clubbing.
- Nelson (2/5): - Nada El señor de recepción no es amable, la habitación es un sótano sin iluminación natural, solo un bombillo en la cocina, baño y habitación que no apagan nunca sin importarles que hay personas descansando. Muy sucio todo, el baño sin papel higiénico, huele pésimo el baño y habitación, sábanas, almohada y cobija con pelos y sudor de los anteriores turistas. Los pocos utensilios de la cocina sucios y en mal estado. No se puede freír un huevo porque se te pega. No hay insonorización, todo lo que hablan en la cocina se escucha en la habitación. Pero lo peor de todo es la falta de ventilación y de luminosidad. NO LO RECOMIENDO.
- Pablo (3/5): -
- Joseph (4/5): - L’emplacement Dortoir Surchargé et pas très propre
- Jo235 (8/5): Slightly above average by international standards, but reasonable at this price - Good location, clean shared bathroom (with automatic plastic liner on toilet seat!), and most importantly a simple but sturdy and very well made bed with crisp clean cotton bedsheets and a warm blanket. The staff member on duty was very polite and I was lucky that my fellow occupants were quiet, decent and considerate. I felt safe and reasonably comfortable. I would stay there again if I am on a budget. The dormitory space and common area, which were in the basement, were really quite tight, and might be quite uncomfortable if there were rowdy/ loud/ unwashed/ sick occupants (thankfully this did not happen to me). The locker space is good for a small backpack only, and cannot fit a stabdard cabin bag. There was only 1 common bathroom/toilet for the 10 bunk beds. It takes awhile for messages to be replied, and there was only 1 staff on duty when I was there, so it took over half an hour for me to receive a response so that I could check out, even though it was around 10am. Far from perfect, but all in all, by international standards, slightly above average for a shared dorm, but reasonable at at this price.

- Jaffer (1/5): - الموقع فقط دورة المياه سيئة جداً ولا يوجد باب في الغرفة ولا تهوئة و ليس ثمت أي أنظمة في المكان ازعاج مستمر طوال اليوم
- MDE (1/5): - Sie manipulieren Menschen mit Falschinformationen. Es ist ein Ort, den man nie wieder betreten wird.
- AGOUZZAL (3/5): - Moyen mais il faut que faire mieux que ça
- Nafees (5/5): Budgetory choice for solo travelers just for one night stay. - Close to Taksim Square There is just one shared bathroom which is very small and very dirty as well.
- hooman (10/5): -
- Matthieu Gallet (2/5): - L'emplacement est assez bien situé Le bruit, la propreté est mauvaise, la douche fuit, les toilettes sont dégueulasse
- hooman (10/5): -
- Akash (6/5): Overall, my stay was fine, but the check-in delay and limited bathroom facilities affected the experience. - It was clean and tidy. I had to wait outside for about 40 minutes for check-in, and no one came to the door until a group of girls arrived then the host suddenly appeared from inside. It felt rude and unfair. Also, there is only one toilet shared by around 10–12 people, which was very inconvenient.

Besonders möchte ich den Rezeptionisten Herrn Reza loben – er war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und professionell. Er hat uns bei allem unterstützt und unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht. Das Zimmer war sauber, ruhig und sehr komfortabel. Es gab nichts, worüber man sich beschweren könnte. Alles war perfekt.
- Muneer (1/5): - Nothing not like Daily not cleaning Toilets and rooms, they have no cleaning staff, who are staying at the hostel they want to clean toilet and every place in hostel.
Toilet terrible upstairs toilet water coming down, when we are showering then upstairs toilet water coming to our body.
They didn't provide Blanket,Bedsheets and pillow vover

- hooman (10/5): - Der Aufenthalt war wirklich angenehm! Die Lage ist perfekt – mitten im Herzen von Taksim, alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Besonders möchte ich mich beim Rezeptionisten Herrn Reza bedanken – er war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer mit einem Lächeln da. Dank ihm fühlte ich mich wie zu Hause. Die Atmosphäre war gemütlich und sauber, das Personal aufmerksam und respektvoll. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Eigentlich war alles super

- Josef (3/5): - location basement without windows, leaking air conditioner, trice overpriced. the real price is not 286€, the real price for 30 days is 90€.
I had been telling to employee Reso (that's how he introduced himself) to do refund by what jw gethered by cash from others the 196€.
I paid by credit card at the time of booking 286€.
Even now is not late to do refund into my credit card the overpayment of 196€.
Why that hostel triples prices?
Must be in black dressed owner was coming, nobody of them overed to me refund of 196€ or any other refund.
they grab like gypsies and happy.
