Guest Reviews

• ABDURAHMAN (1/5): -
• julien (1/5): - Le seul avantage est la position géographique. Pour le reste j’ai jamais fais un hostel qui puait autant la merde. Des gens qui puent, la femme de ménage qui te réveille, du bruit sa mère, tu veux prendre ta douche tu peux pas parce que plus d’eau. Tous les soirs je me couchait minimum à 6h pour me réveiller à 11h parce que la femme de ménage venait me taper sur l’épaule. Tout zebi tout la vie de moi c’est sale de malade
• Chenkri (10/5): - It honestly exceeded my expectations. The place was very clean and safe. The whole experience left a great impression and I will definitely be coming back, inshallah. Highly recommend it!
• Noureddine (8/5): -
• Gabriella (10/5): Foi ótima ! - A localização e pelo fato do recepcionita noturno ter me esperado para eu fazer o checking. Tinha um congresso cedo no dia posterior . Os quartos sao bastenate confortáveis. Podia ter um ferro😫..
• Zunair (7/5): It was good but it could've been better within the same facilities. Bathrooms are disappointment. - Location was perfect. Rooms were very clean. Lockers are perfect. Rooms were not spacious enough. Sanitory items were broken.
• Ару (9/5): 8/10 - The staff was polite and welcoming, and the location is convenient. I also liked that it’s a non-smoking place, which makes the atmosphere more comfortable. The prices are reasonable and match the service provided. However, cleanliness could be improved a bit. Overall, it was a decent experience. WiFi 10/10 It can be noisy at night, but it’s still possible to get some sleep. Also, there is only one restroom per floor, so you often have to wait a long time — sometimes even up to an hour. That was honestly quite disappointing and inconvenient.
• Fayez (2/5): - Unfortunately it wasn’t clean and the noise was very loud from the neighbors ( Night clubs ) . I wish they can work on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and fix them.
• Jhon Leonel (10/5): - El hostel es muy agradable, los recepcionistas son muy agradables, respetuosos, hablan en ingles y si necesitas algo te ayudan, las instalaciones estan limpias, los cuartos cumplen su funcion, la cama es comoda, se puede pagar con tarjeta o efectivo, el lugar esta en el centro de estambul y hay tiendas y lugares para comer bastante cerca del hostel y esta cerca de lugares turisticos de estambul como la torre Galata
• Айганым (10/5): - Отдельные кровати, свой балкон, дают чай и кофе и воду горячую. Двери очень громко шумят
• MARIO ENRIQUE (10/5): Excelente y muy cerca de las atracciones turísticas - Todo el edificio es cómodo

• Renato Petille (6/5): - Gostei da localização, mas o quarto é meio apertado e a cama não é muito confortável. Quarto pequeno
• Aneen Oday Abed (2/5): -
• Barun Dahal (5/5): So location and accessibility is great but noise and washroom are the killers - Accessibility and convenience and great fellowz working there Umut and others Bad bathroom no kitchen bad common area
• markou (1/5): - bad bad
• Christoph (10/5): -
• Victória (6/5): - Os funcionários são gentis O quarto feminino, só tem 1 tomada no quarto inteiro, a acústica dos quartos é péssima, muito barulho.
• Marko (10/5): - Everything was fine.
• Aidai (10/5): - Да очень понравилось, но было возле отеля драка I stayed at this hotel and unfortunately my experience was very bad. During my stay, a fight broke out at the hotel and there were even gunshots. It was very frightening and felt extremely unsafe. I was very scared and did not feel protected at all. For a place where guests are supposed to relax and feel safe, this situation is completely unacceptable. Guest safety should be the top priority, but it clearly was not here.I cannot recommend this hotel because incidents like this make the place feel very unsafe.
• Medina Acosta (7/5): -
• Mukhammadjonov (9/5): - Отношение цены и качество - самое хорошее. Персонал вежливый, хорошо владеют английским языком. Немного шумновато по ночам. Из-за того что находится рядом с улицей Истикляль
• Abheeth (1/5): -
• Juzer (8/5): - The bed were comfortable and everything were fine in the given price The washroom area is very less and can be little more clean.
• Sean (3/5): - Staff were very nice and helpful Bathrooms were a broken mess. Missing shower doors, missing brackets for shower heads, toilet seats breaking off. Loud alarms from doors going off anytime someone enters
• Alona (8/5): - Розташування хостелу супер, поруч Істікляль та Таксім, багато кафе. Вночі трохи шумно, але терпимо. Привітний персонал, без проблем організував самозаселення вночі. В кімнаті чисто та охайно. За такі гроші, якщо потрібно переночувати в транзиті - ідеально. Під час мого перебування не працювала кімната з кухнею, але на рецепції можна було попросити закип‘ятити воду та зробити собі чай або каву, або запарити кашу.

• lia (10/5): - sicuramente consigliato!!! posizione eccellente, molti pub nelle vicinanze.
• Saniyat (10/5): -
• Vasileios (6/5): - η τοποθεσία ήταν τέλεια. το δωμάτιο καθαρό και σχετικά άνετο η καθαριοτητα του μπάνιου (πλημμυριζε μετα απο καθε μπανιο) και η φασαρία από το κλαμπ που ήταν δυο στενα πιο πανω
• Dulustan (10/5): - Good hostel! -
• Levenets (1/5): - Noise outside Lots of warer in bathroom Broken showers Not enough hangers to hang my jackets
• Carolina (1/5): Do not trust the photos. This hostel is very dirty. - Extremely dirty (bathroom especially).
• Leonardo (4/5): -
• Keremcan (7/5): - Tesisin konumu çok iyi,odalar temiz,banyolar tertemiz.Odaların kartla açılması ve dolapların kilitlenenilir ve büyük olması çok iyiydi Banyoda askılık olmaması kötüydü.Kaldığım yatağın altına sunta bir tahta konması gerekiyordu ki ,yatak aşağı kaymasın.
• Matias (8/5): - Habia abundante papel higienico de calidad, servilletas para secarse las manos y toallas. Las habitaciones y las camas bien equipadas y cómodas. La ubicación es muy buena, a dos cuadras de la avenida con más movimiento de todo Esfambul, lleno de negocios y restaurantes La ubicación tiene un lado B: si vas a descansar, el ruido de la calle entra por la ventana y es difícil tener buenas horas de sueño. Además, el hostel tiene 4 pisos sin ascensor. También aclarar que en la descripción decían que tenían cocina pero no la tienen
• Manar (1/5): -
• Abdul (5/5): - Good location but bad is not comfortable
• Даша математик (5/5): Общение персонала с гостями - хорошее, но само состояние хостела оставляет желать лучшего. Цена - качество в целом, совп - Расположение, близко к основной улице Истикляль, до ближайшего метро Таксим примерно 15 минут пешком. Вежливый персонал, всегда стараются пойти навстречу, если нет знаний языка перевести с помощью переводчика, следят за чистотой лобби. В номере был небольшой балкон, кондиционер, тумбочка, выдали полотенца. В душе есть фен На каждом этаже есть вайфай В лобби есть настольные игры, столы, летняя терасса(мы были в январе, поэтому была закрыта, летом, думаю, приятно) Качество санузлов - пару раз ломалась лейка для душа, полноценной дверцы в душе нет, отопления тоже, в период зимы греет помещение только полотенцесушитель, если он включён, если нет, то крайне холодно и неудобно. Так как пробемы с с/у везде, то некоторые приходят на более удачные этажи с душевыми и образуется время ожидания около 15 минут на одну более адекватную кабинку Если вы хотите попить в хостеле или перекусить, нужно заранее купить чай, кофе, напитки, еду, в хостеле есть только вода. В хостеле есть возможность попросить кипяток с 10:00 до 00:00 через ресепшен бесплатно, есть чашки, ложки Обратите внимание на номер размещения, в некоторых номерах, насколько я понимаю из плана эвакуации, и по самому дому, нет окон
• Nikita (10/5): - Everything is fine, except for a small problem with the shower The shower hose on the 2nd floor needs to be replaced.
• Minire (5/5): -
• Espejo Vazquez (8/5): -
• QiNing (10/5): -
• muhammad hussain (7/5): -
• IMRAN (7/5): -
• Andrei (9/5): - Everything was perfect! Umut is one the friendliest hostel managers I‘ve met, the room was cozy, with only 3 more people, with all the necessary equipment such as lockers and curtains. Just a small inconvenience - no shower gel in the bathroom.
• Toufik (10/5): -
• RYO (6/5): -
• Grégory (1/5): Horrible à fuir! - Rien ! L’établissement est très sale, j’avais demandé un lit en bas 15 jours avant mon arrivée, et quand je suis arrivé Ils m’ont donc donné un lit en hauteur, si vous regardez bien les photos, il n’y a aucune sécurité, vous pouvez tomber à n’importe quel moment! Les chambres sont très petites, vous avez l’impression de dormir avec votre Voisin! Les casiers ne sont pas dans la chambre, ils sont dans une remise avec une porte qui donne à l’extérieur. Tout le monde peut rentrer dans cette pièce. La salle de bain, la douche était extrêmement sale tout l’établissement est sale Le gérant ne voulait pas me rembourser car je ne voulais pas rester, il a fallu que j’appelle la police pour qu’il me laisse partir! ( alors que je devais rester cinq nuits au total ) J’ai passe une nuit horrible dans cet établissement qui donne sur un club hyper bruyant! Je vous le déconseille très fortement, surtout qu’il y a des hôtels cinq euros plus cher, et vous avez beaucoup plus de confort! , je me demande comment Booking peut mettre ce genre d’établissement sur son site! C’est une honte
• Thutrang (7/5): -
• Thutrang (7/5): Straightforward check in process. Luggage storage available. Comfortable room and bathroom. No kitchen access. Rooftop v - Lounge has sofas and desks to work from. The 2 bedroom female suite was comfortable. Nice hostel to relax after a day of walking around the city Be careful walking up the stairs. You may bump your head on the concrete design when going up and down the stairs lol
• Dmitriy (7/5): - Good location, but it’s better to sleep with earplugs. The rooms are very small. If all the beds are occupied, I can’t imagine how there’s enough space to fit everyone.
• Mohammed Jane Alam (8/5): -
• Djamel (8/5): -
• Amador (10/5): Just what I was looking for in Istanbul - Good location, close to shops and tourist attractions, and not noisy. Super attentive staff. They could improve the electronic sound the doors make when opening and closing.

• Hasy.Yuan (7/5): - 整体来说，这是一家优缺点都非常明显的青旅。 优点： 位置很好，位于塔克辛附近，出行方便 其中一位老板非常友善，常主动与客人交流，还会请客人喝土耳其茶，让人感到温暖 提供两人女生间这一房型（这一点在伊斯坦布尔的青旅中并不多见，对女生来说是加分项） 总结： 如果你看重位置、预算和女生房型，这里是可以考虑的选择； 但如果你是深夜独自抵达的女性旅客，或比较在意安全感与基本的人情关怀，建议提前做好心理和行程准备。 我认为这家旅舍完全有空间做得更好，尤其是在夜间沟通、对独自到达旅客的应对，以及最基本的服务意识方面。是否愿意改进，取决于管理者对“服务”本身的理解和重视程度。 Overall, this hostel has very clear strengths and weaknesses. Pros: Good location near Taksim, convenient for transportation One of the owners is genuinely warm and welcoming, often offering Turkish tea and making guests feel at Overall: This hostel may suit travelers who prioritize location, budget, and room type. However, for solo female travelers arriving late at night or those who value safety awareness and basic human warmth, I would recommend caution and preparation. There is clearly room for improvement, especially in night-time communication and staff service awareness. Whether that happens depends on how much the management values hospitality itself. 需要提前知晓的不足： 从周三开始到周末，周边会进入 happy / party 状态，音乐和人声常常持续到凌晨三四点，对睡眠要求高的人不太友好（这是周围环境的客观问题） 有一天我在凌晨一点左右独自抵达，当时手机无法连接网络，也无法查看 WhatsApp 信息，因而找不到旅舍的具体位置 在我遇到困难并主动联系工作人员后，对方表示我“打扰了他”，我作为客人第一时间向他道歉；第二天由于实在太累，登记入住时间较晚，老板表示理解 虽然工作人员有通过 WhatsApp 给我发消息，但在我明确无法查看信息、又是深夜独自到达的情况下，并未提供进一步的指引或确认我是否安全到达 入住后，由于手机没电，我询问充电插座时，对方表示自己已经下班，希望不再被打扰，态度较为冷淡，这一点让我感到不太舒服 在我连续入住近十天、几乎每天在一楼公共空间工作的情况下，这位工作人员从未主动与我说过一句话；反而有一次是我主动送了他一个橘子，而另一位老板则会主动请我喝茶，这种服务态度上的反差非常明显 They offer a female twin room, which is not very common among hostels in Istanbul and is a plus for female travelers Things to be aware of: From Wednesday to the weekend, the surrounding area becomes a happy / party zone, with music and noise often lasting until 3–4 a.m. (this is mainly an environmental issue) I arrived alone around 1 a.m., with no mobile signal and unable to access WhatsApp messages, which made it difficult to find the hostel When I contacted the staff for help, I was told that I was “disturbing” him. As a guest, I apologized immediately. The next day, due to exhaustion, I completed registration later, which the owner said he understood Although the staff did send messages via WhatsApp, in a situation where I clearly could not read them and was arriving alone late at night, no further guidance or confirmation of my safe arrival was provided After check-in, my phone had no battery and I asked about charging. I was told the staff member was already off duty and did not wish to be disturbed. The attitude felt rather cold Despite staying for nearly ten days and working daily in the common area, this staff member never initiated any interaction. Interestingly, I once offered him an orange, while another owner would proactively offer Turkish tea. The contrast in attitude was very noticeable
• Thomas (7/5): Very friendly and supportive staff. - Location is very good. Room was a bit noisy. Door needs some oil.
• Ali (9/5): -
• Guest (8/5): Estuvo muy bien - La ubicación muy bien, no tuve desayuno. Buena atención de los funcionarios. Deben mejorar ciertas cosas
• Khassan (7/5): - Место не далеко от центра и цена нормальная Очень маленькая комната и слишком все спят близко еще и храпят без остановки все Клуб рядом все очень шумно
• Abdulrhman (5/5): Everything was good but the bed was very bad - The location The bed wasn't comfortable and loud
• Windur Ali (7/5): Budget friendly and proximity to lot of restaurants! -
• Rigoberto (10/5): -
• Nuray (8/5): Tekrar gelirim.. - Çok merkezi, çalışanlar şeffaf ve yardımcı.. Şehrin ortası , çok gürültülü..
• Yadigar (10/5): - Çok güzel Heç bir şey
• Elika (10/5): -
• Frank (7/5): - Good location, clean and comfortable. Adequate for the price Would have been nice to be able to make a beverage when having a few hours rest before going out again. Noise from the adjacent rave bar/night club made sleep almost impossible till well into the night. I was glad I had earplugs. The room window failed to shut fully. That could have helped deaden the noise. A chair in the room would also have been helpful. The noise destroyed any chance of me recommending this hostel to other travellers. Very lucky to get a 7 rating, probably should have gone for a 6, but the staff were helpful.
• Rostom (10/5): -
• Halfaoui (1/5): - No think 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
• Truong Huy (4/5): I will never come back here! - Very close to the center The staff are not friendly, I sent messages on booking and WhatsApp but no one answered. The toilet is small and stagnant, the tap is broken, not clean. The curtains for the bed are quite small. There is no curfew so tourists are very noisy, I have stayed in many hostels around the world and this is the worst. The room is not soundproof so there is a lot of noise from drunk people outside. I came here and paid for it but I think it is not worth it no matter how cheap it is. I will never come back here!
