It is a scam. We booked a double room; upon arrival the helpful receptionist (which quickly changed in the course of what happened next) took as to the basement room with no windows, no furniture no nothing besides a twin bed. After our amazement, he promised to move us upstairs the next day when a room gets free. Since we... More

This place is awful. In the day me have been stolen there. The service is bad, and staff unfriendly. Many Problems with the staff. If you ask, the staff did not respond in English, I asked for the loss of money and have insulted me and shouted in Turkish, in addition to open my room to insult, horrible place!

The location of hostel is perfect. All Old Town and Istanbul you can have easily from here. Unfortunately building was under construction and smell of paint was everywhere. Room was very cold and wet. There's only 1 shower for everyone and Internet is really poor.. But the staff is really nice and for that value of money and location it's... More

This is a simple place, probably not the brighter one but cheap and with a very friendly staff. It is in the heart of the city, just near from the blue mosquee, and the tramway is very close. It's very practical to move on.

This place is awful. If you have any love to your money stay somewhere else in town. In the same day me and other two people have been stolen there. People from the hostel staff sneaked into the private accommodations and "cleaned the guests". Besides, the toilets are bad, and in the third floor there is no door knob or... More

I'd booked some other place online who overbooked me and was traipsing about with all my bags. I turned up here and they seemed kind of friendly. They had a room below ground level that looked (up) to peoples ankles in the restaurants, or a nearby apartment room in a building that housed the staff. I took the room, and... More

If what you are looking for in a hostel is a $7 bed in a 12 bed dorm then this is your place. My boyfriend and I were looking for an inexpensive private room in Istanbul. The best Island hotel was not great. In fact it was awful. Our room was dirty, our sheets were stained, and the shower had... More

The owner of this hostel just canceled our reservation for 12 people without any reason and without inform us. Once we arrived there he had a strong argument extremely rude to force us to accept that it was our mistake and hot his. The cleaning of this hostel is really bad and the staff extremely unfriend. I do not recommend... More

This hostel was average. The location is probably the best thing about it, if you want to do all of the main touristy things in the old part of town. The double rooms are right off the hostel lobby--no bueno.
