TJ's hostel is no longer a hostel! I stayed in the typical backpacker hostel years ago and it served it's purpose well at the time but now older and hopefully wiser I'm back but the place has had a major revamp and the rooms are now spacious and wonderfully fitted out. He has done an amazing job but then again... More

We enjoyed our stay in this hostel. The rooms are newly renovated so they are immaculately clean. The room, including the toilet, looked more than a 3-star hotel. Spacious, with big flat screen TV, etc. We had to get out of our room to confirm if we were really in a hostel. However, for some reason, there were mosquitos in... More

I'd been recommended to TS - aka Ilhami Gezici - by another Aussie-Turk in Capadoccia, and spoke with him on the phone a week or Canakkale, and had emailed him to confirm we would stay with him on the night after the tour. We caught the ferry across on the Friday morning, and TJ was there at the ferry to... More

I stumbled into this place without any prebooking from the hostel I stayed in in Canakkale... my trepidation for these arranged tours etc is tainted by poor experiences in the past... BUT, this was brilliant. As a kiwi woman travelling alone and wanting to be a pilgrim in Gallipoli, I was tremendously impressed both by TJ'sTour and the ho(s)tel -... More

I stayed at TJs as a part of a Gallipoli Tour and had a mixed experience. I was happy with the tour. TJ was very knowledgable and friendly and there was a lot packed into the half day trip. I then stayed at the hotel in one of the hostel style rooms for the night. The room was great and... More

However disappointed to not be told before hand. I understand they planned on having the hotel open again by the time we arrived. But a... More

We booked a one way Gallipoli trip via a travel agent and were outsourced to TJs. The tour involved travelling from Konya to Istanbul via Gallipoli (Cannakkale) with one night's stay. Having travelled Turkey by ourselves for two weeks, we were used to their bus system (which is fantastic), but couldn't wait to be led to places and not having... More

I didnt stay at TJs - Nor did I interact much with him. But Ali, big Fan !! Ali joined us on the tour at Eceabat, TJs Hostel - and was with us for the entire tour - Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamom. Ali, was a friend, more than a guide. He was knowledgeable, knew his history (it helped that he had... More
