Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location. Room a bit cramped but good value and perfectly adequate. Breakfast very disappointing - virtually the same plate every morning but with one extra not very appetising or healthy option - cold pasta, cold chips, cold deep fried pastry, cold potato salad. Not the delightful buffet of delicious breads and jams and cheeses etc that I have loved in Turkey in the past. A shame. Bring back the buffet!

Passei 3 noites sem dormir direito …

A localização é ótima, muito próximo a Mesquita Azul , Mesquita Haya Sofia e ao Palácio Topikapi . Agora o atendimento na recepção é péssimo. Não existe nenhuma orientação para os hóspedes observarem silêncio depois das 2200 h , então alguns chegam 0100 h da manhã e acendem a luz do quarto, e fazem o maior barulho, sem se importar com os hóspedes que já estão dormindo. Tem que pagar 50 TL se quiser uma toalha ( toda puída ) . O café da manhã é bem fraco ( a senhora que atende no café da manhã é muito educada) . Não recomendo e não voltaria a me hospedar neste Hostel.

Larissa

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My most important review is that the travelers (especially solo female ones) need to be aware of one male receptionist who was extremely rude to me multiple times. I am not sure what triggered that man, but that was the worst experience in Turkey for me. He threatened me and made me feel unsafe. I had no choice but to stay there, I wish I had an option to move elsewhere since there are lost of other budget friendly places in that area. I would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about being treated with respect and dignity. Stay away.
