This is exactly as advertised! Hosts were very kind, offering tea and coffee all day as well as the complimentary breakfast. Perfect location for getting to all major attractions in the city as well as lots of dining options nearby. Would definitely recommend as an affordable stay in Istanbul!

Location is great but hygiene, furniture, service, room size, are poor. No elevators and very narrow stairways. Hygiene is on the downside, Always a weird smell.

The bathroom never was cleaned. Our bedroom wasn’t ready. We had to move to other bedroom. Nobody was there when we arrived. The stairs are very poorly built, if you go with the elderly it will be very difficult for them to climb. If you go with heavy suitcases you will suffer a lot there. There is no elevator.

Dirty, not maintained, poor condition and service.

Dirty, bad service, hot, no AC. It’s a hostel so no amenities, no cleaning items, nothing. The terrace shown in the picture is not available for that use. There are few tables, not cleaned, no light available, not clean….

Très bien placé, personnels sympathiques et belle vue depuis la terrasse, mais c’est les seuls points positifs. La propreté laisse à désirer (toilette pas propre, coton tige sale sur le sol de la salle de bain…), tout est cassé, … pas génial.

Buena ubicación pero es muy básico

Es un hostal muy básico, igualmente el desayuno, entre las cosas buenas esta la ubicación. El servicio de recepción no trabaja 24/7 para que lo tomen en cuenta. Es un lugar prácticamente para ir a dormir solamente.
