Its cheap and cheerful but if you are on your own, you'll need a friend to get in the club. Otherwise the music will keep youbawake til 5am.
Breakfast was a highlight, but the double room i had was damp. The aircon didnt take any moisture out of the air.
Loud party time. This hotel was perfect for the party traveller if you looking for bars restaurants and night life this is your hotel. The street right outside has many clubs and bars and is incredible loud music from 10pm to 4am sleep is nearly impossible here due to the noise.
I had a wonderful time there. The staff was very cooperative and friendly
Roof top restaurant is awesome and the singer has mesmerizing voice
Loved it there
If you are looking for a convenient budget friendly place to stay, i totally recommend
They only need to work a little on repairs and maintenance but over all in this price you can't find better than this
Fully Satisfied
The AC wasn't working, no control over who enters the roo. Extremely noisy too. Couldn't even get a few hours of sleep. Ended up leaving for another place.
It's at the heart of Istanbul next to Taksim Square. Hostel itself has restaurant at the top floor until late night and excellent breakfast buffet.
It's very clean and staffs are quite friendly.
Would be better if the locker were more secure.
Captivating interior, fantastic location and friendly and easy going staff.
Room has a kitchen and the bathroom has a washing machine (at no extra cost).
Things that could be improved: more attention to shower facilities and keeping the bathroom clean and stocked, get wifi glitches resolved so it just works all of the time and not some of the time, and add a few more chairs and tables to the rooms so there's something to sit on. Working lockers to store valuables would be very useful (I had to really trust the people without even knowing who might move in without notice).
This last point is a reason I can't recommend this hostel to some people (for now).
Amazing location! The sleeping arrangement was not what I expected. Felt too closed in my opinion and couldn't really understand where the "city views" came from.
Place is ok but noisy due to parties and restaurants / bars beside .
Both hotel managers day and night are good but the volunteer guy working as a house keeping was terrible.
Washing inside the guest room not allowed to use but allowed to hear the noise .
The staff were so helpful, allowed us to leave our bags for a few hours until our bus and helped us find a taxi, drag suitcases until the main road! Room was clean, bathrooms too, considering how affordable it was. Thank you!
So I booked this location for a week because of the good reviews and price and location. But beware because you get what you pay for. Upon checking in, the front desk representative was a little cold and unreceptive. But I just shrugged it off because we all have those days. But the room. Wow. That was unexpected. The bed and sheets were dirty with hair and stains and their were no towels. After seeing the condition of the room, I started looking for a new hotel and 45 minutes later I checked out. The front desk representative asked me why and I told him the room wasn't clean. He said how is not clean and I showed him the pictures and he acknowledged that it wasn't. He offered to clean the room or change it but I politely said no thanks. I'm not taking chances esp in this time with covid. So I cancelled my reservation and left. But the worst part was, after I left, they charged me the full week stay. And 2 days later, another miscalaneous charge. Wow, talk about terrible customer service. A full charge for a 30 min stay in a dirty, unclean room. I wouldn't recommend this place and it's crazy because I've never written a bad review about any place and I've traveled all over. He said the room was dirty because of a cat but their were stains on the pillow cases and under sheets. Anyways, I just wanted to write the review because this place had received lots of good comments and that is why I booked it and I think more honest reviews should be stated...
