Location was great, right next to lots of the main attractions. Staff were very helpful, recommended good places to go to see and also to eat, check out Sofa restaurant - 5 mins walk from the hostel. Roof top bar also has great views.

This is a transcending unique experience. I have stayed at a number of hostels across Europe and East Asia, and this is by far within the top cadre of our world's hostels. Guaranteed must-stay for a visit to Turkey.

The breakfast was a bit better than the low-budget regular and it was accompanied by a great view. The bed mattresses may need to be replaced soon (I could very clearly feel where the springs were) and at times the noise outside my window woke me up.close

Great location, in the middle of everything and very clean. Just need to be very careful to change or cancel the booking 72 hours ahead, other wise they will charge you directly on your card. Anyway, the staffs are very helpful and we had good time staying in Istanbul.

I guess they should try to get bigger beds. I'm 180 cm and i barely fitted in the bed. The security was great, I had no issues, but they should provide or atleast rent locks for the lockers as any of the guests could access your locker if you don't have a lock.
