Nice people, very good location but too dirty. If you can't afford dirtiness, don't try it.

A very nice hostel in the hearth of Istanbul's night life! A little bit noisy at night but it's not a problem.

I liked the atmosphere because I met a lot of good friends there....I like everithing about this hostel except sr+taff-they were very unfriendly but I was not speaking with them a lot so i had good time....I recommend for everyone to go there because in total it is the best located hostel there....

INCREDIBLY hard to find (the directions on the website and on hostelworld are useless), generally scummy and dilapidated, strange staff with poor english, hot as the seventh circle of hell, and terribly noisy (from both noise outside and the poor folks sleeping in the loft who have to climb a rickety ladder through one dorm to get to theirs). One of the poorest hostels I've seen thus farclose

a good hostel for those who wants to live in the middle of istanbul. The location is good and not so hard to find the hostel either.

Great location in in the midst of everything, but the downside has got to be that most of the staff didn't know what was going on anywhere. they would let everybody inn. great atmosphere though.

It was dirty and smelled bad. Bathrooms were few and gross. This did not happen when I switched to another Hostel in Istanbul. It was so bad that I could not sleep through the night. The staff was nice enough but you could never tell who worked there...and the free internet was just the reception computer when they did not need it...close

I enjoyed my stay at Chillout Cengo. The dormitories make for great places to meet people and everyone was down to have a good time! It was a great experience

In a noisy neighbourhood, but of course a good location. If you're gonna stay in room and try to sleep, I'm not suggesting at all. Other than that, for just a night's stay, no problem.

I booked for a few nights but left after only one. Great place if you just wanna chillout (hence the name) and do nothing. As a single girl it was a bad area to walk around in (someone followed me) and the hostel didn't even have a city map, and staff couldn't help me find the place I was trying... more I booked for a few nights but left after only one.

If you're staying for awhile Taksim is a good area, but if you want to see the sights in a shorter time period stay in Sultanhamet where I moved to.close

if you are a very heavy sleeper (you'd have to deal with a lot of pumping base from the neighbouring club) this is the GREATEST place to stay, it is like a big flat-share with the loveliest people. The showers are often broken though ... and cleanelyness is not their first concern.

We stayed on Friday and Saturday nights and as a consequence could only sleep after 4am due to very loud music nearby. A double room is a mattress on the floor, but we had a balcony, which was fun. Otherwise very good hostel.

The beds were very comfortable. the location was great - Taksim square. everyone was cool. the bathrooms were a little rough but the shower had lots of pressure and hot water. i'd definitely stay there again.

Chillout had a decidedly laid back and relaxed atmosphere, which was refreshed after a hectic day around Istanbul. Things got quite noisy at night so it was not the most restful of retreats.

Things got quite noisy at night so it was not the most restful of retreats. Music, the bustle of other hostelers and outside traffic kept us up to as late as 3am. The location was very convenient - away from the typical tourist area but in an area with unique charm and convenient transport links the Bazaar and Sultanhamet.close

the place was a bit grubby and dusty. the staff were nice enough but not great. very good location but also very noisy at night. it gets really hot in the rooms too and there are no fans or anything. no lock on one of the bathroom doors.
