Unfortunately, it was the most unclean hostel we have stayed in over the last 3 months. The ensuite looked as tho it hadn't been cleaned for at least that long! The shower, which had tempermental hot water, flooded everytime we used it - hate to think what was down the plughole! Disappointing that such an easy thing to fix meant we were glad we only stayed 2 nights.close

Great location, and got picked up at the bus stop, very handy. Girls be careful of the wandering Turkish hands of one of the guys working there, could make you uncomfortable. Also watch exchange rates when booking tickets at the hostel, tried to cheat me out of money when converting Euro to Lira.

This hostel was fantastic. Ali and his family (the staff) were the most helpfull and friendly people we'd come across in the trip, and they gave great advice (never trying to rip you off). could not recommend this place high enough. Also - great view over the harbour

Great value with breakfast, free pick up, free welcome drink. Ali is a real character. Fantastic location if you're catching boat to Samos- 3 mins walk to ferry. Right next to market. Easy to catch bus to beach. (Beach a bit grotty though!) Highly recommended.

If you're a young woman traveling alone just say yes when someone asks you if you have a boyfriend! Also, the bathroom was pretty gross - mold on the shower curtain. However, for 15E for my own room with AC and a bathroom it was a pretty good deal, minus the creepy factor.close

Nonetheless, it was located really close to the port, within walking distance of Ladies Beach (a popular beach) and close to many of the other tourist attractions in Kusadasi. Ali, who works at the hostel was incredible. When I expressed some desire to go to the beach, he talked me out of it and guided me to an inexpensive boat trip instead. The trip included a fantastic lunch, trips to three beaches and a whole day of floating on the Aegean Sea with a load of others from all over the world. Ali also helped me book my travels onward to Greece and answered many (many) questions about the city. Apart from the helpful advice and the great location, the included breakfast was great. I loved the fresh bread --- a little too much, perhaps. I thought the hostel was a great deal, and would stay there again in a heartbeat.close
