Liked: The staff are fantastic! You can't help but love these guys. It was also a really great location and an excellent place to meet other travelers.

Disliked: Not super clean and most bathrooms were lacking something (light, toilet paper or soap). I also had something of value stolen from a common area, so watch out!

Liked: Great location! Staff was very friendly I stayed in an all girls dorm which was very nice but the larger mixed dorms dont look like fun. Very crowded.

Disliked: They would close the roof and upstairs lounge so you were forced into the bar area which nice but not as calm and pretty

Liked: Great atmosphere, staff were a lot of fun and really friendly!

Disliked: Overall it was pretty good, although the baggage room was open to anyone who walked into the hostel, as was the 30-bed dorm. Maybe have bag lockers for each of the beds?

08 June 2010 Laura would recommend this property

Liked: Very friendly staff and awesome location. One problem - the receptionist told us he was making us a reservation get on the airport shuttle and he never made it! So we ended up having to take a taxi which cost us 100 lira! And when we told the guy in the morning what was going on he just said that there was nothing he could do and that we'd just have to get to the airport on our own bill. So make sure they actually put you on the reservation list if you want to get to the airport!!

Liked: It was a pleasure to stay at this hostel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly; the place was clean; breakfast was good; two public computers with Internet access were available; and the beer was cheap. My only complaints are that one morning several of the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and the showers ran out of hot water.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
