Price is fair. Easy to reach from airport using bus/tram/metro. The location is very near to Blue Mosque n Hagia Sophia (one of the most popular tourist sites in the city). Very nice roof cafe which usually used for the breakfast.

The boss was really unfriendly. He didn't let us use the kitchen, nor the fridge, not even overnight and suggested rudely i hang my stuff which needs to be cooled on the window cause the breeze might cool it!!! plus he charged me roughly 4 euros more in total for 3 nights just because i wanted to pay in the local currency and not in euros. the hostel was pretty dirty too. if you ignore the boss though the remaining staff was really friendly, even teaching me some phrases in turkish, telling me which bus lines to take to get to my desired destination, playing backgammon with us and teaching us other typical turkish games on the terrace. the internet was free and you didn't have to wait long to use it. in general it is a nice place to be, but with 2 really unfriendly people who are in charge. if you avoid them life will be perfect:)

The hostel is really near the blue mosque which was good, and the breakfast provided was fine. The rooftop terrace is really nice, except I kept being followed by the creepy barman - not so good...

Nice spacious rooms, compared to other hostels in Turkey. With dirty floor though. Very quiet location. Poor breakfasts.

cheap and good location, staff is helpful, a bit hard to speak about more complex problems in English - like everywhere in Turkey.
