06 January 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was a recommended location; we stayed for over 10 days without any problems. The staff cleaned the bedsheets any day (on demand or whenever somebody moves on), they arranged travel, breakfast every day. The other travelers were also fun: talkative Brit, globetrotting Irish, adventurous New Zealander, eager Chilean, quiet Americans, open-minded Polish, and passing-through Swedes. Best location, and we have already passed along this place to 2 friends from school; one enjoys it, the other wished she checked her email first! The staff is very friendly (Ismail, Pasha, Ercan, etc) and they are very understanding should you need help (directions with taxi driver) or hospital company (even in the middle of the night).

15 December 2007 Timothy would recommend this property

Liked: When we arrived, the staff made sure we were comfortable and offered us a cup of tea. We had booked the cheapest beds, in a large 14-person dormitory, but they gave us our own room anyway. Staff was always very friendly and helpful; when I return to Istanbul I will stay here again.

23 October 2007 Ana would recommend this property

Liked: You can go to the main places from there in just 2 min walk!!! It is near everything! Hostel's staff is very friendly! There are safety boxes to keep your money and passport (and you keep the key). However there is just one key for each dorm and the all the keys were kept on reception at easy access to anyone... therefore I had to keep my stuff locked in my luggage all the time.
