Paul MaycockStaff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Late checkout secured with minimal fuss and modest fee. The single room was tiny, mainly taken up by the superbly comfortable double bed. If you've ever stayed at a Formula1, you'll know roughly what to expect in terms of space and furnishings (although there's no parking or automated check-in). I would stay again, but probably not ideal for extended periods. |

sebastian jurkiewiczToo many stairs to climb to get to the communal area. But nice view from the top. Internet wasn't working and when it did it was slow like hell. But overall I liked this place and staff were very friendly and helpful. |

Erin NorbyThe staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location - near the old town with all the tourist sites, but also close to Taksim. It is also very close to a metro stop which was great, and just around the corner from the train station. Definitely recommend it! |

Customer reviewThe property is located in the center of Istanbul near Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Museum and the Archeology Museum. The place is clean and comfortable and staff is very kind and helpful. Moreover the cost is reasonable. I had a good stay in this hotel and I recommend it to anyone who wants to travel to Istanbul. |

Michael EdwardsNice place ... can do better, can do much worse. Couple of desktop computers on the top floor, laundry you drop off and pay for, small breakfast but good location. We stayed in a two person room, huge bunk bed but made it a tight small room, but was secure and cozy for sleeping. Right next to the main attractions of Turkey ... good place, nice atmosphere ... would recommend. |

Customer reviewThe owner and his staff are extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had a great time in Istanbul. I actually ended up staying longer because of them! Everything in the hostel is brand new and you get sheets, towels and a huge breakfast for free. The location is great because you are close to the train station and all major attractions. There is no air conditioning so if you don't do well with the heat you may not want to stay here in the summer months. |

Claire EvansGreat location in a slightly less tourist area between the old town and new town. The hostel's only been open a couple of months and the staff are happy to take on sugestions from travellers for improvement. Very clean rooms, fast internet, free towels and a nice roof space with great views of the city. |

James PhillipsVery clean, fr?endly staff and a wonderful upsta?rs hang-out area. We would suggest perhaps portable fans ?n the rooms as ?t was a l?ttle warm, but not unbearable. |
