The hostel was well served, clean and professional. The free wireless Laptop was a good service. Since it is a hostel: the rooms contained beds and nothing else.

The location is good. But don't use the internet at this hostel; they'll hack into your email and leave reviews on this site in your name! On the whole the hostel is overpriced for what it offers, it most definitely needs to be thoroughly cleaned and renovated, and as we learned, the owners are devious and untrustworthy.

this place is awful. it was so noisy and bright (the doors have huge windows in them, letting all the light from the hallways into the room) that we couldn't sleep...we spent our first day in istanbul tired, cranky, and miserable. we had booked 4 nights but decided after the first night that if we continued staying at best island, we would hate istanbul. to their credit, they did refund us 1 out of the 4 nights (even though we only slept there one night). we ended up double paying for accommodation (at best island and our new hotel) for two nights, and we don't regret it one bit. save yourself the trouble and don't book this hostel!

The only thing going for this this property is the location, however, there are a bunch of hostels in the same area so it's not a great advantage.
