Ehh - cheap hostel and low quality
It was not a comfortable stay. The toilet was broken and the toilet paper ran out. We have asked the house keeper to get more but no one did anything.

I would come again next time
Great location. Super friendly staff, they aren’t at the reception 24/7 but you just text then on WhatsApp and they Are there for you in 5-10min. Clean but not exceptionally clean. But the location and Price Are unbeatable !! I would recommend anyone who doesn’t mind the hostel feel and care first and foremost about location to stay here

Everything you would want from a hostel and more. New and super clean. Very close to main attractions and only 5 minutes walk to Aya Sofia. The guys are friendly, extremely helpful and speak perfect english. I would definitely return to this hostel!

Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Was auch in Istanbul wichtig ist.Da die Taxis unverschämte Wucher Preise haben . Das schöne ist mit vielen Menschen aus aller Welt zusammen zu sein und zu Diskutieren und von deren Lânder was zu erfahren.
