DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOSTEL. I've travelled throughout Asia (including India which is notorious for being dirty) and I've never stayed anywhere so filthy. The bathrooms were beyond belief with water leaking from the roof, urine on the floor which was never cleaned, and pieces of plastic being used to cover rotting or broken areas. Although not completely sure, the sheets on our double bed hadn't been changed before we arrived. This despite a poster on the ground level advising guests 'not to us Anne, from France ~ 3rd Sep 2011

It has a very nice ambience, you meet very nice people in there, but it's very dirty, my room had fleas and I got all bitten, the toilet has infiltration and the shower isn't the most higienic thing... Miguel, from Portugal ~ 2nd Sep 2011

I liked it anyway. It's not ideal but still... Good positioning in the sity, not far from party centre - Taksim Square. And of course it's very very very cheap) Many people told me that it's a cheapest place they ever been) Dmitry, from Russia ~ 30th Jul 2011

I have rated high because the room price is very cheap, the location is is in a very good position and staff are friendly. When I moved in the bathroom/toilet situation was not good, but had subsequently improved. Mohammad, from England ~ 5th Jul 2011

Cheap possibility to have a great time in Istanbul: Located in the city centre (Taxim, a very nice quarter with an enchanting atmosphere), you can reach all the important sights of Istanbul by foot. Of course it's no luxury hotel, but the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is very nice. Antonia, from Germany ~ 6th Jul 2011

Terrible place! Very loud and dirty! Bathrooms like in hell! Anatoly, from Russia ~ 25th Apr 2011

It was disgusting (for example the opened bin is full of used toilet paper: very exciting when you take a first look to the hostel...). Moreover, the shower is in the same room (2 square meters)right beside the toilet and the bin... We didn't even stay a night, we left 30 minutes after having arrived. We paid the guy (he tried to cheat us) and we left.
