Erasmus Hostel in Istanbul, Turkey

Reaching the hostel was easy.Camber the owner was waiting for me down the street after my telephone call. The hostel is close to galata bridge where you can eat safe street food -fresh fish 1.80€ sea shell 0,40€. I had a quiet sleep, the bed was comfortable . I booked 10 beded room which was 90% full,asked Camber to swich me to an other dorm and he did put me in a 8beded room,that was cooler 20% full. THNKY. KONSTANTINOS, from Greece ~ 13th Nov 2009

This hostel is cheap, with laid back guests & key entry. But it's filthy. The walls are crumbling, beds crammed, theres only 2 combined toilet and shower bathrooms for the entire 25 bed place so access is problematic! When you can get into toilet/shower, thongs/flip flops are a MUST for health reasons! Wall flakes, grime, hair and other nasties fill the drain and bathroom floor for all 3 days I stayed here. People stay here for price & dont mention grime as the owner is 'nice'. Id prefer 2 know emily, from Australia ~ 9th Nov 2009
