It is the best place to stay if you're looking for the greatest staff, atmosphere and to feel secure. We were two girls travelling abroad alone and we felt so very well treated and adviced by our hosts!!Definitely our balance about the 4 nites we spent in there overpasses positively our inital expectations. Not to talk about the originality and comfortability of the bedroom and the rest of the hostel which is perfectly decorated in arabic-turkish style where you can have delicious dinners at the best prize or simply have a tea and enjoy its good vibrations.If we were to come back to Istanbul, no doubt we'd go there again!

I had a very nice stay. Although the room had a view on the wall and was rather small I enjoyed it very much because of very nice staff and location and great atmosphere

The staff here were very friendly and the location is great. We had all the facilities of a hotel at a hostel price and there was still a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, we couldnt recommend this place higher. If you go dont leave without trying the cocktails!

Price is really more expensive than others hostels in same street for less advantage (breakfast not included / no day clean room) and when we arrived room didn't ready (no soap / no toilet paper / no sheet but just coverbed).

Not friendly owners, not polite. We stayed for a fews days more than we've booked and they charged those days at higher rate without telling us...

I booked the hostel online, and when I came to check in, the hostel manager said that there was a mixup with the room. Apparently hostelworld said one price, and they were saying another. I didn`t have my confirmation number on me to check, but the manager said that I could pay 50 Euro (16 more than I was supposed to) or I could go find another place after I had already paid my deposit online. This was at 10pm, so we didn`t exactly have many options! Also, I booked a double bed room, and what we got were 3 single beds. We had to push a couple together, which didn`t make for a very comfortable sleep. The staff was quite rude and not very helpful. I would not stay there again.
