- “ The hostel was very good. Room in front is noisy from street music, but its tolerable if you close the window and blast the fan. Breakfast is also good. The location is fantastic - touristy, but a short walk from the great historic sites (Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cistern, Topkapi). Additionally, they refunded our group of three for our last night when our plans changed. This was highly appreciated. ”

- “ I arrived early in the morning at the Hostel, though the check in was 11:45 am. The staff member was excellent. He was kind enough to allow me to chek in early without extra payment. Though I booked a 6 bed dorm, I was allotted a bed in 4 bed dorm due to my early arrival. Wow, the staff member was so considerate for the guest!!!! Bathrooms are cleaned frequently and maintained well. Hostel should revise check in times. Overall, a great place to stay and value for money. ”

- “ I stayed in the 30 person room, which was a little smelly. But I also paid very little for it, and my two (female) friends got upgraded to a nicer, smaller room for no charge. I thought it was in a fantastic location, right in between the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. It was definitely cheaper than surrounding hostels, and had an awesome atmosphere with a really nice rooftop terrace with amazing views. Also came with a buffet-style, free, breakfast! ”

- “ Only one key for the whole room, but I think that's common. Location is EXTREMELY touristy and overpriced but really close to the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and metro. Rooftop has a great view. On top of a bar/restaurant so can be loud. Staff is very friendly, very helpful, very good at English. Got a free upgrade from 30 bed room to 8 bed, and he even made me coffee before my 6am shuttle. Good atmosphere w/ friendly travelers. Bathrooms are not new, but decently clean. Fantastic value for price ”

- “ Nothing much bad to say about the place. I kept changing my schedule on them and they were very patient with me. There is a travel agency right in there which sped things up. I would recommened it to anyone. ”
