Stever, the bartender was a dude, and a great help. The two other dudes who helped out in the bar were also funny, helpful and kind. The little dude at the front was often tearse, and not very welcoming...he needs a kick in the ass. All in all, a great hostel though.

This place was basic but ok. I was there when it was very busy and never had to wait for showers or toilets which was good. Beds ok, but nothing special.

My stay in Orient was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly. The bathrooms were all newly restored and clean. The food and the breakfast in the terrace restaurant was definitely very tasty. Hope to come back soon!

I stayed here one month and I had the best stay I've had in a hostel. I made close friends with the staff and they were extremly helpful with me in getting around the city and Turkish nights out at 4am! Hasan hooked me up with a good travel deal under the budget I was hoping for and I met future travel partners through here. Highly Recommended!

our room didnt have proper curtains, so at night we would get changed in the dark so that other guests and staff didnt get a free show. great party hostel though, very noisy!
