Star Hostel in Istanbul, Italien

the staff were very helpful and nice. but the place smelled like cigarettes most of the time. we also felt like the place was constantly occupied by a bit dodgy characters... you get what you pay for! dror, from Israel ~ 21st Jan 2012

Too far from center.Hotels SE of train station are better value.It's 45 minutes to an hour walk to this location, or the constant expense of bus and metro.Hostel is shabby, no heat, dingy baths, and dirty kitchen.BUT, the night and weekend reception staff person is great!Viktor, you rock!But I'd stay somewhere else next time.
