I'm a solo lady traveller, that travelled around Turkey for a month. I stayed here for 5 nights because of the Hostel location only. It needs renovation, few things are broken and never got fixed. A dorm of 6 females & 2 bathrooms was good, but 1 bathroom was smelling & molding so bad, we didn't use it. Then, another female dorm shower broke down & flooded so the owner told the girls to use the shower in our room without warning us. The girls would come in the middle of the night even. It stopped after I went downstairs to complain. I was very annoyed when I asked the "owner" couple questions about Istanbul and all he wanted to do is sell me organized tours to make money. Us, backpackers, are staying away from that. He never answered my questions and another fellow traveller was standing beside me and told me about couple places that I shouldn't miss.... The other staff heard us chatting and very loud said:" Just shut up and let him sale his tour". Both shocked, we spoke another language and both left. How could u talked to your customers like this.... They were both trying to be very flattering with us girls. When they realized it didn't work, they weren't talking to us anymore !

It’s good if you stay for couple of nights. Keep in mind that you are paying for the convenience of the location, the place is not fancy. The property pictures should be updated. However, their staff is friendly and I personally had good chats with Jimmy.

reasonably nice and very clean room and bathroom. very good location - most attractions and a tram stop are around. in addition, very nice and helpful staff - they took me to the tram stop and helped me with the ticket machine. They also arranged for me transport to the airport at a price like UBER. I highly recommend and greet (guest from room 202)
