I recently stayed at a hotel that left much to be desired. The overall cleanliness was appalling, with grimy surfaces and questionable stains. To add to the discomfort, the absence of a bathroom inside the room was inconvenient and disappointing. The shared facilities were no better, showcasing a lack of maintenance. Definitely not a place I'd recommend for a comfortable stay.

You need to know that the shower and the toilets are NOT private as it may understood from the pics and the concise text, they are public, and in each floor. That is my only problem with this hostel. And it was a surprise, because i didn't get it when i booked a double bed room. Besides that, the stuff was SO nice and welcoming, they clean all the time so even if the toilet and the public area become unpleasant, it is very quickly being fixed, and they make sure that people will be quiet and consider others in the evenings. The location is superb. The guy that work their most of the day's hours is Shadmal, a beautiful soul, very kind and friendly. He made the entire experience into a pure pleasure.

I had booked the property via different website but the review would be same. To start with I had booked a single room. Instead when I arrived they gave me an entire dorm room for myself. So I had to share bathroom and toilet with others. The building is old, which is okay but not enough is made to keep it clean. Bed sheets were dirty. The toilet was dirty. Shower had water clogging. Not enough pressure on taps etc. And just one bathroom and toilet for 3 or 4 dorm rooms. Which is 12 or 16 people. I would recommend this place only if you have no other option.

Nice Place to Stay

Its an excellent place is the heart of Taksim and budget friendly. Staff was nice and welcoming. The only thing I would expect them to improve is in terms of service, there was no towel & AC remote in my room so I had to went all the way down from 3rd floor and 3 times to follow up for a towel, whle I was already late for my event. It took more than an hour to get the towel as there was only 1 person in reception and he was busy in checkin guests. Normally to arrange it better it should be kept in room in advance. The WiFi didnt work at a times at night, but otherwise it was fine. The place is small and not as shown in the pictures. I booked a single room but the bathroom was not attached. This information was not clear in the description while booking. The place was very clean

Great staff and good location

The property needs a little more love, but this is compensated by the friendliness of the staff. Always there to help! The common spaces are also clean. We overall had a great stay there and the location is perfect near Taksim Square and not too far from Kabatas.
