Pros: -Great location, close to metro and Istikal street -Friendly and helpful staff -Good restaurants and cafes in close proximity -Modern, recently renovated Cons: -Bathrooms, there's not enough and ventilation is bad so they are often stinky -AC is advertised but the unit in the room was tiny and barely did anything. Often at night I would wake up sweaty, and this was in September. I think staying in the bunkhouse during summer months would be unbearable. -Have to pay for a towel. I will never not complain when hostels do this. -The rooftop bar is really the only commonspace and constantly they are blasting bad music, so it is a very hard hostel to be social in.

This is a party hostel, so be prepared for that. The rooftop bar plays music until ~midnight, which didn’t bother me but may bother others. What bothered me was that of the three nights I stayed here the bathroom on my floor ran out of toilet paper on two of the nights. Additionally, when I arrived and checked in they assigned me a bunk which had not yet been cleaned and remade after the last person had used it. Check out is 11am and check in is 3pm, which means they had four hours to clean and still didn’t manage to finish on time. They only managed to clean my bunk after 4pm. I was not impressed. Breakfast was ok, but not really worth the money they asked in my opinion. Eggs were available only on request and there was no signage explaining that so I only figured it out by watching other guests. Overall, I would not choose to stay here again.

Clean property. Good location as it's close to Taksim as well as Nisantasi. Room is small and has a strange lay-out like the shower cabin is next to the bed so when you shower the room floor gets wet. My room had a balcony but there're no chairs to sit on. Breakfast is good but all the time empty plates. So some people are able to eat an egg while most others face an empty bowl. Reception isn't really efficient. During my stay I saw all the times people had issues like room changes or double bookings. For example my key-card was only set for one night instead of 4 and I had to wait quite a while before someone was able to reset it. Reception service should be improved!

More modern hotel than hostel quality and vibe. Dorm beds are comfortable, yet some rooms are very small which is an issue if full. Staff are amazingly helpful, especially the manager, Cagatay who went way out of his way to help me out of a bind.
