Only think I liked is the central heating system. Rest there is nothing to like about the property. There is no kitchen facility, when I asked why do you list kitchen in the amenities on the booking page. The staff said to me that food is cheap outside, why don't you buy breakfast rather than cooking in the kitchen. There is no hostel rule managed by staff or they don't care, young Turkish boys would come at 3 am in the morning and and turn on the lights, talk loud and play mobile music.
Staffs were awesome!! They can speak English no problem and very warm hospitality! Location is very central on Old Istanbul and good to have look around. For the person who seeks warm hospitality with budget, I can recommend here.
The staff are really helpful .
The mixed dorm of 10 is in the 4th level, so you can’t take your heavy luggage there, no lift.
They provide towels.
Bathrooms are not always clean, shower handles need to be changed.
Location great near taksim however in a quiet street
