    Cheap, but very untidy, no security, not a good service

    The place was very untidy, the room was so small, hard to find a charger point. It was almost impossible to have a shower there. Doors were open 24 hours without a lock and any staff member. Our check-in was at 3 pm, we got to the hostel at 10-11 pm as we informed before. Firstly, we did not find any front desk staff, and fortunately, after 10 minutes one adult man came. What is interesting is that beds were not ready, and actually staff kicked one person out with a struggle, then I got my bed. It is not very nice to mention this last remark, yet it seemed that the employee has not taken shower for days which is terrible on such a summer day. We almost had no choice but to wear our FFP2 masks.

    The only satisfactory thing was the price.

    Proper prize/quality ratio, good option for adventurous people who are on an absolute low budget.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I am reading all these negative reviews but I feel that most of those people overlook something very basic: if a service/product is cheaper the quality is also lesser...so don't expect high quality if you paid almost nothing. Or to quote a phrase: 'don't expect a good seat if you pay a quarter' So I will not complain about things that would (If I paid more) be unacceptable. I had a roof over my head during the rain, a toilet to use, a shower, the opportunity to charge my phone and to sleep and an adventurous start for the prize of 3 beers, and all of that in a prime location in Istanbul. What I did mind a bit is that the personnel was a bit grumpy (though I have not met all of them or who knows I came in at a bad time). From the moment I arrived it made me feel like I did something wrong and that I was not checking into a hostel but that I was arrested for committing a moderately severe crime. Lastly, if I were a guest there for more than a few nights (I just stayed there for one night and arrived in the evening), I would just buy some trashbags, sponges and cleaner and I would scrub the place myself. I bet 50 minutes in there would do miracles. good parts: -the wifi seemed to work -the roommates were nice, male comradery -location/street is awesome

    A Moroccan guy named Ibrahim gathering his friends to drink everyday. Blind in one eye. I read a guy lost his wallet when Ibrahim was there. He has been there for two months. Always keeping eyes on my stuff, did not feel safe. Then the Chinese people create problems with their bad hygiene and extremely rude and aggressive. They do not like Muslims. Why visit Turkey? Because West does not like them.

    Nothing.

    There was not any breakfast included, even if it was mentioned in the reservation, the receptionist didn't give me the key of the locker, so I went to visit Istanbul bringing with me all of my stuff. I'm not satisfied of this experience.

    The price was the only thing that I appreciated of this experience.
