The staff put us up in an "updated" room and it ended up being a whole different hotel that was about 8 minutes from the hostel itself; isolating us from any of the social events and overall location. The room we were in was not at all what we booked and no staff was at the location in the event of getting locked out or, for example, needing assistance and them taking an hour to get someone out there. While I'm sure the actual location was good, we will never know.

You get what you pay for here.The hotel was not perfect, but it served its purpose if you want to be close to everything. Parking is limited and first come, first serve. Our room had a noticeable smell, the A/C didn’t work, and we had to ask for basic things like towels. There was no soap provided for washing hands, and the neighborhood itself was not very quiet. The pictures online made the property look a lot different than it does in person. That being said, the staff was extremely nice and welcoming, and the general/common areas were actually quite nice. Despite the issues, the location and friendliness of the staff made it convenient enough that we would consider staying here again.

We stayed on the 3/F of the building without an elevator. The fortune part was that the staff helped us to take most of the luggages into our room. The worst part was that we had to walk 3 floors every day at least 2 times. Our room was dirty and toilet was not cleaned at all, we found a slipper under our bed. The lighting was dark. The photos shown on the website aren’t exactly what we see. Would recommend this hotel to do some renovation works sooner or later. The staff are quite helpful but the breakfast wasn’t suitable for our taste, cold dishes with breads and coffee! The location is okay, easy to access to most of the tourist points.

Berbat bir konaklama

Check in saatinin 13:00 olarak ifade edildiği rezervasyonda resepsiyonist 15.00 olarak bize aktardı ve bizi 15:00’da odaya aldı. Daha önce saat 11 gibi erken giriş talebimiz bulunmasına rağmen... Check out saati de 12:00 olarak yazılıyken kendileri 11:00 olduğunu söylediler. Tuttuğumuz oda fotoğraftakilerden çok daha farklıydı. Tamamiyle fotoğrafları fake yani gerçek değil. Oda ise inanılmaz kötüydü. Klozetin olduğu noktaya yukarıdan su damlıyordu. Kapının açılıp kapanması zor bir şeydi. Odanın konumu bahçe katı ama kapalı bir alan be rutubetli bir yerdeydi. Kısacası otel tamamiyle aldatmacaya yönelik bir yol izliyor.

Tarihi İstanbulun İçinde Olmak...

Hotelin temizliği daha iyi olabilir.Yardımcı olmaya çalışırlar. Konakladığınız odadan odaya otelin özelikleri değişiyor. Deniz manzaralı odalarda konaklama şansını bir kez yakalayabildim;ondan sonra sokağa bakan odalardan birinde kalırsanız hayal kırıklığı oluyor. Sultanahmet meydanına yakınlığı fena sayılmaz.

The staff had been amazing. The best thing of the hostel.Would really recommend the place to anyone visiting the city. I’ve been lucky to stay here as aparently it’s the hostel with the best vibe in whole Istanbul. If you want to discover Istanbul night scene don’t miss the pub crawls on Wednesday. Great party and organisation. Breakfast included is very decent and views to the sea is a nice plus. The room was very clean and replacement of towels and soap every day. Few small cons; the lighting in the room was’nt great; felt really dark. Some common areas like the stairs are in poor condition. The hostel is facing a highway and the windows don’t insulate enough the noise and can be a little annoying.

Fraud

Don’t believe the pictures. The rooms costed more than agreed upon and turned out to not even be fully furnished. There were no closet or hangers. No trash bin. The hot water didn’t work properly and the water from the shower came out and flooded the toilet after every shower. The building didn’t have WiFi and we were told “tomorrow” for more than half of our weeks stay. A very big disappointment.
