10/10 Exceptional

Had a room with 3 beds. It was clean and comfortable and very close to takseem. Bathroom is shared with others. Not bad if you are on the budget.

Stay away from there. Its awful place. Everybody using common toilets and showers. Dirty place. Good place for sickness. No proper curtain on the window. No air conditioner. No fresh place. Waste of money...
UMUT, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Tek artısı konumu

Civar hostellere göre daha yüksek bir fiyat ödenmesine rağmen gayet eski ve bakımsız bir yer. Duş ve tuvalet bakımsız. Sıvı sabun kutusundaki ürünün ne olduğu belli değil. Tek artısı Taksim meydana yakın olması.

O gün Resepsiyonda olan personel çok ilgisiz ve kabaydı. Aralık ayıp olmasına rağmen odada ısıtıcı hiçbir cihaz çalışmıyordu ve oda buz gibiydi - sabaha kadat bu böyle devam etti.

Özel 2 kişilik oda aldım fakat özel tuvaleti yoktu. Tuvalet hosteldeki diğer odalarda ortaktı çok kötü ve eskiydi

El baño del hostel estaba sucio como si jamas hubieran limpiado y las camas eran incómodas. Lo único bueno era la localización del apartamento.

2/10 Poor

No hay cocina disponible, las fotos engañan, el baño no está en condiciones y las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear. Horrible.

4/10 Fair

Sadece konumu iyi

Paylaşımlı odada kaldık. Odalar bakımsız, odadaki koltuk muhtemelen yıllardır hiç temizlenmemiş. Ranzalar çok eski, ranzaların perdesi yok. Ortak tuvalet ve banyonun kapısını içeriden açamıyorsunuz, kapının kolu yok. O yüzden tam olarak kapatmadan kullanmanız gerekiyor. Bina çok eski ve bakımsız. Tek iyi yanı Taksim'e yakın olması ama meydana ulaşmak için çok dik yokuşlar tırmanmanız gerekiyor.

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.

4/10 Fair

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
JAYANT, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really bad shape, needs a lot of fixing.

Place is nothing like the pictures, bad shape furniture, cold rooms and bathroom. Not clean, thin stairs, not family friendly. Windows and doors are loose, broken and bad smell coming through it. Bed was literally joined with ducktape, there were ton of dust in the air and some bugs. Wall divisions are polymere so every sound is listened. There is only one bathroom, with one shower, at each twelve people per floor. Only hotwater at the shower, not at the sink. No roof at the stairs, too thin and hard to carry with luggage.

Küçük ve güvenilir bir hostel. Kattaki ortak banyo konforlu görünmüyordu ancak tuvaletler temizdi. Güler yüzlü bir işletmecisi var. Odalar temiz. Isıtıcı ile güzelce ısındı.
