Ehh - cheap hostel and low quality
It was not a comfortable stay. The toilet was broken and the toilet paper ran out. We have asked the house keeper to get more but no one did anything.

I would come again next time
Great location. Super friendly staff, they aren’t at the reception 24/7 but you just text then on WhatsApp and they Are there for you in 5-10min. Clean but not exceptionally clean. But the location and Price Are unbeatable !! I would recommend anyone who doesn’t mind the hostel feel and care first and foremost about location to stay here

Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Was auch in Istanbul wichtig ist.Da die Taxis unverschämte Wucher Preise haben . Das schöne ist mit vielen Menschen aus aller Welt zusammen zu sein und zu Diskutieren und von deren Lânder was zu erfahren.
