😠 It is a scam! Just stay away from here…. They promise you a place to stay, but at last minute they change the place and gave you a new place (like a stranded room…he didn’t fulfill his promise.. not even friendly… everyone experience the same thing) be careful guys People often mention room, hostel, good, stay, location, building, give, breakfast, Istanbul, night,

    It's indicated wrong on map, actually it's next to Starbucks coffee there is small entrance and you need to get 3rd floor (reception 4th floor) note that thete is no elevator. About hostel that's pretty nice to stay with adorable view to Istanbul. Staff are helpful and ready to help. Room and beds are clean. I would like to recommend you to stay here as is close to Sultan Ahmed (blue mosque) and 5 minutes walking away from Bosphorus.

    The adress given here was wrong, the actual location is left to the nearby Starbuks, it took me more than an hour to find out where exactly, because there is nothing indicating where the hostel is located. When I finally got to see what I presume to be the owner (with the help of a local who had seen this exact scenario multiple times), he was not helpful. When I pointed out that the adress is wrong, he said it was not his problem "I am not the boss of google". And when I asked why there was not even a five centimeter sticker on the window to indicate where the hostel is. The only helpful thing the man offered was to cancel my booking. Which I was happy to accept because I would rather eaten my money and sleep with the dogs than give any compensation to this most disagreable man in Turkey. So I have not seen the rooms or enough of the inside to judge those. But looking for your hostel, in the summer heat for two hour, with all your luggage on your back, all why wondering if you have been scammed. Is an experience every traveler wants to avoid.

    It’s a scam. They promised you a different room but gave you another when you came. Also, not even changing the price for us.

    Location is great but otherwise it's just a very basic reasonably cheap hostel in Istanbul. Not the cheapest but one of the cheaper hostels. Booking dot com seems to be under the mistaken impression that they accept cards for payment. This is not exactly the case. Apparently if you pay in advance via booking dot com you can use your card but at the hostel it's strictly cash. I'm unsure if there happens to be more than one establishment but the hostel building I stayed in did not have the long list of facilities mentioned on booking dot com. I had the most uncomfortable mattress I think I've ever slept on, the sir conditioning didn't operate so all we had was an open window. One client arrived having booked and paid using booking dot com but was told to try again tomorrow because there were no beds. Is there an excuse for overbooking hostel beds?

    When we arrived at the location there was no hostel nor anybody to pick us up. After several calls we were told that our room was in a different location about 10 minutes walk. there was just a hall way, no recepcion, no common spaces, not at all like the pictures from the web page. Our room was dark, broken, no natural light at all, walls full of humidities, no freezer… really discomforting and dissapointing. Our host did invite us to breakfast twice and let us stay more the last night.

    The staff were kind and helpful specially Leila, doghan and Jeyhoon. Breakfast good but could be better. Moderate price for those who care about budget. My room had a single bed and was not comletely clean specially under my bed that was full of hair, fuzz, and dust. The wall of the bath and the wall behind my bed was ruined. Bad smell specially in 8 beds dormitory room that I was at first and then changed my room. Anyway it is near Sultan Ahmet metro station by which you can go to Eminunu Pier or Ataturk Airport. It is also near yousefpasha bazar. Many restaurants and candy shops nearby. Sultan Ahmet mosque&park and Ayasofya Mosque are in a few steps from the hostel.

    (Translated by Google) The location is very good. How I would like to recommend to everyone + - excellent location, with a beautiful view from the highway (pictured below). - good breakfasts with local food and seasonal fruits and vegetables - friendly staff - room cleaning - comfortable rooms - how to get there is not entirely clear (before the strabax (on the left) you need to go through the door and go up to the very top). - one part of the hostel is located in another building 10 minutes walk at a brisk pace. Breakfasts are mostly. - thin walls, you can hear everything; - spiral staircases are everywhere. (Original) Место очень хорошее. Как хотел я бы рекомендовала каждому + - прекрасное местоположение, с прекрасным видом с трассы(на фото ниже). - хорошие завтраки с местной едой и сезонными фруктами и овощами - приветливый персонал - уборка комнат - удобные комнаты - как добраться не совсем понятно (перед страбаксом (слева) необходимо пройти в дверь и подняться на самый верх). - одна часть хостела находится в другом здании в 10 минутах ходьбы быстрым шагом. Завтраки в основном. - тонкие стены, слышно всё; - винтовые лестницы везде.

    (Translated by Google) 1) We arrive at night and you have to go up with suitcases 4 floors up the stairs to the hall. 2) They only accept payment in cash and do not give proof of payment. 3) We are referred to another building, so the beautiful photos that you see do not resemble anything to reality. 4) They put us in a room without a lock. 5) We arrived at night and found the room empty, all our suitcases had disappeared. 6) We talk to the owner and he tells us that he has changed our room, and that the cleaner has moved our suitcases to the new one. The change is fine, but warn us and save us the scare would have been a detail ... 7) There is no hot water in the morning and there is not even water during a morning. 8) There is no heating in the room and the air conditioning does not work. CONCLUSION: it is worth paying a little more and having a good stay. The location is perfect, but it does not make up for all the problems we had. (Original) 1) Llegamos por la noche y hay que subir con maletas 4 pisos por escaleras hasta el hall. 2) Solo aceptan pago en metálico y no dan comprobante de pago. 3) Nos derivan a otro edificio, por lo que las bonitas fotos que veis no se asemejan nada a la realidad. 4) Nos meten en una habitación sin cerradura. 5) Llegamos por la noche y nos encontramos la habitación vacía, habían desaparecido todas nuestras maletas. 6) Hablamos con el propietario y nos dice que nos ha cambiado de habitación, y que la limpiadora nos ha movido nuestras maletas a la nueva. El cambio está bien, pero avisarnos y ahorrarnos el susto habría sido un detalle... 7) No hay agua caliente por la mañana y ni siquiera hay agua durante una mañana. 8) No hay calefacción en la habitación y el aire acondicionado no funciona. CONCLUSIÓN: merece más la pena pagar un poco más y tener una buena estancia. La ubicación es perfecta, pero no compensa todos los problemas que tuvimos.

    (Translated by Google) hostel very miserable! Finding the hostel alone was a problem ... the smallest as it turned out. There was just a small "tune" hanging over the door. Not clear enough and very easy to miss. On arrival you couldn't find anyone and had to watch how you even get into the building because you needed a code. In addition, no one could be reached at the specified number because the number did not exist! luckily the neighbor was there, luckily he could let us in. Both in the building and in our apartment. Once in there we saw the number hanging on the wall. Called directly. About 20 minutes later a boy (at most 12) came and opened our room for us. We had a room for 5. Beds were only designed for 4 people ... that is, one had to sleep on the couch. At least the couch was covered with a duvet cover, which was urgently needed! After this difficult arrival we all needed a break and of course we switched on the air conditioning immediately due to the heat. And then the next problem straight away .. Air conditioning broken. cools but after an hour half the room is under water because it drips like mad! The night-time operation of the air conditioning was of course not available. Also only one socket out of 3 in the room worked !! the next morning we were picked up for breakfast .. 15 minutes walk for breakfast .. but everything was fresh at breakfast. We have earned the only star here, although I would only like to give half for the early morning walk. On the day of departure, a lady came into the room at half past ten and said "finish, finish". She wanted us to leave the room. Anyway, I was annoyed by the stay in the shed only pointed to the reservation where it said 1pm and said "no finish", although I speak Turkish :) once and never again... I ADVISE EVERYONE FROM THIS HOSTEL! (Original) hostel sehr miserabel! alleine das hostel zu finden war ein Problem... das kleinste wie sich noch herausstellte. Es hing lediglich ein kleines "tune" über Tür. Nicht eindeutig genug und sehr leicht zu übersehen. Bei der Ankunft konnte man niemanden antreffen und musste zusehen wie man überhaupt in das Gebäude rein kommt da man einen Code benötigte. Außerdem war unter der angegebenen Nummer keiner zu erreichen da es die Nummer garnicht gab! zum glück war der Nachbar da, dieser konnte uns zum glück reinlassen. Sowohl in das Gebäude als auch in unser Apartment. Dort drin angekommen haben wir an der Wand die Nummer hängen sehen. Direkt angerufen. ca. 20 Minuten später kam ein Junge (höchstens 12) der uns unser Zimmer öffnete. Wir hatten ein Zimmer für 5. Betten waren allerdings nur für 4 leute ausgelegt... sprich einer musste auf Couch schlafen. Wenigstens wurde die Couch mit Bettbezug bezogen, was auch dringend nötig war!! nach dieser schweren Ankunft bräuchten wir alle eine Verschnaufpause und haben aufgrund der Hitze natürlich direkt die Klimaanlage angemacht. Und dann direkt das nächste Problem.. Klimaanlage kaputt. kühlt zwar aber nach ner Stunde steht das halbe Zimmer unter Wasser weil es tropft wie wild! Der nächtliche Betrieb der Klimaanlage blieb natürlich deshalb aus. Außerdem hat nur eine Steckdose von 3 im Zimmer funktioniert!! am nächsten Morgen wurden wir fürs Frühstück abgeholt.. 15 Minuten Fußweg für Frühstück.. allerdings war beim Frühstück alles frisch. Hier haben sich auch den einzigen Stern verdient, wobei ich gerne nur ein halben geben würde für den fusmarsch am frühen Morgen. am Abreisetag kam eine Dame um halb 12 ins Zimmer und sagte uns "finish, finish". Sie wollte das wir das Zimmer verlassen. Ich sowieso genervt von dem Aufenthalt in dem schuppen nur auf die Reservation gezeigt wo 13 Uhr drauf steht und gesagt "no finish", obwohl ich der türkischen Sprache mächtig bin :) einmal und nie wieder... ICH RATE JEDEM VON DIESEM HOSTEL AB!

    (Translated by Google) When I arrived in Istanbul, Turkey and left for 3 nights, I stayed 1 night. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are right in front of you and are in a great location for traveling. First, the location is on the top floor of Starbucks, not the location on Google Maps, so go there. It consists of the main building and the annex, but the main building was uncomfortable because it had only one toilet, and the sound of the tram was heard. However, these were good for the price and the location was so good that I thought it didn't matter. But.... On the day I left, I stayed overnight and work broke out. The annex is quite far from the main building and communication is difficult except for the receptionist. It's kind, but... I couldn't take out my luggage because I didn't tell you how to use the key... Even though I reserved a single bed, I gave a sofa bed?.... Originally, growing up with two people by unfolding the sofa... I changed it to one bed after protesting. No matter how cheap it was, I didn't even dream of sleeping on the sofa. I don't have any good memories anymore, and only uncomfortable memories remain... (Original) 터키 이스탄불에 도착해서 3박 떠날때는 1박 했습니다. 아야 소피아와 블루모스크가 바로 앞에 있고 여행하기에 아주 좋은 위치에 있습니다. 일단 위치가 구글맵에 찍히는 장소가 이닌 스타벅스 맨 꼭대기 층이니 거기로 가시구요. 본건물과 별관으로 구성되어 있는데 본관은 화장실이 하나여서 불편했고 트램소리가 들리기도 합니다. 그러나 이것들은 가격대비 괜찮고 위치도 너무 좋아서 상관없다고 생각했습니다. 그러나.... 떠나는날 1박을 하는데 일이 터졌습니다. 별관은 본관과 꽤 멀리 떨어져있고 리셉션 사장님말고는 의사소통이 잘 되지 않습니다. 다만 친절한 편이긴 합니다만... 열쇠사용방법를 알려주지 않아서 짐을 꺼내지 못한다거나... 분명 싱글베드를 예약했음에도 소파베드?.... 를 주었습니다. 원래는 소파를 펼쳐서 2명이서 자라는거... 항의해서 1베드로 바꾸었습니다. 아무리 싸도 제가 소파에서 잘줄은 꿈에도 몰랐습니다. 좋았던 기억은 이제 없고 불편했던 기억 밖에는 안 남았네요...........

    (Translated by Google) The truth that the treatment towards me was very good, yes, very uncontrolled the subject of reservations, they gave me another address and they went to look for me, it is seen that they see several hostels, on the fourth day my bed occupied by another boy, I get angry because I came tired of a tour and they gave me a room for me only because I set up a chicken, but they were always kind to me, and the boy who did not speak English and did very kind shopping, despite all this would return to the place, is centrally located and at the hands of everything. (Original) La verdad que el trato hacia mi fue muy bueno,eso sí,muy descontrolado el tema de reservas,me dieron otra dirección y fueron a buscarme,se ve que ven varios hostales,, al cuarto dia mi cama ocupada por otro chico,me enfade porque venía cansado de un tour y me dieron una habitacion para mi sólo porque monté un pollo,pero siempre fueron gentiles conmigo,y el chico que no hablaba inglés y hacía las compras muy bondadoso,a pesar de todo esto volvería al lugar,está céntrico y a manos de todo.

    The location was good. That's the only positive thing I can say. Otherwise it was not as advertised. The owner is a middle aged creep. We were three young women. He walked into our room without knocking at midnight and was so surprised that we declined his offer to go out to dinner with him.
