Wir haben 3 Stunden gewartet bis das Zimmer vorbereitet wurde. Klimaanlage war ein Alptraum. Zwei mal haben wir das Zimmer gewechselt. Die Kühlschränke haben nicht funktioniert. Zimmer und Hotel waren sauber.

I went to them . they said there is no place to accept your reservation search for another place and reservation

10/10

Awesome location in Sultanahmet. Great value for a private room. Bar crawl is good for solo travelers.

10/10

First great location. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast on a terrace,dorm small but well organized with its own private bathroom and lockers. Everything is very clean. Wi-Fi connection slow in rooms. They have a rule not mentioned on hotels.com, no over 40 in dorm! But they see very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place.

이인방이용 처음가시면 확실히 위치 확인후 갈것 첫날 골목에있어 찾기힘듬 직원 친절함 방은좀 작고 아침조식은 먹을만 뷰는 사진과 약간다름 ㅋ ㅋ 이동하긴 좋은 아야소피아 근처임

6/10

the location of hostel is nice, and the room is clean. All the staff are very nice and talkative. Only the wifi is weak in hostel.

10/10

I stayed 2 nights in the women's dorm room. The room and adjoining bathroom were neat and clean. The women's dorm room is right off of the reception area, which made me feel safe on my first nights traveling solo in a new country. However, there is no a/c or window to the outside in this room, so you might want to think twice about booking it in the summer if a warm room bothers you. The Turkish breakfast on the rooftop terrace is delicious, and the staff is beyond friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I hope to return!

도미터리 이용시 6베드룸보다 차라리 14베드룸 선택하는게 좋을듯 14베드룸은 방안에 샤워부스 포함 화장실 3개. 6베드룸은 방밖에 화장실 그것도 다른 층에. 샤워부스도 따로 있고 좁아서 사용 힘듬

24 hour reception, perfect for me as I arrived at midnight. Room was a 6 bed guy only room. Big lockers under the beds, no need for padlock, own key for the lock. Door lock was a simple push button. People felt relaxed they as I noticed a lot of valuables left in the rooms. Free wifi & free computers, which was good for me. Security lockers in the lobby for u to store & a luggage drop. One big dorm room of about 18 beds, with 2 toilets/showers. Spread over 5 floors, with ensuite dorms, private rooms too. The top floor is a terrace, where you get an awesome all-you-can-eat breakfast, good views, with a glimpse of the Blue mosque too. I only have 2 issues with the hostel. The lack of laundry facilities was disappointing, but just round the corner is a laundrette, but they weren't very good, as most of my clothes we returned 3 sizes too small! I only had to wait once for the toilet & shower, but I could see how it could be annoying for others. You want the toilet, go upstairs, you want the shower, go downstairs. Apart from that, overall I thought it was a great place & I will & already have, recommended it to people.

8/10

it is near the sultanahmet so you can go the mosce, museum and palace within 10minite. the room and bathroom are generally clean.

10/10

I would definitely stay again if i were to go alone to Istanbul again. The hosts, Enver and Medmet, never seemed to sleep. They were extremely friendly and helpful (and flirtatious ;}). The dorm rooms were very clean. The location is perfect although you can't walk to the hotel without being hassled by the street vendors since the main fare is filled with restaurants and rug stores.

8/10

걸어서 모든 걸 해결할 수 있는 위치. 1층은 조금 시끄럽지만 4인실. 조식은 괜찮은 편 ㅡ 주스 빼고. 괜찮지만 또 가고 싶을 정도는 아님. 콘센트가 한쪽 벽면에만 있는 것도 좋지 않은 점.
