Ok for a few nights
Positive points:
Comfy bed, hot shower, clean room, good air con, not too far from good shops and restaurants, but still quite quiet.
Negative points:
Smelly drains, bathroom could have been cleaner, had to buy our own toilet roll, area is very hilly which isn't ideal for backpackers walking to/fro the Metro
I had paid for my bunk, but reception told me that we cannot give you the bed and gave me back my money. It ruined all of my plans in the city, just terrible place.
bonjour Hello
It is a bad heberge especially if you are an Arab it puts you in a room salesa has nothing to have with the photo on the site moisture bad smell the toilet not clean and reception zero nevertheless we pay 28 lira = 7e
But not the rooms like europeen i am algerian but i live in europe
J'ai occupé, durant 3 nuits, la ch. #9 au 2ieme étage qui était très tranquille. L'endroit est ensoleillé et relaxant autour de la piscine bordée de plantes. L'hôtel est parfaitement situé à 5 min à pied du grand Baobab. Juste en face de l'hôtel, un nouveau bar à spectacle "Taxi-Be" vient d'ouvrir depuis env. 1 an. Bière pas cher et beaucoup de jolies filles... Excellent séjour à cet hôtel!!
Was wonderful. Lovely, friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. This is a short review because I don't want to spend so much time but it really was an ideal place to stay. Thank you.

posizione comoda per visitare la città
la struttura si affaccia in una via secondaria e questo è un bene se volete poter riposare un minimo tra una giornata e l'altra. La posizione è comoda per visitare la città e avere le vie più mondane a breve distanza. Struttura senza troppe pretese ma con tutto quel che serve per trascorrere una vacanza di qualche giorno senza stress. Il personale è simpatico e disponibile. Consigliato per chi non cerca un albergo di lusso.

für uns ideal
Eine Woche im August zu viert; zwei im Doppelbett (mit einer gemeinsamen Decke), zwei in Einzelbetten. Nachdem wir uns genügend Handtücher und eine Extra-Decke gekauft hatten und regelmäßig Wasser in den Ablauf im Bad füllten war es ganz komfortabel. Man muß sich über den Klimaanlageneinsatz einigen und auch sonst gut miteinander klar kommen. Außer den Betten und zwei Schränken gab es keine Möbel im Zimmer. Der Zimerservice beschränkte sich während der Woche auf eine Nachlieferung von Klopapier. Den Vorhang ließen wir auf Empfehlung des sehr freundlichen und gut englisch sprechenden Gastgebers weitgehend zu, um die Menschen gegenüber nicht aufzuregen. Das WLAN zeigte bei gleichzeiteiger Nutzung aller vier Zimmergäste keine wesentlichen Schwächen. Bäcker, Schlachter und Tante-Emma-Laden sind quasi nebenan, so dass Mangel an Trinkwasser oder Frühstück gut zu vermeiden ist.
Fazit: schon wesentlich schlechter gehaust und auf gleichem Niveau auch wesentlich teurer (in Rom), alles in allem für eine Woche absolut ok.
Arrivée avec mon amie à l'hostel, en chambre de 8, une salle odeur dans l'escalier (remontée d'égout..). pas de clef à la porte. pas de clef aux armoires (les anciens occupants étant malencontreusement partis avec). vers 3h30 du matin, 3 personnes débarquent dans la chambre avec leurs lampes torches... (un peu flippant), se couchent dans des lits "au pif", et en faisant pas mal de buit, vrmt pas cool. les 3 salles de bains (3 douches+wc seulement pour tout l'hotel, il ne vaut mieux pas être pressé le matin! sinon les jeunes femmes en bas sont sympa, mais hyper balèze... (20min avec elles pour tenter de réserver un billet de bus par internet sans succès)(alors que je suis finalement parvenu à le faire seul le lendemain sur leur site turc...) enfin bref, pas une superbe expérience! après on a peut-être juste pas eu de la chance... mais là ça faisait beaucoup!

good
the location is good i think and managers were considerate(-:
The place was quite far away from Taksim, which is where the bus dropped me off. I got hustled by the taxi drivers and then the staff did little to help me find my way around after I got there. Very disappointing.

Het is te doen.
Als je laag op budget bent, is het een prima hostel. Je zit op een centrale locatie en er zijn veel toeristen in de buurt. Personeel wist me vaak te helpen met het vinden van locatie. Kamer was voorzien van airco en wi-fi. De geur van de riolering was minder.

für das Geld - okay!
Also, wenn man einen komfortablen Hotelurlaub mit Zimmerservice und 3-Gang-Menu plant - dann ist man in diesem Hostel falsch.
Ich sag immer: man kriegt das, wofür man bezahlt. Und dieses Hostel ist für Istanbul sehr günstig, bietet aber eben auch keinen sonderlichen Komfort. Zimmer okay, aber nicht viel mehr Platz wie das darin enthaltene Doppelbett. Gemeinschaftsbad, das sauber war. Frühstücksmöglichkeiten im eigenen Café oder entlang der Straße.
Wenn man - wie wir - nur zum Schlafen ins Hostel kommt, kann ich es stattdessen nur empfehlen.
3 venner og jeg havde booket et værelse i en uge, og havde skrevet til hotellet om de havde døgnåbent i receptionen. Dette havde de, men da vi kom første aften, efter over 2 timers venten ved paskontrollen, var der ingen der åbnede. Trods talrigetryk på dørklokken, og enda telefonopkald til 2 forskellige numre på hotellet, måtte vi sande at der ikke var nogen der åbnede.
Vi fandt derfor et andet hotel og måtte betale for 2 værelser den aften. vi har ikke fået penge retur for den aften, men det er noget vi vil tage op med Expedia.
Udover denne oplevelse var hotellet ikke den helt store oplevelse. ringe stand, OK service, konstant dårlig lugt på værelset og i opgangen.(muligvis vandlås)
