Location

Being close to the city center and Taksim Square was very important to me, and Nostalgia Hostel solved this issue. In addition, the staff is nice and the terrace view is very beautiful. I recommend it for those looking for a short or long-term stay at an economical cost.

The worst!!!!

The worst place I have ever visited! It was like a refugee place! The beds so uncomfortable, noisy people with no respect at 2 am every day, smocking in the room (people paid a moth because they are refugees or something like that) the bathrooms were a nasty place, 1 toilette for 18 people!! . Please pay $2 dlls more and get a better and safety place. Don’t go there!! The pics are not real!
