The staff was very friendly, the hostel itself is centrally located to a lot of nice places in Taksim, and the room was quiet and private. The lack of air conditioning was somewhat problematic, and I had a hard time sleeping at night because of it.

The owners of this Hostel are fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. Even came to find me when I couldn't find the hostel (I was very tired after an overnight flight). It's basic, but perfectly adequate for my needs. I was in two different rooms and the beds in both were very comfortable. It was very clean and tidy. I'd definitely stay there again. Terrific location.
