Hostel OK but overrated

8.0

The beds on the 4p rooms are comfortable and the showers are fine, even if very small (but I guess this is normal in a big expensive city).

− The people at front desk were very cold and unfriendly, and the living room not super cosy. Overall I felt this hostel was largely overrated, of course it is not a bad one, but not a 10/10 either. The location is close to Asia sofia and blue mosque, but it is an extremely touristic neiborhood where everything is insanely expensive. I would recommend to live rather in neiborhoods like üsküdar or kadıköy which are more genuinely lively than eminönü, and where you will find food at normal prices.

L’ambiance dans la salle du bas est très sympathique. On peut s’y reposer l’après-midi avec un café ou un thé. En soirée quelques personnes sont là pour discuter. Merci à Faruk pour les discussions!

The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the city. Location is great for main attractions and they organise social events every day, that helps to connect with other travellers. And rooms baths are always clean and tidy!
