I had a nice staying. The hostel is cheap, at walking distance from the Galata tower, with public transport in the nearby. Nice and clean shared rooms with air conditioning and wonderful terrace for the evening time. Breakfast is poor but there is a fridge and the kitchen and a lot of market in the nearby. They ask for cash paying.
7.8Very goodExpand details
Got a double room with almost no window, it was always very dark. Very nice terrace and friendly staff. I liked the fact that the kitchen is basically run by the hostel's guest.

Unfortunately there was a mixup with our reservation so we didn't actually stay at this hostel. However the owner was devastated and couldn't stop apologising. He found a new hostel for us and drove us there. The hostel (reception area) was spotless, the staff very friendly and helpful and it is ideally situated. I would certainly consider staying there next time I visit Istanbul.
