We were a group of 8 ladies and booked the whole hostel for four nights. It ended up being an excellent choice for us. Cheaper than having 4 normal hotel rooms but still much nicer since we were able to have breakfast together and enjoy aperitives together on the roof top terrace. It would be suitable for a private rent... More

Was recommended this hidden gem by a friend, and am eternally grateful! Great location, right near istiklal and taksim square. Beyoglu is a great area to base your holiday out of, as it's away from the hoardes of tourists staying in Sultanahmet, but still in a very lively area. Staff are brilliant and really friendly. Free wifi and computers in... More

We booked a double room here after visiting hostels.com. The pictures made it look really nice. But when we were shown to our room (up 6 flights of narrow stairs) we discovered it was an attic!!! The ceiling was so low that we couldn't even stand up and that's saying something as we are both very short people! (165-170cm) It... More

We booked the double room for 6 nights at the end of May. It was no more than 1.5 metres high at the entrance, tapering down to 0.5 metres at the head of the bed. It's also on the top floor, which means that even when we were there (temp low 20s) it was hot. We changed to spend two... More
