Nati 10.0

my partner and I were very happy with our stay. The hostel was very clean and tidy. There was a dedicated person who kept everything tidy throughout a day. It was not crowded, every one had enough space in fridges and shelves, also enough place to sit down in the lounge. The money we pay were very modest, so the room and shower very pretty small, but again, it was clean and in a good condition for money. The only problem was the Internet - although there was a very strong signal from routers, the internet was very slow and often disappearing. This must be fixed. Again, thank you very much to the hosts - we felt so welcomed and supported throughout our stay so we didn't want to leave!

Mehdi 8.0

The staff were super friendly and helpful all the time. The 24 hour reception desk was just comforting to come and go any time of the day or night. The kitchen had all the facilities to cook. It was also safe and sound. You're only 3 minutes away from Istiklal street from the hostel.

Zafar 9.0

Room was very pleasant. I must comment on the pillows as they were the best I've had in a hotel, nice and firm giving great support to head and neck. Location close to Taksim square and Istiklal Street. Francesco on reception was a friendly and chatty guy, was a pleasure to meet him. Saal (sorry if I've spelt that wrong!), who I met briefly, was also friendly. WiFi was very fast. Free tea making facilities with a nice and basic kitchen.

All the staff is very affable, warm, helpful, completely devoted to the guests. It really was a memorable hospitality I have ever had! Location is very convinient in touch with authenticity. Relaxing and art vibes in the area all guest use for having coffee and food. Personally I did not have problems with wi-fi!
