It is not a good hostel! Do not accept room # 14, unless you want to sleep in a room full of cigarette smoke that comes out of the garden below and the street. The room has no blinds, only a thin white curtain, therefore, the street lights shine all night. The toilet is dirty and the glass shower door is held only on one side, it is even dangerous. We talked to the manager about the ciggarret smoke in the room, which for us was the main issue, unfortunatelly, his attitude was totally disrespectful. In a nutshell, it was our worst experience we had in Istanbul.

Unreasonable bunkmate (ripped a socket from the wall, "forbade" me from using the ladder to get into bed, woke me up to proudly tell me she'd washed her knickers etc) but that's just bad luck and hardly the hostels fault.
Staff all very friendly and helpful, they easily accommodated my antisocial 2am arrival with a warm welcome.

**The WIFI does not work at all. This is terrible when you are planning your travels.
**I liked that the staff was accommodating when I told him I wanted a bottom bunk. He switched my room and it was sooooo much more comfortable for me. **The shower was good with hot water and good pressure.

Wifi was so weak. I couldn’t connect wifi almost all time. There was no common space for us(we could stay cafe space,but most of time there were full of cafe’s guests) Most of toilets and shower rooms door was difficult to close.( I think the doors was getting old) Sometimes the water had been cut off,so I couldn’t take shower that time.
