Location is good, but everything else is beyond "HORRIBLE". The three girls working there are polite, but this cannot be classified as a habitable building. It needs to be demolished and redone.

Not recommended
rooms are so dirty not maintained well ,need a lot of renovation, too many dust underneath the bed.
No elevator , the hotel is open anyone can go upstairs and be on your door
Food is horrible and way too expensive, they would rip you off
Not safe if you're a female traveler on your own

disappointment
photos on line looked nothing like actual room. it was filthy, tiny, shower trickled water, dead bugs in sheets. however, most of the staff was quite friendly. sadly, it is not staff i will remember most. and i am not normally one to post negative comments, but this one...well, i feel i needed to speak up.

the hotel no good
There was no television, they hadn't changed or made sheets, the curtains were ripped. The room wasn't ready or cleaned for our stay which was very disappointing. The only redeeming qualities were the location and the kind people.

Tarihi İstanbulun İçinde Olmak...
Hotelin temizliği daha iyi olabilir.Yardımcı olmaya çalışırlar. Konakladığınız odadan odaya otelin özelikleri değişiyor. Deniz manzaralı odalarda konaklama şansını bir kez yakalayabildim;ondan sonra sokağa bakan odalardan birinde kalırsanız hayal kırıklığı oluyor. Sultanahmet meydanına yakınlığı fena sayılmaz.

The staff had been amazing. The best thing of the hostel.Would really recommend the place to anyone visiting the city. I’ve been lucky to stay here as aparently it’s the hostel with the best vibe in whole Istanbul.
If you want to discover Istanbul night scene don’t miss the pub crawls on Wednesday. Great party and organisation.
Breakfast included is very decent and views to the sea is a nice plus. The room was very clean and replacement of towels and soap every day.
Few small cons; the lighting in the room was’nt great; felt really dark. Some common areas like the stairs are in poor condition. The hostel is facing a highway and the windows don’t insulate enough the noise and can be a little annoying.

Anbefales ikke
vannlekasje fra klima anlegg på gulvet under hele oppholdet mitt dvs 2uker , ikke fungerte klima anlegg og tv, ikke varmt vann i 2dager og måtte dusje med kaldtvann , hotelmanager brydde seg ikke om klagene , vi brukte søppel kassen for å hindre at vannet fra taket ikke skade Kofferten og personlige eiendelene våre.

Wir haben das Zimmer Deluxe gebucht. Vor Ort haben wir ein Economy Doppelzimmer bekommen. Es hieß dann, dass die kein anderes Zimmer mehr zur Verfugung haben. Das Hotel stimmt mit den Fotos null überein.
