5 Spectacular
The staff are awesome. The people coming in are great. The view and atmosphere are great. It is in a good location right behind the Haga Sophia as well.

5 Great!
We stayed there for three nights this july and we were more than satisfied. The location is great, only steps away from the major sights, rooms are clean, and staff are friendly and very helpful. Definitely to recommend!

4 Not everything is perfect
Staff are great, place is the best cause you are just two streets away from the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia. Rooms are not cleaned (I was there two weeks and they did not even once clean the floor, which was dirty). Bathrooms are a mess -- just once a day cleaning, hair and dirt on the floor. No phone or BBQ.

4 Nice, modern hostel close to the Blue Mosque
Was quite a nice modern hostel. Just stayed there one night, they had scaffolding up on the outside of the building so assume maybe painting it? Bathroom and Room facilities were nice, modern, and clean. They have a rooftop bar but it was all closed up when I was there. The hostel directly opposite did have a really nice rooftop bar though. Only a short walk to the Blue Mosque and around the corner from a number of bars and restaurants. Good location. I'd stay there again.

4 I enjoyed it a lot -- so friendly
This is absolutely one of the best hostels in Turkey.Their nightly restaurant entertainment held from time to time is really inspiring. Seeing is believing, so don't miss the opportunity when you are there in Istanbul.
