Stay Inn Taksim Hostel

I extended my stay at this place due to its location, wonderful and co-operative staff, cleanliness 10/10 amenities, would definitely come back and surely for re-commendation further. Not far from the bus routes and also metro is like 10 mins walking.

This property is best value for your money..You get what you pay for and that too in a place where the prices of other properties are quite high..You are not far from the places you wish to visit in Istanbul....Few places are within your walking distances.

it was good but not so much

Great location base to reach many parts of the huge city to explore then return to chill. Staff were really friendly and helpful! They have many superb recommendations on areas to explore as I was overwhelmed on which parts to explore.

The staff was really helpful. The location is good, at walking distance from many shops and a supermarket, as well as the Galata Tower. The breakfast is included and they offer cheese, some veggies (tomatoes and cucumber), bread, cereals, coffee, tea and juice. They also include towels and give you fresh ones everyday, which is unusual for hostels. The bunks have curtains which gives a little bit of privacy and the facilities seem very new.

Good hostel, close to lots of restaurants, bars and shops. Comfortable and clean. Had a slight problem on first night where I was put in wrong room but this was rectified on the 2nd night. I missed my flight for my planned arrival meaning I had to change my private transfer from airport which came as part of my deal. Eshan at the hostel sorted all of this out for me quickly, thanks again!

One thing you have to know about this room that no one told us... We got the private room (deluxe) - the sink, shower and the toilet are all together behind a glass door. So essentially, when you take a shower, you're going to wet the entire toilet seat and floor all around it, meaning you'll have to dry the toilet seat afterwards to use the toilet and also stand in water unless it's dried already. Room was cold. Remote for heater didn't work. When finally worked, heater ran all night and the room was still freezing. Front desk didn't have simple things like a map of the area. Site said self-serve laundry, but laundry is down the street from hostel. There is not any 'hostel' vibe at all with a small, uninspiring common area. Super steep stairs as well. Wouldn't recommend this place. Pretty good location is only main benefit.
