Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very friendly, the hostel itself is centrally located to a lot of nice places in Taksim, and the room was quiet and private. The lack of air conditioning was somewhat problematic, and I had a hard time sleeping at night because of it.
