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.

The hostel is a pleasant place to stay. I used a private room with bathroom and it was very comfortable. The location is really convenient for central Istanbul. The staff were friendly and eager to help.

The owners of this Hostel are fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. Even came to find me when I couldn't find the hostel (I was very tired after an overnight flight). It's basic, but perfectly adequate for my needs. I was in two different rooms and the beds in both were very comfortable. It was very clean and tidy. I'd definitely stay there again. Terrific location.
