Location! Very close to lots of things to do. I found myself walking around a LOT and seeing many sites in the area. Also close to the metro and lots of bus routes. Staff is very nice and helpful. I was supposed to check in at 10pm but because of flight delays I arrived at 2am and was able to check-in in the middle of the night. Lots places to buy alcohol if you were interested in that (even in the middle of the night) and close to ATMs. I booked a private room with a bathroom and patio. It got a little cold at night but was provided with extra blankets.

Not a huge deal but the toilet seat was broken, Hopefully its fixed now.

A fantastic hostel, amazing staff, incredible breakfast and would recommend it to any backpacker. Very close to Taksim square and the public transport is super close. Sapi and the team are so helpful and really good company. A real gem in Istanbul for travellers.

While location is good, it is a little noisy at night and can be a little bit sketchy. However DO NOT let this put you off. If it’s too loud for you can there is a pharmacy around the corner where you can buy ear plugs and the staff will ensure that you are safe. I stayed here for 6 nights and had no trouble whatsoever.

Really nice and friendly hosts, you feel welcome! Facilities were good: free towels, warm shower, a big kitchen to use, good balcony (on yhe fifth floor, room 13), You'll get free coffee/tea every morning, the laundry service was perfect and cheap (good dried clothing), WiFi was good.

The location was also perfect but for one thing: some streets around the hostel are some sort of a red light district. Therefore if you go to the hostel, skip those streets and walk tot the hostel by the "Tarlabaşi Blv." Street. A lady should not walk here on her own.

We had a wonderful stay at Chillout whilst we were in Istanbul. It’s in a great location, only a few minutes walk from Istiklal street. Super cheap. Friendly host, Mustafa made us coffee and omelettes every morning.

We stayed in the double room with the terrace. The terrace was great to sit out on, however, it was a bit dirty and could do with some cleaning! The bathrooms also got very hot as they had minimal ventilation. However, these definitely did not deter us whatsoever from the property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay (and recommend it to anyone).

Located in a very colourful part of the city, the hostel has a small, fenced terrace at the street entrance, through which you pass to the bar area. This is also the reception where you check in. The terrace allows you to have breakfast in the open air, or chill with a beer in the evening, while watching Istanbul life at close quarters. For me, it was easily the most attractive part, and forms a place to socialise with the other guests. The staff are friendly, cooperative and have good English. The rooms are both dormitory type and private. They are clean and well organised. Toilets are shared, but well-maintained. The dorms have a locked area to store backpacks and personal items. All rooms have air-conditioning. Living overnight anywhere in a "city that never sleeps" risks sharing a neighbourhood with noisy nightclubs nearby, but I wasn't disturbed at all by loud music late at night. For the traveller, it is an excellent choice, with a laundry next door, well-priced local "bufet" type restaurant across the road, a bank card cash outlet and a juice bar less than a minute away. Breakfasts are bufet-style, with tea and coffee. The bar is well-stocked, and optional music by request.

The hostel is located in a historic part of Istanbul, where all the properties have "traditional" dimensions, and can feel a bit cramped, compared with more modern, purpose-built hotels, but they have done a good job with what they have.

the location is just perfect, right behind the Taksim. You just need to walk 2 minutes to appear on Istiklal street (the famous one with red Tram). The price was also very good, friendly staff and also a small lounge in the reception was a great place to meet others and chill.

what I didn't like was that it had 5 floors, we had a room on the fifth and there was no elevator and the floors were extremely high. But it had a balcony and if u can live without it, u better choose the first or the second floor :D

The breakfast is fantastic and sets you up for the day! Excellent family run hostel with great community vibes. The location is absolutely amazing (right in the middle of Taksim) but of course with this comes a lot of urban noise, so be prepared for a city that really never sleeps and neither will you!

Honestly it was a great experience and when you take into account the very reasonable pricing it is difficult to write anything negative about it.

Lovely Free Breakfast every morning. Will definately stay here again, People are honest and helpful. Great cafe downstairs to work and drink tea or coffee. Real Traveller place. The owners are genuine.

The clubs next door are a little noisy on the top floor. But other than that our room was warm. And the wifi in the top floor was not great. But in the lounge you can work with plus 100mbs internet.

Excellent location, just a short walk from Taksim square. The room was spacious enough for both of us with a balcony. The owners are extremely accommodating and friendly, breakfast was fantastic! We also got some much-needed laundry done for just 50 TL for a big bag, which was returned to us clean and folded.

It was a little loud in the room, but that's because we were visiting during a Turkish holiday period and people were partying.

Location was amazing, staff was incredible, kind, lovely and ready to help you. They allowed me to do early check-in which I really appreciated. Hostel was colorful and really chill vibes

Maybe more cleaning in the room I slept (floor was kind of dirty) The windows were really bad for sound isolation, we could hear music around all night long
