A 6-storey hostel 5 minutes from Taksim Square, near Istiklal Street. It is easy to get from here to all the attractions in half an hour. A bus takes 40 minutes to get from the airport to Taksim, which is very convenient.
There is a panoramic guest room on the 6th floor where you can relax and have breakfast with a great view. This was the deciding factor when choosing a hostel.
Breakfast is included, which is unusual for a hostel. But some are monotonous. Type of Turkish breakfast: bread, roll, sliced simits, sausage, cheese, cucumbers, butter, cake slices, muesli with milk, 2 types of jam, tea, coffee, water
There are different types of rooms: 2-bed, 4-bed, 6-bed.
❤Bathrooms and toilets are blocky, for 2-3 rooms, in some rooms inside
On the ground floor there is a small kitchenette, kettle, microwave, water
There are scales - which is very important, to weigh the luggage after shopping
There is Wi-Fi, but the iPhone stubbornly did not want to connect, saying that the network was insecure, so I used only android.
The air conditioner/heater upstairs was not working properly. It was very cold at night, I slept in a sweatshirt, but on the 3rd day, someone complained and a heater was brought into the room.
I think it's hot here in the summer, because I don't think the air conditioner will cool down well.
Overall, it's a good hostel, you can stay for a couple of days. I paid 11 thousand rubles for 6 nights. Booked through Tinkoff
Overall a great hotel. The food is the same every day. But I didn't get tired of it in three days. There is no lactose-free milk. Towels are provided free of charge - this is included in the price. If someone tells you that it's for rent for a certain amount, then it's not true. Ask for a towel and the rest to the administrator who registered you. As it is, I really liked it, everyone is polite, courteous, there is a private safe. Your bed is covered with a curtain. But if you are a light sleeper, then you should sleep with earplugs. On the 6th floor, where they eat, you have to go up the stairs, when I was there the elevator was not working. But I don't think it's going to work anymore. Closer to the weekend, discos and karaoke are held on the roof, where there is a buffet in the mornings, in the evenings. There are shops and cafes nearby. Everything is cool and not as bad as I wanted it to be.
I was very unlucky with my neighbors - they smoked, drank, and made noise. The administration turns a blind eye to this.
Overall, an interesting, clean, pleasant hostel.
Among the disadvantages are very poor sound insulation, small rooms (as if everything is on top of each other), a "buffet" - very conditionally, they give portions under the signature.
Among the advantages - clean, nice, very good location at Taksim.
But I'll prefer a hotel room for the future.
