This is a good short stay location for visitors wanting to see the sights, can easily walk to them. Staff were amazing - very friendly & helpful. I checked in at 4am & they were on standby which I really appreciated. Room was a lot smaller than it looked in photos, everything very clean (& they will come & clean as much as you like), hot shower was good although bathroom was also small. Ok for one person but falling over each other if there are two. I was working full time from there, Internet was stable most of the time although power went out 3x in my 5 week stay, once for the whole day so I worked from other hotels & bars nearby. Rooftop in the hostel next door is really lovely, perfect for a drink & watching the sunset. Very touristy area so great for sightseeing, longer term visitors might want to look at less touristy areas of the city. This one is near the ferry port & tram so great for connections to the rest of the city. Breakfast is available but wasn’t great - there’s a great breakfast place (Namli Gurme over the bridge in Karakoy). My favourite nearby restaurants were 360 Mezze (recommended by hostel staff), Deraliye & Lezzet I Sark plus CoffeeTopia.
