The staff are very welcoming and friendly, the room was luxurious and the shower divine! The room (and hotel in general) was very warm and quite clean.All meals were delicious and good value for money. The location was excellent, only 15 minutes by taxi from hotel to city centre.Even an energetic man Etibar, walked to out to get us a taxi.This man arranged everything for us on time and prompt.this kind of service level is 5 star not 4.More

I have been staying at lots of properties all around the world, but this one was the first time in Baku for 3 days with my family. Everything was excellent, especially the breakfast area where you can have tons of meal choices.
The hotel staff was very friendly and Guest Relations Department made our stay unforgettable. Special thanks to Irina who was the agent and she kindly helped us with city tour and gave us a list with all the sightseeing places. We really fell in love with this city and the places that Irina advised.
If you are planning to visit this beautiful city namely Baku you can go ahead and spend your time at this awesome Hotel!
I had such a great experience at this hotel! The location and rooms were excellent. The staff was very hospitable especially Kamran Nabiyev from guest relations. He was so kind and always smiling and was able to help me with any questions that I had. I totally recommend any guests to ask Kamran for assistance with anything. Thank you so much, Kamran! You are the best!

This hostel ticks all the right boxes. Excellent facilities including a great kitchen, common area for socializing, entertainment systems, including PS3 and fast WiFi. The rooms are comfortable, clean and sucure with lockers. Staff couldn't be more helpful and location is great and close to a tram station. Also has a decent free Turkish breakfast. Good place to meet other backpackers.
Having spent a lot of time in hostels this is by far my favourite and this is where I've stayed for the longest period of time. It's also the only place to where I've gone back more than two times.
The vibe of the hostel is normally fantastic but of course it depends of the other guests. There is more people staying here during the summer months and if you're lucky to be there anytime between may-september you have to make sure to spend at least one night on the teracce. Here people will get to know each other and share travel stories over a shisha (water pipe) and a beer. For me the teracce is the best thing with the hostel; this is where you find the free coffee/tea, the amazing view and the kitchen where you can cook and store groceries.
The rooms are of good standard (although not luxurous- this is a hostel) and the breakfast which is included tastes great (especially when combined with the earlier mentioned view of the Galata tower and the Bosphorus).
It's about 10 minutes of walk to Istiklal; the amazing shopping/bar/restaurant street which leads to Taksim Square. Galata Tower is just a few streets up and the Sultanahmet area approximately 20 minutes away by walk (you can also catch the tram if you are feeling lazy).
Most staff are very friendly and will recommend you the best places in Istanbul. If you're lucky you can join them for "Zurna"; a 70cm long kebab roll.
All in all this hostel has a great vibe, is located in a great area and you get all of it for a great price. I'll definitely return next time I go to Istanbul; my favourite metropolitan in the world!
Room Tip: Spend as much time as possible on the teracce. The newly renovated double rooms with private bathroom are of high standard.
Having visited in January, the biggest problem was the heating which was just not sufficient. Also, there was often the shortage of hot water on the upper floors. Also, the showers could use some cleaning. The breakfast was good, also the was free coffee and tea all day long. The view from the terrace was really nice. All in all, don't visit during the winter, could be ok if you are traveling on a tight budget during the summer.
As far as the staff goes, my favorite was the cleaning lady, an old turkish lady who didn't speak a word of english, but was super friendly, helpful and always smiling.
There was one tiny heater in the entire room and it was cold all the time. We even asked for extra blankets for the nights but we were told we couldn't get any even though the hostel was not nearly full.
There is one bathroom on each floor which is not enough for that many people, but more importantly it wasn't very clean and there was hot water only if you got up early enough and it wasn't all used up yet.
The spiral staircase is narrow and it isn't easy to get your luggage up and down, but you only do that twice so you manage. Ask for the lower floors, but this shouldn't be a reason not to come here, the stairs are not that bad.
We spent an hour to find it, asking people in the night for direction, and fighting on the way with each other, so but the time we reached it we were already tired and angry. Hostel is not bad, but screwlike stairs on the fifth floor killed me. Not a good place if you have heavy luggage. Bathrooms poor - with one bathroom on the floor (for 18 people I suppose). Window did not open and it for freaking hot and stuffy in the room.Breakfasts are good, with a nice rooftop view over Sultanahmet and Galata tower. Stuff is kind and helpful. Good value for its price.
Get away any time of the year to this great, quiet Mt. Snow area home. Close to Mt Snow, Downtown Wilmington, Lake Whitingham and Lake Raponda. Located within the Chimney Hill Association. You can relax, ski, snowmobile in the winter...swim, hike, bike in the summer...leaf 'peep ' in the fall...visit the many area attractions all year round. ******New for the 2014-15 season, fully renovated kitchen and family room on main floor---pictures to follow with completion************
Very nice and cozy place to stay. I went for a long weekend with extended family and we had a great time. The main floor, with its renovations, is beautiful and was a great place to gather. Everything in the kitchen worked nicely and the...More
