Taksim Hotels - Real Traveler Hotel Reviews

"Very good location, staff very friendly and amenable, delicious breakfast (shame we couldn't take more than one plate to stock up for lunch), there is a safe for those in large dorms although the staircase to dorms is a throughfare for the restaurant upstairs (this said, we had no problems and the area seems calm and without issues) Very much enjoyed our stay here, and would thoroughly recommend the Istanbul Hostel." — source Hostelworld

"Moved 2 private room but they'd lost our booking (quite unorganised) so they moved us to a 'cheaper 'hostel: Yakamoz Guesthouse down the road which was 1000 times nicer (highly recommended) but we paid over 40lyra more than they quoted us." — source Hostelworld

"It isn't situated in the best area of town, but it's a really short distance from the great sights and monuments of istanbul, plus overall quality vs price rate is really great." — source Venere
