The room is clean, well maintained, looks clean, fresh and newly built. I had a good night sleep. Stairs are quite small, so not so luggage-friendly. They will hand you the city map upon check-in, and you will need to pay 30TL for card deposit. Location wise is near Istiklal street. If you're walking from Taksim square, walk along the Istiklal Street, after LC WAIKIKI, turn right to the alley.Hostel is on your left, positioned right in front of a salon. I would love to stay in this hostel again.
