Taxim Hostel - Adults Only

Location: Highly praised for being in the strict city center of Istanbul, close to Taksim, Istiklal Street, bars, and affordable restaurants like "Damak Tadı."(based on 2 reviews)

Cleanliness: the corridors smelled of cigarettes, the room smelled of pee. There was a lot of dampness in the walls, and the bathroom had moulds on it. But other than they did try and keep the room as clean as possible even with the dampness and mould Location: right in the city centre, close to most places. Service: probably not the best. We rang the door bell for 15 mins before someone let us into the hostel. We sat inside the waiting room for 45 mins without any one telling us where to go and no one was around. Then the receptionist came downstair and said no early check in, so we left and came back on time and again the room wasn’t ready on time so we waited again. But once we got the room, we avoided asking them any question as we just wanted a night to stay and leave as soon as possible Amenities: the wifi was really poor. There was hardly any signal in the room. It was pretty much having no wifi. Also there was one plug socket in the room, which didn’t help as there was two of us. Also the room wasn’t straight, everything in the room was tiled, including walls, wardrobes, tables etc Would we come here again, the answer is no. We paid the same amount for another hotel after this and got the best room and service. It was located near the galata towers
