A 6-storey hostel 5 minutes from Taksim Square, near Istiklal Street. It is easy to get from here to all the attractions in half an hour. A bus takes 40 minutes to get from the airport to Taksim, which is very convenient.
There is a panoramic guest room on the 6th floor where you can relax and have breakfast with a great view. This was the deciding factor when choosing a hostel.
Breakfast is included, which is unusual for a hostel. But some are monotonous. Type of Turkish breakfast: bread, roll, sliced simits, sausage, cheese, cucumbers, butter, cake slices, muesli with milk, 2 types of jam, tea, coffee, water
There are different types of rooms: 2-bed, 4-bed, 6-bed.
❤Bathrooms and toilets are blocky, for 2-3 rooms, in some rooms inside
On the ground floor there is a small kitchenette, kettle, microwave, water
There are scales - which is very important, to weigh the luggage after shopping
There is Wi-Fi, but the iPhone stubbornly did not want to connect, saying that the network was insecure, so I used only android.
The air conditioner/heater upstairs was not working properly. It was very cold at night, I slept in a sweatshirt, but on the 3rd day, someone complained and a heater was brought into the room.
I think it's hot here in the summer, because I don't think the air conditioner will cool down well.
Overall, it's a good hostel, you can stay for a couple of days. I paid 11 thousand rubles for 6 nights. Booked through Tinkoff

It's not a bad hostel by Istanbul standards, you need to ask for a towel, but I had my own, the sky bar is open until 12 at night, there aren't a lot of people there in the evening, introverts. The breakfasts are monotonous, but they are in the form of a buffet, the staff is good and responsive, the locker was buggy 2 times in 4 days, the person behind the counter helped me open it. The guests are People from all over the world, many from CIS countries. I lived here for 4 days, then moved into a room rented at airbnb, since I can't stay in such crowded places for a long time. I recommend taking earplugs and sleep masks to such places

I was very unlucky with my neighbors - they smoked, drank, and made noise. The administration turns a blind eye to this.
Overall, an interesting, clean, pleasant hostel.
Among the disadvantages are very poor sound insulation, small rooms (as if everything is on top of each other), a "buffet" - very conditionally, they give portions under the signature.
Among the advantages - clean, nice, very good location at Taksim.
But I'll prefer a hotel room for the future.
