“A great location with comfortable beds and a good atmosphere”
+The location of the hostel is absolutely peak and the place looks very nice, classic hostel type look that you're looking for as a traveller! There's nothing like walking for 3 minutes and seeing the Bosphorus, unforgettable stuff. Beyond that, there are many social activities arranged by the hostel and the beds are very comfortable. I'd recommend staying here if you're traveling to Istanbul.
−The hostel's organized activities felt a bit pricey, an example was €15 for a basic meal with no vegetarian or vegan options. Furthermore, the atmosphere varied during my 6-night stay; the atmosphere in the first half was not what I was looking for due to many group travelers keeping to themselves, while the latter half was much more social which was what I was looking for as a solo traveller. While the fluctuating atmosphere cannot be blamed on the hostel, since it is always luck of the draw, it did influence my overall experience.

“Good Value But Noisy”
+Great location. Clean. Helpful staff. Cute hostel cat. Nice rooftop hangout area. Comfortable beds. Tasty family dinner.
−The only noticeable minuses for me were the noise and lack of elevator. There was a pub crawl late at night and you could hear people getting ready to go out and coming back in during the early morning, so I didn’t sleep very well because of this. If you have a lot of luggage and are staying on the fourth floor, then hauling it all upstairs is inconvenient.
