“The staff are really helpful with directions, and they even have maps prepared for you. There are great spots to relax nearby, like parks, galleries, cafes, and bars. The hostel offers free parking and a shared lounge.”

8Verified guest

“The location is perfect for exploring the area. Plenty of places to eat, have fun, and buy souvenirs, plus it's close to public transport. Beds are comfortable, and the rooms feel cosy. They provide shower gel and shampoo, and clean the bathroom daily. Breakfast is simple but includes Turkish items like boiled eggs and veggies. One tiny issue: the shower switch can be confusing. Overall, a good stay.”

“I stayed for a week during a solo trip to Kadıköy. The rooms were modern, and the beds were really comfortable. Cleanliness was exceptional, and having a kitchenette in the room was a big plus. The staff, especially Ilay, were incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions or solve problems with a smile. The curtains gave privacy, and there was a power outlet near the bed for charging.”
