Taksim City Ivy Hostel

Have done better review on another site as first impressions only.No breakfast as clearly advertised. No blanket of the kind that we know as blankets so at night froze a few times and slept in my clothes. No toilet paper. I didnt ask for another towel as heard disinterested staff say no to someone! The only view is of street .no terrace as photos give impression of . .. rhere is a common room near reception but a handful of peoole here to work .so dont look for music.kind of like an internet cafe without the free coffee and tea which are no more .. silence is golden. Maybe for all that hostel is empty ..was a russian girl in my room ..she left. If you like an uphill climb this is for you ..no mention of it in description. Therefore cannot drag my bag up in middle of night to any taxi or transport. As no free breakfast wishing had not paid in advance and gone elsewhere. The room is clean and shower hot somehow this hostel didnt attract anything more from ne. It s not 1 minute from Taksim square. Just a place to put your head for the night. The area around is not the greatest but just better than nothing. I love a bit of a vibe and music at least..this has none I m afraid.

Not 5 minutes away but very quiet. A little too quiet for me.. just free coffee no breakfast as advertised so was misled as clesrly says in booking conditions etc .. anyway.. plus points is very clean nice to have a bathroom attached. Basic cafe with tiny area to cook. If you like very quiet it s for you. I m 62 but prefer a bit of atmosphere..

Muy sucio. El baño goteaba por el techo y estaba muy muy sucio. Colchones incomodos y llenos de mugre. Nos metieron más gente en la habitación , incluso uno de los dueños dormía en nuestra habitación. Sucio y desagradable en general. Imposible pernoctar alli.
