The hostel isn't just a hostel, it's a meeting point for true travelers. It was the richest experience of my whole trip. I met people from places where I'd never met anyone before, we shared life stories, travel adventures, walks out and parties. I made good friends and learned about Turkish culture. The location is great for exploring both touristy and local places. Tasks are easy and you get plenty of free time. Farruk is a peaceful soul with many travel stories and cooks well. I'm deeply grateful. I'll miss sweet the hostel, the cheeky Ufo, Kebab, and their cute newborn babies. I'll be back, for sure!

Being immersed in the center of a city like Istanbul helps you with mobility and provides you with alternatives to be able to socialize and immerse yourself in the culture. The diversity of cultures can be experienced with open hands in this hostel where every day you face meeting people from many places in the world. The tasks are what you can usually expect in a hotel environment. The infrastructure is old and during my stay the hostel maintained an adequate order and cleanliness, although that can also vary according to the travelers staying there. COMPLETELY IN LOVE the hostel. Buen lugar

It's a lovely place with a very chill vibe created by Faruk. He is great to work with and I had a good time there. The job and schedule are very flexible, Faruk is open to talk and help the staff. The location is perfect, very easy to reach different parts of the city. Thanks Faruk.
