Great experience at the hostel, great location and the rooftop was top notch to hosts events and meet ups with guests, the comedy show and vibe was pretty unique. Everything is walkable and I had a blast in Istanbul thanks to the staff, Selah and Mesut. Thank you guys!

From day 1 the communication was lacking. Host showed up late to relieve my shift, never received a schedule, when I had a day off the host let me know a few hours before my shift. Over the course of 3 weeks I accumulated 50 hours overtime. The host promised to pay me for those hours but hasn't done so to this day. The accomodation wasn't very comfortable. The bathrooms were out of order, dirty and smelly. The bedroom was stuffy since the AC was broken. All in all a very disappointing, exploitative experience.

We enjoyed our stay at the hostel, the team was friendly, the hostel has a cool vibe and we got to meet many friendly travellers whilst staying in a great location. The work was very chill, though we did feel the communication could be better around what they expected from their volunteers and what they asked for initially. But overall we had a great time, you get to go along to the pub crawls and boat parties and they host comedy shows and live music on the roof terrace, a great place if you like meeting new people and having fun. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend.

There was a change in management just before I arrived, so things were still settling, but I had a great time! The work is super easy. You don't need bar experience, and the team was friendly, fun, and open to ideas for events and to improve the hostel. The rooftop bar/terrace has an amazing view of the Bosphorus (we saw dolphins often :) ) and is the best place to hang out. Simple traditional breakfasts & dinners are provided, which helps since it's in a pricey tourist area. Events like pub crawls and comedy nights make it social and fun. Laundry's not included, but easy to manage.
