The staff were really kind and welcoming, and they even helped me make sure that I could adjust my schedule to attend an event I really wanted to go to. The hostel itself is very clean and has nice rooms. I would be aware though that as a volunteer, your bed is in a shared, mixed dorm in a small room that is also used for storage of some furniture and supplies. It's pretty cramped and people are sleeping at different hours throughout the day and night so there is usually not much lighting. Reception was easy and wasn't too busy.

I had a nice time at Windrose Hostel! It’s very central in Beyoglu on the European side. A 5 minute walk to Taksim Square and well connected to get to other areas.
You work 5 hours a day at reception, 6 days a week and the shifts are most of the times very relaxing. I am recommending this host to everyone who wants to be in a central area and is looking for a chill work :)

Windrose is a Very relaxed and chill hostel, you meet locals and connect with travelers quite often. Especially with the addition of the new terrace re-opening, it has become even more social. the location is great, you really feel that you are in the heart of istanbul. the manager Samet is very easy to get a long with, And always willing to work with my scheduling needs. this place is perfect for someone wanting a more calm and easygoing volunteering experience. I would Definitely recommend

During my stay, another volunteer repeatedly used my personal food and eventually stole money from me. He admitted it in a recorded conversation. Despite this, the host did not take meaningful action or protect my safety.

What’s worse, the same volunteer was regularly under the influence of drugs and alcohol before his shifts — something the host seemed to tolerate. This created an unsafe and uncomfortable environment for others.

Clean place, but serious issues with safety and supervision. Also it’s freezing cold and the heating isn’t working for receptionist I cannot recommend this host.

Your statements do not reflect the reality of your stay. Our hostel is staffed 24/7, monitored by cameras, and we have never had any safety issues.

The conflict you had with another volunteer was a personal matter, and no fault was officially found. Your review seems to come from frustration rather than facts.

Claims about drug or alcohol use are completely false. We maintain a respectful and safe environment for everyone, and your review gives a misleading impression.

The place is well located at the heart of Istanbul in taksim square. The staff are friendly and the beds are typical for a standard hostel. The hosts were warm and welcomed me to a lot of tea and snacks.

My only problem is that the English isn't that great from every member of staff so that can create a lot of confusion with tasks and agreements(at least for me).

They tend to not be flexible with your schedule and they make it up on the go. I had to come back one night even after we agreed that I didn't have to work that speciric night. I still recommend this place though.
