Tours and prices for holidays at the hotel Taksim City Hostel (ex. Taksim White Suites) 3* 2024-2025 Turkey, Istanbul

+: Nothing

-: SCAMMER!I paid for the room and the extremely unfriendly owner wouldn't give me my room.TAKE ANOTHER HOSTEL!!

+: There was heating, hot water, blankets, towels, water for heating coffee. Cheapest place. 2 cheap (BIm, A101,) shops and 2 museums within a 3-minute walk. Airport bus 13 minutes on foot.

-: the room does not look like the pictures. It is in a very dilapidated condition and does not correspond to reality. Moldy, peeling plaster, bad shower head, cracked wall, room without cleaning (only the trash was changed), the receptionist and her colleague didn't greet me after the 3rd day because they thought I was gay. You can reach the accommodation via an elevator, it is loud because of the 5:45 a.m. Muslim prayer with speakers. they didn't provide a pillowcase, it was stained. most of the overnight guests arrived at midnight so it was never possible to sleep. the room is written as a four-bed room, but in fact, two four-bed rooms open from a corridor, the windows of which can be opened to our room. Thus, wherever the light is turned on, it illuminates both rooms at night. In addition, there are common cupboards in the corridor, which rattle together like the eight residents. The bathroom and the toilet are the same. I bought toilet paper and hand wash myself in the store because there wasn't any. it is a four-story building with one room on each floor. On the second floor, we had the main controller for the refrigerator, so it constantly comes into our room. It is also not true that the room has a separate refrigerator. There is no refrigerator in the room. You have to enter through another door and there is the kitchen where there are actually two refrigerators for the whole house. This reception opens at nine in the morning, so if you need something from the fridge before nine in the morning, you will not have access to it. There are about 25 residents, and anyone who touches them will be affected by the honvéd, since the refrigerator is not in the room. there was no hair dryer, even though it was written that there was one. The kitchen downstairs is very small and disappointing.

+: Wi-Fi worked perfectly, you get your own keys for entering property

-: They cheated if it comes to the description of the room that I booked. It was supposed to be a 4 bed dorm room with bathroom, however I'm reality those were 2 tiny rooms, 4 beds each, connected by one corridor, having one bathroom for all 8 people staying. That's way different of what they advertised. The lockers are useless as the back panel of the locker is falling out and anybody willing to steal your stuff can do it without much effort put into it. My sheets were not changed, they contained somebody's hair from the beginning, I preferred to sleep in my own sleeping bag.

+: Staff are friendly and helpfulRoom was cleanGood value for moneyLocated in a quiet area of the city with lots of dining options and main attractions within walking distance

+: Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es war lein Problem, mein Gepäck vor dem Check-in dort aufbewahren zulassen. Die Lage ist super, ein paar hundert Meter fußläufig bis in die große Fußgängerzone von Taksim. Die Betten waren gemacht. Jedoch fand ich das Badezimmer leider nicht so hygenisch, insbesondere wenn sich 8 Leute ein Bad teilen müssen. Ich finde es sehr wichtig, dass ich mich in einem sauberen Bad frisch machen kann. Aber vielleicht ist mein standard auch etwas zu hoch. Abgesehen von der Sauberkeit, kann man dort ein oder zwei Tage verbringen, wenn man einfach nur zum schlafen kommt.
