The property is older and feels run down. There was an odor (urine?) in the elevator. They didn’t have keys for any of the rooms because their system was “down.”. You had to be escorted to your room by the front desk person - that meant WAITING for someone to come to the desk. Sometimes, I had to wait 10 minutes. Overall, I would not recommend and will not return.

Tek ranzalı odada kaldım. Asyalı bi abi vardı altta. Yatak rahat ve temizdi gördüğümce yine de yastığa havlu serdim ama iyiydi. Kilit takılabilen dolap var ama biraz dar tek karış genişliğinde ağzı. Tuvalet elimi yüzümü yıkadım sadece temizdi iyiydi, terlik varsa duş alabilirsiniz.

The listing doesn't list many amenities which I did not expect with the budget I was on, but my room smelled like a litter box which gave me a headache and I could not get the few hours of sleep I paid for, there was no soap in the bathroom to wash my hands, and there wasn't any hot water so I got to embrace military roots in taking a cold shower. Overall it was not worth the money. Thank God He allowed me to drepen my appreciation of all the blessings that I do have.

Upon arrival I was given a bed. When I went to the room there was someone else in the bed they gave me. Then I was given another bed in an other room. The next night I came back to someone sleeping in my bed. I had to gather my stuff in a completely dark room and be given another bed! 🙃 they only had cold water and provide no soap or towels. Avoid this place!

For a hostel it’s not bad but their key card system didn’t work so any time you left your room you’d have to leave it unlocked or go down to the lobby and wait for someone to let you into the room. The deadbolt didn’t work which was scary
