Definitely stay away

Cleanliness is terrible. Ripped bedsheets, toilets rife with cockroaches, owner has been telling me for a month he will refund me though he has been beating round the bush.
Photos are extremely misleading please stay away, I stayed for a day couldn't stand and left!

DO NOT COME TO THIS HOSTEL. They are allowing homeless people with government stipends to room here. Every room is loud at night and dirty. Homeless people are smoking in the halls all day and throughout the night. Lots of sick people.

Other rooms are reserved for long stay tenants who are just as loud and noisy. Owners are lazy and do not clean anything. It is not safe.

DO NOT COME HERE. If you are in Istanbul and need an affordable place to stay, there are plenty of other options.

This might have been one of the worst hostel experiences I have had. The female dorm room is nothing like in the pictures, it's very small and with people's suitcases there is barely space to walk. Not every bed has a plug, you might have to share it with the neighboring bed which might be taken, and no plugs in the common area as well. So if I didn't have my power bank I would have been screwed.

The common area and the bathroom was very dirty. The shower and the toilet was in the same compartment, so the toilet was always wet. No toilet paper, no soap.

The stuff didn't seem to care much if you have any issues or requests.

I gave 2 stars for the location and the price. It's only 3-5 minutes away from Taksim square, and the price is really cheap. So if you need to stay close to the center and don't care much about comfort you can consider it.

If there would be something worse than terrible I would put it! It is not worth even staying in Nostalji 1 hour. Bedding, bedroom, reception area is just source of decease. It was the worst experience ever. The property host even doesn’t will to talk and accept the complaints. Never try this hostel, photos don’t reflect the reality

The worst!!!!

The worst place I have ever visited! It was like a refugee place! The beds so uncomfortable, noisy people with no respect at 2 am every day, smocking in the room (people paid a moth because they are refugees or something like that) the bathrooms were a nasty place, 1 toilette for 18 people!! .
Please pay $2 dlls more and get a better and safety place. Don’t go there!! The pics are not real!

Location

Being close to the city center and Taksim Square was very important to me, and Nostalgia Hostel solved this issue. In addition, the staff is nice and the terrace view is very beautiful. I recommend it for those looking for a short or long-term stay at an economical cost.

Harika bir deneyimdi!

Merhaba, ben iyi bir deneyim yaşadığımı söyleyebilirim Hostelde. Özellikle personelin güler yüzlü ve nazik tavrı, 24 saat sıcak su ve duş imkanı, odaların klimalı olması gibi şeyler beklentimin çok daha üstünde bir konfor sağladı bana konaklamam sırasında. Ayrıca Teras kattaki kafe ve restoranın keyfî ve manzaranın güzelliği de cabası oldu. Kesinlikle İstanbul seyahatlerimde yine tercih edeceğim bir mekan. Herkese teşekkürler.

En dernier recours

Faible prix mais sale, terrasse pour restaurant plutot cantine, forte promiscuité, deux douches toilettes pour quelques dizaines de personnes, recommande la location d un casier pour la sécurité du sac avec imposition de leur cadenas payant et caution sejour. Je n y retournerai pas.
