Hi, I want to tell you step by step: 1. Reception and check in time; the chairman of the hostel was so cool and warm. He was such good Kurdish man I have ever seen. And about check in of course you can get it in 24 hours too. 2. Wi-fi; hi recommend you give a turkcell for many reasons, but in the hostel you have free unlimited wi-fi. It's very good, isn't it? 3. Facilities; You give a clean (blanket, towel, paper toilet). You have access to dinnerware and refrigerators in the kitchen too. (Note: Don't remember slippers for yourself too). 4. Location; Can you believe that it's just 10 min on foot till Taksim Sq., Metro, Bus, Taxi and cable tram. 5. How quiet? About the noisy places believe me it's quite good.

Many people are smoking in Istanbul.

Great hospitality. The room is clean, utilities and everything is new. First floor : room with 4 beds, mini kitchen, back area & toilet. Second floor : private room for 2 with shower inside. Then mixed dorms. Third floor : 2 shower rooms & mixed dorms. You get a towel and locker. I like that in the 4 beds there's electric plug near the pillow. Eventhough the staff can't speak English, but Google translate will make everything easier.

The space height of the bunk bed is too low. I can't even sit on the bed.

Taksim History Wooden Hostel is a quiet place and your host Sabih is an excellent person, super friendly and attentive. I enjoyed my days in this hostel

Perhaps the location is not the best because it is down a hill.

Good value. Close to the Havabus stop for the bus to the airport. The communication with the hostel was easy over whatsapp. I arrived very late because of my flight delay, but the hostel shared the door lock code for me to enter and which room to use. The bed was very comfortable, with white bed sheets that were clean and a pillow that matched. The temperature in the room was a little too warm. The hostel was happy for me to keep my luggage in the room after the checkout time to collect later. I will definitely recommend this place and will use it again if I need to.

Room was too warm.

The guy at reception (maybe the owner?) was very kind and helpful. Beds are comfortable. Very close to metro and lots of places to eat.

My room did not have fan or aircon, so a bit uncomfortable to sleep at night, but manageable. A bit of noise from the street, but much quieter than other places in Taksim area.

The guests who come are nice, I meet people from all cultures. I chat and sit. This gave me great pleasure. Since I travel constantly, I will definitely prefer this place every time I come to Istanbul.When you leave the hostel, turn right. If you continue straight, you will see Taksim Square. I usually use the metro for transportation. It stops in front of many touristic areas. You can see street vendors outside in the evenings. You can come across people selling bags and watches for very cheap. If you like shopping, ask the business owner about the socialite bazaar.The socialite market is set up on certain days. And shopping is very cheap for clothing. If you are looking for a tour, booking shows you suitable tours. It is possible to visit Istanbul at affordable prices. Overall I can say very good. I will come again. Goodbye for now

The hostels location is very near Taksim square and a 5 mintue walk from the Ataturk airport bus stop, it's situated far enough away from the hustle bustle down a quiet dainty street. A very clean, tidy and safe premises, all the utilities work well and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nothing I did not like

The staff was extremely helpful, when I needed help it didn't matter what it was they were willing to help me with a genuine smile. The location was on point I visited all of the European side of Istanbul by walking and this wasn't even a necessity you can just get public transport and that would have been better for me but I'm just different, The location it's great Taksim square it's nearby and you can go everywhere there. I also had luck I guess the people who slept in the same room with me were very nice and we were all careful not to make any noise at night etc.

Location - very close to Taksim square yet located on a nice quiet street. There were no blankets in bed (only the cover) but got one when asked. The staff were friendly :) + use the shower/toilet on the upper floor, it's nicer than the downstairs one

Our room was on the second floor where the floor was steep.. Very basic facilities but did the job > great hostel for sleeping for a few nights!

Sabih is a very generous owner with the brightest smile. He made us feel very welcome and we spent many nights with him and his friend Dogan on the terrace. The location is perfect, near Taksim square which is the most central place of the city. The vibe in the hostel was good.

The facilities are very basic.
