"Fotoğraflardaki gibi lüx görünümlü asla değil, orta seviye standart bir hostel sadece, Ortak paylaşımlı banyo ve tuvalet olduğunu farkedemeden aldık, Maalesef herşeyi kendiniz temin etmeniz gerekiyor, orta düzeyde bir hostel yatacak yer hariç başka bir hizmet yok. İyice inceleyip karar verin. Mutfak yemek vs yok, su almadıysanız içeceğiniz musluk bile yok maalesef :) "

"Very unclean and worn building. Half of it was a building site so works began early in the morning. The basement room had a window that you could hear people moving about all night. The shower and bathroom were so bad we really refrained from using it at all. A taxi driver informed us that there are women who offer extra services in this hostel. AVOID THIS HOSTEL. Wasn’t even cheap compared to other accommodation we were just desperate for somewhere to sleep. "
