The hostel was very dirty. There were a lot of mosquitoes. There was no toilet paper or paper towels. The staff was not polite, they acted as if they were bored with their job, as if the customers were making their lives difficult. Also, after we checked out, we asked for the luggage to stay there for a few hours, and they wanted extra money. I have stayed in many hotels and hostels around the world, I have never seen such a ridiculous practice.

It will be good it air-con works

Air conditioner was not working so I couldn't sleep well. I was sweating whole night. You should repair if it doesn't work. "Why don't you open the window?" Damn You're really hoping window's dramatic cooling effect? It's damn July guys.

Excellent stay in super position

We are a couple around our 50ies and stayed at Kevin's hostel four nights after having stayed in Sultanahmet with the family for another couple of days. First thing we realised about the location, Kadiköy was that it's about half of the price level compared with the historic old town. Kevin's hostel is exceptionally well located in easy walking distance towards the ferry, busses, trams and train as well as to supermarkets, liquor shops, kebab eateries and the beautiful market area (east of Kadiköy's main road), not only markets but tea/ coffee rooms, all sorts of restaurants and beer bars, genius and way more genuine than we saw elsewhere. We had a very good balcony room with a wonderful comfortable, big double bed, wardrobe, table & two chairs that we moved to the balcony to enjoy the quiet afternoons (the balconies go to the yard side, so a good night's sleep is guaranteed). There is a well equipped common kitchen and a huge bathroom was just across our room. EXCELLENT shower!!! The hostel has even a small backyard/ garden with common area to sit and talk, bbq facilities abundant. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help and they were cleaning the house once a day, the bathrooms several times per day. When back in Istanbul we are definitely coming back to stay here! Thank you for everything! Bob and Christine ☘

I'd booked a bed in a 4-person dorm but on arrival was told that 4-person dorms are only for group bookings and they had none available, but assured me that 6-person dorm would be likely filled up to 4 people, which turned out to be true. The kitchen facility is very basic and there is no common area to eat but there are tables in the dorms. They have a conventional washing machine on-site and do laundry. There are lockers that fit a 41L backpack outside of the rooms but bring your own padlock. There was no key to the dorm but the door to the hostel is locked and they'll unlock it as there's a person living on premises manning the reception.

シングルルームを取ったのですが、風呂とトイレが共同です。それはいいです。でも、10分も経っていないシャワーに「あと何分で終わる?5分後に上がって」急かされます。また、タオルも乾かして2日連続で使うよう言われます。何のためにシングルルームを取ったのかかわかりません。ただ、こちらが笑顔でしていれば、それ以上嫌なことはされません。　あと、Wi-Fiが繋がりにくいです。常に。　エアコン付きの部屋なのにエアコンのリモコンは用意されてません。　部屋に虫が入りやすい構造のようです。

Convenient for SAW airport but not a gem

I arrived late at night and checked in as normal. Then the girl from reception asked me to pay: I said that I had already paid and she said she could not find it. This was late and I was tired, so I said we could resolve everything in the morning. Shouting and screaming followed; then she called the owner by telephone, who spoke with me and threatened me with the police. Eventually they did find proof of payment and were apologetic in the morning. The only other note-worthy point is that no towel is provided, and of course no toiletries. While the photo shows a garden area I could not find any way to get to it.
