  Chilloutlya Hostel

  05 Jun 2025

  Stayed at the hostel for 5 nights. There are 91 steps from street level to the 5th floor where our room was. No lift. No handrail between 4 & 5th floors. Disgusting unclean kitchen on the first floor when we arrived on a Friday afternoon. This was cleaned by the following morning but it’s still not somewhere I would choose to cook food personally but ymmv. Wifi was generally good, just the odd drop out. Hookers on the surrounding streets, didn’t bother us but might bother you. Breakfast was decent & made the hostel more appealing as an option. Towels supplied. No toiletries provided. Bed was a bit old, springs were noticeable. Small hole in the bed sheet. 5th floor (shared with next door) balcony was pretty dirty. Hostel had cats roaming in the bar & breakfast area, not a problem this is Turkey & this is expected but they do leave a bit of an odour. Shower head was loose & the shelf in shower sloped down so you couldn’t put toiletries on it (5th floor). Other shower on this level was ok. 24 hour front desk, which was very helpful because like a complete klutz, I locked myself out of my room in the early hours! All things considered, this place was ‘ok’ given the price paid, just don’t expect The Ritz & the inclusion of Breakfast at this price earns it an extra star.

  Really, your second home ✨

  25 Feb 2023

  There are many hostels you can find in Taksim district. But here, believe me, you will really feel like you are in your second home. In a hospitable environment, you will have the opportunity to socialize with your guest roommates from different countries, and who knows, there will be an opportunity for new connections. Breakfast is included in the room rate (please confirm this when you arrive) and there is also a vegetarian alternative. Receptionists are very friendly. 🍁🍂🌼 Especially if you are going to stay for more than a few days, this may be a comfortable hostel for you. I have been a guest for about two weeks and I liked it very much. I would definitely recommend. 👍

  Cheap, urban, chilled, for travelers. But not too comfortable: wi-fi issues, reception not realable

  24 Jan 2023

  It´s for sure one of the best price/quality ratio hostels in town.However, I had some issues with the laundry:They told me to bring it in the morning, but then in the morning all slots were taken. Wi-Fi in the room does not work. THE GOOD- Bunkbed with a lot of space for items, lights, usb and power outlets, hard mattress- Central- Breakfast- Price- Cool place, with travelers, not tourists- They accepted my cancellation even after the official timingTHE BAD- Wi-fi does not reach the more external dorms- Receptionist not really professional: they keep me waiting for laundry- Locker doesnt work- Not too clean

  Great location, super friendly staff

  01 Jun 2019

  The most important points about this hostel is its friendly staff. I believe this will make everything easier.The location is great, about 2 mins walking to Istiklal street, surrounded with nice restaurants and also public transportation.The breakfast was super fresh and lovely. Tea is always ready and is being served free of charge. Bathrooms are clean. The only issue is having too many stairs for the rooms in upper floors. Overall we enjoyed a lot staying there.

  Dont go here

  26 Sept 2018

  We chose here because of its type “hostel”, probably meaning backpackers’ gathering and party-like atmosphere in lobby. But none it was, so quiet with no travelers in lobby. As simply said, it combines the hotel’s features and hostel’s freatures but as comnbined, worthless and useless. Also very loud outside for the whole night so forget about comfortable sleep.
