My stay at Taksim Hostel Green House was mostly pleasant. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Taksim Square, which was convenient for exploring the city. The hostel itself was clean and had a friendly staff, but be prepared for some stairs and a lack of an elevator. Overall, it provided a safe and cozy atmosphere for solo travelers like me. 😊

I stayed in a small 6-bed female dormitory with privacy curtains, which I appreciated. The room was warm, but I had to ask the reception to adjust the temperature, since there was no thermostat. The facilities were compact and clean, with our shower inside the room, though the toilet was next to us.

The service was excellent! Gönül, at the reception, was incredibly kind, and Tugba even lent me her personal Taksim Card when I was struggling with mine. The staff was always available and eager to help, which made me feel very welcome.

The hostel is located very close to Taksim Metro station and the Havabus airport bus station, making it easy to navigate around Istanbul. However, the sharp slope leading to the hostel can be a challenge when lugging heavy bags.

I stayed in a lady room which was small but warm. Having a shower inside the room was nice, but the toilet being outside was a bit inconvenient. The privacy curtains for each bed were a great touch, giving me my own little space.

The hostel had all necessary facilities and always someone at the front desk, which was comforting. However, it could be a little noisy at night due to outside happenings.

I stayed in a female dorm room. It was cozy and had curtains for privacy, but the shower was inside the room, while the toilet was just outside. It was warm but couldn't be adjusted without asking the staff.
