TURQUOISE Hostel

Everything except the point below: Sparkling clean everywhere, especially bathroom Very comfy beds and good mattress and pillow as well as bed linen and towel Privacy curtains, small tables near each bunk bed Aircon working exactly as needed to fight with +30 in the city Very professional and caring manager Ismail Great breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and 10% discount for all the food and drinks. In general the restaurant is really nice. I knew about that beforehand and it wasn’t a big deal for me but please be aware: There is no kitchen Small communal space doesn’t have air con and is hardly usable during the day. The good thing - there is really powerful fridge. Toilets are separate but bathroom is shared, all the cabins are non transparent and could be locked so it’s not an issue There are no real walls between the corridor and the dorm itself, movable “walls” are used but they don’t protect from the noise of people returning back after midnight All in all I really liked it and for sure be back

And now it’s time for the big BUT: I was packing for checkout and noticed that iPhone charger, AirPods (about 200 Euro) and the locker key are missing, I carefully checked the bed and everything around twice, went for the breakfast and sitting in the restaurant reported an issue to the manager. He suggested to take a look one more time with the staff member. We did it - and what a surprise! The key and charger were guess where? Under the mattress! What an unexpected surprise! I am ready to bet that I didn’t put them there. The AirPods unfortunately are still missing, I have checked the backpack twice but I believe they are gone. Where and when - will be the mystery. It’s a very first time when missing valuables were discovered under the mattress so I have all lessons learned - always keep all, even small valuables in the bag and pockets and never-ever leave them unattended, especially if you are leaving the hostel for the whole day since at the end it will be your problem and responsibility. Without that issue and lack of walls and some sound isolation - the place is awesome.

I stayed in the only women room. I really loved the vibes, when I want to book a place I m also thinking about that. The owner, İsmail, is amazing and so so friendly he will make you feel like home especially with his Turkish tea. I liked that I knew I had my things secure as we had lockers with keys inside the room. Our room had curtains for our beds so nice privacy and night lights. We also had a small place in which we can eat, chill and maybe find some other people to chat with. It s a bit small but nice thing to have anyway. The place was clean, bathrooms and also the rooms as well. You also have a laptop that you can use in case you need it so that s another amazing thoughtful thing. Also if you decide on booking for this place, when you arrive there and you are in front of the main door, tap the door handle twice so the screen activates. I think I was too tired to try but keep this info in mind 😅 Also, if you are lucky like me you can find other amazing people to talk with and connect and even begin new friendships :D Really nice experience it was like an Erasmus stay haha.

I think the only negative thing here would be that the showers are not separated, they are in the women's bathroom. At first I was a bit scared of this info but not many people were present and you can lock the shower no problem. So not really negative for me as I ve felt safe.

It was very clean, safe, convenient, and beautiful inside, and also very comfortable. The administrator was very pleasant and friendly — I liked everything! There is a mini bar inside, and there is also a restaurant directly in the hostel. There is even a massage chair — it’s a pity that I noticed it only on the last day.
