| Fun, clean, hostel. Good location in the nightlife part of Istanbul. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Free breakfast! The dorm room, toilets, and showers were clean but cramped. No worries though, the cafe downstairs provided a place to hang out. |

| Chillout Hostel in Istanbul ist eine gute Adresse zum Leute kennenlernen... die ausgedehnten Brunches haben viel Brainstorm ergeben. Immer gut für lokale Tipps. Die Location ist super, nur einen Steinwurf von der Istiklal Stasse, dem Shopping-Paradies in Istanbul, entfernt. Das Ambiente der Zimmer ist so wie man es in einem günstigen Hostel erwarten kann, basic aber nett und sauber. Die Nassräume sind gepflegt, leider gibt es zu wenige Duschen. Auf Toilette gehen sollte man gut planen, denn es gibt nicht so viele davon, und die sind meistens besetzt. Fazit: Für EUR 15.- per Nacht in einer Weltmetropole wohl eine super Adresse. Fun ist garantiert. |

| I came here at 3am and even at this ludicrous hour the staff were really warm and welcoming, this continued for the length of my stay which became increasingly longer due to the atmosphere here. The staff here are a wealth of knowledge and are eager to answer any questions. As a veteran of many hostels around the world, I would, without hesitation, give Chillout Hostel the big double thumbs up. WARNING: This place is addictive and you can easily lose days from your itinerary, but it'll be worth every second. |

| When I first walked into the Chillout Hostel, my intitial impression of the place was not a good one. The place looked really dodgy with its dim lighting and odd decorations. But after a day or so, I realized what an ass I was. The dim lighting makes the place seem like an enclave from the outside world and is really a great for hanging out. The common room is really cosy and I met alot of great people there. Futhermore, the Hostel's location is also really close to the nightlife and many a night when I had too much to drink, I would only have to stumble back here. In a nutshell, I would honesly say that my experience in Istanbul would probably have not been so good if I did not stay here. The staff are really friendly and "chilled-out" and are willing to help whatever your problem is. Chillout rocks! |

| A nice hostel with very friendly and helpful stuff. The hostel is located between the nighlife are and the things which you have to see in Istanbul just some steps from the main shopping street. The cafe/bar is the central meeting point in the evening... and offers sometimes also life music. I enjoyed my time each moment. |

| Cozy common room at the bottom floor where they serve beer and tea and more, friendly staff and close to everything. Could do with at clean up and the staires are a bite scary when the light go out and it's pich black. But apart from that a nice place and it's hard not to have a good time. |

| Thanks for your feedback Maritza, we will find a solution for the hallway, so that other guest will not be scary anymore. |

| Very nice hostel. Perfect location right by the main street in the heart of Istanbul. Our dorm was on the 6th floor which was a bit of a climb, but we asked for the cheapest. Very nice relaxed bar on the ground floor which was perfect for meeting other guests. |

| Das Hostel hat eine tolle Location. Nicht dirket im Tourismuszentrum, doch durch gute Anbindug an Öffis alles sehr gut erreichbar. Die Atmosphäre ist wirklich wie der Name sagt, chillig. Toller Gemeinschaftsraum zum Leute kennen lernen und Spass haben. Zimmer sind einfach aber gemütlich. FŸr mich einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Spülungen am Klo sollten verbessert werden. |

| Overall a nice place to stay, the staff are friendly and will try to help you where they can. The common room is a good place to drink and meet other travelers a good friendly atmosphere in the evenings. The location is very good close to the main shopping district, bars, nightclubs and still walking distance from the major atractions. It could be a little cleaner. |

| If you want to be in the center of things, this is the place to go. If you want personal space, you might want to go somewhere else. They have plenty of beer and showers with hot water which is all a traveler like me needs. |

| Decent place to lay your head at night, and the common room is a good place to meet people. Rooms are cramped, so keep in mind that there is no personal space to be found anywhere, if that is an issue for you. |

| Ako nazov napoveda v tomto hosteli sa hodne chilluje, skvele miesto, ochotny personal a hlavne zaujimavi ludia, ktorych tu clovek stretne. Dole v chill cafe stravite viac casu nez si myslite. Lokalita-zopar minut pesi od hlavnych atrakcii, Cistota-staraju sa o to, Ranajky-mozete zozrat kolko chcete, WIFI-funguje. Jednoznacne odporucam... |
