My stay at Wabi Hostels in Istanbul was a mixed experience. The location near Taksim Square was fantastic, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. However, the rooms were quite small, and the breakfast options were quite limited, which was disappointing. Additionally, noise from parties on the rooftop made it difficult to have a peaceful stay.

I found my bed in the 4-bed female dormitory clean and cozy, but the room felt cramped with barely any space to move around. The large lockers were definitely a plus.

The staff were truly wonderful, especially the lady from Iran who made me feel right at home. Mr. Ahmed even helped me with directions to local attractions, which I appreciated.

The hostel's location was very convenient, just a short walk from Taksim Square and close to the metro station. However, it's situated in a dark alley that made me feel a bit uneasy at night.

Breakfast was served on the rooftop, which had a magnificent view, but the options were quite basic and ran out quickly. The limited time for breakfast (ending at 10 am) felt a bit early for a hostel.

Although I appreciated the cleanliness of the shared showers and toilets, I found the rooftop space could get really hot in the afternoon with no AC. The lift was great for carrying luggage.

My stay at Wabi Hostels had its ups and downs. The staff were friendly and made me feel at home, which I appreciated. However, there were some issues with cleanliness and comfort that detracted from my experience.

I found the upper berth in my dormitory a bit uncomfortable, and the room overall wasn't very clean. Dust on the shelves was a bit off-putting. I had issues with the locker not working properly, which was inconvenient.

Breakfast was included, and I enjoyed the focaccia bread. But it left me wanting more options. The rooftop area was a lovely space to relax and meet others, with a nice view of the city.

There were good facilities available, including lockers and a rooftop for socializing. However, I noticed a lack of hand soap in the bathrooms at times, which was frustrating.

I had a fantastic stay at Wabi Hostels. The cleanliness and friendly staff made a huge impression on me, especially the Iranian staff member, Ramin, who was incredibly kind. The rooftop bar offers stunning views, especially during breakfast, which was a good way to start my day. However, there were some small hiccups with the breakfast offerings that could use improvement.

Wabi Hostels has an amazing location in the heart of Istanbul, just a short walk to Taksim Square and close to various transport links. I felt completely safe navigating the area, although it was located in a slightly dark alley.

The breakfast on the rooftop was a lovely experience, but I found the selection to be quite basic and could use a wider variety to truly reflect a Turkish breakfast. The view, however, was absolutely amazing.

The facilities were impressive, offering laundry services and a rooftop area that served as a great hangout spot. I appreciated the additional amenities like lockers and a lift for heavy luggage.

During my stay at Wabi Hostels, I found the atmosphere to be warm and welcoming, and the staff, particularly Seif and Eje at the front desk, were exceptionally helpful. The location was great for exploring, just a short walk to Taksim Square, but I did experience some noise from the rooftop terrace during the evenings. Overall, the cleanliness and modern facilities made for a comfortable experience.
