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.

Location

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.

Facilities

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.

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.

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.

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.
