칠아웃 리아 호스텔 & 라운지(Chillout Lya Hostel & Lounge)

There are many hostels you can find in Taksim district. But here, believe me, you will really feel like you are in your second home. In a hospitable environment, you will have the opportunity to socialize with your guest roommates from different countries, and who knows, there will be an opportunity for new connections. Breakfast is included in the room rate (please confirm this when you arrive) and there is also a vegetarian alternative. Receptionists are very friendly. 🍁🍂🌼 Especially if you are going to stay for more than a few days, this may be a comfortable hostel for you. I have been a guest for about two weeks and I liked it very much. I would definitely recommend. 👍

This hostel is value for money but I personally would not return. The location is very good. The laundry service was cheap and efficient. I was very cold in the private rooms and the bedding was not very good. The toilet seat was also taped together, with a piece of sellotape, which is not very hygienic. However, the rooms are very big and there was a desk and a small balcony. The Wi-Fi is really bad and works intermittently. It does not reach the rooms. We did complain but the staff did not do anything to help, except say it works for them. You get breakfast but it is not very nice. There is also not much choice an a lot of the fruit/vegetables are turning. Not a very social hostel and there were cameras, in the dorms. It is also very dark and does not have much lighting. They say they offer bag storage but they let you leave your bags in a public eating area, which is accessible to anyone.

It´s for sure one of the best price/quality ratio hostels in town. However, I had some issues with the laundry: They told me to bring it in the morning, but then in the morning all slots were taken. Wi-Fi in the room does not work. THE GOOD - Bunkbed with a lot of space for items, lights, usb and power outlets, hard mattress - Central - Breakfast - Price - Cool place, with travelers, not tourists - They accepted my cancellation even after the official timing THE BAD - Wi-fi does not reach the more external dorms - Receptionist not really professional: they keep me waiting for laundry - Locker doesnt work - Not too clean
