It was simple, but adequate. Clean, with common bathroom. A kitchen to use. Liked the area with lots of food options nearby.

Convenient for SAW airport but not a gem
I arrived late at night and checked in as normal. Then the girl from reception asked me to pay: I said that I had already paid and she said she could not find it. This was late and I was tired, so I said we could resolve everything in the morning. Shouting and screaming followed; then she called the owner by telephone, who spoke with me and threatened me with the police. Eventually they did find proof of payment and were apologetic in the morning. The only other note-worthy point is that no towel is provided, and of course no toiletries. While the photo shows a garden area I could not find any way to get to it.

Excellent stay in super position
We are a couple around our 50ies and stayed at Kevin's hostel four nights after having stayed in Sultanahmet with the family for another couple of days. First thing we realised about the location, Kadiköy was that it's about half of the price level compared with the historic old town. Kevin's hostel is exceptionally well located in easy walking distance towards the ferry, busses, trams and train as well as to supermarkets, liquor shops, kebab eateries and the beautiful market area (east of Kadiköy's main road), not only markets but tea/ coffee rooms, all sorts of restaurants and beer bars, genius and way more genuine than we saw elsewhere. We had a very good balcony room with a wonderful comfortable, big double bed, wardrobe, table & two chairs that we moved to the balcony to enjoy the quiet afternoons (the balconies go to the yard side, so a good night's sleep is guaranteed). There is a well equipped common kitchen and a huge bathroom was just across our room. EXCELLENT shower!!! The hostel has even a small backyard/ garden with common area to sit and talk, bbq facilities abundant. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help and they were cleaning the house once a day, the bathrooms several times per day. When back in Istanbul we are definitely coming back to stay here! Thank you for everything! Bob and Christine ☘

Özensiz
Çarşaflar kullanılmaktan yırtık pırtıktı. Klimanın kumandası yoktu. Odanın içinde karıncalarla beraber konakladık. Bulunduğumuz katın banyosu korkunçtu.

It’s a cheap option for a private room in Kadikoy, just minutes away from the ferry pier. Though the amenities are quite dated, it’s comfortable enough for the short stay.

The place is very clean, double bed (bunkbeds) even for single person. You can cook in the kitchen. 24 hours access door. Good location (5-10 minutes walking distance to Metro Station). However, Wifi connection is sometimes slow.

Great hostel just a few minutes walk from the Kadikoy Terminal which is very convenient if you have a flight out of Sabiha Gokcen Airport since you can take the E10 or E11 bus from Kadikoy Terminal to that airport. You can also take the ferry from Kadikoy Terminal to the European side of Istanbul. The hostel is clean and a perfect location with many shops and restaurants open all day and night. The guy who worked there, Ali was a great help and a very kind man.

Air conditioner was not working so I couldn't sleep well. I was sweating whole night. You should repair if it doesn't work. "Why don't you open the window?" Damn You're really hoping window's dramatic cooling effect? It's damn July guys.

Memnum kalmadım. En üst katta bir oda verildi çok küçük ve basıktı, değiştirmek istediğimizi söylediğimizde diğer odaların ortak tuvaleti olduğu söylendi ama böyle bir şey belirtilmemişti. Tuvalette duş kabini yoktu zaten iki adımlık bir tuvaletti. Tavsiye etmiyorum bu fiyata değmez.
