Very safe place.The location is really good as long as you know where to take the transportation.Try to ask the bus drivers coz locals or shop owners have no idea about which bus to take etc.on my 1st day,i struggled a lot coz of this.
Taxi is so expensive in local currency,so if you are turkish DO NOT take the taxi ever but if you are a foreigner then you should b fine coz the exchange rate is good.
In mid summer the weather is super hot.Dry but so hot.
The hostel was clean,cozy,easy to reach,near the shops,old tram,new tram,the port,restaurants,bus stops and kale içi area etc.
So many cafes,restaurants,hotels near by.
You can public transports,especially the old tram to go to the nearest public beach.
From the airport,you can either use "havaĆ bus company" or public buses or the tram to get here.
From the bus terminal,you can take the tram and then transfer to the old tram.usually takes 30min but consider the waiting time not to miss your flight or bus.So you can leave the hostel an hour early to reach your destination.I left an hour ago to catch my bus,i arrived 10min before my departure.So be careful.
The hostel is right as it seems in the photos.The staff were very helpful (though never ask them about the transportation or take the taxi even if they say so :)
I thank ismail and kadir for all their help.
Aynur is the cleaning lady.She was very nice.
There are pubs,bars near by.So it is kinda noisy till 1am.
The ACs work perfectly in the dorms.Enough toilets and showers.
