DanielaSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: TL 2,709.547.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 5,530 reviewsThis must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!AnnetteFamily with young children
