其实当我在寻找伊斯坦堡的落脚处时，我的意愿都是住在Sultanahmet旧城区。但，后来买了早上6点出发到Dalaman Airport的航班，我便决定住在Taksim新城区。原因很简单，因为最容易抵达Sabiha Gocek Airport的方法是乘坐Havatas公司的机场巴士。Havatas机场巴士在欧洲区的最后drop off point是在Taksim，我们30号下午3点抵达宿舍，第二天又要搭早上4点半的巴士去机场，如果住在旧城区就很不方便了。
My initial plan for accommodation is to stay in Sultanahmet area throughout our stay in Istanbul, but since we booked the 6am flight to Dalaman Airport, we need to stay in Taksim area. This is because the easiest way to reach Sabiha Gocek Airport is by taking the Havatas Shuttle Bus. Taksim is the final drop off point in Europe side of Istanbul, therefore it is very inconvenience for us to stay in Sultanahmet area as we need to take the 430am bus to airport.
可以在一下网站查询Havatas机场巴士的时间表

最后我通过agoda预定了Istanbul Green House Taksim的6 female dorm room，一个人一晚才大约RM52（不含早餐），对我来说是蛮便宜的价格。
I book the room at Istanbul Green House Taksim through Agoda, and the hostel rate was RM52(without breakfast) per person for a 6 female dorm room.

他家的地图只可以用“简单明了”四个字来形容，

这家宿舍的位置很方便（超级方便！），距离Havatas drop off point只有5-8分钟脚程，距离Taksim Square和独立大街则是10分钟脚程，只不过需要经过一个大斜坡（不到100米）才可以走到大街。后来我发现我之前的second choice宿舍：Bunk@Taksim就和Green House在同一条街上。
The location is SUPERB! It is only 5-8 minutes walking distance from Havatas drop off point and 10 minutes walking distance from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue.
我觉得这家宿舍的员工都很热心。出发前，Talat很有耐心的解答我的每一个问题；抵达后，他们以最快的速度完成check in的手续，为我们推荐行程，还有帮我们扛行李上房间。他们的reception是24小时开着的，所以凌晨checkout，没问题的啦！
The staffs here are helpful. Talat is very patience in attending my question through FB messenger before my arrival, and they helped us to carry the big luggage to our room. They have a 24 hour reception, a good news for us that need to check out at 4am.

伊斯坦堡宿舍的阶梯就是这么小和斜，完全是步步惊心。
Staircases in all the hostels of Istanbul are small and steep
There is no elevator to success, you have to take stairs.
我们的6人女生房就在第三楼。打开门，房间不大，左右两边可以摆下三张上下铺，中间有一张小凳子。门的左边，有个冲凉房，厕所和洗脸盆则在房间外。房间的尾端就是一个阳台，超赞的啦！另外，每一张床都有一个locker，最喜欢的有curtain，让你有点个人隐私空间。房里和交谊厅都有wifi，只是网速还好。
Our 6 female dorm is located at third floor. There is 3 bunk beds inside the room, with one small sofa chair at the centre of the room. Attached bathroom is on the left side of our entrance, while toilet and basin is outside of the dorm. There is a balcony at the end of our room. Every bed have their own locker, and complimentary curtain for added privacy.
官网上的房照，摆设并没有多大的差别，
只是实际上可以看出房间有一定的年龄了。

我们4个人的行李一放进去就占满了整个空间。
很喜欢房间的采光，很明亮。
The room was fully occupied by our luggage. *shy*

房里的浴室，有热水。
因为没有干湿分离，衣服好容易被弄湿。

房外的洗漱空间，左边就是厕所。
洗漱空间使用了感应灯，so你要一边跳舞一边刷牙，
