it's located near taksim sq. which is istanbul's main bus hub and right in the middle of istiklal street the main shopping district.

from here you can find all sorts of restaurants and lively bars with outside seating.

the owner is very friendly and can give you advice on where to go, and stuff. and the classical decoration with ottoman couches and large lamps gives this bohemian hostel great character!

"I hope you find a place at Bohem cause everybody wants to stay there"

I took 27 university students to Istanbul on a choir tour, staying at the Chambers of the Boheme. The proprietor could not have been more helpful; the rooms are well appointed and clean and the hostel is convenient for a plethora of cafes, bars and other entertainment. It represents remarkable value for money. The only drawback would be the noise from some of the local nightspots.

Me and my girlfriend spend 3 wonderful days in Ismabul.
The Chambers is much better than a hostel. It seems like a Hotel.
Rooms are very clean and stylish and the breakfast is amazing for a hostel.
The building seems to be new.
Is a very secure place and the staff are great people. We seriously recommended this place.

"Beautiful rooms, like a french budoir!"

Comments  (English):
Chambers of the Boheme is brand new and in a great location in Taksim, so there is great potential. Some of the problems are: Brand new so no services such as internet, laundry, towels, so on. The address is on a door that remains open all day and there is no sign so it is hard to find. We walked by it 3 times before realizing the cafe was named Cafe Boheme. Staff is nice, but they need to work on thier amenities.
