The staff was incredibly kind. The other guests were very nice. I would’ve preferred a lower bunk and they were plenty of those for them to give me but somehow I got an upper bunk. Otherwise it was a good place. The location is good if you’re interested in the old town sites.

Amazing hostel

If you’re in Istanbul stay here. I can not say enough good things about this hostel. We had such an amazing find here. Everyone that works here are amazing and made us feel so welcome. Seyful, Tarik, Sinan are seriously the best. Such great guys. We even left for 5 days and then came back here to say hi and hangout for another day. The bar is great and we met people from all over. Definitely would stay here again.

Everyone at the Cheers Hostel in Istanbul treated me like a queen from the first moment until the last! Sfy and Sinan greeted me with huge smiles & immediately helped me with my luggage when I arrived. Tarik was so sweet and always took the time to ask if I needed anything throughout my stay. Elif in the bar was super friendly and warm every time I saw her, and Hasan made delicious meatballs & chicken wings for our bbq. Even more impressive was the owner Onur. He went far, far beyond the expected to help me in a million ways. When I told him about a terrible hair color job I got in Israel, he sent me to his personal hair stylist, called several times during my appointment to make sure it was going well, and even waited at the hostel to see the results. In the end his stylist Zeki gave me the best color & cut of my life! On my last night Onur also moved me to a lovely single room in a sister hotel so that I would sleep well before a very long flight. Simply amazing client service! I am sad to leave and will definitely come back to Cheers Hostel when in Istanbul! 10/10!!!

Friendly hostel

It is not the most fancy place, quite the opposite, but still a great place. The guys that run the place are extremely friendly. I stayed in a single room not in the main building and it was clean, quiet and good value for money. Breakfast is included, not a very big variety but it keeps hunger away. Great central location with fantastic view of Hagia Sofia.

이스탄불 최고의 위치가 아닌가 생각됩니다 술탄아흐멧에서도 가장 중심에 위치하여 도보로 주요 관광지까지 5-10분이면 접근가능하고 귤하네 트램역에서도 매우가깝습니다 최근에 리노베이션 한 숙소에 머물렀는데 청결하고 쾌적하였습니다 호스텔 특성상 냉장고가 없어 다소 아쉬웠으나 공용냉장고 사용을 도와주시어 더운여름 시원한 음료 마시는데 불편없이 지냈습니다 스텝분들 모두 친절하시어 재방문 의사 100%입니다
