Really pretty hostel in the heart of Istanbul, it has a good quality-price ratio. I was there in February. Their staff is very, very, very sympathetic and agreeable! The barman was a strange man (in very positive sense! :D ). Classic common life as in every hostel, the atmosphere is hot and pleasant. The hostel has an internet wireless connection... More

We really loved our stay here while visiting Istanbul. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The location was perfect (in the old town) and they really helped us out with the parking situation. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We stayed in the dorm and slept very well and felt very safe. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We really liked this hostel. The staff is friendly and helpful. You can hear the call to prayer from about 6 mosques from your room, which is eerie and wonderful. The location is central to every old town site you could want to see. If there is anything else you want to see, ask the staff, and they will get... More

This is a VERY centrally located hostel. The staff are very friendly, helpful and happy. Very close to the tram line and centrally located to all the major sites. Warm atmosphere. Great people. Free breakfast and coffee in the morning. And a rooftop bar with an amazing view of Hagia Sofia. Highly recommend.

Couldn't have felt more welcomed as a solo traveller. Clean, lovely breakfast and friendly and helpful staff. Bit noisy one night with a large group next door but I was still on good time so should have been partying too :).

I stayed at Cheers for a week at the beginning of a study abroad trip, and again for a night at the end of the trip. The location was amazing and within walking distance of many important sites we visited. The staff was great and many of my friends and myself keep in contact with some of them! If I... More

Me and a mate stayed at Cheers through a tour and planned to stay in Istanbul after the tour but hadnt booked ahead. When we asked for a room the hostel was full, but they let us crash in the bar for cheap. The staff were all so awesome and laid back. The whole hostel has a very laid back... More

Totally loved this hostel. It's pretty small (1 dorm on each floor and private rooms - as I understand - are located in a separate building across the road) so has a really friendly, intimate feel to it. Staff are lovely, fun and always willing to help. The beds were large and comfy and the room was spacious and clean.... More
