Amazing hospitality by the staff of the hostel, went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend. Best place to stay in Istanbul 😀

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.

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!!!

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.

La première nuit était difficile, une petite chambre, les 2 autres nuits dans une grande chambre confortable avec balcon. Les chambres rénovées. Le petit déjeuner manque un peu d'hygiène et la salle est petite mais sympa.

英語もままならない私たちでしたがホステルの主人がすごく気さくな方でたくさん相手してくれました。本当に素敵なところでした。人生初のドミトリーでしたが周りの方も声かけてくださったり帰りタクシーの相乗りをしたりととてもいい思い出ができました！最上階からの眺めは最高です！
