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!!!
The property is in an amazing location and the staff could not have been more welcoming! However there was mold in my shower. Otherwise it was a great property!
Cheers scores high marks for its knowledgeable and friendly staff and ideal location to the major tourist attractions.
WiFi not that strong throughout.
Private rooms can be three floors up without an elevator and in a separate building w/out a view 3 minutes walk from main lobby/bar/breakfast building.
Everyone was polite and helpful, and it had quite a family atmosphere about it. It is 2 minutes from all the important sites of Istanbul. Very clean and quiet. A really nice buffet breakfast is available in the morning. Really nice.
Best city center hostel I've seen. Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff, plus clean rooms and bathrooms. They even provide a breakfast worth eating (unlike some places...). I felt as though I was staying with friends. I will return the next time I am passing through Istanbul.
