Cheers Hostel Reviews

W/ a prime location in Sultanahmet, Cheers is the perfect base to explore the old city. Rooms are clean and comfy, breakfast is substantial & tasty & the top floor bar (w/ the best unobstructed view of Hagia Sofia in the city) is a perfect place to start or finish an evening out. The staff (Tarik in particular) is a wealth of information & they go out of their way to make guests feel at home. Even after checking out & moving to longer term accommodation I returned to Cheers again and again!

Overall, Cheers Hostel provided an excellent experience. Not only was it centrally located, but the environment that the staff created was beyond our expectations. The staff was happy to help answer any questions and also suggest worthwhile restaurants and sites around Istanbul. One of highlights of our trip was sitting in the hostel bar overlooking the Hagia Sophia interacting with the many diverse guests from around the world. We would highly recommend staying at Cheers Hostel in Istanbul.

Very nice staff

This hostel is awesome. You've got one of the best views in the city of the Hagia Sophia from their rooftop bar. The staff is very helpful and willing to do anything to make sure your stay is one to remember. Beds and other facilities are comfy/clean, free breakfast in the morning and great coffee all day. Great location and great hostel environment. Next time i'm in istanbul i'll definetly stay at cheers again!

We loved our stay in Cheers Hostel. People are very friendly and you can make lots of friends in the hostel's bar, that has a wonderful view from Hagia Sophia. The staff is very helpful and does everything they can to make your stay comfortable. The location is great, it's close to everything, and you can visit almost everything by foot. One of The best hostels I've ever been.

Literally the best 4 days I've ever spent in a hostel. It was my first time traveling on my own, so I was a little nervous, but the staff was incredible and the atmosphere was perfect for meeting people. It was easy to find, perfectly located among the attractions, clean, safe, and pretty darn cheap. There can't be a better hostel in Istanbul

Tarek and his team are doing a great job at Cheers Hostel. I was staying in the large dorm and everything was clean as you want it to be. Tarek hooks you up with fellow guests if you're a solo traveller like I was. He showed me where to go and how to get to places. The location is incredible for anything you wanna do in the city. The hostel bar offers great views and is a perfect place to connect with fellow guests! Thumbs up, I would always come again

Of the 4 hostels I stayed in on this trip, Cheers definately was the best. Wonderful, helpful, happy staff. The bar was a lot of fun in the evening with good music and was the gathering place each night. I would definately recommend it for any age.

After some soulless hostels in western Europe,it was great to be back in Turkey and the Cheers hostel is the place to stay .Perfect location,comfortable beds,good breakfast,bathrooms,lockers and wifi. All the things that are expected in a good hostel. The bar has an amazing view of the Hagia Sofia - great place to meet other travellers. What makes this one stand out is the incredible staff that helped all the guests get to know each other . A big happy family. Stay there!

Brilliant. Super bar at the top, amazing views of the city, but also cozy and good for conversation and meeting others. Staff are super friendly and speak very good English. Very safe and secure, I've left my laptop out unattended in the bar all day whilst I've been out in the city. Great location. They just really look after you here. Will be back for Christmas, New Year - my new home in Istanbul!

Really a nice place to stay in Istanbul! It`s near almost every important places, have nice comfortable beds and a bar with a great view of Aya Sofia. I totally recommend it!

Brilliant Hostel! The Staff are super friendly and helpful, Tarik introduces everyone to the group and encourages interaction. The hostel itself is clean and very well situated. A perfect place to stay for groups or individuals. I want to go back!!!

Cheers hostel was amazing. I had a few days stay before heading out to other parts of Turkey. I had an amazing time staying here. Excellent hospitality, affordable price, brilliant location and the warmth of the atmosphere makes my visit in Istanbul memorable. I would definitely recommend staying here and would be back here again. And cheers~~

Need more power points in rooms

Just two words, great hostel!

Excellent hostel and Tarik the manager is really helpful with anything you will require.

Thx Tarik & the gang for having me was sad to leave. Christina ;-)

Amazing location in the heart of the old city, great views of the Hagia Sophia, and it's next to excellent restaurants and shops. We stayed in a private room which was a few minutes' walk from the main building, but it was a large room with a comfortable bed. Breakfast included bread (not stale!), eggs, tomatoes, cheese, coffee. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

I would definitely recommend Cheers Hostel, best location, nice staff, good breakfast and they give you good insider tipps.. if i go to Istanbul, i would go to Cheers Hostel again...

Very nice staff! Also very good located. Worth it!
