Cheers Hostel, Istanbul, Turkey
9.4
21st Jun 2015

Cheers is a great hostel with nice rooms, excellent staff, and it's located right in the heart of Sultanahmet. The hostel is a short walk from many of Istanbul's key sights including the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Aya Sofya and Basilica Cistern, to name only a few. There is a member of staff on reception all day and night to help you, and they are all very friendly. The rooms are large and have lockers for your belongings. There aren't heaps of bathrooms but they are cleaned regularly.

I really enjoyed my experience staying in this hostel, with it's great location, helpful staff and good pool. I stayed in an 11-bed dorm at Nirvana. I slept in one of the niches cut out of the cave rock, which was a pretty great novelty. The linen was not very new but clean. The dorm itself was quite damp, being underground, and the bathroom suffered from this lack of ventilation, with visible mould. But it was a very good price, and for that I overlooked the lack of lockers or even a door lock.

Surfing Etxea, San Sebastian, Spain
9.1
28th May 2015

Surfing Etxea is a great hostel! The staff are very friendly and helpful and have great recommendations of things to do and see. Although the rooms and the hostel itself is quite small, there is a great vibe, and people hang out and talk to each other in the common spaces. There are only two bathrooms, each with a toilet and shower, so sometimes you do have to wait in a queue to use them. The security is good, you have a key to access the building, one for the hostel and another for your locker.
