Booked this hostel for 2 days and end up staying more than 2 weeks, I think it says a lot about it. Check in was quick and easy. The staff was amazing, helped mw with everything they could, even helped me with my backpack, gave me great recommendations for food and places to see. They have great volunteers there, my favourite one- Mark, very interesting conversation buddy and just entertaining personality. Pub crawl was amazing, have not partied so hard in long time. Beds are amazing, comfortable, have curtains so it feels like you have your own private corner. Showers and toilets was very clean. And the pasta dinner on Sunday was really nice touch. As female solo traveller, I felt safe and comfortable in this hostel. Big thanks to Borry, for helping me, making great coffee , leading pub crawl and game night. Very social atmosphere in the hostel, made new friend and connect, and for that I’m really thankful. Best hostel I have stayed in 2024. Love this place and will definitely return here, already missing that place.

Perfect location. Major attractions are within few minute walk. Can get to other parts of the city easily by tram. Facilities are well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided some useful tips on travelling in Istanbul and other parts of Turkey, and gave some suggestions on where i could go for the rest of my trip in Turkey, which i found really useful.

The breakfast is one of the best hostel breakfasts I've ever had (get the quinoa and feta cheese! And don't forget the Turkish tea). One of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on in a hostel. The bathrooms are outside the rooms, so there was a bathroom available somewhere in the hostel and I didn't have issues of waiting for one. The manager and staff members are fun and light-hearted, we had some great laughs! I've traveled in hostels around the world, and Cheers Hostel is one of my favorites!

The property is well located in the Old City, comfortable, homely atmosphere activities like dinners and games. The wifi was also reliable for remote desktop work. A special mention to Aleyna from the hostel-she is efficient and advises well. She helped with booking a Bursa Tour, a hammam visit, and also where to explore in Istanbul, all on short notice! 😊 it was like having a personal Tour guide!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
