Cheers Lighthouse Reviews

The hostel is friendly and has super willing and attentive staff. I liked the bed, shower, location and especially the staff.

I have spent two nights in this wonderful place. The atmosphere is very warm, it allows you to interact with other travelers and share stories, and if you like going out for party, also possible!! Friendly and helpful staff. It is perfectly located close to many of the main attractions of the old town, but without being exposed to the hustle and bustle. I stayed in a shared room and I slept very well, and when I woke up I could enjoy a beautiful view of the sea from the window . The bathroom in the room and the bedding were clean. The complete, typical Turkish breakfast with cheeses, olives, fruits, bread and spreads, and of course tea! I had a great time, I recommend staying at this place!!

Really good place to be, very close to every monuments, and the staffs was so nice with us specialy Kadir ;) We Watch the champions league together Also the restaurant very nice and delicious and also kadir has a McDonald's t-shirt is very cool

It was my first experience staying in a hostel and was planning to stay for a couple of nights but ended up staying for 8 nights because of so much fun I had and they offer a lot activities some are free too! Shout out to Berry such an amazing guide.

Had a great time at Cheers lighthouse. Stayed in a private room as well as a dorm and both rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the Hostel has a good atmosphere with social events most nights, very easy to meet people. Thanks for having me!

Room and balcony were dirty. Shower broken. Bathroom stank. Staff a bit clueless. Rates exorbitant. Came away feeling fleeced and mis-sold the experience. More shabby than shabby-chic. Nice view and good location.

The staff at the hotel were attentive and polite, it was in compliance with the rules, this hotel was very clean, thank you for all the services, I will come here again, the food was great, we liked it very much.

Geçen seneki ziyaretimizde ufak tereddütlerimiz vardı bilmediğimiz için ama gittiğimiz zaman o ortam tereddütlerimizi aşmamız konusunda yardımcı oldu çok nezih titiz temiz ve güvenilir geldi bu senede geleceğiz

It was a really great time. The hostel has the perfect location if you want to explore the city. Every evening there is a program (Pup Crawl, Free Shisha evening, drinking games). There is a good bar with cheap drinks. The breakfast is also very good. Murat and Max, the hosts are very cool.

I stayed for 4 days at this hostel. Staff is co-operative but at the same time lacks professional approach. Events dont happen as planned day wise. No whatsap group for all travelers to be connected or stay in synch with any activities. 20€ each for pubcrawls everyday is little too much, specially when there is no plan and idea of which clubs you will get to see. You are forced to go clubs they have deals with and you cannot enjoy real good party places as you are bound with them. Dont take any trips from the reception as they will sell out in double the price. I was forced to pay 70€ for aweful cruise which was available for just 30€ on website. And they didnt allow me to cancel and pushed me to go for it since I enquired and wasnt allowed to cancel later. So check for the prices online before booking at the reception.

The hostel is in a perfect location to see the historic sites of Istanbul. I’ve stayed in hundred of hostels in many parts of the world and the friendliness of this place is second to none, it may not be 5 star but the rooms have great aircon, the beds are comfy and the bar is well stocked. The guys that work and own this place are very lovely . Sometimes you want to relax on your own even in a hostel atmosphere but after spending a week here I feel like I’m part of the cheers family. Everyone remembers your name , it’s a hostel so you may not get 5 star facilities but you will get 5 star service. You can organise all trips from here and the location is better than most in Istanbul for for what you want. Overall , I’d give it a 10/10 for the experience I’ve had in this place . Max on the bar and reception deserves some praise for his work here . If you’re lucky enough to stay when he’s on shift that night , I’m sure you’ll have a great time in Istanbul . Don’t hesitate to book!

The hostel is in the old town right by all the main sites to see. Everyday it comes with a great free breakfast (eggs, beef, cheese, veggies, fruit, french toast). Jay is the bar tender and event coordinator and he makes sure that as a solo traveler you get to meet everyone.

Good staff, especially Max who is very welcoming and friendly. bar view is with marmara sea is wonderful. we stayed very tidy room. thanks for everything location so close is everywhere #maxisthebest
