As a Turkish person, I’d like to share some thoughts about the hostel’s location that might be useful for foreign travelers. The hostel is in the Sirkeci area, which is basically Old Istanbul. It’s a historic neighborhood with Ottoman-era mosques and traditional hammams, and it’s also close to the tram line, making it convenient for sightseeing. This area mostly attracts tourists; locals rarely come here unless they live nearby or work in the area. You’ll mainly see tourists, people from other cities in Turkey, or employees working in the neighborhood. Because it’s a tourist-heavy area, prices tend to be higher, including food, drinks, and bars. The quality of people you encounter can also be a bit lower in terms of social interactions. If your goal is to see historic sites, staying here makes sense. However, if you prefer safer areas with more of a young, lively atmosphere, I’d recommend: Anadolu side: Kadıköy or Bağdat Avenue Europe side: Taksim, especially the Asmalımescit area Additionally, you can take day trips to the Princes’ Islands.

The girl that works there with the blonde hair usually wearing some bright lipstick said something really offensive to one of her colleges about me which I’ve found extremely upsetting and has caused me to be depressed. She also weirdly decided to message me on Instagram asking to me give her 5 star review otherwise she is getting sacked? I found her to be extremely unprofessional and made me feel so I uncomfortable. Definitely won’t be returning here as a solo traveler you want to go somewhere you will feel welcome: ps I didn’t stay at the hostel just went there for drinks during evening hoping to meet new friends.

I like the personel. People are very nice and helpful. Internet has great speed. First, the hygiene level is 0 : the rooms were cleaned solely and only upon request and it was poorly executed. During our ten days stay, only 4 time it was cleaned. The sheets were ripped and not all that clean. Second, they claimed the room was an upgrade they offered us : while we had -1 level room. The curtains were see-through. I asked for a change they said they will change our room, which they never did. The sheets were for single beds while we had a double bed. Third, the room it self was, dark. Very dark. The shower handle was broken and unusable. The lights were so dim it hurt my eyes. The problem was most in the restroom. I had to use my phone torch to use the toilet or to chrck myself in the mirror. And last but not least, the food in the morning was the same every day. I don't know why but everything is very very low quality : instant coffee, instant milk, one orange and one apple thinly sliced... Only the eggs made it work. Cheese was very salty, and the juice is very bad.

Очень красивое размещение в историческом центре. Красивые виды, из окна и на другие дома и на мраморное море. Просто прекрасно! Как понял, много кто живет достаточно долго в отеле и все очень любят общаться и очень дружелюбная атмосфера. Я к сожалению очень плохо понимаю английский язык, но меня это не напрягло. Персонал и через переводчик со мной общался и решали быстро проблемы, если они возникали. Чувствовал себя, как-будто приехал к семье, но совершенно в другую страну. Отдельная благодарность для Ege, очень дружелюбный сотрудник, понимали друг друга с жестикуляцией и мимикой. Буквально не нужно было знать язык). Как молодой человек, мы быстро нашли общий язык, он оперативно пользовался переводчиком и проблем вообще не было. Еще раз огромное спасибо! Для меня эта поездка была лучшая часть отдыха, хотелось даже остаться на подольше. С удовольствием начал изучать английский как приехал и хотел бы вернуться и больше общаться в этом отели. Бывают сотрудники, которые западают в душу, такими стали женщина, которая занималась завтраками и тоже помогала мне с возникающими проблемами, к сожалению не запомнил как ее зовут и Еge просто замечательный и положительный сотрудник. Из-за них любые неполадки воспринимались со смехом и позитивом. Спасибо вам! Хорошей и долгой работы! Обязательно приеду еще раз

Nothing good in this place , it’s overrated and it’s not like in the application Unfortunately, my experience at this hostel was very disappointing. First, the location is far from the city center. It is only close to Sultanahmet and Topkapi Palace, but the actual city center (Taksim) is far away. The nearest metro or tram station is about a 25-minute walk, and the walk itself is very tiring because the streets are steep and hilly. Second, the hostel staff’s attitude was extremely bad, except for Andre, who was the only helpful and respectful person. There was no proper cleaning of the beds, and several personal items went missing from my room, including my transportation card and the transparent leather cover of my travel bag. When I asked the staff about these missing items, they replied in a very rude and careless manner. In addition, my bed was an upper bunk, and the ladder was broken. I had to jump down every day just to get off the bed, which was unsafe and uncomfortable. When I asked to be moved to a lower bed, they said there was no availability, even though there was clearly an empty lower bed in the same room. Moreover, when I arrived, I paid by card and the amount was charged twice. The staff claimed that no payment had gone through, even though I received bank messages confirming that the money was deducted twice. They denied this completely despite me showing them the messages, and I was forced to pay in cash. Finally, the prices of food and drinks at the hostel are extremely expensive, especially considering that this is a hostel. Overall, due to poor management, unsafe conditions, bad service, and unprofessional behavior, I would not recommend staying at this hostel.

The staff make this place, all of them were super friendly and helpful, welcomed everyone who stayed there and tried to make them part of the family. They arrange events most nights and will give good suggestions on places to explore and eat. Included breakfast is pretty good, not every hostel offers that so it's a decent bonus to save some money. There's also a bar where you can hang out and meet people in the evening. Location is great, right behind the Blue Mosque. The private bedrooms need updating and renovating. A few little things could improve them a lot. For example, simply having a couple of places to at least hang a towel in them, a hook on the door or something? As it was I had to leave the towel in the bedroom which is kind of annoying, the only place to hang it was the opposite side of the room to the bathroom! Also, the bulb in my room had a tendency to flicker which was annoying, and the bedside light didn't work.

L'emplacement, les lieux, belle maison, café restaurant, la patronne sympathique. Je ne voulais pas en parler mais comme cette question revient sans cesse (je suis toujours en voyage) voilà: après trois jours je vois que j'aurai besoin de deux nuits de plus, je demande au jeune gérant si je peux prolonger, il regarde rapidement son registre et me dit sorry, c'est complet; or mon dortoir était à moitié vide; je n'avais eu aucun problème jusque là, discutant tranquillement avec la patronne et certains clients, mais je n'ai pas insisté, trouvant sans peine une chambre dans un autre hôtel proche. Peut-être ce jeune gérant avait-il une interprétation radicale du terme "auberge de jeunesse"?, j'ai les cheveux blancs, mais j'ai trouvé cela bizarre.

Just only one good thing its close to landmark ​I have stayed in hostels across three different countries and usually prefer them for my travels, but my experience at Cheers Lighthouse Hostel was by far the worst. I feel like my money was completely wasted. ​The staff's attitude and way of speaking were very unprofessional and rude. To make matters worse, the basic amenities were non-existent. There was no soap, no shampoo, no towels, and even the essentials like tissues and toilet paper were missing. ​A hostel should at least provide a respectful environment and basic hygiene supplies. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable or welcoming stay in Istanbul. 👎

Une honte absolue rien. Photos mensongères, chambre dans un autre bâtiment, au sous-sol, pièces humides et odeur désagréable. Moisissure sur le matelas, moisissure sur le plafond de la salle de bain. Traces et poussière. Une catastrophe à tous les points. J’ai été voir le réceptionniste en indiquant que je voulais changer de chambre ou que je souhaitais une solution. J’ai demandé le remboursement sans frais, chose qu’il a décliné. Nous avons quittés l’hôtel sans y dormir. Sa solution était de nous facturer 25€ par nuit en plus pour changer de chambre. A fuir absolument.

A acomodação é receptiva e atenciosa, em especial o Ege, que sempre nos ajudou e nos orientou da melhor forma sobre como poderíamos fazer as coisas. As acomodações são confortáveis, o ambiente é familiar e ainda há um pub nas instalações, com música e vídeos, onde à noite as pessoas se reúnem, fazem amizade e aproveitam o momento. Os anfitriões são muito atenciosos e demonstram preocupação com o bem-estar dos hóspedes. Nada que tenha a reclamar

If you are traveling solo, this place is an amazing choice for the price! All the main historical attractions are just a short walk away. In the evenings, Elif organizes fun themed parties that create a great atmosphere. I had such a wonderful time meeting people from all over the world!
