The staff had created a lovely and welcoming environment. The beds were so comfortable I was tempted to stay in my room all day! I know where to go any time I'm visiting Istanbul. Special thanks to Jay for holding events and bringing guests together every night. Thanks to Murat for taking the time to make conversation with all guests. The karaoke we did was so much fun and everyone there made me feel like home. Although I was traveling alone for the very first time to another country, I was never lonely and it was thanks to the people working there. I will miss everyone there. Can't thank you enough.

It used to be a great place to stay when I visited Istanbul 3 years ago. I did not get the same vibes/ energy as it used to be. It is still a relatively good place to stay with a great location to meet all your basic needs that close to all main attractions in Sultanahmet.

Please replace all your pillows and mattresses. The pillows are very lumpy, and we could feel all the springs in those mattresses as well.

✨It was my first and the best trevel because of only this hotel (cheers lighthous). 😊If I say the truth i will come back to Istanbul and I will choose only this hotel because of my dear friends Mehmet and Nargiz. 👥They could make fascineting times with other travelers. And we made a friendly releationship with them so t believe that we can not forget about our time which we spent in this hotel. If you choose this one only you can find not only 🛏️comfort but also new 👥👥👥friends who are from different countyries 🇩🇿🇯🇵🇰🇿🇹🇷🇺🇿🇨🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇬🇧🇷🇮🇹🇷🇺. Thank you everyone who I saw in our hotel and my spetial thaks for my dear frien Mehmet. Sağ ol. Sen en iyi çalışkansın. 🤝

Wow, what an incredible hostel experience! Cheers Lighthouse truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. The location is fantastic, with easy access to everything I wanted to see and do. The facilities are top-notch – clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. But what really made my stay exceptional were the amazing staff, especially Berkant and Melek. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. Berkant's recommendations for local spots were spot on, and he always had a friendly chat and helpful advice. Melek's energy was infectious, and she organized some awesome Games that made it easy to meet other travelers. Their genuine warmth and dedication to creating a great atmosphere made all the difference. Thanks to Berkant and Melek, and the entire team at Cheers Lighthouse, my trip was unforgettable. I can't recommend this hostel highly enough! If you're looking for a fun, friendly, and unforgettable stay, Cheers Lighthouse is the place to be!

The location is great, many sightseeings and restaurants are within walking distance. We booked a room with sea view, it was amazing. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Even though we arrived very late, Mehmet was happy to give us information about sightseeings and activities and offered drinks at the bar. Berkant was also very very nice, he was there for us during the whole weekend. Many thanks for all of you guys (including the girl and boy, I don't know their names, sorry), our stay wouldn't have been so good without you 😊

I was first welcomed by a man but I forgot to ask for his name. He might be in his 50s/60s and speaks little English and his hospitality was outstanding. I arrived early in the morning and he offered me coffee, water and a sandwich, some music, put my phone to charge and showed me around. This is the first time this has happened to me and I will definitely be back in Istanbul and stay at the same hostel. I did not spend much time there but enjoyed the beautiful view from the terase and the fact that our room had a separate bathroom, it helps when you arrive late or have to wake up early..

The light in our room stopped working but as I mentioned I just slept and showered at the hostel and everything was good enough for me especially for the price

I had an amazing experience during my stay at this hostel. Thanks to Yuna, Feyza, Linda and Atilla for theirs ncredibly welcoming and they were always ready to assist with any queries or requests. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering a great balance between affordability and comfort. The location was also a huge plus—close to key attractions and public transport, making it easy to explore the area. The hostel had a warm and friendly vibe, making it easy to meet other travelers. The common areas were inviting and perfect for both socializing and relaxing.

We love the room, the location is perfect. The staff is very nice and very helpfull. Is easy to walk to the hagia sofia, blue mosque and the pallace. We can park our car in front of the hotel. Hotel location near the main road so it is easy to go by car to another place. I will book this hotel again, InshaAllah, if we come back to Istanbul.

Breakfast is very simple. Our room is on the roof on 3th floor and there is no lift. We need to carry the luggage by the stair. We need to pay the hotel with cash. 10% tax is applied when you take the cash from ATM.

People in the room. Location. Bed was comfortable. The hostel is beautiful, good architecture and feeling.

Cash payment meant I did not eat there. Breakfast - set plate, I did not like a lot of what was on there, so left feeling very hungry. Music so loud, staff stated it was a bar. However, it was just two of us in there trying to talk. I feel the staff want to have a "party hostel" , but the ambience of the hostel means it just does not fit, it's more of a reading and board game hostel.

1000 out of 10. The hostel is really good placed, easy to reach and close to the main attractions of that area. You can walk from there to Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazar, to the beach area and so many other places. Breakfast is the authentic Turkish one therefore there’s no risk of starvation 🤣 You can also order lunch and dinner there which is gonna be definitely worth it. The owner and the stuff are just really kind and available. We had a lovely time together chatting and laughing. The terrace has a nice view and there you’ll be able to get to know the rest of the guests. If you’re a solo female traveler as I am, then you won’t ever feel bored or alone. I had the most amazing experience and it was totally unexpected. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve been to. Can’t wait to be back.
