    I enjoyed my time here. Private room was nice with 3 beds. The kitchen was a nice touch with the free coffee. The reception service was good and the social area was next to the street which provided a good ambience. The location is great and there are some nice coffee spots nearby with a arty/hipster vibe. I met some great people here, which for me is the most valuable thing.

    The place is clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is my first stay at a hostel, so I don't have something to judge based on, but compared to my expectations, this place is a good fit for a hostel. There are lockable storage compartments under the beds. There is a shared bathroom with hot water. All the basics are available. Laundry service is available upon request.

    I really liked this hostel! If you’re looking for something simple, without needing as many social spaces, it’s perfect for you. It is only 11 euros if you book at the hostel/directly and the female dorm was very clean and quiet. The bathroom was always available and spotless with reliable hot water. It’s across from two grocery stores that are open late and near great food and shops.

    Perfect location Clean rooms Nice staff Though there are some noticeable drawbacks It was really cold at night The street is rather noisy because of all the obnoxiously loud traffic Due to the configuration of the water heating system, the flow of hot water always fluctuates, and it's impossible to have a shower, it's either cold water or boiling water Blankets don't breathe so it's hard to sleep at night as you just sweat under them Keep in mind that doors are super thin and you hear absolutely everything happening in the hostel So overall I'd say given the location and the overall vibe of the place it's a pleasant stay for young people at affordable price, yet it's not a perfect match, as this place does need certain improvements

    I don't understand why this reviews have this place so overrated. If you're traveling by your own be aware you'll only interact with your roommates because there's no common spaces, just a building with rooms and baths. Also be aware that rooms have this annoying code lock system which rings every time anyone is getting in so forget to have a pleasant night if you're unlucky enough and get annoying mates. Besides that, cleanliness and staff were Ok.

    Very comfortable beds and a very lovely staff. Great location by the light rail and lots of cool cafes and vintage stores. A couple tenets refused to stop smoking in the bathroom which was annoying and the shower did not drain properly but those were minor inconveniences. Overall, a great value and I would stay again

    I never stayed in a place with this much noise. People constantly smashed doors also persons that didn’t stay in the hostel came in to use the bathroom. Couldn’t sleep for 2 nights because of the noise. Floor was with hair when we checked in. The only thing that was ok is the location.

    I booked two nights at Cheers hostel and left after my first night. It was the worst hostel I've ever been to -- I'm shocked anyone has anything positive to say about it. The staff was apathetic, the facilities were filthy, and even basic things (sink, toilets, towel racks) were broken. When explaining this to the staff as why I was leaving early, they agreed to refund my second night on the condition that I not write them a bad review. They made no indication that they would actually take some pride in their business and actually fix the problems. Four months after my stay, Cheers has made a charge against my credit card for some unknown reason. (The night I stayed was paid in cash.) I've filed a fraud report with my credit card company, but other travels should be warned and avoid this place at all costs. This is a dishonest business.

    210 TL for a bunk bed. Hippie, noisy Backpackers Hostel with really cool and super friendly staff. THE GOOD - Clean - Backpackers feeling - Low price - Stable internet - Friendly staff - Warm in the winter (regardless the leaky windows) - Nice wooden floor - Recently renovated - The people in the dorm was quiet and respectful - I managed to do yoga in the dorm - Drinking water tap in the kitchen THE BAD - Extremely Noisy, both from the street and from the Staircase. Day and night. - The power button of my socket was under the bed below me - Not much space for your belongings - No breakfast - Cat in the dorms - The staf smokes in the dorms toilet and in the kitchen - The toilet lid does not keep open - On bunk beds you can easily lose stuff, things fall down all the time -Fitted sheets not fastened - Items fall easily down from the beds - The blankets don't breath - No soft lights in the dorm, only one bright light - No laundry - No darkening curtains. - Wrong information on google maps (restaurant, breakfast, landury service) BOTTOM LINE Clean, and well decorated. The staff is really friendly and nice, the location is also great. But I would not go back. I could not sleep even with earplugs. It was extremely annoying that the guest below me had the power switch of my socket next to him, he was constantly (accidentally) turning off my power. Many amenities listed here are wrong.

    Abdul and Ali were both great hosts and really made the place feel like home. They made sure to answer any questions I had about Istanbul and also helped me with getting a PCR test before going back home to the U.S. I really liked the midtown location as well since Taksim Square was only a 15min walk away and about five minutes to walk to the tram which made it easy to get to most spots in the city. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in Istanbul!

    Left after one night - if you're a couple we wouldn't recommend. The door for our private room had been broken into previously and wasn't secure. The hostel and street were extremely loud (Monday night) and at 5.30am we had to ask one of the hostel staff to stop talking right outside our room. Stay away!

    Draws a great clientele. The lads who ran the place were great blokes. Was not a quite night sleep, walls are could be made of paper - still unsure. Make sure you have some ear plugs.

  • 5/5 James M. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    This hostel is an absolute must if you’re looking for a social yet not full on party hostel in Istanbul. Ali the owner is incredible, as are the other staff. They’re always up for a chat and have great recommendations for the city. They also join along for some of the hostel nights (at a different location) and are just great fun! The beds and rooms are comfortable, probably some of the best we’ve stayed in. The kitchen and chill area is a massive bonus too. Can’t recommend Cheers Midtown (or Downtown here on Google) any more!

    this hostel. Very clean rooms and security is top notch. It is located in the middle of many tourist areas. fifteen minutes to each area. The employees are friendly and will always help you. to come to the hotel. There are no hilly roads. galataport avmye ferry lines and tram line and It is a 5-minute walk from Istiklal street. By staying at this hotel, you can have a comfortable holiday without traffic problems during your touristic trips. It is both safe and economical and has very affordable prices

    There are bedbugs. We found out late at night so we wanted to go somewhere else, but the staff did nothing to help us. They seemed to know there were bedbugs but let us stay there nonetheless.

    Almost perfect except for hot water for a shower issue. The staff were helpful and kind. Many guests come from everywhere. The location is nicer than Sultan Amet Area for moneys worth. Security seems the best here.

  • 5/5 Basel A. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love it, amazing staff, good service and 4 minutes walk to the nearest tram station. Cleanliness is superb would give it 9/10 and it's so simple and the fact that the common area is small and at the entrance on the street means you're guaranteed to meet new people

  • 5/5 Flavio K. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best hostel you can find in Istanbul. Ali and Abdul are the best hosts They helped meso much with everything, booking flights with their cards considering that mine wasn’t working to giving me always tips of what to visit and how to get there. I stayed there for 5 days while I was staying in Istanbul and when I’m going back there this is the place I’ll stay. It’s more than a Hostel it’s a family, a comfortable house with everything you will need. Clean , super sicure and amazing ❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Enzo Montesino V. 2 years ago on Google
    excelent location close to sishane metro station and tram1, besides the staff are always concerned to help you if you need something, they also guide you what is possible to do in the city. Also there is a kitchen.

  • 5/5 Loïc H. 1 year ago on Google
    I spent a lovely time in this hostel. The location is cool and i received many advices and ideas of places to go to make the best time i possibly could in Istanbul. Je vous remercie profondément, i ll never forget the Istanbul experience and the people owning this hostel are a big part of it. Bless you all ! ❤️

  • 5/5 Nishat 1 year ago on Google
    We opted for a private room with attached bathroom in this hostel. There was plenty of space in the room, and it was very clean. The bathroom was quite large. From our window, we had a great view of the street. Tophane tram station is located only 5 minutes from the hostel, which makes it a convenient location if you plan on using public transportation to commute in Istanbul. A mere 10 minute walk will take you to Istiklal street as well. The neighbourhood was neither too loud or nor too quiet. A supermarket is located just outside the hostel. The street has many cafes as well. The hotel offers luggage storage for those who wish to check out early and keep their luggage for a few hours. If you are a cat lover, you will enjoy the cats at the reception. A big thank you to the staff for providing us with excellent service. Overall, this hotel was well worth the money and would highly recommend it. Cons: Taking the stairs to the third floor can be a bit tiring. From Tophane station, you have to walk up a steep street to the hostel, so it can be challenging.

    Stayed in a private room with my friend, Mr. Bisness, and it was great. The staff was super friendly and will help with any problems you have. (The attached photo is with one of the staff!)

  • 4/5 N van B. 1 year ago on Google
    It rarely occurs that I am overwhelmed by service. But Ali of Cheers Midtown hostel in Beyoglu Istanbul makes an exception. The staff here goes above and beyond in giving tips, how to get there's and where to eats... it is amazing. The rooms: good clean and comfortable mattrasses. Location: supermarket opposite, an amazing local homecooked food eatery in just 2 min walk. Tramstop in 4 min stroll...  This place has it all. Keep it up and...cheers! Tessekuler! ☆☆☆☆

    Had an awesome experience at this hostel. Amazing value for money, great location for everything. The main people that run it , Ali and Hackan are super friendly and extremely helpful and excellent on what's best to do in the city and money saving ideas, try their local Turkish hammam bath it's amazing!! Will return one day, soon hopefully.

  • 4/5 SandraV. M. 5 years ago on Google
    Got a little early but they kept my bag meanwhile, nice people, rooms with good distribution, clean bathrooms, near public transportation and at a walk distance to stores and İstiklal st. Beware of heavy baggage as rooms may be up high and the stairs aren't quite spacious

  • 4/5 Carolyn G. 5 years ago on Google
    overall great spot! 24h reception, they let me check in early so I could shower after an overnight train which is always a huuuuge plus. also, they upgraded me to a 4 bed female from a 6 bed mixed dorm for free because the 6 bed dorm had 5 other guys in it. awesome free breakfast and they give you tea for free all day! only complaints - showers were very in and out warm and cold, and some of the guests near my room were super loud at night, the walls are definitely a bit thin. it wasn’t a huge deal but im not sure if this is a party hostel during the busier season this was my third hostel in istanbul and my favorite. also the area is perfect, it’s charming and feels like an awesome place where people actually live but is close to train and very quick to blue mosque, ayasofia, etc. There are some higher rated hostels in the sultanahmet area (very touristy, food not as good, things more expensive) but i’d stay here any day over that oh one more thing to note is the beds were comfortable here and very uncomfortable in the other two hostels (blue apple and neverland) i stayed at over two visits to istanbul

  • 5/5 G i. 5 years ago on Google
    Fairly central (six stops to Hagia Sophia by tram) and yet reasonable in price. Well maintained and the free all day coffee & tea is great at the end of a tiring day out walking. Alican (pronounced Ali jaan), the host, is very helpful in all respects and plays some very interesting music, especially in the morning.

  • 4/5 Razi S. 5 years ago on Google

    The only good thing about this place is the location and how nice the staff are. The rest of it is terrible and has some serious problems. It's not even close to a 3-star hotel as advertised on Google maps.

    (Translated by Google) Not good at all (Original) Hiç iyi değil

  • 4/5 Julia R. 4 years ago on Google
    Most friendly staff ever! I asked very spontaniously if there's a possibility to get a bed in the dorm where seven friends of mine also stayed. Despite very complicated circumstances the staff tried its best to help me staying with my friends. At no point they were unfriendly, instead they were very understanding and uncomplicated with everything. Special thanks to Hakan! Breakfast was good, my dorm was clean and the location is great! There's only one thing you need to be aware of: there's only one bathroom on each floor, so that the dorms share one toilet, one sink and one shower. This can be very unconvenient but wasn't a big problem for the time I was there.

    They guys running this hostel are amazing people. They were extraordinarily helpful. They helped us with car parking, showed us some cool places and are very animal friendly. In general if you are looking for a chat or a cool story, these guys are right here for you. We had a private room, it was pretty big, the bath was new, the windows were also pretty new so you almost do not hear the noise from outside. The price was very fair.

  • 5/5 a a. 3 years ago on Google
    A wonderful hostel in a great spot, a couple of minute walk to galata Tower, nice restaurants and the Bosphorus. Next to the hostel there is a really good çigköfte restaurant for a really good price. I would spend my time again here when I'm back in Istanbul

    Overall great hostel, I'd stay again. Perks: Desk workers are very friendly, you can have free coffee/tea whenever, the provided breakfast is outstanding! Location is also very ideal. Cons: The shared bathroom are nice, but really needed to be cleaned. The mattress I had creaked very loudly when I shifted in bed. Felt like I was keeping the who room awake by rolling over.

    We totally recommend! This hostel is very nice located, near metro station and close to local shop and restaurant. Ali and the other guys are so nice, they gave very nice recommendation about restaurant, bar and what to see in Istanbul. We liked spend time with them at night. Private rooms have all the minimum you need for your trip. Sympathies is the best word to resume this hostel!
