Guest Reviews
- Marioly (8/5): - La recepción y esas instalaciones del hostal El tamaño de la habitación
- Julia (8/5): - Guys at the reception are adorable, Ege, Nihad and Attila will really make your stay unforgettable ! The location of the hostel is ideal, you're only a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosquee, the Topkapi Palace and Ayasofia, the view on the Marmara sea is refreshing in the morning while sipping your tea on the balcony, and there's always a fun game or interesting animation in the evening. I highly recommend the place, and would come back with great pleasure, thanks for everything !

- Austin (5/5): - The location
- Jakhongir (10/5): I stayed in this hostel for two days with my friend. We booked a dorm room with the view to the sea. The staff is very k - Location, view to the sea and hospitable staff I liked everything here
- Siri (9/5): -
- Otabek (10/5): Exciting and nostalgic in advance - The staff. They were amazing. Shoutout to Nihad and Ege, great lads, very friendly and supportive. They provide you free guidance on basically everything during your stay. Super helpful if you're trying not get scammed in Istanbul. The nightly events. They organize an event every night at the restaurant of the hotel. Bar hopping, beer pong, family dinner. The atmosphere is amazing. If you're traveling solo and want to meet new people, you can't find a better place in Sultanahmet area.
- marcos (1/5): Mala experiencia - Solo la ubicacion El comedor no da abasto para todos los pasajeros, en la noche es un restobar, lo que no permite ir a disfrutar de algo teanquilo,habia tv pero no señal,no lo solucionaron incluso nos entregaron un cobtrol remoto con pilas malas, el primer dia no nos hicieron aseo y el segundo dia no limpiaron el baño, pagamos 4 dias y solo nos quedamos dos, solicitamos el reembolso y nos negaron ibdicando que lo debiamos solicitar a booking..
- Yahya (6/5): -
- Yahya (6/5): It was good - View of the place and breakfast The location is close, but you will have to climb uphill, so it will be tiring. The floor creaks when you walk on it, and the bathroom is not clean enough.
- Siri (10/5): - I liked how they organised the night club parties and dinner. It was lots of fun to meet strangers and had an amazing experience.
- Taha (8/5): -
- Dasumarlin Majaw (10/5): - Loved the atmosphere and the people here. The hosts are really nice and i felt really safe which is very important.
- Sadek (10/5): - The staff was so friendly there was an amazing vibe all the day morning evening or the night the bar was 24 hours open we enjoyed a lot and especially we have known many friends from many countries
- Arjun Sagar (5/5): - Location is so good to reach almost every sightseeing places Room not cleaned well. Especially toilet and fridge.
- RAMOS SANTANA (8/5): - The location, the view, the crew working there and also the events they have where really amazing The short options in the breakfast
- Semih (4/5): Staff is 10/10 but the hotel and the rooms are not good - Dirty Rooms Too loud. The entrance door is crazy loud you can’t sleep there
- Айганым (10/5): -
- Marine (10/5): - Cet hostel est idéalement situé à proximité des transports et surtout à moins de 10 minutes à pied de la mosquée bleue, de Sainte-Sophie et du palais de Topkapi. L’équipe est très aimable et disponible. Je recommande vivement ce logement pour un séjour à Istanbul !
- Valerii (6/5): - Хорошее расположение отеля Все проблемы оперативно решал персонал Соотношение цена-качество: 10/10 Кровать была не размера King size Были проблемы с wifi Проблемы с раковиной Часто включалась сигнализация
- Ivan gabriela (9/5): -
- fifi46800 (5/5): Hébergement à petit prix bien situé, mais propreté à revoir ... - Très bien situé, personnel accueillant et sympathique, bon petit déjeuner Propreté de la salle de bain à revoir ... Les sols étaient vraiment sales, j'ai demandé à une personne de le nettoyer au vu de la poussière, crasse et cheveux qui s'étaient accumulés.
- Zeliha (1/5): Een ramp - Enkel de locatie was goed Hygiëne was super slecht, we hebben 3 dagen na elkaar gevraagd dat ze de kamer moesten schoonmaken maar altijd een reden om het niet te doen. Daarnaast was communicatie ook heel slecht…
- Angelina (10/5): - Great hostel with a nice atmosphere. Special thanks to Ege at the reception for the warm welcome and all the help. I will definitely come back again!💗
- Philippe Di Spigno (7/5): Très moyen - L'emplacement, le petit déjeuner. Très bruyant, vieillissant, on nous promet une place de parking inexistante, la salle de bain mériterait quelques travaux.
- Ismam Ahmed (10/5): -
- Айганым (10/5): - It’s safe and funny place
- Andrea del pilar (9/5): - La.ubicación perfecta , la atención del personal genial , hemos pasadp un sabado compartiendo uan niche de cena y karaoke en el hotel y tatiana ha sido muy divertida y amable nos ha acogido super bien, el desayuno muy bien .
- Jale (5/5): -
- Abdul (3/5): Bad experience - Nothing at all! I had a very disappointing experience with this property. I selected the “pay at the property” option while booking, but the hotel still charged my card a few days before arrival, which was already concerning. The biggest issue happened when I arrived around 11 PM with my family. The hotel informed us that they were fully booked and could not provide the room we had already reserved and paid for. Instead, they shifted us to another hotel, claiming it was similar. While the alternative hotel itself was decent, it was located about 1 km away from the original property in a much less convenient area, far from the main location we had specifically chosen. This completely defeated the purpose of our booking. Given the late hour and the fact that I was traveling with family, we had no choice but to accept the situation. The staff showed little effort to properly resolve the issue and simply said nothing could be done. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this property due to poor management and lack of reliability in honoring bookings.
- Richard (7/5): C’était un bon séjour dans la globalité. - L’hostel est très bien placé avec vu sur le Bosphore. Le petit déjeuner compris est excellent. Et le personnel très accueillant. Hygiène à revoir. Pas de possibilité de stocker de la nourriture froide ni de cuisiner.
- Hassan (5/5): -
- Riju (10/5): -
- Hasham (10/5): - I’ve stayed at a lot of places, but Cheers Lighthouse Hostel really stands out! The rooms are excellent and the washrooms are kept impressively clean. The social vibe here is fantastic; it’s so easy to meet people, especially during their fun night activities. One of the absolute highlights is the terrace/balcony—the view is incredible and it's the perfect spot to hang out. The staff are beyond accommodating and really make you feel welcome. A special thanks to Ege, Nihat, and Tatiana! They were all so friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had a great experience. I’ll definitely be staying here again!
- Oakes (10/5): Staff especially Tatiana so nice! - So so good, staff super friendly and really helpful, let us store bags as long as we needed and were really useful giving us tips/helping us with transport! Tatiana especially was lovely and made sure we were having fun!
- Sohail (6/5): over all good but should accommodate maximum 4 person n a room - location comfort
- Abdullah Al (6/5): -
- Caballero Gonzalez (10/5): - Muy atentos
- Tugay (1/5): Unzumutbar dort zu schlafen - Ich musste das Hotel schon am ersten Tag verlassen und mir ein neues Hotel suchen weil es unzumutbar war dort zu schlafen. Man hat mir den Check In verweigert und mir gesagt ich solle 6 Stunden warten und noch darauf war es das dreckigste Hotel Zimmer was ich je gesehen habe. Aufjedenfall nicht empfehlenswert!
- Zejneb (1/5): - Overall, this stay was disappointing considering the price of over €780. While the staff were friendly, the location was convenient, and the sea view was beautiful, the hotel did not meet expectations. The biggest issue was the noise. The windows were poorly insulated, and the walls were extremely thin — we could hear everything, from outside traffic and the tram to conversations, doors, and even bathroom noises from neighboring rooms. There were also loud events in the hotel almost every evening, often until after midnight. The rooms were in poor condition, outdated, and not clean. We stayed for a week, and during the last three days, the room was not cleaned at all. Housekeeping did not come, and we were not provided with fresh towels, which was very disappointing. The bathroom was very small, the TV and Wi-Fi did not work properly, and the sauna was not functioning as expected. Breakfast was basic but okay, although the breakfast area was very small. Overall, not worth the price, and I would not recommend staying here unless improvements are made.
- Mrcn (10/5): -
- Vladimir (9/5): Great atmospheric place! - I was here 4 years ago and came again) Very welcoming and helpful staff! Special gratitude to Ege for his help! So many activities in the hostel! Pity to skip the belly dance show this time)) The rooms look neat and renovated, the blanket is warm (it's important!), convenient beds. You can rent a towel. No curtains of the beds. Light and noise, a little more than in some other hostels. Needs to be prepared. Doors creaking, night ninjas landed on the floor with such noise as if they jumped from the second tier without a ladder. XD
- Mujibullah (8/5): - The price was okay in the property Especially the stuff called (Metahan) he was so friendly and helpful
- MUHAMMAD HASNUN (10/5): - Very friendly people there, both staffers and travelers
- Hasham (10/5): - everything was amazing! the breakfast the room the terrace as well as the staff. huge shootout to ege nihat and tatiana. definitely will be back!!
- Sonsoles_1983 (2/5): Serious water leaks in both family rooms on the upper floor - The family rooms in the upper floor have water leaks and they need serious improvement. The location and price are great. The guy at the reception was very nice and helpful. He gave us local tips and helped us arranging transfers from/to the airport. The breakfast buffet was great. Our family stayed one night at Cheers Lighthouse in March 2026. Our stay coincided with two days of heavy rain, and our room (a family room in the upper floor in the building next to the hostel) had serious water leaks above the bed. We were changed to the room in front our original room, but the new room also showed water leaks, this time coming under the floor panels next to the balcony. There was also water damage in the bathroom ceiling. See the photos.
- Khis Borza Andreea (1/5): Dezamăgire totala. Rusine - Nimic . Nici nu am putut sta in așa infecție. Totul de la intrare până la bucătărie și camera. Am fost nevoiți să părăsim locația imediat. Nici măcar nu au fost înțelegători sa ne de-a macar o parte din banii achitați 1800 lei. Suma imens de mare. Nici măcar 1 nu merita această locație. Țeapă mare. Fetitiva. Nimic .

- Raquel (7/5): -
- santiago (10/5): - Ege was a great company to have around. Great job!
- Vladimir (1/5): - Ничего. Отвратительный клоповник. Грязно. Шумно. Мерзко. Гадко. Персонал неприятный и постоянно пытается обмануть. Никому не рекомендую.
- Sara (10/5): 10/10 location, staff, and services - Incredible location, perfectly functional and comfortable private room, and exceptional staff/customer service. Breakfast was wonderful, check-in/out easy, and staff so accommodating. Would absolutely stay here again. The room/bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner and updated.
- Joseph (1/5): ISTANBUL très bien et je conseille car on ne s'est jamais senti mal à l'aise. - Très loin d'être frugal. Idem ts les jours œuf tomate 1 fromage pain confiture de ? La chambre attribuée était sale ne fermait pas et la lumière etait en panne... Nous avons donc changé pour un peu mieux en propreté, mais la rue devait passer dans la chambre. (sans bouchons d'oreilles pas de sommeil) . En 5 jours ils n'ont fait qu'une fois la chambre, et pas de savon et shampoing al'arrivee. Cherchez l'erreur Je déconseille fortement. Ah ! Oui pour changer de chambre il a fallut payer un supplément.
- Miren (9/5): Estancia perfecta - La ubicación ,el personal Falta mantenimiento
- Sunny (10/5): Very good place - Staff were lovely very helpful if you need anything. Good vibes Nothing
- Joaquín (8/5): - El personal muy amable, la localización muy buena, bastante confortable y limpio, especialmente la relación calidad-precio es excelente. Algunos compañeros de habitación fueron reubicados durante su estancia... ¡Hasta dos veces!
- Tatjana (4/5): - Čišćenje na 2 dana. Osoblje divno. Ege divan. Doručak- sraman. Vrata koja nemaju prigušivač, a sobe su odvojene od hotela, tako da svi lupaju i ulaze i jako loše iskustvo. Sobe nemaju kuvalo, čaše, daljinski za klimu, ofinger ili nešto što bi poslužilo za kačenje stvari.
- Laura (7/5): - The staff was amazing, super caring, and attentive. Thex help me with anything I needed and gave me recommendations. The room was clean and nice. The tea was delicious Private rooms are in a different building than the hostel itself, and they don't let you know that in advance, until when I arrived I was taken to another building 10 min away walking from the hostel, and this builing does not have any front desk so there is nobody around in case you need something like an extra blanket for everythin u need to go to the hostel
- Polina (10/5): - The view and atmosphere) -
- Muhammad (9/5): -
- amerk873 (2/5): Horrible experience- DO NOT RECOMMEND - I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience at this hotel and would strongly advise others to be cautious. I arrived late at night (around 1am on Jan 26) after a long day of travel, only to be charged more than the quoted price. The staff told me it was because I used a credit card, but this was never disclosed beforehand. Things only got worse from there. On January 26 and again on January 27, housekeeping repeatedly left my door unlocked, which is a major safety concern. The condition of the room was also unacceptable—mold on the bathroom ceiling, peeling paint, missing or damaged floorboards, and even a hole in the wall with exposed wires. On top of that, the balcony door hinges were broken, causing the door to fall backwards when opened, which felt dangerous. On January 28, I was finally moved to a different room, but the problems didn’t stop. Early in the morning on January 29 (around 4am), I was locked out of my room. After staff let me in, I then became locked inside and they had to break the doorknob to get me out. This was honestly scary and completely unacceptable. At 5am, I was moved again to another room due to the broken door. Later that same day, staff told me they were “upgrading” me by sending me back to my old room. When I asked how that was an upgrade, they said it was because they would put a working doorknob on it. This response was rude and dismissive. After pushing back, I was told to stay in my current room and discuss it the next day. On the 30th, instead of resolving anything, I was forced to move again. At that point, after multiple room changes, safety concerns, and constant disruptions, I decided to check out and book another hotel. The staff throughout this experience were rude and unhelpful. I contacted the owner directly to address these concerns, but he never responded. I was also refused an invoice/receipt at the property and told to contact a main office via email. I never received a response, and they refused to provide any kind of refund. Overall, this experience was stressful, unsafe, and poorly managed. Between the condition of the rooms, lack of transparency with pricing, repeated security issues, rude staff, and complete lack of accountability, I would not recommend staying here.
- Anastasiia (8/5): Overall nice stay - The stuff was very friendly and ready to help. The terrace on the first floor has a great view. Nice location. The stairs are pretty narrow so it’s hard to climb up and down with the luggage. The room itself is pretty noisy even if you try to be quiet (the squeaking of the floor, the doors and the closets). Not a bid deal, but it might be a bit difficult to get a good rest if you’re staying only for one night.
- Kazi (1/5): I'll never stay in this hotel - Location only No TV, no internet 1st day, staff didn't give any solution, room refrigerator not working, breakfast was not good at all.

- Кондаева (8/5): - Начну с того что отель находится в очень хорошем районе , все в пешей доступности , все достопримечательности . Что касается номеров и самого отеля Cheers Lidhthouse , отель нуждается в ремонте , фото предоставленные на сайте устарелые . Мы взяли номер на 4 человека ( хотя нас было трое ) с видом на море , вид на море есть но не настолько живописный как хотелось бы . Заселили на час позже но администратор Egemen любезно предложил нам чай или кофе на выбор пока мы ждём . Номер нам не понравился ( не было зеркала , шкафа ,тапочек ( выдали позже) , банных принадлежностей и немного обветшалогот вида самого номера. Нам любезно предложили другой отель не далеко от того который бронировали , на завтраки ходили в этот . В целом очень внимательные администраторы, терраса с видом на море где можно просто посидеть выпить кофе или покурить ( те кто курят) По субботам там проходят вечеринки , стоимость 20 € в них входит ужин , зажигательные восточные танцы один бокал спиртного на выбор ( пиво или вино ) караоке , игры и тд. А так же разоичная музыка под которую можно танцевать . В Целом пребывание прошло хорошо на все просьбы менеджер реагировал очень быстро и решал проблемы . Самым ярким впечатлением была вечеринка где познакомились с другими людьми с разных стран и разных возрастов Из минусов самого отеля - нуждается в ремонте и однообразные завтрак ( но администратор любезно предложил нам другой и приготовил специально для нас что было очень приятно )
- Ahmed (8/5): - I had a great experience at the hotel, and a big part of that was thanks to the receptionist, **Ege**. From the moment I arrived, Ege was welcoming, polite, and very professional. They handled the check-in process quickly and made sure everything was clear and comfortable for me. Ege was always ready to help with any questions I had and provided excellent customer service with a friendly attitude. It’s clear that they truly care about the guests and want everyone to have a pleasant stay. Thank you, Ege, for your kindness and professionalism. You made my stay much more enjoyable!

- joe (10/5): I really enjoyed my time at the Cheers lighthouse hostel - Everything, easy to find close to many things. Grrat staff Ege who works the front desk does a great job. Knows the area and very helpful. Plus most nights there a very FUN atmosphere here. I have stayed in many hostels around the world. If you are coming to Istanbul tou really should at least checkout Cheers lighthouse hostel. Plus the owner pretty cool. Boy can't think of anything

- Nikita (1/5): - Расположение и вид из окна К сожалению, впечатление от проживания осталось крайне негативным. В номере было грязно: полы не убраны, в туалете стоял сильный неприятный запах, из-за которого вонял весь номер. Полотенец изначально не было — принесли только после просьбы. Одноразовые средства гигиены (зубная паста, щётка, тапочки и т.д.) отсутствовали полностью. Интернет работал очень плохо. Отдельный минус — оплата только наличными. У меня была только карта, поэтому пришлось снимать деньги по невыгодному курсу с дополнительной конвертацией. Об этом заранее не предупредили. Номер нам настолько не понравился, что мы хотели вернуть деньги и переехать в другой отель, но нам отказали в возврате. В итоге мы всё равно уехали и нашли другой отель за ту же цену — и он оказался в несколько раз лучше по качеству. Не рекомендую.
- ASLAN (6/5): Bizimle ilginen Egemen beye çok teşekkür ediyoruz. O olmasaydı rezervasyonu iptal edip kaçacaktık. - Konum olarak Turistik yerler yürüme mesafesinde. 10-15 dk içerisinde ulaşabilirsiniz. Bizimle ilginen Egemen beye çok teşekkür ediyoruz. O olmasaydı rezervasyonu iptal edip kaçacaktık. Otel de asansör yok.Temizlik konusunda çok eksiklikler var.
