We were put in the building across the hotel, stairway had a light out and unsafe to go up the stairs w/the light. Room was very small, bathroom too small

Amazing host, could be better with comfy beds

The host was super friendly and very helpful but the beds could have been more comfortable.
And the washroom was quite small,
Location was perfect, very neat and clean.

Cheap and cheerful

Nice, cheap place to stay if you just want a place to crash while seeing the sights. Location can’t be beat and staff are lovely. Room is very noisy and shower a bit dirty/ run down. I had a private room but it’s a backpackers so to be fair you get what you pay for. Don’t expect much

Fantastic Service

Highly recommended for the outstanding service, wonderful sea view & great, friendly atmosphere. These pluses, combined with the perfect location & affordable price mask the minuses: It was completely dirty under the bed and we even found a sock of a previous gust, our room's window was facing directly into our room which was creepy (but we were moved to another room immediately without charge upon request), and condition of facilities is so so. Still as notes above, the pluses of this place, especially the service, allow us to warmly recommend it.

Our room was falling apart and the shower was disgusting. We were given instructions how to get there on the metro from the airport except the instructions were from the old airport which closed down years ago. The new airport doesn’t even have s train line connected. On day of departure we checked out early in morning and was told the day before they would have s breakfast parcel for us to pick up at reception because we were leaving before the breakfast was served. When we went to reception no one had prepared the breakfast parcel so we didn’t get breakfast which we had paid for in room price. Also this place is supposed to be a hostel but they don’t have a common kitchen area for cooking or any facilities to even make tea and coffee or store stuff in s refrigerator. No washing machines either. Don’t book a airport shuttle through the hostel their price is a rip off. Just book it through travel agency a few doors down the road and save a heap of euros. On a positive note the free walking tour they did was awesome and we enjoyed that.

Solid Hostel

Overall a very positive experience. The hostel bar was a blast, the rooms/bathrooms were very clean, and I received good service. My only downside is that the surrounding area is a bit too touristy without much else going on.

Great location!

My wife and I had a great experience with Cheers Lighthouse. They are in a great location, just a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Their food was delicious and well priced. The complimentary breakfast was also very good. Their staff were very friendly and helpful. Cheers Lighthouse made our first stay in Istanbul a great success!

NO NOS PUDIMOS QUEDAR EN EL HOTEL DE LO SUCIO Y HORRIBLE QUE ERA. ADEMAS LA HABITACION QUE NOS QUERIAN DAR ESTABA EN UN EDIFICIO A 8MIN CAMINANDO DE DONDE ESTABA LA RECEPCION Y EL COMEDOR DEL DESAYUNO.
EN FIN. NADA RECOMENDABLE

The hostel was super nice, I had a great time. Every evening they offer something to do. Sometimes for free like a sunday family dinner (which was awesome) or a boat party for 20€ (which was great as well). The staff were all super kind, I especially loved Melekege. She was super kind, always down to earth and just did great service.
Definitely recommend it and if I ever go back to Istanbul I would book it again.
