    If I had to find a negative side, the kitchen is a bit small if you're planning a long stay. Other than this, everything was perfect.

    The room was simple but more than enough for our stay. The common room of the hostel is cozy and always full of people to chat with. Staff is exceptional and welcomed us as friends before than costumers. The area is also very well served with shops and cafes and everything one might need.

    Housekeeping needs to be better. Kitchen needs improving.

    The staff were friendly. Good room. Bathroom was okay, more housekeeping was needed. Keypad security. Lockers under bed and beds were comfortable. Kitchen was basic, barely functioning. Great location. Very youth focused, better if you are under 30.

    Reception is not 24 hours as stated during booking and there is more than one Cheers hostel which was not readily apparent during the booking process. This is more than likely the fault on booking.com than the hostel itself. I do also think the hostel should post prices for activities in advance of participating in them as it is typically for backpackers on a budget.

    The staff was so friendly and welcoming as well as super chill and relaxed. Good location with lots of restaurants and shops close by and very close to public transportation.

    The bunk beds need a bit of privacy. That can easily be improved to make this a perfect hostel

    Helpful and friendly staff. One of the people staying in my room was disrespectful and rude and a member of staff was there to help. They immediately changed my room.

    Nothing specific except noisy AC. Other comments are more as suggestions: Need to add hat rack/hanger and dimmer lamp or curtains for each bed to make it more comfortable due to lack of balcony and to reduce disturbing other people with bright light. It would be better if common space (seating area) is always accessible but it might affect the silence.

    The hostel is in a great location- close to everything and far from noise, the hostel itself is quite. The staff is very approachable and helpful. The size of the room (six-bed) and the bathrooms were good, as well as the conditions (but it also depends on the guests). In the end, very good value for price, so it was a good choice- why not repeat :)

    Internet connection was poor. Please do smth with it :D

    Hey guys thank you for this place! The hostel is comfortable, clean and location is great - just 5 mins apart from Taksim street. Right opposite to the hostel you can find budget grocery store and various small cafes - Borek, Ciy Kofte (must try both of them). The hosts are welcoming and helpful. Safety is on point - you'll get a small lock for the storage. The hostel experience got to the new level for me - I've met one person and she became my best friend! That's actually unexpected but amazing. Also, public transport is really close - just go down the street and you'll find tram station. Best of luck with your future travels!

    There was only one toilet and shower room on the floor for everyone, but at the time there weren't many people, so there were no queues.

    Good location within walking distance of many attractions and public transport stops. There are cafés and shops nearby. Comfortable bed, has its own outlet and locker with a lock. Has its own kitchen, but I didn't use it. There are nice guys working there.

    Very helpful staff, uncomplicated handling of things. The rooms were clean and there was enough space. The kitchen was well equipped and clean as well.

    Only 1 bathroom per floor. We're talking 3 different rooms, mine was an 8-man dorm, all sharing 1 bathroom. Not the end of the world but there were a few times when it was occupied at the wrong time. But I could've just used a differnt bathroom on a different floor.

    Easy to find (thank God). The location was perfect. One of the staff members Kask was cool and gave me some recommendations on where the locals would get a falafel. The rest of the staff just kept to themselves. And each bunk came with a locker and THEY SUPPLIED THE LOCK. Awesome.

    It is kind of confusing that both Midtown and Downtown are used when you search for this location.

    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!

    Tne room isn't soundproof and if somebody else is in the dorm showers (nextdoor) and you shower at the same time, water temperature is crazy hot or very cold and the water pressure too, ranges from very good to a trickle

    Our only issue was heating upon arrival which was promptly dealt with in a very professional way. Also, the staff are all super-friendly.

    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.

    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. On arrival, we were helped with our luggage since the hostel had no lift and our room was on the third floor. We had a problem with our ATM card on the day of check-in, preventing us from making the payment; they were gracious and allowed us to make the payment the next day. The door of our bathroom got locked from inside at midnight and we panicked as we had to check out the next morning and a lot of our belongings were in there. They responded immediately to our call and resolved the issue. Overall, this hotel was well worth the money and would highly recommend it.
