The 7 Best Hostels in Istanbul (Updated 2025)
"A short walk from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, I like that Cheers offers regular walking tours in English and Spanish as an easy way to see the sights and meet people; the hostel also has a terrace and bar with great city views and the cozy Cheers Café for Turkish coffee or an evening beer. The bunks are basic (wooden with no privacy curtains) but comfortable, lockers are available, female-only dorms are offered, and note that dorm guests are limited to ages 15–40." - Matthew Kepnes
