How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where Cheers Vintage Hostel sits
Cheers Vintage Hostel is a hostel in Sultanahmet, Istanbul, at Cankurtaran Mahallesi, Kutlugün Sokak No:18, postcode 34122. Its position is its strongest asset: Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern are each about 0.3 km away in a straight line, and Hagia Irene about 0.4 km.
Topkapı Palace is about 0.9 km away, Sirkeci railway station about 1 km, and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.8 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.1 km away; the hostel offers a paid airport shuttle for that journey.
Dorm beds and private rooms up to 35 m²
The hostel splits into two kinds of stay. Dorm beds, each a twin bed sleeping one person, come in female-only rooms of 4 beds (30 m²) and 6 beds (25 m²), and in mixed rooms of 4, 6 and 8 beds.
Private rooms suit couples and families. The Standard Double Room is 28 m² with one double bed and sleeps up to 3. The Deluxe Double Room with Sea View is 30 m², also sleeps up to 3, and adds the sea view. The largest private room is the Family Room with Sea View at 35 m², with one double bed and two twin beds, and a sea view; children are allowed, so it works for a family that wants private space rather than dorm beds.

A social hostel with a bar and evening entertainment
As a backpacker property, the hostel is built around shared living rather than private facilities. It has a bar and evening entertainment, which suits travellers looking for a social stay; anyone wanting a quiet, hotel-style evening may find the dorm-and-bar setting a poor fit.
Beyond that, the hostel has family rooms, meeting and banquet rooms, and a paid airport shuttle.
Check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 13:30 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed, so families can book the private rooms. Pets are not allowed, and the hostel has no parking of its own, which matters to anyone arriving by car.
The front desk runs 24 hours, with express check-in and check-out and contactless options for arriving late or leaving early.
Who it suits and who it does not
It suits solo travellers and backpackers who want a dorm bed within about 0.3 km of Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, with female-only dorms available for women travelling alone.
It does not suit travellers with pets, and the absence of parking makes it awkward for anyone driving. Those seeking a conventional hotel room only, with no dorm neighbours and no bar downstairs, would be better matched elsewhere; here the private rooms sit inside a working hostel.
