Bucoleon by Cheers
What Guests Say
All the staff were exceptionally welcoming, kind, and attentive, creating a warm and hospitable atmosphere from the moment I arrived. Their genuine care and professionalism made me feel completely at home, and they are the main reason I would choose to return to this hotel. The location is also ideal, as it is within easy reach of public transportation and only a short walk from the historic Sultanahmet landmarks. I also loved the evening activities, which made our stay even more enjoyable and offered wonderful opportunities to meet new friends from all over the world.

I had the most wonderful experience staying at Bucoleon by Cheers. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel like family. A heartfelt thank you to Elif, the kind and gentle caretaker, whose warm smile and helpful nature made every day brighter. And a big shoutout to the manager, Mr. Ergun – so soft-spoken, friendly, and genuinely caring. They both went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. Special thanks to the young and charming owner – such a positive and energetic soul! His hospitality and welcoming nature truly reflect the heart of this beautiful property. Every corner of the hotel felt cozy, peaceful, and full of character. I didn’t feel like a guest; I felt like I was at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul – it’s not just a stay, it’s an experience! 🌟

Location was great. Room was comfortable although no towel rail. It is not obvious on booking but the accommodation is spread over 3 properties near to each other. We were across the quiet road from the building where breakfast was served which meant it was quite. Breakfast was a set plate every morning so you knew what to expect plus tea & coffee.

The place is very clean and the owner of the hotel is a nice and humble person. As for the staff, they are very nice and helpful people, especially the girl who sits at the reception, Yuna, and Qadr and Atiya, the big man, and also Sherifa who serves clean and tidy food. I don’t know the rest of the names, but they are really nice... I found it to be the best hotel in the Sultanahmet area, and I don’t deny that there is a difference between the picture of the breakfast on the internet and the breakfast served, but in general it is clean and good. There is a comfortable beds and cooling. The price is very commensurate with the service. I took a shared room.

The staff were super friendly and kind, and always happy - Kay in particular was always helpful & has excellent English. Great breakfast. The rooms & bathroom are really really clean - this hostel has a superb cleaner! I was in the female dorm which is bright, spacious, nicely decorated & feels secure. The beds are comfy, & they have nice crisp white bed linen & warm duvets (perfect in winter).

Staying at Bucoleon by Cheers was an absolute delight! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly and supportive staff who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The breakfast provided was simply amazing, offering a delicious start to each day of exploration. I cannot recommend this hostel highly enough – a solid 10/10! Not only is the hostel fantastic, but its prime location near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia makes it the perfect base for exploring Istanbul. Its accessibility adds to its charm, making it easy to navigate the city's sights and sounds. Overall, my experience at Bucoleon by Cheers was outstanding, and I would gladly return in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Istanbul!

Stayed here in 2019 and returned this year. The staff here are so very welcoming and friendly, they do everything they can to ensure you have a great stay. Rooms are clean and functional, location is excellent, price is reasonable. Good breakfast, cool bar to have a drink and meet other people in the evenings after a day out. Fully recommend staying here.
