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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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!

Decepcionante

Nos dieron una habitación que no se correspondía con las fotos en absoluto. El pomo de la puerta estaba roto, se caía, y nunca lo arreglaron a pesar de que lo pedimos. No limpiaron la habitación ninguno de los 5 días. Les pedimos que nos cambiaran una de las toallas y nos dijeron que no, porque no tenían toallas limpias... Por el precio que pagamos pudimos tener algo mucho mejor, pero engañan con las fotos que muestran para que pienses que esta habitación será mejor.
