Cheers Hostel

The four- to 10-bed dorms at Sultanahmet's best hostel are worlds away from the barrack-like quarters at many of its competitors. Bright and airy, they feature air-conditioning, lockers and comfortable beds. Bathrooms (one shower per eight beds) are clean. The excellent central location is a major draw, as is the cosy rooftop bar with its open fire and great view.
