The bed room and the bathroom isn’t clean enough And the neighbours (pubs or cafes) were playing music so loud until late so I couldn’t sleep comfortably. Better to make the walls thicker But Breakfast is for free and amazing

Older hostel with a cool hippie vibe
Nice people. Older building in a side alley. Super comfortable queen size bed. Quiet. Nice desk greeting, easy. Right in the heart of the city, lots of transportation options, dining, bars, The sea.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Shanti Hostel, and I couldn't be more delighted with my experience. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the fantastic breakfast prepared by Oze. The variety and quality of the food were simply outstanding. Oze's culinary skills aside, the warmth and friendliness displayed by the entire staff, especially Oze, added an extra layer of comfort to my time at Shanti Hostel. Oze went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. The genuine hospitality made my stay truly memorable. The hostel itself boasts a vibrant and inviting atmosphere, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The communal spaces were well-maintained, and the overall cleanliness of the hostel was commendable. I wanna thank all the employees in Shanti Hostel and see you soon

I highly recommend Shantihome. Wonderful, friendly, helpful dedicated people, excellent atmosphere, and the best hotel breakfast I have ever had, or close to it. And the breakfast is included in the price of accommodation. The only down-side is the noise from the street, because it's in the heart of an night-life district. However, for that problem I found ear-plugs to be a satisfactory solution.

The staff at this hostel were frendly and helpful. It is well geared to meet the needs of travellers. Although the building is run down, the place was clean. The shower was hot, and towels were provided. There was a washing mschine available for 10 lira, and space on the roof to dry clothes. Drinking water was free, and there was a kitchen for use. Breakfast was provided free, although a small donation was encouraged. There was no airconditioning, and the rooms could be hot. The surrounding area is full of Bars and restaurants that operate into the early hours, so if heat and noise bother you, this is not the place for you. Otherwise the location was good. Close to cafes, shops and the waterfront. About 400m from the Metro.

I haven’t stayed in such a good hostel for a long time. It’s just a great place for backpackers. The room and the bed are so comfortable. Bathrooms are clean and convenient to use. You can relax or hang the clothes on the terrace, which is important to me..l feel the atmosphere is just fit me. I was sick when I stayed in there, and one of the staff made me an herbal tea. Thank you very much!! If I visit Izmir again I definitely will stay here again.:)

I like the staff, the owner was a polite person. The atmosphere was friendly and I think the place was clean. However, I experienced two important problems. The first one, the room where I was staying, was very hot and we got a cooler, but it didn't help (if there was a air conditioner, that would be great), so because of this reason, I couldn't sleep well. And also, the wifi connection was terrible, I went to the closest Starbucks to use the internet.

The best hostel I’ve ever stayed
Hi, my name is Iris, I’m from Mozambique, I was doing a trip for a few days non-stop, I arrived very early in Izmir, 5am!!!! I sent the hostel manager a message asking for a earlier check-in (since ir was only at 12am and I had to wait for 7h) went around the city, had breakfast, as soon as he woke up, he told me to come, gave me breakfast, arranjed a bed and let me sleep! This is AMAZING! There you wont only get the best treatment, you will get a family, I stood in a room for 8, it was confortable, we all shared what we had (of course you dont have to, we wanted)! I made cool friends, they adviced me on my futire trips, how to get there, good things to see, we shared our stories! Stayed for just 2 days but they were very good 🙏 Thank you Shanti! If you are looking for a peaceful, respectful place and friends, this is the spot!

Cosy
Although the hostel is a bit shabby, it is cosy and comfortable. It provides all basic needs in a cute hippie like atmosphere at very good location. However, the cleanliness is not very good. As a little example, the rack just near my bed was full of dust. It is good planned just near the bed, but you can not use it due to dirt.

Nice location
Hostel is well located in Alsancak. Nice people welcoming you. It is not the typical commercial hostel but a house of vegan locals who organized a hostel. For th price paid is a perfect option if you need it just for a sleeping place.

Bon petit déjeuner et lit confortable sinon beaucoup trop bruyant pour moi. Je n'ai quasiment pas dormi en raison des aller-retours de gens en pleine nuit parfois très bruyants et manquant de respect pour les autres (mais cela n'est pas imputable au propriétaire).
