Shantihome Hostel İzmir

＞I really enjoyed my stay at ShantiHome. The location is strategically. The host was fantastic and welcoming, and the hostel made it easy to meet many friendly travellers. The free breakfast was a great touch and added to the homely feel.

Impossible to sleep if you have a tour or plans early morning. Ideal place if you go to sleep after 3 am. Music was so loud we couldn’t sleep. The room was vibrating with the bass of the bars/discoteque next door. And unfortunately my first night was a Friday night. Old building. We got a private room for 2. Very small room, nothing special to mention. I cancelled the 2nd night. Staff was nice, place is “too well” located, to the point I couldn’t rest.

Hands down best hostel in Izmir! Great people, comfy beds and the best breakfast. Location couldn’t be better. Right in the heart of Izmir. Thanks guys I’ll be back!

There are a lot of nice things about this hostel. However they do allow non travellers to stay there. In my experience working at hostels this is not typical practice. Although it is usually fine sometimes it may jeopardise the safety of female guests. Its great that you host everyone but if you continue to do so I would suggest providing female only dorms and separate locks for the rooms. They offered to kick the guy out when I complained but I didn’t want him to be on the streets.

This hostel shocked me with how badly they handle guest safety. A young woman staying here cut her trip short and checked out early because a man was bothering her and making her feel unsafe. She reported him to the staff, but instead of taking action immediately, they allowed him to stay as if nothing happened. Meanwhile, I spoke calmly to this man to understand what had happened, since I knew the girl personally and was concerned. I didn’t fight, I didn’t cause a scene — I simply asked questions. The manager then found out and, unbelievably, kicked me out of the hostel and banned me from returning. They punished the wrong person while protecting the one who made a guest leave in fear. This is not just unfair — it’s dangerous. A hostel that ignores harassment and then silences the people who care about safety is not a place where travelers can feel protected. If you value your safety and respect as a guest, avoid this hostel.

An amazing place. Great, peaceful atmosphere and friendly people, who make you feel at home. The breakfasts really are goooood. Even though I'm a meat lover, the vegetarian kahvaltı was a significant thing to me. We've had very comfortable beds. The hosts are very helpful. The AC in the common room makes the heat easily bearable. I would give 6 stars out of 5.

I just check out this hostel . I must say the owner is very friendly, easy to negotiate. I enjoy my stay one night here . Very good location, today morning I can see the hostel near by cafe selling bread , a lot of people having b/f there, because the bread is hot and fresh . Because of the owner so flexible, it make every one write good review. That why AI introduce me this hostel. When check in , he explain to me where it my bed ? He also provide me towel. He also cook b/f for guest to eat and up to you pay the amount. Overall nice owner.

A very special and cosy hostel , with kind people working there and super delicious breakfast. Also a lot of different and interesting backpackers staying in the hostel.
