Shantihome Hostel İzmir

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.

The location is perfect, staff are kind and helpful, good breakfast served (although late). It just needs a renovation to look like the photos, the door to the ground floor dorm and the wooden steps to the bed were noisy.

The hostel is located in a very good area which is Alsancak area. However, the hostel has very creepy vibes. First of all you cannot cook until 2PM which is very odd and strange. The owner in general seemed very strict and just dont care in general. This hostel is basically an house in one of the streets of Alsancak. You cannot cook meat so only vegetarian. The rooms are very dark and dirty. All the furnitures were so old and in general the atmosphere was very strange. Upon the guy told i could cook only after 2pm I was so happy to leave and never return. I would never reccomend this place if you are looking for good vibes, clean and friendly atmosphere. Only Alsancak area is amazing but this place never.

The hostel is located in the city centre of Izmir. Supermarkets nearby. The property has a cozy common area with a stable wifi connection. There is equipped kitchen which everyone can use. The hostel is well-maintained. Beds are comfortable. All the staff is friendly. Highly recommend it!

Very hospitable, the host makes food for all guests at a pay-what-you-can rate. Great location and very clean, radical decor and a wide selection of books.

I enjoyed my stay the place is in the heart of the city the people are nice and helpful there especially Fatih and Hugo I would definitely visit again

very nice location, clean rooms, nice breakfast, thanks to hugo for showing city , recomend this hostel vibes are good i felt like home

Incredibly unfriendly, unhelpful, and borderline rude staff. Not a single smile from them for the length of my stay, 3 nights. 100 TL charge for any late check-in after 12:00 AM. I told the staff the arrival of my plane, and they emailed three times to ask what time I would arrive and that I would be charged extra for arriving late. Thankfully I was able to check-in before 12:00 AM and not have to pay extra. The facility is extremely dirty and run down, there are no lockers for storage and their excuse is that it creates a false sense of security. We are asked to take off our outdoor shoes at the entrance which is completely understandable however, I always carry a pair of indoor slippers. Each staff would tell me that we cannot walk around in outdoor footwear and every time I had to repeat myself that they were strictly indoor slippers. There is a kitchen but, we cannot cook meat only vegetarian food. Therefore, I did not utilize it. I really don’t understand how this place has so many good reviews. You can have the best facilities but if the customer service is not on point, then it will just make your experience horrible and vice-versa. Overall, I would avoid this hostel when travelling to Izmir.
