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
Staff was quite unpolite; seemed bored and annoyed. I was in Turkey 2 weeks, and started from Nevsehir / Cappadokia, and surely this Shantihome in Izmir was the worst of all my accommodations in Göreme, Konya, Isparta, Pamukkale and Selcuk. The breakfast was offered yet 9.30. The chef was really good and amazing, but the meals were at the end / finished about 10 o'clock. The shared kitchen was dirty...
If you're looking for the opposite of a corporate hotel experience, this is the place. A countercultural spot if there ever was one. The staff is charming. There is coffee and breakfast -- not free as reported -- but quite good. It's in an obcure little street -- but the locals know it -- right off a major pedestrian street that was hopping on a Thursday night (and there places with better atmosphere in the immediate vicinity.) Location then both convenient and obscure. There is off street parking -- paid to commercial lot -- immediately across the alley which you may well want to avail yourself of. Mine was a less than 24 hour but I'd gladly return should life ever take me to Izmir again.
Excellent (Value +Staff +Location +BR +Wi-Fi) & V.G. (Shared Bath +Hotel +Room) = 9.0/10

- 8-Beds Mixed Dorm. ROOM was large enough with AC +Balcony +big Window +Hanger, each bed has Socket & Curtain for bottom bed only but without (Shelf +Lamb +Hanger +Locker!) _Every floor has 1 complete Shared BATH plus Toilet with Sink.
- HOTEL is with 2 floors and in the Gr. Floor will find all shared Facilities like (full Kitchen +Reception with Sitting area & music +board Games +Library), There are also Gr. & Street Level Terraces, but there is no TV.
- STAFF were very Help and with V.G. information but no Map on walls only _I arrived early and let me to eat BR and sometimes drink Soap in dinner, free Tea _Early check in 11:00 instead 14:00 and paid TL Cash only _They helped me to reserve a bus to Bodrum.

It is a typical hostel, perhaps less nice than others I have stayed in. But the value for what was paid was fair.
The coordinator, Alegro, is a kind and helpful guy. He explains the rules clearly. The atmosphere is nice in general. The noise from the surrounding entertainment centers was extremely high during the night.
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.
Came just to stay the night. Place was smelly and there was lots of noise from outside. Only stayed here because it was the cheapest. Although the manager charges 100tl extra if you check-in after midnight (something that should be clarified in his ad).
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
Çok yakınında bir eğlence merkezi var gece 3:24 e kadar müzik çaldı. Banyo gideri tıkalıydı. İçersi asla temiz değildi. Ayrıca otopark alanı var yazıyordu ama gittiğimde park alanının olmadığını ve sokakların da full dolu olduğunu gördüm. Hemen karşısındaki otoparka para karşılığı aracımı bıraktım.

Per me è risultato arduo ttovarlo per mancanza insegna, per parcheggiare la moto davanti l'ostello c'è un parcheggio custodito a modico prezzo
