DO NOT BOOK THE 2-PERSON BEDROOM, you will not sleep. We visited in August 2023. The room window is openning directly on multiple AC systems (of other buildings, not any of those will fresh down your room) that are placed just a couple of meters away. During our stay, the ACs were always on, making a terrible noise and making the bed vibrate. To get an idea of what I mean, you can check the uploaded video which was taken in the middle of the night. In addition, in August it was very hot and with no AC inside our building, the temperature of the room was over 30°C when we arrived at around 11pm. We stayed only the first night. We did not sleep at all. In the morning we gave back the room keys and said to the hostel manager we will go elsewhere since it is not possible to sleep here. Hostel manager refused to acknowledge that the ACs were noisy, and he was blaming the bar/night clubs down the street. He kept saying that nothing was his responsability. This was absolutely ridiculous. Such a room should simply not be rented when ACs are used. Even for free I would not stay a night. Also, the room is very small (you have only 1m of space aside the bed, you can be 2 persons standing but definitely not move at all). It obviously does not matter if you are not planning on spending time in the room/you're travelling on a budget, but note that you will need the window open otherwise the volume is so small that you are suffocating (oh and keeping the window closed to reduce ACs noise is useless as the windows are old woden frames without any insulation). Bathrooms are not the cleanest and there is a lot of humidity and smell, but it's just as what can be expected from a cheap hostel, so we personally did not mind.

I only planned to stay in Izmir for a short time, but after two days at Shantihome I felt so much AT HOME that I didn't want to leave. The hostel is colorful and comfortable with a tremendous atmosphere and the staff couldn't be nicer. Guests are invited to share in their delicious homecooked meals. Their hospitality is real and amazing. If you're visiting Izmir, Shantihome is a must. P.S. Don't miss the bakeries on the corner. Try the nearest one for their chocolate boyos - balls of flaky pastry and chocolate, and right across from it try the blue and white bakery for their simit and grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.

I stayed at this hostel for two nights on my way from the south to Istanbul. Everything was fine and their breakfast was delicious (I was unhappy to have miss it on the second day). At night the place gets pretty loud as it’s located in the heart of Izmir. Beds are comfortable and it’s clean. Some elements at the hostel look like they have not been renovated in ages. Doors and windows look like at my grandpas house and he did not repaint them in probably around 25 years 😂 my room was also dark with little day light

Es un Hostel Ideal para hospedarte en Esmira! Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, Limpias y con muy buena luz solar y ventilación. Es un detalle muy importante que te ofrezcan toalla. Ofrecen un desayuno de forma “gratuita” (Pagas la voluntad y te aseguro que después de probarlo pagarías mucho más de lo que te cobran en un restaurante de la Zona) cada mañana que está exquisito y es VEGETARiANO! El dueño es encantador y muy trabajador, Te ayuda en todo lo que necesites y siempre tiene una sonrisa! Es importante que tengáis en cuenta que el Hostel es vegetariano, por lo tanto no puede cocinarse ni carne ni pescado. En la cocina tienes una nevera, donde puedes guardar tu comida. Tanto la cocina, como los espacios comunes, siempre están muy limpios y ordenados! Disponen de agua potable en un grifo en la cocina para que pueda rellenar tu botella Disponen de contenedores de reciclaje, cosa que es muy importante para apoyar el medio ambiente Trabajan aquí dos chicos voluntarios, cocinando y limpiando y son súper educados, encantadores y serviciales. También disponen de dos bicicletas que alquilan pagando la voluntad. Importante destacar que tienen lavadora un precio muy económico La localización no podría ser mejor Después del checado, te facilitan un lugar donde dejar las maletas y puedes estar en las zonas comunal Si logra duda, recomendaría este Hostel al 100%
