Lotus Garden Hostel Izmir

While I really liked the overall atmosphere, I booked a 6 bed with curtains but was given the 8 bed without curtains (but still was charged 10 bucks more). I brought this up with staff and was told they weren’t sure how it happened but the 6 bed was full, wasn’t offered a refund/anything else. The power was also off for a few hours the next evening so couldn’t shower, and wasn’t given a tour/any introduction to the hostel so didn’t feel very welcome.

The hostel was ok, didn't feelreally safe in that part of the city. The staff was nice, a good common area and the kitchen seemed alright too. No locker and it can get a bit crowdet with all the suitcases in the room. The bed was alright, the bathrooms not really clean.

One of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at across over 100. The lounge is so social and homely. Big reccs.

Hello :) the stay at this hostel was amazing!! The staff was super welcoming, the chickens, the garden outside and the fireplace inside created a warm relaxed atmosphere.. the breakfast was quite cheap and super fresh and delicious. The hostel guests were sweet too. The kitchen is big and well equipped for cooking. My only critique is that the bath rooms and toilets were not super clean (which is quite normal in Hostels).. thank you so much for the warm home you were to us in Izmir!

Would 10009% recommend

Very cute hostel near the center of Izmir, very welcoming atmosphere ( cats, guitars and friendly people to talk to). I really liked the garden and the cozy ambience in the common area.

This place has a lovely vibe, it's a super interesting and unique space. However the public spaces could have done with a deep clean and a little more love (like replacing broken kitchen cupboard doors), that said, I would definitely stay again if I were in Izmir.

Very honestly common spaces. Nice vibe

I stayed 2 nights at the Lotus garden for a break at Izmir during my bike trip, and it was great. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere super relaxing and there was even a bike garage. I could also wash my clothes and got a extra breakfast with fruits from their own gardens (both was at extra costs though). The hostel is also very well located, next to the Agora and the Kultur park. Lastly it was the first hostel that was actually caring about recycling. ❤️

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is chill with access to a kitchen and coffee supplies. I arrived at night and left at night and didn’t love the surrounding neighborhood but maybe it is better during the daytime. Facilities were comfortable and clean. The showers could use an upgrade as wood flooring is not very hygienic but other than that, this was a great place to stay.

I really liked and enjoyed my short time here. I wish I had more time to enjoy other spots in the area and the hostel. Very well located, near to the train station and also connected to the bus station. The staff is very very friendly and helpful and also the place is eco-friendly. It is a beautiful house that seems having a lot of love and effort.

Sehr nettes Hostel in guter Lage.

Leider eines der dreckigsten Hostels in denen ich je war. Es is günstig, ja, aber es müffelt unglaublich in allen Räumen… sowohl die Schlafräume, als auch die Küche & co sind wirklich nicht leicht aushaltbar. 1 Nacht hat gereicht - meine Kleidung war so muffelig und hat (ohne sie getragen zu haben) wirklich gestunken nach meinem Aufenthalt. Das Bad war leider auch wirklich auf einem sehr tiefen Niveau (ob Sauberkeit oder Ausstattung) und nur ein kurz ertragbar. Ausserdem überall viele Fl...

Didnt seem to be particularly clean. Allergies

An amazing place where travellers of all ages come together and socialise!

This was a good hostel. It’s an amazing old house so bathrooms and kitchen facilities are in working order, not great. It was a good stay for just a couple of nights. I would recommend this place if you’re ever in Izmir!

I didn’t see the other hostels, but Lotus garden could easly be the best one. Everything you can expect from a good hostel.

Super homey hostel, like an oasis within the city! Great location (at night the area can feel a little dodgy, inside feels so safe tho), so close to the main train station (like a 2min walk). Great common area and kitchen - loved the stay there!

Achei o lugar horrível, só perdi meu dinheiro, nem dormi lá, aluguei um hotel e abandonei esse local. Não indico a ninguém.

Globalement déçu. Le jardin est un vrai plus et crée une atmosphère relaxante (quand il n'y a pas de fumeurs), une vraie cuisine. La maison est ancienne, les salles de bains en mauvais état, le dortoir est particulièrement petit, aucun rangement. Malgré presque 20 euros la nuit, il faut quand même payer la serviette... J' y ai passé 2 nuits avant d'aller au Shanti home (certes vieillot également, mais avec un très bon petit déjeuner inclus)
