Lotus Garden Hostel Izmir

An amazing place

✓ I had such a wonderful time in Izmir, thanks to this hostel. The place is so cool. It is the center of Izmir, near to the Basmane train station, and in the meantime, it's such a quiet place. This old house, the garden, the cats : all of this contribute to create a unique atmosphere, very relaxing. You can chill in the garden for hours. The kitchen is very well furnished, you can find everything you need to cook. Everyone, the staff and the guests, were so nice. It's really easy to meet people in this place. I strongly recommend it for anyone travelling to Izmir!

✗ Not so many things were wrong but I noticed two things that could have been better. The wifi doesn't work so well, from time to time. And the beds don't have curtains, that's a shame because if you wanna sleep in the morning, it'll be difficult... That's it for the negative aspects!

Fabulous

✓ located just next to the train station and it got a nice garden for people to chill out. friendly staff

✗ squeaky wobbly bunk bed. The neighborhood a bit shady in the evening.

Wonderful place to stay for solo travelers! Definitely worth it!

✓ The hostel rooms and beds were very clean. There was a backyard where people came together to have a drink and chat together. There were lots of amazing people from different parts of the world. The breakfast offered was also nice and delicious. The staff were very kind and helpful providing information and having friendly chats. I felt really good staying there:)

✗ All good, nothing to say:)

Pleasant

✓ The hostel is in a beautiful old house. The Garden is great for socializing.

✗ The bunkbeds are not safe, as there is no rail to keep people from falling out of the upper bed, which is quite high. Staff was medium friendly. Strangely, although a lot of alcohol is consumed in the hostel, they had a lot of books on Islam in the shelves. The area around the hostel is not exactly safe.

Pleasant

✓ Location is perfect for exploring the city but also to go outside as it's just a few minutes from train and metro. Neighborhood is populated by local mostly and there's a market area, might seems a bit sketchy but actually everyone was super lovely. You must try the bakery next to the hostel.

✗ Place is very cozy but it could use a good clean and some deep scrubbing especially in the bathroom.

Very good

✓ The staff is very helpful and the hostel community is great. They've a very pretty garden and the hostel is very accessible through public transport. I had a pleasant stay.

✗ The hostel is very inexpensive so understandable however I do believe they can benefit from some infrastructural Upgrades in esp bathrooms and community kitchen space. The Location of hotel and area around I found slightly unsafe so I'd be careful of my safety and belongings coming back late in the night as a tourist.

Pleasant

✓ The location was perfect, close to the metro and train but also just a few minutes from the bazaar. The neighborhood might look a bit sketchy but actually is very safe just not touristy. Many information about what to do and how are available on the info board.

✗ The place is cute and cozy but could definitely use a good clean.

Very good

✓ Location is good
