Lotus Garden Hostel Izmir

The hostel was very stylish and well-put together, and I had a fantastic time with the staff and other guests.

Amazing stay ! The staff is so friendly and you can met nice peoples there🙂

Felt like home, beautiful place!

🚨 BEDBUG ALERT 🚨 mid January 2024 🚨 The purpose of this review is to alert other travelers and does not mean the hostel isn’t a decent place. I felt itchy in the middle of my first night and woke up with 3 ordinary bites which I thought were just from mosquitos. The second evening, these bites became swollen, red, painful, itch, so I started being suspicious. I checked the bedsheet but the dim room and patterned sheet made it difficult. After the second night, more bites showed up! I am traumatized by my experience with bedbugs years ago and know exactly how they show up on me (in the most horrible way) These are for sure bedbug bites. I packed up as soon as I got back to the hostel, and talked to the staff whom was friendly and helpful. Besides the bedbugs situation, the hostel is what you pay for - good vibe, nice staffs, and the internet is one of the stablest I have had in throughout my stay Turkey (small issue with video conference calls, but no problem sending/downloading files). The facilities is alright - it has functional kitchen, bathroom, and showers. Overall I’d recommend this place for remote workers and backpackers on budget but best to stay away the next couple of months. I can’t imagine the stress this must have brought onto the hostel, and again, this review isn’t meant to criticize the hostel but to alert fellow travelers as it is something I’d like to know too. 🙏

Gezginler için mükemmel tasarlanmış harika bir hostel ve sahibi de çok iyi bir insan tavsiye ederim
