The hostel was okay, but I wouldn't say it was great, especially compared to other hostels I've stayed at this year while travelling on my gap year.
I think this place has the potential to be really nice. It has quite a hippie/hipster vibe, with an eco-friendly feel to it. They even have chickens roaming around outside!
The hostel is spread over two floors in an old building, with wooden floors and high ceilings, giving it a lot of character. I booked a bed in a six-bed dorm, which seemed to be one of the more comfortable rooms. The bed was comfortable and had curtains for extra privacy.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was definitely a plus. It's also a typical backpackers' hostel, with a social atmosphere where it's easy to meet other travellers.
The hostel offers Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen. The common areas and garden are also really nice places to relax. There are showers and bathrooms on both floors, although I preferred the facilities upstairs, as they seemed cleaner.
The location is quite convenient, close to Basmane train station and around a 15–20-minute walk from the city centre. There are also plenty of restaurants and a few coffee shops nearby.
The Wi-Fi wasn't very reliable and kept connecting and disconnecting.
There was also a faint chicken-farm smell inside the hostel.
The bed curtains could definitely use an upgrade or replacement. Also, the large windows in the dorm didn't have any curtains, so the room wasn't very dark at night. The area can also get a bit noisy, so I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask and earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
I also had an unfortunate encounter with two cockroaches in the downstairs shower. The shower itself didn't have hot water either.
Another downside is that there are no large lockers for storing your personal belongings.
The hostel was also on the expensive side, although I understand that there aren't many hostel options in Izmir. For comparison, I paid around US$17.50 per night for a much more comfortable hostel in Istanbul, with a four-bed dorm, whereas here I paid around US$22 per night for a six-bed dorm.

Very nice staff and great camaraderie amongst guests. Upstairs showers preferable to use and nice seating spaces downstairs and upstairs.
Very vibrant area with loads of quality shops. Awesome juicing place and Sok supermarket very close to hostel.
Excellent location close to main attractions and main train station for travel to main museum.
Mixed dorms not a problem and made interactions more meaningful with everyone.
Good kitchen setup.

Cute house in the center of Izmir just 5min from Basmane train station so really convenient for day trip. It is also in the Bazaar so you can easily buy anything you need just down the street.
The garden is so peaceful, you just want to stay all day listening to the music and the birds.
The staff is wonderful and really helpful in all possible way. I really felt like home, I even extended my trip and stayed an overall of 7nights.
Will definitely come back whenever I am in Izmir :)

Location. The garden is nice and there’s a nice table. it’s good there is a kitchen but a toaster would help. Mehmet is a really nice staff member, helpful and friendly.
The owner and staff show little regard for guests’ belongings or food. They enforce a “label your food” rule, yet this makes little sense—old, spoiled items can still be labelled. I labelled my food clearly, but they still threw it away, claiming it was “inedible.” This included a fresh avocado I had opened that very day and 3-day old cream cheese.
The beds in each room have no curtains for privacy, so I used my towel as a makeshift curtain. Every day, staff removed it and dumped it on the floor without a second thought.
The bathrooms are poorly maintained, with minimal ventilation, and are far below acceptable hygiene standards. Cleanliness issues are not acceptable. The shared fridge has very limited space for the number of guests, making storage impractical. Obviously we know why they’re so liberal with ‘fridge cleaning’.
