Lotus Garden Hostel Izmir

Ahmet and Cosku are a couple from Turkey who opened this hostel 8 years ago. We have been worked a lot since today. The house that we rent for long term was empty for ten years. There was nothing inside the house. Only dust and spiders :)
We have created this hostel with very good energy. We put full of our passion, care and love in it during the construction. Nowadays, we are sharing our peace and love with our guest and friends here and being enjoy it. They are calling this place ' An oasis in the middle of the city'.
We love nature. We are very sensitive and respect to our natural being. That`s why we recycle our rubbish as much as we can. We make our own cleaning material. We don`t use any chemicals for washing the dishes and sheets and clothes. We make our own detergent with natural materials. We use our kitchen left over food for our chickens and cats, the rest of is compost for the garden.
One of our guest really insist to us to call our hostel "Eco Hostel". I promise to him write this words. To be honest I wouldn`t prefer to write it because nowadays being ecological is a fashion and advertisement of companies. For us it is a must and the language of nature and it is our life style. We are doing what our ancestors did it.

*We are right in the middle of the city, very very close to one of the main metre/train station which calls BASMANE train station... We have garden with many trees, flowers, a small fountain and a courtyard which is very cool in hot summer days. The hostel building is a restored antique wooden building, build earlier then 1839.
