    Fantastic ! Haven’t stayed at a hostel like this in awhile.. pro tip - do the big dorm instead of 4 person dorm. Especially if you can get one of the beds in the corners. A/C was amazing. Bathrooms were clean. Can rent a towel for 2 euro. The staff is FANTASTIC. Balcony views are nice, big clean kitchen. The WiFi was pretty solid. Only knock is the location — 15 min walk to action in city center. But the vibe around the place was safe. Highly recommend to stay here. Photo is from view off one of the balconies.

    By far, one of the best hostels I stayed in. It's my forth time in Tirana and my forth time in Art Hostel. I keep coming back to this place. Located close to new bazar and the city center, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Beds are really comfortable, strong hot shower, big lockers, big kitchen and nice common area - basically all you could ask for in a hostel. Staff is kind and helpful with everything.

    The hostel is absolutely perfect. Beds are clean, showers have warm water and are super clean as well. The host Endri is the best host possible. He arranged a discount for me, because I paid to much for the taxi that was arranged via the hostel. So they do airport pickups as well. He also helps you arranging taxi’s! It’s a 10/15 min walk to the city centre and along that route are a lot of fruit & vegetable shops. Maybe the only downside is that i didn’t have a lot of interactions with fellow travelers because is was really quite in the time i was there (end may)

    I stayed at Art hostel total 9 weeks, the director Antea is fabulous! She provided Tirana city events information and government announcement actively. With her high standard work ethic, (you can easily tell by every detail in the hostel. I.e. high quality mattress, pillow, duvet, well condition facilities, decorations, lovely terrace...etc. Filtered water definitely a spark!) no wonder this hostel attracts many good people come and stay. I met some long-term guests and volunteers, we became friends more likely a big family. (that's a bonus!) Special thanks to the cleaning ladies Emine and Bujana, they did such an amazing job for guests! Strongly recommend Art hostel to any kind of traveler. Absolutely come back and stay when I travel to Tirana again.

    Cannot speak anything bad about this place. Absolutely loved it. I have been solo travelling this year in September and found this hostel to stay and to discover Tirana on foot. It is placed right in the city centre and has its own airport pick up taxi service, even runs during midnights. That was a huge plus point for me as a solo traveler. The place looks as clean and as beautiful as in the photos. It is rather safe and affordable for solo travellers too. I have made loads of like minded traveler friends at the hostel’s lounge area on my first night and had such amazing time that made me remember my early twenties while solo travelling. So welcoming! I left this place with making loads of new friendships from all around the world. It is valuable. Thank you Art Hostel Tirana for having me! Highly recommended!

    Wifi is really strong (good to work). Common area is really nice even with AC. Kitchen is great. Beds are quite confortable with own plugs and curtains. Location is good, supermarket and restaurants close.

    Endri and Flogerti are the best hosts i have ever seen! If you will be checking in after 9pm, you must give notice for self check-in to hosts. I did a self check in at 3 am and had no problems. Art hostel has a great culture of its own. The terrace is perfect. The co-working space is motivating. The hostel is cleaned every day. There is a police station next to it. Extremely safe. City center is so close, you can reach by walk. Endri and Flogerti are very helpful, very caring. You will feel at home. High recommend!

    The Art hostel apartment was great. It was very clean, nice bed and bathroom, like a hotel room. The outdoor balcony area was large and had a nice view. The common area for the kitchen/eating was also spacious and clean. The location is great, it’s a ~10 min walk from the square, and is near a busy roundabout and market area which has lots of traditional restaurants. Safe neighborhood, walked home alone late at night with no problems at all. It’s also right next to a police station. It wasn’t busy when I was there and I didn’t spend much time in the common area, so not sure on the social vibe. Last thing, the manager was very kind and helpful with everything. ✌️

    Was very pleased to discover Art Hostel. It has air conditioned rooms, comfortable beds and highly professional, kind staff. Even the shared dorms have private bathrooms inside. The kitchen is new, well equipped and spacious with the perk of purified water available anytime. Plus, the cherry on tope of the cake for me, a lounge area with a terrace and bookshelf.

    This hostel is a great choice to explore Tirana and meet other travelers. The hostel is close to the police station, walking distance to the city center, has a lift, and managed by a wonderful and helpful staff. You get a full kitchen and free drinking water too. My private room was spacious and had private bathroom too.

    The hostel is very clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is very very kind and nice! They helped us in everything with a smile. The manager of the place is amazing and very friendly! The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a very cool terrace where you can sit. I highly recommend coming to the hostel!

    One of the great hostels I have stayed in based on price/performance ratio. Managed by friendly people. Close to the city center, yet not really close to the bus station. Safe place next to the police station. It has a good terrace and wide kitchen. One thing to criticize that there was no curtain in the top bed of the bunk. It would be great if there was.

  • 4/5 Laura H. 8 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    A very nice place to stay at in Tirana, located about 15mins walking from the city centre. Rooms were clean and you get a towel! The terrace and the common room was great to meet other travelers.

  • 5/5 Natalie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Endri is an excellent owner! He communicates very efficiently through whatsapp chat and gives precise information for the money changer, travel agency, taxi services, simcard shops- ONE (the better of the 2) or vodafone. The location is next to a police station and it is very safe even at 3am when coming back from a night of drinking. Very friendly and patient chap. The private room and dorm bed are comfortable and spacious. Hot water in the shower too. Water filter in the kitchen to refill your water bottle too. No bad things to say about this place.

  • 5/5 Jose R. 11 months ago on Google
    Very cozy and clean place, very good location, I was working there remotely for more than a month and a half. For sure the best thing about the place is the administrator Endri, very polite, friendly and makes you feel at home.

  • 5/5 Vakkas A. 11 months ago on Google
    It is not a hostel but a home away from home. The manager Endri who is more than a friend now is best in the business and very professional, caring, forthcoming, mature and a kind hearted person who is very knowledgeable about Tirana and Albania. Location is just 5 to 10 mins walk from the centre. The property is always clean. Beds have very high quality mattresses and duets along with privacy curtains. Common room is equipped with nice cozy kitchen, kettle, oven and two fridges. Smart tv with netflix working. Small grocery shops and supermarket are just couple of minutes walk. In short this is the best place i have stayed and they go all out to help and accommodate the guests.

    Both my family and I have had the pleasure to stay at Art Hostel on multiple occasions. The staff are extremely accommodating and made my stay very comfortable. I highly recommend this location to all friends and family staying in Tirana.

  • 5/5 Wizard D. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the best hostels in the world.... Everything is top notch, comfy beds, good AC, amazing chill room, cleaning is done everyday. THANK YOU

  • 5/5 Ilia K. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a great time staying here. The accommodations are superb and clean. The staff are very friendly and the place attracts equally friendly visitors. For a great price, this is an excellent option in Tirana, and has become a go-to for me and my wife.

  • 5/5 Erfan D. 11 months ago on Google
    Don't think about anywhere else, the best hostel in Tirana, super modern, specious, modern beautiful, clean and large open plan kitchen and living room, nice and well designed beds, and the most important the rooftop balcony. You get the best of everything with a perfect location and very nice manager, Andre, he is super kind and friendly and polite, his staff also super nice and friendly, all albanians and with full of information about Tirana and Albania that happily share with you. The social life with other backpackers and digital nomads in the common area is also very nice.

  • 5/5 Eric A. 11 months ago on Google
    Super clean and shining surfaces. The bed and sheets are sparkling white, the same as bathrooms. They have a professional cleaner who comes everyday and clean the full 3 floors of hostel like a 4 stars hotel. I wish there was more stars I could give to this beautiful hostel.

  • 5/5 Julieta P. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience at Art Hostel was magnifique. I would definitely return to this place if I ever come back to Tirana. Positive points: Good location, just 10 minutes walking distance from the main square and around 20 from Blloku, but you will totally enjoy the walk. Receptionist: Enri was a super cool and friendly receptionist. He was in all details and whatever you need he is willing to give you a hand. He had a lot of information about the city, what to do, where to go. He is amazing !! Hostel: the dorm where I stayed was 10 people dorm but you didn’t feel like so. Every bed has a charger and a place to put your things. The hostel is super clean! It looks more like a hotel than a hostel because of how well maintened it is. It has a terrace, nice to sit on a hot day to have a drink. The location also is super safe in a nice neighbourhood.

  • 5/5 Martin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Relatively new up and coming Hostel, would definitely recommend to anybody. Comfortable beds, very clean, nice common areas and good kitchen, good location, the host Endri was super helpful and knowledgeable with all kinds of recommendations and suggestions. Don't have anything bad to say about this place really.

  • 5/5 Mike H. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal host and excellent property. If the shower and bathroom stalls were just a bit bigger and the showers had sills so the floor wasn’t often wet, I’d give this place 1000 out of 1000 points. As it is: 999 out of 1000. It’s that good!

    The best hostel I've stayed at. Nothing more to be said!

  • 5/5 boldenkov a. 4 years ago on Google
    For sure this is THE BEST HOSTEL I've ever visit in my life!! Thanks a lot to this amazing place!!! 😁 So many good things I saw here. Very big common space with coffee bar, clean kitchen with huge table and big amount of cooking equipment (I love to cook, so I know what I'm saying), filtered water, bookcrossing library, many different lights, good sound system around all area, comfortable sofas, pillows, paintings, heater, board games and even X-box!! Dorm was extremely clean (as all hostel, by the way), with balcony. They have thick very comfortable matrass, so I slept as a baby)) Clean shower, hot water, warm and white rooms. Girls from reception were super kind, good speaking English, and smart, so it was interesting to have conversations) Location is very close to city center, and it's easy to find this hostel. Actually, because of all good things I saw here, I spent here almost a week, but at first thought about just one night. I recommend this amazing place for all travellers!!! You are the best in Tirana! Wish all the best for Art Hostel! ✌️😊

    I had the best experience here! The cleanest and most comfortable hostel in my life! I was sleeping like a child there) Kitchen and common area is huge and very cozy. You have everything you need for cooking (including oven). They have big book collection to read or exchange, also board games, great sound system and even Xbox))) Also there is a bar. Stuff was very polite, friendly and never bother us. Highly recommend this place! <3

    This is an amazing hostel. Everything is super clean. The staff was very sympathetic and helpful in every way. The location of the hostel is perfect, as it is very quiet, while also being only 15/20 min by foot away from the city center. Around the hostel you find fruit markets, supermarkets as well as an amazing local and cheap restaurant the owner recommended. The common areas are very inviting and spacious. The kitchen is very good equipped, the terrace is lovely. I can recommend this hostel to you. When I come back to Tirana, this is where I'll stay again.
