    Too noisy for whooshing cars outside the window. No way to sleep. Great breakfast! Nice host. I didn't know they had other rooms not towards the street. The windows don't block sounds. Too noisy to sleep. I changed hostel right away.

    Good wifi connection, central hostel, close to many restaurants and bars. The owner Adriano is a great person and will do all possible to make your trip pleasant, although he speaks better italian than English, he will prepare breakfast for guests in the morning, also with vegan option. My stay was pleasant and I will return. The room is nice with big lockers, my advice is to close all windows and turn on air conditioner to reduce street noise in the evening.

    It is not big, this hostel. As I saw, there are only three rooms. One has only one bunkbed by the size of the room. It is half a stairway up, the other two rooms are half a stairway down, if I have understand that right. The hostel has three bathrooms, which is a plus. The kitchen is also half a stairway down. It looks like an older building, quite good maintained. The owner made the breakfast for us. An Albanian omelette, which was served with bread, sausage, white cheese, butter, jam, cucumber and tomato slices. For us vegetarians, he fried even read pepper and aubergine slices. There was only tea to drink resp. Albanian (Turkish) coffee.

    Really amazing breakfast and nice owner. However, I couldn't sleep because it seemed the Air-conditioner was making the room hot and it was literally unbearable. I appreciate the owner coming in trying to fix it eventually opening the windows but then the noise and mosquitoes also made it hard to sleep. This should be fixed asap for comfort. Also the shower heads don't stay in place so spray water everywhere

    Great value! I arrived almost 2 am and he was ready to open the door for me, gave me tips and showed me around. In the morning provide a complete breakfast with omelete, saugage bread and even wake everyone up to remind them that the breakfast ready. I paid fairly good price. There are 5 bunkbeds with mostly man which made me a bit awkward but that is the art of hostel.

    The Hostel lacks in a number of things but if you're an experienced traveller you're longing for that Home touch and Tufina makes the best out of it. Go for it, you're not going to leave disappointed

    (Translated by Google) Clean and nice hostel, abundant and quality breakfast, but the real added value is Adriano and his family, who will make you feel at home. (Original) Ostello pulito e curato, colazione abbondante e di qualità, ma il vero valore aggiunto sono Adriano e la sua famiglia, che vi faranno sentire come a casa.

    (Translated by Google) An absolutely wonderful place where you can really feel at home. Very comfortable and clean, friendly host, Andrea worker and guests. Here, they not only fed a delicious breakfast, but also tried to feed them for lunch and dinner 😁 I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Совершенно чудесное место, где действительно можно почувствовать себя как дома. Очень уютно и чисто, приветливый хозяин, работник Андреа и гости. Здесь не только кормили вкусным завтраком, но также пытались подкормить в обед и ужин 😁 Рекомендую всем!

    I had a fantastic stay at this hostel in Tirana. It truly felt like a home away from home. The owner is incredibly supportive, and the breakfast is not only delicious but also a great way to start the day. The location, right next to the city center, makes everything easily accessible. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable and convenient stay in Tirana!

    I wan't to put more than 5 stars but it's not allowed... My stay in Tufina hostel and with Tufina familly was incredibily great! I've never received a warm welcoming like that! You will not feel in a hostel but at home or even better actually! That's a great feeling when you travelling! The owners do EVERYTHING to make you cumfortable ! They are all friendly, take time to talk with you and we went together to see the city!!! Amazing! Thanks guys! The hostel itself is great located (close to the man square with the clock tower). It's really clean and new! The kitchen is more than well equiped! You have everything there! Adriano made me a big and delicious breakfast with vegetables, eggs, sausages, jam, coffee... I'm full for the whole day! And it's cheap!!! Falemenderit!! If you are in Tirana I hope you will have the chance to sleep here and meet this beautiful familly!
