πŸ‘πŸ‘ It's a good option for the buck, very simple and neat, 3 floors each floor has its own shared bathroom clean and tres chic.

    It's a good option for the buck, very simple and neat, 3 floors each floor has its own shared bathroom clean and tres chic. I reserved 1 night + extra 2 nights with the owner and he is very friendly, gave me some recommendations about the place and about a free city tour in the main square of Tirana. I reserved a single room, which to me is a small room (2 m Γ— 2 m) almost. Has a window and a bed and that's it, all other facilities in the building is in different rooms such as the kitchen and a nice living room like in the base floor and outdoor area The place on Booking located on Google maps in a wrong place I think. So just use Google Maps whenever you are reserving to find the place by its name. I love the place, and everything is just around you, groceries, coffee at "Mulliri" . Enjoy

    LOVED it! I haven’t stayed in hostels for nearly 10 years and was a bit reluctant first. I had a single room that was reaaaaally small BUT with the most comfortable bed, super clean and big window. Bathroom was spotless .. kitchen spacious and clean and staff reaaaaally lovely! Can totally recommend

    A simple, albeit small hostel that does a great job for providing a place to crash. There are quite a few oddities throughout, but they are pretty well setup for a short or a longer stay and your comfort. The staff are excellent and very helpful.

    Location is good and the staff is friendly. One small con is that they only accept payments in cash. Now, the big problem: I booked a private room for two nights, but when I got there, I realized it was not clean and the mattress/bed sheets were smelling bad. Then I asked to cancel my reservation, without spending any night there, but they still charged me 50% of the total amount. This is unfair, since it was not my fault that I couldn't stay there. It is their responsibility to provide clean rooms for the guests. Later I realized they canceled all the reservation at Booking, so I can't leave a review there. Watch out with this place.

    We stayed here for two nights in July, in a private room. The location is good and is within walking distance of many attractions. The hostel felt of safe, clean and tidy. Lockers are available, there is a kitchen and laundry service available for a fee of 600 lek. However, compared with other hostels and guesthouses of a similar cost in Albania, this one wasn't as good. The room we stayed in was uncomfortably hot, and although they did provide us with fan, the window was broken and we had to tie it open with string. Furthermore, the room was sparse, with just a couple of beds and bedside tables (no lamp, no bin, no chair). The room had no curtains which resulted in early morning wake-ups due to the light. Moreover, the room's sloped and low ceilings posed a challenge for anyone taller than 165cm. While the hostel itself was fine, we found it lacking in atmosphere and character. Information displays were scarce, and being volunteer-run, the staff were friendly and approachable, but had limited knowledge about the area. The shared bathroom, although clean, had an unpleasant odor that persisted throughout our entire stay.

    It is very well located for visiting the center. We had a room without air conditioning and very hot pianos. A shower for each floor. They give you a lot of information at reception about things to do. Impossible to park, better without a car. They put us on ventilators and they saved us something.

    Stayed 4 nights at this hostel. Very clean, great facilities. The outdoor common area is great to meet other travellers if that’s what your looking for. That staff was friendly and very helpful. The owner Frank is a legend showed us all the best places to go out and was so generous!

    Simple, quiet, clean rooms with AC ( which is a must in the summer in Tirana). It is wonderful here, the owner is going out of his way to help you and so is his staff. On top of that he is very knowledgeable about the whole country and can advise you on hidden spots/gems! I can only recommend the hostel it was an amazing experience 😁

    I enjoyed my 2-night stay here and would love to return for longer one day. The staff are wonderful, helpful and caring, and the location couldn't be better. It's in a quiet alley about a 10-minute walk from Skanderbeg Square, many attractions, restaurants and bus stops to go to the stations. The design is quite creative, probably not to everyone's taste but I enjoyed its uniqueness.

    I shouldn't complain cause its just $8. The owner and the house is nice, but I think maybe this hostel is not suitable for solo backpacker who can't sleep without air conditioner at hot night. And I should noticed that in booking.com they declared that. I asked the owner why don't charged more money for turning the air conditioner at night. He told me they don't have budget for a new air conditioner in the dormitories and maybe next year they will. but the air conditioner in the double room can work at night, so I think maybe its really suitable for a couple. by the way, recently the next building are on construction, they will start work almost 7:30 am.
