The Wanderers Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Shkodër. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a concierge service.

This is a super fun hostel to stay at with travellers from all over the world! It's a young, fun vibe - free raki shots and karaoke at night. We stayed in the secondary building a few blocks away which was very quiet. The staff is very helpful and had great recommendations. They helped us arrange our trip into the mountains for the Komani Lake ferry and Valbone-Theth hike and allowed us to store our bags.

I thought Harris was an excellent host - very knowlegable and helpful, and as I was on a bike tour it was very helpful to have access to the (paid) washing machine. Also, rooms are huge!

    This place is really cool. Nice people, quiet neighbourhood with parking outside. We were able to leave our car in their safe off-street parking for a small fee while we were hiking in the mountains. Beers and coffee cheap. They can help with everything for excursions away to the mountains. Excellent hostel!

    Probably the best hostel in Shkodër. The managers are amazing, we had so much fun. It's not a random hostel running by volunteers, but by a young duo of welcoming and fun Albanians who love to spend their time there. They know their city and country by heart and give you advices about whatever you need. The dorms are big enough, the bathroom is huge, everything is clean. Safe neigborhood, a 10 minutes walking distance to the city centre.

    This is a wonderful new, family run hostel that should be at the top of everyone's list for a place to stay in Shkodër. It has a great location and a stunning rooftop terrace with gorgeous 360 ° views. The staff are fabulous and if you're lucky, you'll get a chance to taste the owner's delicious homemade wine. With great value for the money, book your bed before word gets around and there won't be any available. One of the best hostels in Albania.

    One of the best hostels that I've stayed at! Fantastic location with really friendly and helpful staff. They can help arrange activities such as the Valbona to Theth hike amongst others and settle transportations for you. They also have mexican dinners for 3 euros and karaoke nights on certain days. Drinks were cheap and it was really easy to socialise with people in the garden area. The huge breakfast spread was a bonus. Absolutely love this place!

    Price is very cheap so great value for money. Located in the central tourist streets, the safest and cleanest part of the city, even if you do not stay here I strongly recommend staying nearby. Hostel has decent kitchen facilities. All the staff (and the people staying while I was there) were really friendly.

    About the cheapest hostel I've ever stayed in, shower was warm, bed was reasonably comfy and in a great location with a nice balcony. Owner was incredibly helpful especially regarding onwards travel. As a place to stay either side of the mountains it was great value.

    Great location, easy access to buses and even direct shuttles to some of the popular destinations. Breakfast is included and actually really good! Clean bathrooms and hot water (which feels like luxury compared to most hostels I've stayed at). Pretty views, a big garden with plenty of spaces to work remotely! All the rooms lock properly and I felt very safe. Staff are friendly and ready to help at nearly any hour. I'd recommend staying here if you're visiting shkodër and want to feel close to local culture.
