    They advertise air conditioning. And there are units on the wall. But they never will turn them on. Even in 40+ degrees!

    Very clean and great staff!

    The room was soooo hot!! We had a dorm with 8 people and one small fan. The windows didn't let any breeze in and was sweating all night

    Really good communal kitchen and living room to chill in. Also lots of outdoor areas if you like to smoke

    The bathrooms were wet and small and there wasn’t water in the afternoon to take a shower or wash the dishes (it seems that in Albania running water is scarce and sometimes you have to wait till it runs again around 19:00 if the water tank of the property is empty). There wasn’t blinds in the window of the bedroom (but there were curtains) so the sunlight comes in as soon as it breaks the day.

    People were silent and respectful. The staff were great and very kind. The kitchen is spacious and full of pans, cutlery, glasses, mugs, etc. There’s a comfortable table there and in the living room (share space) there are armchairs, tv and another large table The bedroom was very big and has a large cabinet to store your luggage comfortably.

    The dorm was too hot so I couldn’t sleep at all, the hotel has big fans but no AC so the air could not reach my bed bunker as I was on the top

    Excellent location with many restaurants around, supermarkets, pharmacies and bars, however the hotel is in a quite street so it is not noisy There are also lounge to chill out with tv and dining room, kitchen very clean and big garden. Staff very friendly and helpful

    There was never enough toilet paper in the bathroom and no hooks/space to hang your towels and clothes when you shower. There was also no floor mat so it was very wet after someone showered. The fridge in the kitchen was cluttered and it was near impossible to find space for your food. Otherwise a decent hostel stay!

    The location was good - just off the main road midway between the beach and the old town. The bunks were comfortable and the everything was clean enough. Great value for money and the staff were nice and helpful.

    The matress was quite uncomfortable since the inlaying metal could be felt through. And there were some strange noises from the neighbourhood throughout the night.

    Super nice and friendly stuff. Really nice kitchen and common areas. Possibilitiey for pingpong and playing games. Sweet garden and laundry service.

    A few bathrooms were out of order and there was a problem with the power but I understand this was in the process of being sorted out. The host very kindly discounted our rate as a result without us even asking.

    The hosts were exceptionally friendly and willing to help as much as possible. We arrived after midnight and they very kindly allowed us to check-in very late. Communication was also great.

    An ideal holiday for a company of 4 people and with a car.

    Far from the sea. The best beach (Zvërnec) is 7.5 km away. Which is a problem for those who don't have a car. But if you have one, it's only a 20-minute drive. Apart from the distance from the beaches, there are no other disadvantages.

    I lived here for a whole month and during that time I had very few neighbors. Probably the season was not as successful as it was before Covid. But this is only a plus for me, because there are only 8 neighbors in 30 days. Almost perfectly clean housing, which I met during six months of travel. Very friendly owners. Travis' mom spoke a little Russian, which surprised me. Here you will find a large kitchen with all the equipment you need. Unless espresso lovers will suffer))) Each room has its own exit to the balcony. Various shops and cafes are very close.

    The hostel does not have a visible and big sign, it was a little bit difficult to see it.

    The hostel looks nice. The owner speaks English very well, the bed was clean and the hostel is near the main street.There is a kitchen.The rooms are spacious and the terrace is big as well.Next to shops, restaurants and bus station.

    The location is great, close to the shops and restaurants. Also, it’s like 20 minutes walk from the beach. The staff is great and really helpful. It’s a family business which adds extra value to the experience :)

    Everything was great.

    The hostel is conveniently located one street off main street, across from extensive Italian supermarket and gamma market. The hostel is updated and super clean with an excellent kitchen and dining room and heaps of extra new bathrooms. Really friendly and interesting owners, staff and guests. In my experience, this is one of the best hostels I have stayed with. Also, a really fair price.😀
