    If I had to mention something, I would say the room ventilation. Yet, I highly recommend this place.

    The property is exactly the same as shown in the photos. The room were very well equipped and the host was very kind making sure everything was all right.

    I have to say that this place is just amazing. Great location, only few meters from the Bazaar, few meters from the airportbus bus stop, few meters from the centre. It is super clean, bed are very comfy with nice and clean linen, you get your own towel as well. The guy who operates the property is super nice, smiling and around if you need anything. I can highly recommend this place.

    This is not the hostel's fault, but if you take a taxi to get there and the driver uses Google maps, have him search for Vila 101 instead. Google will send you to the wrong place otherwise and the Hostel tells you this in advance. :)

    Stayed a week. Great bed. Super helpful host. Great value for money. Will come back again anytime I am in Tirane.

    Great location 5 min. walk from the airport bus stop in the city center and Skenderbeg square, but still in a quite side, no traffic noise in the night. Comfortable beds with full privacy thanks to the curtains. Clean bathrooms, fast wifi. The friendly owner is permanently on the side and helps whenever needed. My best recommendation.

    Nothing not to like.

    Cute place. No breakfast, but you can get something to eat very close by. The location is great! right in the city center and close to where the bus drops you from the airport., same place you ll take the bus back to the airport. The host is wonderful and very knowledgeable. He ll give you advise about where to visit, restaurants to go eat and activities one can do. Everything is so so clean. I hope this standard is maintained as l know the hostel is quite new.

    This hostel was an absolute gem! First of all, the beds, wow. I’m not saying I’ve peaked in life, but after sleeping on one of those cloud-like mattresses, it’s all downhill from here. I fell asleep faster than you can say “Albania,” and woke up wondering if I could smuggle the bed into my backpack. But the real MVP here is Elkid, the owner. Not only is he one of the nicest people I’ve met on my travels, but the guy is basically a walking encyclopedia of Albania. He gave amazing tips, told great stories, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had an awesome stay. Oh, and the facilities? Spotless. Like, “could-eat-off-the-bathroom-floor” clean (don’t do it, but you could). Everything was tidy, fresh, and well taken care of. 10/10 would stay again. Actually, can I just live here?

    There’s a common area but, there was someone sleeping there. So probably around 11pm-12am you have to be in bed. Cause even though they will not restrict you from staying there you (or I) just don’t feel comfortable staying around, keeping the lights on or speaking on the phone when someone is sleeping right next to you. Also If you need to be outside after 11pm-12am, make sure you request a key at the reception beforehand as they lock the main door. None of these were issues for me actually but I thought it is worth mentioning.

    I had a great stay. Perfect location, very clean and they even provided a towel at no extra charge. The staff were really nice and welcoming. Elkid and Jordan were so friendly. They gave me many recommendations to make the most of my trip both in Albania and across the other balkan countries.
