    I loved everything

    The most fun hostel I've ever been to. I made so many good memories. Thank you so much to Chuck, Bambi and Kirstyn. They are so fun and loving. I have a second home in Albania.

    Nothing really stands out

    The hostel has really nice room with comfy beds so it was a great sleep. Also has a kitchen, bar and a really nice outside area where people can both chill and chat or have drinks and party, so it has all you need.

    I just got back from the best stay at this hostel! The facilities were awesome—everything was clean and the beds were super comfortable. It was great value for money. The staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home, which was a huge plus. The vibe was amazing, with a daily activity and then an evening activity which gave you the chance to meet so many cool people. If you’re looking to party and have a blast, this is definitely the place to be! I’ll definitely be back, thank you for the best time :)

    The hostel is in a great location, a few minutes walking from the city center and from the main bus stop and close to shops like bakery, supermarket, etc. The staff is really helpful, well informed and kind, they helped me with everything I needed for my stay and also helped me organize a trip to Valbona. It's a great place to socialize and have fun, but I could also find quiet spots to work when I needed to. Everything was clean and tidy at all times, the kitchen is huge, well equipped and can accommodate several guests at the same time, the beds were comfortable, with big lockers next to them. I highly recommend it.

    Daily activities around shkoder and nightly outings was the perfect mix of wholesome and messy. My first couple nights even though I was one of the only guests all the staff made me feel like part of the family immediately (big up Paige, Em, Autumn, Francis, Dani, Alex, Lea, Rhys and Randy y’all absolutely made my stay and shoutout Freddy for the family dinners)! Kieran was a legend too, helped so much planning the rest of my trip which I would’ve sincerely struggled to book on my own. Even on the night it flooded we made it out to a bar and if nothing else this was the best place to enjoy a cheap raki or two :)

    very friendly atmosphere and warm welcome. Immediately felt at home. Convient location close to the roundabout where most busses leave. We only stayed for one night, so we couldn't participate in any of the activities they organize, but I could imagine it to be a very good place for solo travellers

    Staff were very accommodating, they gave us a tour sith the area, gave us welcome drink (Rakiyaa) and helped us to sorr transportations for our way around. The hostel organizes daily activities as well bringing all guests together, so if you come as a solo traveller there wont be ang problem at all. Overall, I enjoyed my stay ☺️ Highly recommended!
