    My feeling is that everything i could have wanted was provided to me by staying at this hostel. The staff was extremely helpfull, i felt so welcomed and safe and i had so much fun doing what they had recomended me to do both in Skhoder but also after i had left. Apart from this the hostel was clean, they had a nice breakfast and all of this for a very good price. In other Words i strongly recomend this hostel and wish for you that go that you have as an amazing experience as i had!

    It’s a great hostel, with curtains and sockets next to each bed but I would suggest improving the bathrooms. Broken shower head etc, but did not distract from an amazing stay.

    It’s in a very good location, just off the Main Street and minutes walking towards bus stops to other cities. Bus stop from Kotor was very close. laundry was 2 to 3 euros. You can hire bikes here too. There’s a very chill space to relax (especially during the 38 degrees days!). In the 3 nights I was there, the hostel arranged drinking games, ‘happy hour’ (which was a buffet of food for 3euros) and karaoke. But don’t worry about your sleep, the rooms are across the street away from the reception building. The best thing about this hostel is the staff. for every newcomer they explain IN DETAIL how to complete the Valbona-Theth hike. Break down all costs and you can arrange it through them. Unfortunately the rain put me off this but they helped me with Shala River cruise, bus to Theth and accommodation there and how to get to Tirana. Bonus points for the staff who was on same bus as me to Tirana and helped me in Tirana on how to get a bus to centre

    The atmosphere in the hostel is absolutely awesome, staff is really firendly and helpful. They'll give you tips and help you to organize a trip if you wanna go to Valbone or Theth. It was my first time staying at a hostel solo, and the whole experience was just to die for. Location of the hostel is great, very close to the centre. Regarding bedrooms, every bed has got curtains, there are lockable cupboards and AC works well.

So good that it has laundry facilities and WIFI that works. This hostel has great vibes and is a perfect meeting place for travelers in Albania or generally the Balkans.

    Best hostel in Shkoder

    I like everything in here. If there's one thing to improve, it would be great if they have a board or a list showing who's signing up for the hike on the next days. There were many solo travelers and it would be great for that.

    The check-in was smooth and the staffs takes their time to make sure you know what's around in Shkoder. Rooms are clean, comes with curtain and bathrooms are clean too. The common area is the cool and a good place for you to escape the heat in the summer. They have a bar and night activities at the common area, and also have free drinking water. Many people come here to do the Theth-Valbona hike(vice versa), they also help to arrange that. I didn't plan to do it, and eventually I did it thanks to the encouragement from one of the staff. Not to mention there's free breakfast and they do laundry and also renting bike.

    Would be nice if the outdoor space could be smoke free.

    The staff were lovely, the vibe was excellent and the beds comfy. I really liked how the rooms were separate from the common area, so you could be noisy at the bar and still have quiet in the rooms!

    Wow!! What an incredible stay! This hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed in. The staff are so incredibly helpful and informative. They helped us organise the valbona-theth hike, things to do in Shkoder and other transport. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and well looked after. Great community area. Fantastic wifi. Laundry for only 2 euro. Highly recommended and would stay again.

    The upper bunk beds were a bit inconvenient, with nowhere to keep your phone or belongings. Overall it didn't affect the experience much tho.

    Amazing hostel right in the center of Shkodra. It probably has the best atmosphere that I've ever seen in a hostel. The place is full of backpackers and solo travellers, and it's very easy to meet people. The common area is the best part, with a bar, good breakfast, table tennis, karaoke nights etc. It's worth going to Shkodra just for the hostel.

    Shower wasn’t great one morning but may have been water problem in the town. I fell out my top bunk and have hurt my knee, may have been over compensating for the big gap between the bed and the wall and fell the other side. Maybe something to look into to push the beds against the wall more

    Great accommodation. Free breakfast was amazing such a range. We had one night where we had free dinner and all night raki, was brilliant fun. The staff were really friendly. Bar on site very cheap. Rooms across from the hostel common area a good idea for more quiet.

    This place should be top 1 on every chart, all thanks to incredibly cheerful and thoughtful hosts / hostesses! I had a million questions - they answered them in the most elaborate manner. I wanted to do some cycling - they provided a bike (for mindbogglingly cheap 3 euros). I wanted to have breakfast - they served it two times for free. I didn't even know this place had it! I wanted some company - the guys hosted a karaoke evening, partied until 1am in the morning, played table tennis, and even had a bar open for everyone. A must-stay hostel if you're in shkoder.

    only minor thing is the size of the dorms with all the stuff, but who hangs out in the rooms anyways with a great garden like this!

    Very nice hostel with a good athmosphere! The common areas were great and the garden had a cozy vibe. The daily activities made meeting other travellers very easy and fun! The breakfast was good, the rooms and bathrooms were clean, and everything seemed to work well. The staff also helped organize a shuttle to Theth.
