Everything is clean and well organized. Free breakfast was OK. Thing I liked the most is the check in/welcome/introduction.

Gani is an incredible host and really makes you feel at home! I visited mid September and had the whole guesthouse to myself. And breakfast was quite the spread!

I enjoyed my stay very much. Brand new hostel with new and modern facilities, hotel quality pillows and mattresses. Amazing beds with thick curtains that don’t creak. Ended up staying a 9 days. Reviews say it’s not social but it is. I met so many wonderful people and it’s super easy to meet people in the common area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Probably on of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at, not just very tastefully decorated but also very comfortable and cosy. And the staff is for sure the kindest ever, they are very attentive and nice. I wish we had one more day in Gjirokäster so we could spend more time in the hostel!

    This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were super friendly and helpful, even offering great insights into day trips around the area that weren’t online. Would highly recommend!

    The best hostel I have stayed at in Albania! Staff were amazing and very helpful! Dormitories were great, bathrooms were clean and modern. The breakfast each morning is perfect, and the hostel itself is well set up. Attracts a good group of backpackers, had a great time. Will definitely be back. Also the cocktail night they held had the best G&Ts
