- saurabh (8/5): Good hostel with lovely people. - The hotel staff was very good and really helpful Disi was always ready to help and go beyond so give us a great experience. He gave us a shot when there was no electricity. There was no electricity on one night and it wasn't until the morning electricity didn't got fixed they brought up the generator but it was not enough to provide the electricity to the whole hostel and we ended up having to sleep without electricity, it was not their fault but they could have managed a better way.

- Youness (10/5): - Excellent emplacement, personnel sympa et serviable. Le manager est particulièrement impliqué et m'a aidé à organiser mes excursions à la journée. Je recommande vivement ! Rien à signaler
- Jervz (5/5): Wrong confirmation. - Breakfast included in the price. One thing I didn't like was they confirmed to me that they will give me a lower bed but when I arrived they said that it was not possible because it was full. Okay I understand but i even ask if i can have the lower bed and they confirmed it to me and in addition to that the bed didn't have the curtain while the other beds have.

- Larissa (8/5): Bom custo benefício - Localização não tão longe da praça principal, há mercados e comércio nos arredores. Equipe gentil, cama confortável, armário com chave do hostel, quarto tem um bom espaço. Há atividades à noite, para quem gosta de algo mais agitado é uma boa opção, mas também acaba tendo bastante barulho nesses horários. Café da manhã incluso não tem muitas opções, mas suficiente, se desejar pode pagar jantar no local (7e). Para todos os pagamentos em cartão há uma taxa de 1e. Apenas um banheiro no último andar e não estava em tão boas condições. A noite alguns eventos são mais agitados, se não quer algo nesse sentido e prefira silêncio e ambiente mais calmo, não é o recomendado.
- Steven (4/5): More of a party than chill hostel - Nice location, a small walk from the city centre. Wholesome breakfast. Staff were helpful. Loud music/karaoke went until midnight and then people were chatting in the common areas for an hour after that. Strong cigarette smoke from the common areas wafted into the bedroom.
- Aderopo (5/5): Okay - Even though I didn’t attend any, the hostel had a good social atmosphere with daily evening events. It was ideal for people who wanted to make friends.
They had a daily cleaner for the communal area. The bathroom was basic except for toilet paper and handwashing liquid, there was a permanent stain in the toilet bowl that does not respond to cleaning and you need to provide your own toiletries.

- Jeferson David (9/5): - It’s good location, people and staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food was incredible and the areas around to sit down and chill are perfect
- Gani (10/5): - Nana is the best! She makes the best breakfast!. I love all the staff, they were nothing short of perfect. As a solo traveller, I felt safe. Honestly, nothing, they kind to me,

- Liara (10/5): - Lo que más me gustó fue las actividades que organizan en las noches porque me permitió conocer personas geniales de todo el mundo. La comida riquísima, la cama muy cómoda y el personal son todos muy amables y con la mejor onda. Los baños pueden mejorar un poco, pero la verdad estuve conforme
- Abdelrahman Ahmed Tawfik (9/5): - Location is 10 mins away from the center, guys and even guests are very hospitable, funny and helpful.
The atmosphere is not like a typical hostel, and they organize lots of activities and events, also the small garden is a good plus.

- Velasco (10/5): OPCIÓN EXCEPCIONAL PARA TIRANA - La ubicación del hostel es excepcional, a 10 minutos de la plaza central y de la estación de autobuses. Así mismo, en la calle de acceso hay varias tiendas de alimentación y supermercados. El personal es muy amable y servicial, tratando de ayudarte en cualquier momento. El ambiente es muy bueno, tratando de organizar actos para que los huéspedes nos conozcamos entre nosotros. Del mismo modo, tiene una pequeña terraza perfecta para descansar, y el desayuno es SÚPER!!!!!
- Andreas (10/5): -

- WAI YIN (9/5): Social hostel and good food - The hostel vibe is nice. Free delicious breakfast and paid dinner by Nana. Very social hostel, easy to meet people. There is activities being arranged every night. There is only one toilet for each floor share with a lot of people. Bathroom in the top floor is always wet.
- Helena (10/5): Melhor hostel em Tirana - Localização excelente e a equipe é espetacular. Disi, Daniel, Andreas, Mimi, Leo e Erald são todos incríveis! A comida é bem gostosa. O ambiente acolhedor e pacífico. Todos muito gentis. Tornaram minha estadia na Albânia ainda mais espcial.

- Wojciech (10/5): - Very friendly staff, especially Kano. Very clean and good value for the moeny
- Gregroy (10/5): Quirky, cosy, welcoming, a safe haven - Quirky, cosy, welcoming, a safe haven for travellers who are looking for a place to stay in the heart of Tirana.
Must give a shout out to Kano who was not only helpful and hardworking but also a pleasure to talk to, be it advice on the Tirana itself or life as a nomadic human. Nothing really
- Emīlija Mia (8/5): Will visit again mainly because of staff there and the activities - It was my first stay at hostel and I absolutely loved it, the staff (volunteers) were amazing and tried to help me however they can, bunk beds were comfortable and talking about the light (if u close your curtains and u are on the bed on the first floor u cannot see any light so that is good, but memorable experience, will visit again! Nothing I really didn’t like

- Tan Batı (7/5): -
- niharika (10/5): - AMAZING! located close to the square! easy access! the hostel is a total vibe! so friendly welcoming! the traditional food is truly a cherry on top! THE VOLUNTEERS are the friendliest bunch! amanda, naomi, melodi!!! loveliest girls❤️ totally making this my go to spot!
- Petre (10/5): -
- David (8/5): Good value and good vibe! - The staff was excellent! Melodi was friendly as was the entire staff. My room and mattress had both seen better days.

- Pernia (10/5): Perfecto - Todo, increíble la atención de los voluntarios Todo perfecto
- Błaszczyk (10/5): - Atmosfera i ludzie w tym miejscu sprawia, że na pewno tam wrócę. Nana’s food, and fireplace
- Nur Hazimah (10/5): The best hostel I’ve stayed at—social, friendly volunteers, big rooms, amazing food, and fun karaoke nights! - This is by far the best hostel I’ve stayed at—so social and lively! I met so many new friends. The volunteers were super helpful and really nice. The rooms are big and comfortable. Nana’s food was amazing—breakfast is free, and dinner is just €7, filling and delicious, plus it comes with a variety of drinks so you don’t have to buy anything outside. I absolutely loved the karaoke night! nothing
- Rayeva (10/5): - One of my best experiences in the hostel ever. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was amazing.
- Paul (10/5): - Easy to get to, staff was very accommodating for my short stay... I should have spent more time in Tirana.
- Christopher (10/5): - The perfect culmination of Albanian hospitality and travelers with fascinating life perspectives to imprint on your soul. The ideal layout to both relax and socialize for a fun evening, both at the same time, or separately, depending on your emotional wavelength. Breakfast is exceptional, you can sit there, quietly contemplating the forces of life, or participate in the conversation. The ideal balance of longer term residents and short term guests, so your soul can be both witnessed and rinsed with the pristine glacial water of new spirits. And in the cold hard world of rational logic, everything is clean and in pristine working order. The perfect place to come if you want to figure out your life / work on creative projects / experience the mysticism of Albania / or anything that fulfills your heart's purpose. If you are reading this, you're meant to come here.
