Guest Reviews
- Santhosh krishnan (10/5): - Danes the host is a lovely guy. Its a lovely hostel which so cozy and lovely place to stay.
If you want to party contact the host. He can take you personally so its a go to hostel if you wanna have a good time. No e
- Serghei (9/5): -
- Ymke (9/5): Alles voorhanden, gezellig hostel. - Vriendelijk personeel die bijzonder hulpvaardig waren. Ondanks het late inchecken door een vertraagde vlucht was dit geen probleem. Duidelijke communicatie met de hosts.
- Sofian (9/5): Un hostel comme on les aime ! - Accueil au top (merci Dimitri & Denis !). C’est un hostel où il fait vraiment bon vivre. Je n’y suis resté qu’une nuit car j’avais mon avion tôt le lendemain matin, mais aucun regret : excellent rapport qualité-prix. L’endroit est propre, convivial, avec des personnes respectueuses et intéressantes. L’ambiance donne envie d’y rester plus longtemps, on s’y sent rapidement à l’aise. Je recommande sans hésiter et j’y retournerai avec plaisir si l’occasion se présente ! N/A
- Guillaume (6/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): - Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt im Maison D‘artiste und es hatte einen gewissen „WG-Charakter“. Wir hatten das Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad gebucht und waren auch froh über diese Rückzugsmöglichkeit. Das Zimmer war ästhetisch künstlerisch eingerichtet, was uns gut gefallen hat.
Besonders die Gastgeber waren sehr hilfsbereit und stets erreichbar. Leider war es manchmal in der Küche nicht so sauber. In der Zeit, wo wir uns in der Küche aufgehalten haben, haben viele der Gäste ihr Geschirr nicht abgespült. Außerdem war die Ausstattung in der Küche wirklich sehr spärlich.
- Ane (7/5): -
- pascazio (10/5): Convenient and well placed - Staff (Dimitri) is very helpful and accomodating. His valuable tips made my stay worthwhile. There is a 24 hours affordable restaurant across the road with traditional Albanian food. 20 min walk to town but pleasant and with plemty of caffes to visits on the way
- Lorenz (10/5): - Schön eingerichtet, gute Wohnung, stabile Betten, entspannte Lage
- Intasar (10/5): Cosy, clean and comfy - Nice, clean and comfy hostel.
- Ricardo (7/5): - O ambiente é agradável e o hostel é bem localizado. Tive que subir 7 andares com as malas para chegar ao hostel porque o elevador só funciona com senha. Isso poderia ser informado aos hóspedes no momento da reserva. Também só tem um banheiro para todos os quartos.

- Sandris (8/5): Very good -
- Wendy (2/5): Very poor - If you enjoy a carnival and men with a carnival personality, this is the place for you! The "artist" is an extraordinary Albanian kindergarten painter who runs a hostel by day, a speakeasy den of carnival drugs, bad liquor, and sex by night. He brags about sexual exploits with young females he will "never marry," while his hunchbacked employee will try to align the young female guests to have sex with the hostel owner. The hunchbacked employee is a kind sort, who for his master, Dennis, will break your belongings, engage sex hookups for his master, and also either break your personal property or clean it for a fee, alternatively. One suspects they are closet satanists.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Admin (9/5): Superb - Co-Host (Dimitri)was great, very nice young lad.
- Il051 (10/5): Perfect place - It's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Its location is great, you have everything you need within 200-300 meters. It's spotless, because Dimitri takes care of everyting on daily basis. Interior is really special and cozy and the balcony is a great place to hang out and take a rest. Kitchen is also well equipped.
- Adnan (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice and clean roam, amazing helpful customer service
- Lucie (4/5): Had to leave, better pay more money for better spot - Staff was friendly and helpfull Very unhygienic everything
Towel provided for 1 euro smelled very badly
Quite hard to find location
Noisy
Uncomfy bed
- Patrick (9/5): Great host, good value place - Great host, always helpful and responsive- couldn't have asked for more on that front. Easy check in and out. Parking available underground for €5 a night that was easy to organise. Fairly comfortable room with a table and chairs too, clean bathroom. Accessible location near to places to eat out, supermarkets etc. Bed and pillows weren't particularly comfortable, just okay. Fairly quiet location on the 7th floor even with bars around but noise does echo
- Farzad (9/5): Great hostel, would recommend - Clean, well priced, good location, helpful staff, good air con and hot water, full kitchen The bunk beds did not feel super sturdy, especially when on the top bed

- Alan (10/5): Everything is perfect good people Hospitality,Helpful.Denis and Dimitri is very good people, Thank you for your service. - Everything Nothing
- Altin (7/5): Good -
- Romy (10/5): Too short;) - · I loved the openess of the people there and the very friendly and welcoming staff, Dimitri and Denis.
I enjoyed the huge common spaces and the balcony, and the style of the house full of art. They even inited me to draw something myself and we tried some Rakia together.
The kitchen is huge and all the spaces were very clean. My friend was a little to long for his bed, afraid to put his feet on the next persons pillow.
Some little things could still be added, like some hooks or deposit space and a storage space for toilet paper in the bathroom.
- Samyak (10/5): Really nice experience. - Maison d’artiste in Tirana is a wonderful hostel that offers a unique and artistic atmosphere. The space itself is beautifully decorated, with inspiring art pieces scattered throughout, making it a perfect retreat for creatives. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with local tips or to lend a hand. The hostel is also spotlessly clean, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in a vibrant and creative space! There was nothing as such we didn't like.
- Simeonovska (8/5): Very good - Spacious living room and specious and clean bathroom. Good location.
- Bahadır (1/5): Bad - Dimitri is the best worker. The owner of hostel can threat you. He can say ‘Tirana is small I’ll find you and beat you’. And he always talks like a racist.
- Alfredo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): Best hostel I've been in Europe - The best hostel I've been in Europe by far. Denis and Dimitri, host and manager, are amazing people, I'm really greatful I could met them. The vibe of the place is 10/10, it's like a big appartment so you feel like home. Kitchen is nice and the common room and balcony so comfortable. The bathroom extremely clean, you can see they take their work seriously. In the middle of Tirana so location is perfect. The only thing is I had the only bed without a plug, if they can fix that then it will be a 11 out of 10. Thank you so much Dimitri and Denis, definetly I will come back.
- Телегенов (10/5): Everything was perfect. One of the best hostels I ve been so far…definitely will be back. - Stuff was super nice and kind. Location is great too.
- Juliet (7/5): Good - Rooms are fine.Toilets are clean. Reasonably good location Kitchenette Messy. Not enough Utensils.
No shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom.
- Ermanno (10/5): Exceptional - Dimitri is incredible. Very hard working. An example of human being.
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional - A very fun artistic vibe
- Jefferson (5/5): Zero hostel vibes - you are a guest in someone's private home - Friendly, gregarious host who let me store some stuff overnight (as I spent one night in Ohrid) and also offered me a cocktail on the house. Big private bathroom, privacy curtain and light for each bunk. Lockers and towels available for free. He didn't give me the code to enter and wasn't there when I arrived - fortunately another guest let me in so I could drop my heavy bags. He also didn't greet me or take my payment until later that night. This is not a hostel, but rather his private apartment in which he converted one bedroom into a room with 3 bunk beds / 6 beds. There's only one bathroom as a result. He regularly hosts friends late into the night, which can get noisy for guests sleeping. Also not close to the centre - a 25-minute walk to Skanderbeg Square. I slept well, personally, but this was not the ideal hostel for me.
- Vincent (10/5): We even left with our own personal artworks from our host. Fantastic experience. -
- Abdul (9/5): Superb - The staff was so nice. Very helpful. They are very cooperative. The room was so clean and tidy
- Francisco (10/5): Exceptional - Good location. Very nice staff and beautiful arts.
- S (7/5): Thanks - Large kitchen On seventh’s floor, elevator is no working sometimes.
- Germoglio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julián (10/5): Exceptional - This hostal has all what you need. It’s spacious, comfortable and the guest is super kind. He will help you with everything there. Location is perfect for visiting the best places of Tirana and is quite near to the bus terminal. Bathroom, living room and bedroom are really big, clean and well equipped.
- Anonymous (8/5): Mmmh.. - Fair price, location close to airport, busterminal north-south and city center Only one bathroom for the dorms, everything seemed a little bit unclean...
- Dhimitri (10/5): Magic hostel - Everything was wonderful, the staff and the boss are very good
This hostel, apart from being very good, is a magical piece of art
I felt at home, thank you very much for everything
I invite all of you who want a place to feel at home and all those who like art
Thank you so much
You are the best Hostel

Nice big kitchen area
Comfy beds Was hard to find at first

The position is top, you can walk and you arrive in the city centre. Anyway the apartment is sorrund by bar, cafe and restaurants.
- Stacey (10/5): Exceptional - The place is immaculate and the staff were very generous in sharing their space and being flexible with check out 😁 Nothing

- Qerraxhija (10/5): Exceptional - Great place ! Great people !
- Jovan (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, polite and communicative. The hostel is quite clean. A bit hard to locate, but with the guidence from the host everything goes smoothly. Perfect for few days stay in Tirana.
- Lynn (2/5): De host was not there during my stay and I had to pay by putting money in a jar. We were supposed to book a taxi to get - De host was not there during my stay and I had to pay by putting money in a jar. We were supposed to book a taxi to get to the airport but this never happened
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - The best hostel in the world ,!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really happy when Denis the host send me the code and I made self check in. Beeds are really comfortable, the coffe also .my all the decor in details made by an artist I really loved that place you also have bikes for rent , and also the artist is one of the best host in the world . Thank you Denis for your hospitality I will come back for sure :) ah oui il parle aussi Francais :) Nothing
- Luo (9/5): Comfortable - 1. The host is very helpful, come to pick me up downstairs when I firstly arrived and coul don’t find the location;
2. Room is quite clean, there is hair dryer, curtain on the bed;
3. Roommates are very friendly and ready to help; 1. Location not very close to the center, need to walk a bit; but there are some nice bars and bistros downstairs, bus station also close;
2. Only 1 toilet for 8 ppls;
3. Roommates may hv calls late at night, could be better if there are rules to regulate.
- Alexandar (10/5): Great experience - Great location and host, friendly environment and great comfortable single room.
- Yoshifumi (3/5): Worst night spent in Albania - clean and good ac
good view from the balcony Dennis, the owner, came home late at night and when he found out I was a web designer, he asked me to fix a bug on his blog
I did it with good intentions. But despite saying he'd be back soon, he didn't come back, and when I went to the toilet, he was having a nice night with his girlfriend in the room (The noise could be heard outside)
He didn't even say thank you or apologize until I checked out (He woke up later than check-out time. No consideration for guests' time)
From the reviews here, he is good when he is good. But when he's not, it's a lousy experience.
That depends on his mood.
What does beautiful mean to you?
- Catalina (10/5): Literally, feel comfortable as your home. - There’s a lot of space, and accommodation details, softy beds, and perfect for stay and work, or relax as well. It literally feels as comfortable as your home. Host is nice, and guess too.
- Shady (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel is basically an apartment. The host is very welcoming.
- Dione (8/5): Good, calm and good host. - Denis is a good host, the place is well located and the hostel is quiet. I stayed for one night and felt safe and comfortable as a woman. The beds could have curtains for privacy and ideally sockets to charge your cell phone while you are in them.
- Zoe (6/5): Pleasant - The art. The kitchen.
- Hasan (8/5): Very good -
- Aboelyousr (10/5): Very Convenient! - Denis is very hospitable and smart guy. He can guide you all around Tirana and provide you with bikes for rental as well 😍
- Federico (4/5): Interrupted sleep, kind welcome, wouldn’t repeat - The room has ac. The property is very well located with plenty of restaurants and small markets around. Within minutes in a car you’ll reach the bus terminal. The host was friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The night was very interrupted by loud noises and lights turned on by the host and his company. Around 2am the door of our dorm was opened with loud noises and left wide open for no clear reason while three guests were trying to sleep.
When we left very early and tried to silently pack our belongings in the “lobby”/entrance, we found someone sleeping on the couch in the living room and snoring very loudly. It was not clear if this person was a guest. This combined with the loud noises and movement of the night created an odd environment.
The bathroom wasn’t very clean.
- Anna (10/5): Good place in a perfect location - Very friendly people. You feel welcomed. And they have elevator :) It's very basic. But you can see it on photo and by price so it’s okay
- Hladini (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): Great place and amazing host - Best Hostel in the world and Denis is a nice and welcoming host. I even got tasty Albanian breakfast. I can definitely recommend staying here :)
- Kritika (10/5): Amazing place and exceptional host!!!! - My stay at this place was absolutely amazing. From the moment I got there, the host (Denis) was extremely kind and welcoming. Not only did he make the hostel feel like home but he actually felt like family too. He cooked pasta for everyone one of the nights which was amazing. Also unfortunately, I got really sick during my stay here and Denis personally took me to a hospital and pharmacy and made sure that I was feeling well which I’m so so grateful for. Not only is he a good host, but also a great human, couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!! I ended up extending my stay because of my sickness and Denis truly felt like my brother/best friend by the end of this stay. My trip to Albania was only memorable because of my stay here and I’m so thankful that I chose this place.
The property is at a prime location with lots of food places, local farmers market, grocery stores, restaurants and cafes around. It’s clean and tidy, has a personal kitchen, cabinets to store your items and laundry machine. It’s about 25 minutes from the city center but there’s a local bus stop right next to the property!
- Ob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Calum (10/5): Exceptional - A very comfortable hostel to relax at where I truly felt at home! The host was a super friendly dude, hooking us up with Espresso and raki to start out day. The beds were some of the comfiest bunks I've slept in, and the views from the balcony were great! Communication from the host was great too - finding the place was easy, and he helped me find somewhere to print some documents. Overall, would highly recommend :) Nothing - everything was perfect.
- Mitchro (10/5): Exceptional - You somehow feel like home
- Belma (10/5): Amazaing.... - Perceft location and perfect time

He was super nice toward me and made sure if i am safe, happy and comfortable. He gave me his own conputer, prepared a breakfast, dinner and list goes on… ı wasnt expect that.. i cannot imagine even much more 🥹Thanks Deniss you and Maison D’artiste made my Albanian holiday unforgettable!! A full package hostel 💯🫶
- Jordan (10/5): A stunning jewel in an already beautiful city - Located in a stunningly gorgeous neighborhood, this hostel is conveniently situated near numerous important amenities such as restaurants, public transportation, grocery stores, and more. It is incredibly close to the international bus station, while also being a short walk from Skanderbeg Square; however, if needed, bicycles are available for rent at reasonable prices!
Meanwhile, the hostel owner is incredibly generous, kind, helpful, respectful, and eager to share his culture with his guests while readily adapting to their needs, wishes, and desires. Staying at this hostel permits you to have an authentic experience of what Albanian hospitality truly resembles, with the owner warmly welcoming guests with open arms and treating them like family by sharing genuine Albanian food and drinks (evidently, this experience is very hard to find elsewhere).
The location is impeccably clean, well-furnished, well-organized, and in great condition. Moreover, the hostel's price is very reasonable considering the exceptional services provided; I would have easily paid double. The owner does sleep in the same room as you, but remember, this is a hostel, and with how unique and friendly the owner is, it is basically like sleeping in the same room as your best friend.
My favourite aspects of the hostel were the breathtaking views from the balconies (there are two!!!), the opportunities to learn about Albanian history and culture from the owner, and the incredibly comfortable beds. I enjoyed my stay so much that I ended up extending it by an additional 5 days.
Maintenant, pour ceux qui parlent français, je voudrais dire que Denis (le propriétaire) est un vrai mec. Il parle plutôt bien français, et ce fut une expérience rafraîchissante de pouvoir communiquer en français tout en voyageant dans les Balkans. Aimable, généreux, authentique et hilarant, séjourner dans cette auberge est une expérience unique qui créera certainement des souvenirs affectueux et mémorables. There was nothing I did not like! Although criticism is an integral aspect of my culture and my personal identity, I was unable to find anything I disliked. I simply cannot wait to return to Tirana and stay at this location again!
- Elise (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host! We got a drink when we arrived and he painted a t-shirt for us! He does sleep in the same room as the guest but he feels immidiatly like a brother to you, very friendly!
- E.noreddine (10/5): Exceptional - L'artiste was so welcoming and friendly, the house was perfect
- Dilber (1/5): Bad - The guy sended me a private message asking when exactly i am coming to the accommodation. I told him that i dont know myself cuz i am new in the city he insisted on knowing the time. When i got there he wasnt there. Only there was a house which is hardly be told to be a decent place legal hostel or sth. It was practically a small apartment in which there were erotic pictures and pictures seem to look to be bloody. It was smelling all pork and dirty socks and although there supposed to be a place to be set for me all the beds were unmade and messy. It looked like a satan worshippers place.

- Usmaan (10/5): Exceptional - When I first arrived the hostel owner was very accommodating and helping. Offered me a glass of raki which was great. We also played some games and had good laughs together. Also helped me to get from the airport to the city 🏙️. Made great breakfast and took me to some great places around the neighbourhood.
Told me about the great new things that I can do and visit around in Albania. Treats people like family and is a very good artist if you like you art. Very chilled place and great to be around. Please stay here you will not regret it.
