• Guillermo (10/5): PERFECT FOR A BUDGET - The staff is really nice and friendly, it’s the highlight of the place
• Helmut (1/5): HOUSE OF HORROR! - NOTHING! Dirty, scruffy, unfriendly and you feel totally unwelcome!! I have not stayed in such a sh.thole since YEAHRS! Close down this hostel or invest!
• Beki (10/5): - I can't imagine there is a better option in Tirana, for the casual traveler. The hostel staff is incredibly sweet and the atmosphere is amazing. To top it, Don't go anywhere else, this is perfect! One the best places I stayed in my entire trip of Albania.
• Emre (7/5): - Yes Personel
• Kasey (10/5): Best Hostel in Albania - Very cheap price, everybody was very friendly ! Probably my best Hostel experience ! Beds are clean and change every week. The staff were very helpful and very kind. I recommend this place 100%
• Beki (10/5): Amazing 👏 Hostel - Really good worth for your money - Staff was very friendly Clean and comfortable rooms. Helpful staff.
• Beki (10/5): Best Hostel In Tirana - The stuff helped me to resolve my problem, they were very kind, nice, I am really appreciate their help. Very clean place, good location to explore city. 100% recommend, the staff was very pleasant and helpful, it was fun to talk with them and the staff even offered me dinner.
• Shahin (4/5): Well if someone running hostel he need to keep up to data because guest does pay to say at his hostel! - The owner and his wife there really friendly and warm welcoming When I was taking shower the shower try got full so after get wash the darty water was splashing on my leg ever where, I ask the owner he said the pipe is blocked but he didn’t bother that it’s not good that his guest was not happy about it!! Same with the sink brushing my tooth and was my face but sink was getting full of darty dater not good!!!
• Muna (1/5): Not the best experience... - Honestly, I liked the location it was a 20 minutes walk from the centre and the hosts were kind and helped us with a problem with our reservation. After reading the reviews I had quite high expectations for this hostel but it was totally different in real life... The bedsheets looked used, the environment overall looked creepy, the washroom's floor was always wet and dirty, no personal sockets, no lockers... But the worst thing happened the last night we stayed there, a guy literally threw up on the floor and wouldn't want to leave the room cuz apparently he had a fight with someone! (Not recommended for solo female travelers)
• David (8/5): A good stay option - Everything
• Guillermo (9/5): -
• Cedric (7/5): -
• Guillermo (9/5): -
• Ven (7/5): - No running hot water and the shared bathrooms were generally dirty
• Amber (3/5): Unfortunately I can't recommend - The staff is entirely volunteers, and they were incredibly friendly and nice. The upstairs terrace is beautiful and has a lovely view. The WiFi works well, though is a little funky because they have a different network you have to join for each floor you might be on at any given time. The showers are hot with good water pressure. Felt very safe. Bed bugs. No matter how lovely everything else was, this was the worst part about it. Several people left early while I was there because they saw bed bugs. When I saw a bed bug my first night they told me that no one had reported them before and that maybe I was wrong. The person in the bunk under me then also saw one and took a photo to show them. They offered to move all of us into a new room and said they would wash all my clothes and fumigate the room. They took a full day before doing anything to clean and fumigate that room, which I noticed even after moving next door. They also returned my clothes still wet after washing them, and when I said that there's no point in washing if they're not dried at high heat, they said they had already tried to dry them several times. I don't understand the logic of explaining that they put effort into drying the clothes but then still returning them wet. I think the number one issue is that this place is run by volunteers and there is no paid staff that cleans the rooms. I ended up checking out a few days early because it was too much to keep seeing new guests leave when they saw bed bugs.
• Elise (7/5): -
• Cameron (9/5): - Excellent location away from touristy restaurants, instead it is close to traditional and authentic markets and merchants with delicious and cheap food. Staff are super nice, other guests are super sociable and facilities are mostly clean. No private power socket at each bunk; however there are ample sockets in the room or you can bring a power bank.
• Carta (10/5): -
• Ilir (9/5): -
• Lea-Katharina (6/5): - Günstiger Preis, Lage etwas außerhalb, aber Stadt trotzdem gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Badezimmer waren sehr heruntergekommen und teilweise nicht so sauber. Keine Steckdose am Bett (oberes Stockbett).

• Guillermo (9/5): -
• Julia (10/5): Buena estadía en Tirana! - El staff y Melisa, su anfitriona me tendieron amablemente, me comentaron del lugar y me dieron muchos tips valiosos. Las camas son cómodas y privadas, con cortinas y enchufes. El hostel siempre estaba limpio. .
• Ailin (9/5): - Súper recomendable! Nos quedamos en dos oportunidades y los chicos del hostal son súper buena onda, nos ayudaron en todo!! Gracias por la buena onda
• Manu (9/5): - Sehr nettes Personal und angenehme Gäste, die ganze Atmosphäre hat mir gut gefallen. Die Betten waren etwas hart.

• Ilir (10/5): -
• Guest (7/5): was excited - There was a very handsome employee and cleaning was done constantly It was just a little far from the center.
• Helmina Dale (8/5): Great stay. :) - The rooftop is great for chilling or getting work done on your computer. Hard to find electrical sockets in the building.
• Delgado (8/5): Muy buen hostal! - La hospitalidad y ayuda para diferentes actividades en la ciudad fue clave para disfrutar mi visita a Tirana.
• Eloise (9/5): - Good hostel, nice location (you can walk to city center but there is shop and restaurant nearby also), common area and kitchen are nice. Staff is helpfull and nice. Not really hostel fault but some peoples in the dorm are not respectfull of others sleeping time, they just keep entering loudly and packing/unpacking in the middle of the night as if it was daytime. If some decide to have party time at common area until late you will definilty hear them.. appart from that everything was ok.
• Meli (10/5): Excellent - The best part was the terrace and its view. The volunteers cooked for the guests, which was spectacular. The rooms were super comfortable, with curtains separating the beds, making them more private. We had heating and blankets to keep us warm. The bathrooms were super large and clean. My stay was very good, and I left feeling extremely happy!
• Lily-Rose (8/5): -
• Sven (9/5): - This is a very social hostel. It was easy to meet up with roommates and go out to explore the city.
• Loïs (8/5): - Rooftop, proximité, une salle de bain par étage Pas de prises, lits un peu instables
• Guest (10/5): 👍 - There is a nice chill-out zone.. I had a balcony to myself in my room, where I could get sun. The place is very spacious. The kitchen is very well-equipped.
• Hüseyin (6/5): - Aile ortamı oluşabiliyor . Telefon kutumu hostelde unuttum 4 gün sonra almaya gittim sağolsun çalışan arkadaşlar atmamış ayırmış ayrıca teşekkür ediyorum. Yorumlarda olduğu kadar iyi değildi fakat kötü diyemem sadece beklentimin altında diyebilirim yataklar daha iyi olabilir birde güneş yoksa sıcak su yok ;) bu hiç normal değil ..

• Meli (10/5): Excellent - I found it to be an excellent hostel, with all the amenities: hot water, blankets for the cold, everything very clean, a common area, a fully equipped kitchen, and an open-air smoking area ouside. The volunteers were super nice and helpful.
• Charlotte (7/5): -
• González Romero (10/5): - The experience at Hostel Albania was very nice. I was able to relax and enjoy the covered terrace with a beautiful view. The staff was very attentive and helped me with many directions. The beds and spaces were very comfortable and very clean. I will definitely return next time I'm in Tirana.
• Jennifer (6/5): Okey, but maybe only in summer. - The curtains at the bed and the terrace No appropriate duvet for the current weather No hot shower, there is solar system? But it was not sunny, and so the water is ice cold! Wifi also does not function well in the rooms…
• Gabe (10/5): Beautiful - The atmosphere was incredible. The staff where willing and friendly, always there to help. The view from the rooftop was amazing. And was 20 minutes walking from downtown. One of the best places of this type that I have ever been
• Ariel Matias (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): Excelent! - Very cozy place, I feel very comfortable there and the staff is amazing
• Carlos (10/5): -
• Laura (4/5): Nice & cheap stay if you’re not picky - The place is nice, with a cute terrasse on top and has lots of potential. The volunteers are very nice and welcoming. Not too expensive and quite close to the city center. The facilities could be renewed, the bathrooms have mold, kitchen isn’t very cleaned & no hot water. Mattresses ain’t real mattresses.

• gabriela (9/5): I highly recommend it, it is a super nice experiece! - the amosphere, the set set up for getting together both inside and outside, staff, the rooms were super clean. the bathrooms could have been cleaner
• Olivia (9/5): -
• XIAOYAN (10/5): -
• Guest (7/5): - Clean sheets, socializing places. Personal was just way too informal and was not really friendly. For example first they give a bed and room and I have settled then they have changed my room and bed without giving a reason.
• Andrei (10/5): Очень рекомендую этот хостель. Соотношение цена/качество на высоком уровне - Очень дружелюбный персонал. Все общие площади и комнаты очень чистые Можно было бы обновить душевые кабинки
• Priscila (10/5): - Voluntários muito atenciosos e prestativos, tem cortina nas camas e uma gaveta grande para fazer de locker (leve seu cadeado). Adorei o churrasco que foi feito para todos.
• David (10/5): It was excellent - Comfortable, suitable and sustainable …
• Brian (7/5): Needs improvement - Quiet and good common areas. Staff seemed apathetic and uncaring. Kitchen kind of a mess. Only 2 of 4 stoves worked. I had to switch beds because mine had no plug! Easily could be fixed with a power strip, but read sentence one again. The wifi in room 3 was weak and terrible because it's too far from the access point. Bed shakes like an earthquake.
• Vadym (10/5): -
• Mareesa (8/5): - Good basic hostel for a good price. Beds comfortable. Easy 20min walk to the center of town. I walked alone at night and did not feel unsafe. Very close to grocery stores and multiple restaurants and cafes. Kitchen is reasonable, top floor balcony is a lovely space to relax. Not a lot of atmosphere.
• Tereza (10/5): -
• Tereza (10/5): - Bezvadný personál! Nápomocný, vždy ochotný. Změnili mé přenocování v naprosto nečekané a unikátní zážitky z dovolené. Budu dlouho vzpomínat na několik bezvadných dní v Tiraně a okolí. 15/10 :D VELMI doporučuji všem cestovatelům, kteří si večer rádi předávají zážitky a zkušenosti z cest. Hostel se dá využít i jako zázemí pro práci 'z domova'. Střechu jsem po tolika nachozených km přes den nenavštívila, ale zahradní posezení s personálem a ostatními hosty, bylo opravdu nad očekávání příjemné. Hostel plný zajímavých lidí! 🤩
• Yauheni (10/5): -
• Kexiu (9/5): 适合等签证居住的青旅 - 等签证需要几个星期,这里公共活动区域比较多，厨房自由。最让我喜欢的一点是，老板和员工都是夜猫，如果你是喜欢凌晨一两点后睡眠的人，特别适合这里。有一堆人跟你畅聊，半夜你也可以独自在公共区域待着玩手机，健身，不用担心影响什么人。这是个让我越住越喜欢的地方。有的青旅公共区域太小，不能做饭，适合作为中转站住一两天，住长了会压抑。这里适合因为某个原因需要在地拉那居住上3天以上的人。 浴室条件一般，总体满意。

My stay was very pleasant; I will definitely return.
• Leticia (7/5): Good -
• Maksutik (10/5): Perfect place to start your journey - Hostel Albania is a beautiful little Hostel. The atmosphere is very welcoming from the moment you enter. Quite and a bit off the track but perfect for a good night sleep or for endless chats on the roof terrace. Arrived late but was picking up at the airport.
• Anonymous (10/5): Hidden Gem - Hidden Gem. Perfect Hostel if you don't like a Party Hostel and want to stay in a clean and comfortable environment. The staff is incredible friendly.
