Guest Reviews
- Andrea (7/5): Il proprietario è stato davvero una manna dal cielo, perché dopo aver subito una truffa presso un altro hotel, abbiamo p - Accoglienza , posizione L’unica pecca il bagno condiviso
- Stella (8/5): - Logement très bien situé par rapport au centre-ville. Rapport qualité/prix satisfaisant, bien pour passer 1 ou 2 nuits à prix très bas. Il manquait juste de draps dans le lits. Fermeture de la porte par un simple cadenas.

- Regina Hannah (10/5): - Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin… This stay was so much more to me than just a few nights in a hostel.
From the moment I arrived, I didn’t feel like a guest – I felt truly welcomed. Everything is thoughtfully designed, clean, and has such a warm, almost family-like atmosphere. It’s one of those places where you can instantly relax and just be yourself.
But what truly makes this place special is the manager.
I have rarely met someone who puts so much heart into what they do. She doesn’t just see guests – she sees people. She notices when you’re doing well, but also when you might be having a difficult day. And in those moments, she’s there – with a smile, a listening ear, or simply the right words.
She didn’t just manage my stay – she genuinely cared about it. Her recommendations weren’t just tips, but little windows into the real life here. Because of her, I experienced Tirana in a completely different and much more meaningful way.
It’s the small things – a sincere conversation, her positive energy, her attentiveness – that make all the difference. When I left, it didn’t feel like I was just leaving a place, but like I was leaving behind someone I truly appreciated having around.
I left with so much gratitude – and one thing is certain: I will be back. ❤️
- Sophie (1/5): - La chambre était très sale, la salle de bain de bain aussi. J’ai trouvé un mégot avec un chewing-gum sur mon oreiller. Rien n’était nettoyé, les toilettes étaient très très sales, la douche aussi.
Seul l’emplacement était bien, à 5min à pied du centre de Tirana.

- Jill (1/5): Zeer slecht en onhygiënisch hostel, absoluut niet naartoe gaan. - Accomodatie ligt goed gelegen in de stad. Daar bleef het helaas ook bij. Ons verblijf in dit hostel was een enorme teleurstelling. Toen we aankwamen in onze kamer lagen de bedden nog vol met haren van andere gasten. In de keuken stond een pan met water en kip die volledig beschimmeld was, met een dikke laag schimmel erop (privé keuken in de kamer). Ook in de kastjes lag beschimmeld eten. Het was duidelijk dat er al lange tijd niet was schoongemaakt.
Daarnaast was de eigenaar totaal niet voorbereid op onze komst. Wij kwamen om 01:30 ’s nachts aan en hij zei dat we vijf minuten moesten wachten. Uiteindelijk duurde het meer dan 30 minuten voordat hij terugkwam. Toen hij eindelijk terugkwam had hij een kussen onder zijn arm dat wij moesten gebruiken om op te slapen. De kamers waren niet schoongemaakt voor onze aankomst en de hygiëne was ronduit slecht.
De situatie was zo onhygiënisch en onprofessioneel dat wij dezelfde nacht nog hebben besloten om een ander verblijf te zoeken. Helaas kunnen wij dit hostel absoluut niet aanbevelen.

- Engr. Muhammad Roshaan (1/5): - Washroom was not clean
So much water on the floor of washroom
Kitchen was not clean
And even the room which they given us was not the triple room
They were having only two single beds and I faced so much difficulty with my wife and daughter however in booking they promised clearly that the room will be having 4 single beds
The bedsheets were not even cleaned and there was so much smoking smell in the room
The room floor was very bad Washroom was not clean

- jordi (6/5): -
- Oscar (1/5): A evitar - Amabilidad personal, localización Suciedad, olor a húmedo, miy viejo y dejado todo. El baño era repugnante!
- Jessica (1/5): Non lo consiglio - Solo la posizione e il prezzo Pulizia carente
Lenzuola e letto non puliti
- Laura (7/5): Bueno - El anfitrion nos trato super bien. Muy atento, amable y dispuesto a ayudar. Quizás la ropa de cama podría ser mejor.
- Renáta (9/5): Good value for money - Perfect location, easy check-in, safe place, comfortable room, air conditioning, nice staff!
Good value for money!
- amir (6/5): هاديء وجيد - كانت ليلة واحدة وكان الهوستيل موقعه جيد قريب من السوق والبازار الجديد ، والبناية نظيفة وهادئة جيد جداً للمبيت ، وسعره ممتاز لميزانية قليلة والموظفون لطفاء دق الموظف الباب الساعة 10 صباحاً لاخبارنا ضرورة الخروج لانه ربما يأتي نزلاء جدد رغم ان المعلن بالبوكنج تسجيل الخروج من 10-12 هذا شيء ازعجني كان بالامكان اخبارنا وقت تسجيل الدخول ، رغم ذلك الموظف قبل وضع حقائبنا عنده لحين قدوم تاكسي المطار وكان مهذب .
- Laura Luīze (1/5): - Smelled of spoiled trash in the apartment, dirty.
- Elias (7/5): -
- Andreia Catarina (2/5): - A localização é bastante boa e a relação qualidade preço é justa para o que é pago. A limpeza deixa mesmo muito a desejar, nota-se nos mais diversos locais, tanto quarto como casa de banho e cozinha. O edifício e os alojamentos estão num estado bastante precário. A água quente pode não chegar para todos (foi o nosso caso, infelizmente). Diria que é algo para uma noite no máximo.
- Antoni (1/5): -
- Abdelrahman (9/5): - طاقم العمل راءع
- Samuel (3/5): Really not good, kitchens useless, please don't stay here. - Host was somewhat friendly, the room was private, location was fine. Owner very demanding and spammed my WhatsApp, didn't take card, the private kitchens a total sham and the kitchen is totally not functional, so don't go expecting anything useful, bathroom was flooded, locks were dodgy, room unclean before we got in, and loads of noise from neighbouring rooms, from people clearly friends with the host, doesn't look like the picture, instead looks dark and dingy and almost like a time capsule to the 80's.
- Sebastian (1/5): - Close to the center. Very crowded with noisy people and very cold.
- Joseph (2/5): -
- Lucas (10/5): -
- Murat (1/5): - Absolutely do not come here. The owners of this hostel are scammers. They will charge you extra money on top of the registration fee.
- Laena (4/5): Passable - Kitchen inside room and fridge outside room, next to bathroom. Lockable door. Storage lockers available but in another building + limited.
Walking distance from main square and all the food. Towels were clean and given free. Glass door on bathroom meant no privacy+ unsafe. Could be curtained, same as bedroom door. Cold and rusted. Everything needed refurbishing.
Abdrrehman asked us for 300 lek cash for his services after paying by card, my friends didn't feel comfortable + didnt want to stay after this. I was okay.
Difficult to find the place as no sign anywhere on the outside, doors always open but no name.
- Olof (3/5): Bra läge - Läget, läget!
Skönt ingen annan på rummet. Kallt utan värmepumpen i gång.
Var den igångsatt visade värmepumpen 30 grader.
Ingen toalett på rummet.

- PEDRO SANTIAGO ROLDÁN (1/5): Sórdido en Tirana - Nada Horrible en todos los aspectos, sórdido.
- Mahir (10/5): -
- Kashif (9/5): They are really helpful staff - Good location with views Nice trees
- Chahd (10/5): Parfait - Très bien placé et proche du centre, on y fait également de très bonne rencontre.
- Keren (5/5): -
- Zey (5/5): - Booking.com says it's 8 euros for 2 nights, but when I arrived at the hostel, they charged me 16 euros.
- Barraza Aleman (7/5): onesto soggiorno in quel di Tirana - - posizione centrale
- staff disponibile
- rapporto qualità/prezzo onesto pulizia e manutenzione delle parti comuni da rivedere, sennò sarebbe stato prefetto
- steven browne (8/5): -
- HIRO (8/5): 安いし最高です。 - スタッフが優しい。厚手のブランケットが欲しいと言ったらわざわざ新しいのを出してくれた。 階段しかないから荷物多いと面倒かも。
- Hernán (3/5): Scam - Nos recibieron bien pero todo lo demas fue engaño La habitación no correspondia con las fotos de la publicación y la gran mayoría de los servicios no estaban disponibles como calefaccion, barbacoa, la cocina no estaba bien equipada, no tenía ni tazas para tomar cafe, las vistas a lago montaña y todo lo demas era falso, el personal nos intento sacar un dia antes de forma insistente a lo que tuve que discutir con el encargado y pedirle que revisara bien su información y seguia insistiendo en que nos retiraramos luego de unos minutos accedio a ver su wsp donde saco fotos de nuestros pasapotes y ingresaron dos veces al cuarto la primera con nosotros acostados en la mañana lo cual lo considero muy inapropiado, la ventana no cerraba bien y el apartamento a donde nos llevo estaba 2 cuadras mas atras en una calle con mucho ruido y un centro de danza urbana
- Mari (5/5): - The staff was very nice, specially Liz. It wasn’t clean at all
- Julia (1/5): - Liczyłam się z tym, że przez niską cenę nie ma co się spodziewać luksusów, ale to, że lokalizacja podana na bookingu, a faktyczna lokalizacja jest inna to jest pierwsza red flaga tego obiektu.
Po odnalezieniu noclegowni, (bo inaczej tego nie można nazwać) rezydent bardzo niemiło nas przywitał oraz zaprowadził do innego budynku w którym znajdował się nasz pokój.
Pomijając to, że rezerwacja była na pokój z łóżkiem małżeńskim, a dostaliśmy łóżko piętrowe, to sam pokój był obskurny i nieprzyjemny.
Sprawa została zgłoszona do obsługi klienta na bookingu (przede wszystkim dlatego, że zdjęcia nie odpowiadają rzeczywistemu stanowi obiektu)
NIE POLECAM
- Antonio (10/5): TOP - Rapporto qualità prezzo e posizione sono ottimali così come la serietà e la disponibilità di Yousuf. A presto e grazie!
- Bruno (7/5): -
- Marcos (1/5): Pésimo e indecente. - Haber sobrevivido. Todo, más que un albergue es una chabola y no entiendo como es posible que Booking permita reservar en este sitio. Las fotos no corresponden con la realidad, todo está sucio, es indecoroso. De verdad, no lo recomiendo para nada.
- Rousseau (6/5): -
- Cheemee (1/5): - Unterkunftgeber war extrem nett. Es war alles sehr schmutzig und komplett überfüllt. Sind nicht geblieben.
- Alexandre (1/5): By far the worst place we stayed in the whole country - No parking, very dirty apartment, nothing organized, no towels, oppressive atmosphere and host. By far the worst place we stayed in the whole country
- Marta (8/5): - La ubicación
- Antonio (10/5): - Ottima posizione, staff molto disponibile, rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono. Molto consigliato!
- Nattan (3/5): Only if you have not other options - It was cool to be outside the hostel and live like roomates. Not very clean, staff wasn’t very nice. You have to call a number when you enter, they don’t explain anything. You just wait and thats all.
It wasn’t a good expérience
- Mouhssine (2/5): - Gar nichts. Alles schlecht und wir wurden während unseren Nächte von Nachbarn gestört. Nie wieder Gebäude ist zu alt, unsauber, Störung durch Nachbarn, gar nicht komfortabel usw.....
- Huzaifa (8/5): -
- Angel (1/5): Asqueroso - El aire acondicionado iba bien Una pocilga integral
- Sandro (7/5): Perfetto x una notte e via, prezo fantastico per chi ha bosogno di fare una tappa veloce -
- Virginia (2/5): Hostal para el recuerdo. Huid - Lo único bueno del hostal es la ubicación pero realmente no merece la pena. Habíamos reservado este hostal y nos dieron otro (Blue Diamond). Nos dijeron que podíamos pagar con tarjeta y cuando estábamos allí nos dijeron que no. La habitación sí estaba aceptable pero el baño daba pena... Olía fatal y muy sucio. La zona común no estaba para usarla tampoco, todo muy sucio y lleno de tabaco
- cemal (7/5): - evin konumu ve ev sahibi harikaydı çarşaf yastık ve banyo temizliği şüpheli

- Omar (7/5): Good -
- Tiernan (8/5): Very good -
- Gabrielius (8/5): Very good -
- Selmani (10/5): Very avordable place - Very cozy nice people and place
- Mange (7/5): Was nice close to the city was perfect.amsong food joints nearby - The property is just a 5-minute walk from the Old Bazaar, making it a great location. It’s also very budget-friendly. We had booked a double room for two nights, which was spacious and comfortable. Yusuf, our main point of contact, was incredibly helpful and even gave us a lovely upgrade.
The city center and the bus stop for Tirana Airport are about a 15-minute walk away, and most major sights are easily accessible on foot. They also have a dorm hostel if you wish to book a cheaper stay. There is no parking. At times the sharing room can be a bit noisy at night. But rest all is good.
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional - All you need
- Mak (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikhil (5/5): Passable -

- Bytyqi (7/5): Good -
- Ozturk (4/5): Disappointing - The fact that it was cheap Lack of empathy from the staff, difficult to reach, had to call multiple times and send a message to which he responded only much later.
We were in the end asked to come to a completely different location on the other side of the city because the place we were was 'under renovation' (??)
Two other girls staying there had a similar experience with poor communication on the part of the host.
- Palash (1/5): Not worth to pay a single penny. This property should not be listed as the condition of the room is pathetic and not in - Nothing in the property was good and not worth to pay a single penny. This property should not be listed as the condition of the room is pathetic No cleanliness, No AC working, Bedsheets stinking, mosquitos, broken chair and wardrobe, dusty and smelly
- Barwick (7/5): Good -
- Mundy (8/5): well located and friendly - good value - friendly people - fellow guests and staff bin on overflow
- Wisse (3/5): Not like the pictures - The pictures shown do not match the actual state of the hostel. There also more 'locations' on booking.com like Royal 2 and Royal 3. They all seem to be the same hostel.
- Amelia (4/5): Avoid, first hostel I’ve ever left immediately and booked somewhere else. Not at all what we booked and the facilities w - Not much The bathroom
Such a weird uncomfortable vibe unfriendly welcome
Not the pictures at all.
- Kenneth (9/5): Great stay in central Tirana - Great location in central Tirana. Check-in process was easy and I had a restful sleep. Cash payment only. Either EUR or LEK were fine.
