The staff are friendly, the hostel is comfortable and clean, and the location is ok, but it can be a little challenging to find. Don't rely on the breakfast the hostel provides - it's a pre-packaged croissant and an "orange flavoured drink", but fortunately there are plenty of alternatives for good, cheap food in Tirana.

Easy to find about a five minute walk from the main square. Friendly, clean and cheap. I had a comfortable stay here. It's quiet as it's off the main road. Room had ensuite bathroom. Free internet. Lovely cake shop at the end of the road and a grocers a few doors away. Thanks a lot to Freddy and his family.

We stayed in a room with AC, TV, small refrigerator, and internet. Freddy was really helpful getting us on the right minibus, and recommending good places to eat. Great central location. I recommend getting air conditioning. It was really hot when we were there. You do get a cup of coffee and roll for breakfast. Rides can be arranged to... More

Three friends of mine and I spent two nights in this hostel. We stayed in a 4 bed room, with a bathroom (with shower), a frigo-bar, a TV and a PC connected to the web. We spent a very good time in this hostel. Freddy is a nice and gentle person. The hostel is well located, near the central square... More

We stayed in this hostel for two nights. The location is great, very central to Skenderbej Square and the Bloku area with all the restaurants and bars. There is also a new development of shops and bars just minutes away from the hostel. The staff is great and even though not everybody speaks a lot of English, they all speak... More

We stayed here two nights and would recommend it. Big room, en-suite, free internet. Hostel is in great location. Airport pick up was useful for a first time visitor. Breakfast at local cafe included.

I thought, being a family-run place it would be a lot friendlier. The older gentleman on the desk the night I arrived from Kosovo by bus was great but next morning it was different. The chap on the desk who I think may have been Freddy insisted I pay for my night's accommodation before I had a chance to ask... More

The room was ok, in a quiet area near the center. Mini-market and coffee bars are short walk. It's more than just a hostel, cramming people in, but instead decent space! The problem is English :( (they are speaking Albanian, Italian, Macedonian ... but not English)

Staff: a family run guesthouse, with all the generations involving with. All of them are very very nice. Location: in a side street behind the Tirana International Hotel, therefore in the middle of the city, and hence could be noisy. In the same street, a number of restaurants as well as patisseries available. Breakfast: I was enjoying the coffee and... More

The room was good, en suite, in a quiet area. A small minimarket (Conad) is a short walk away next to a covered over area of Cafes and at the top of the road there's my favourite cake shop, a byrek place (always good to try) and literally a dozen metres away a local shop which has fresh fruit etc....
