Hostels in Tirana County, Albania

The room was okay and everything but they wouldnt let us use the AC. I turned it on at night cuz my kids sleep better when its cooler, and they came up the stairs and shut the power off to our room. We needed our phones charged for the next day as we had big plans the next morning and we woke up to them dead. Also, on top of no power and AC or wifi, they yelled at us for leaving 2 shopping bags of garbage. Saying she just rents the rooms, shes not a maid. I was unaware that there was public dumpsters on the streets- I thought they were business owned like in the states where if you put trash in it you get fined. She also got mad that I stripped the beds before we left and I think was saying she had someone coming in an hour and now she will have to make them wait. So the whole experience was of that of staying at someones house when they dont want you there. Also I paid a $10 deposit and they didnt return it.

The overall vibe was pretty good; it's a hostel setup, and a lot of people hang out and chat on the balconies on the first and second floors at night. The room I booked was huge with three beds, and had all the basic necessities, though it wasn't particularly aesthetic, which didn't bother me. The front desk was really helpful and arranged my airport pickup! It's quite central, so I could walk to the starting points for my day trips to North Macedonia and Kosovo. Overall, I'd recommend it; it's good value for money! I also highly recommend the fish restaurant just a three-minute walk away (look for the one with a 4.9 rating on Google Maps, on the street corner)—it practically became my canteen, haha!

Loved the pool and vibe there! A quick bus ride to the city centre (Skanderbeg Square) and buses 8 and 11 both go there (40 lekk in coins to catch it) and a good store across the street and a pizza calzone place up the street. If walking, I recommend walking from the square rather than to the square as going to the square is uphill. A nice place overall! :)

The owner of the hostel is really helpful! Super nice. She helps me with a lot of stuff. The location is really great, walking distance to city center. The room and the bathroom are clean! I love i

The host was vey gracious, informative and accommodating. The place is well looked after and l felt safe as solo traveller. I recommend this place.
