Reviews of Bliss Inn Hostel & Tours

A home away from home… I had an incredible time staying at this hostel — it truly felt like home. The owners are extremely caring and make sure you feel comfortable and have everything you need. They also give great advice on where to go, what to do, and even help with booking tours. I kept extending my stay day after day, and would have loved to stay longer if i had more time. Leaving was really hard because it felt like being part of a family. This is honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in, and I’ll definitely be coming back! The location is great — close to the city center, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. There are also many activities to do in the area. If you’re looking for a place where you can connect with others and settle in for a while, this is the perfect spot. And the animals at the hostel bring even more life and warmth to the place!

Everything was perfect <3

The owner of the place is very respectful and has to talk to others

Everything's good.

For the price it is everything you could ever ask for. The place is clean and the people there are lovely. The main host also goes out his way to give you recommendations where to go in the city and help out his guests in general. The dorms look nice and have balconies. They also have a nice hangout space in the main hall and in the yard where there is also a small swimming pool.

The beds are kinda squeeky and seemingly poor quality. One bathroom was missing the toilet seat and the other was kinda stinky. Still nothing you can't get over for 8€ per night.

This is a wonderful hostel located in a nice part of town with everything you’d want or need nearby including a supermarket within a 5 minute walk, bakeries nearby, good cheap restaurants at the end of the street along with a smaller grocery store. Would recommend for any travellers wanting a nice chilled but social time in Shkoder.

Home away from home - beautiful little friendly hostel!

I loved the shower pressure, and the real homey feel of the hostel, the outside area was also really nice. And lots of animals!!!!

I really enjoyed my stay here. It is such a homely hostel and all the staff are so lovely and helpful. It is a good location, 5-10 minutes walk to the main area of Shkoder but also tucked away enough that it was perfectly safe and very quiet. There is good wifi and a space upstairs between the rooms which was great for remote working. They had set up a pool in the yard too which was ideal for hot days. I also needed to store a bag for a few days after I stayed and they were more than happy for me to do so

Not a negative but there are 2 bathrooms (shower and toilet in each) so sometimes it can be a few minutes wait but the hostel was full when I was there and it was never a big issue or a super long wait time

The owner was super helpful and friendly. Felt very homey. Nice courtyard to sit in

This is suuuuch an amazing place, definitely one of my favorite hostels I’ve stayed in! It’s a small hostel converted from a family home so the feeling is super cozy and warm. What really makes the place special is the manager Dion and the volunteers. They are incredibly kind and helpful people who really care about the guests.

This is such an amazing place to stay. Dion is an amazing host and will go out of his way to organize outings or buses or whatever you may need. Great staff who create the chill, inclusive vibe of this inn. Really enjoyed my stay here!

Loved the balcony. Was able to use the kitchen facilities. Lovely family

Very nice, clean and cozy Hostel close to the bus station and city centre. Had a great time with the people there going for a day trip at the lake nearby and Canyon, I totally reccomend the trips they have, renting a bike or playing ping pong in the courtyard. The Staff is very friendly, Dion the owner is very attentive to details and also Cristian is very nice. I would ve wanted to stay there much longer. I felt like home. I liked they have a very well equiped kitchen, a nice living room to chill and garden with flowers and shade, a pingpongtable and cats :)

All was perfect

It was wonderful. Super easy to connect and the guy running it goes out of his way to give you a great experience in and about Albania! Highly recommend to go!

What a wonderful place to stay in Shkoder. The rooms are good, the owner is very kind and welcoming and the atmosphérique is amazing.

amazing value for the price, had a great time!

I really enjoyed my stay here! The place has a calm vibe, a nice chill-out area, a clean and spacious bathroom, and two very friendly owners — Dion and Christian, who made me feel welcome from the first day. Also, bonus points for the ginger cat who guards the place like a furry little king. Definitely a spot with soul.

The staff, Dion was very accommodating from start to finish. The hostel is very cozy, very well-located. The evenings felt like little family gathering in the garden. It’s also clean and very comfortable. I had a great stay, and would recommend without hesitation.

I extended to 4 nights and will return after my hiking days again. The hostel is in a traditional Albanian home, and it’s beautiful! I had good sleep with the AC. They take good care of keep it clean and nice. The garden common area is super chill and there’s lots of activities (ping pong, darts, foosball, cards, etc). You can use the kitchen to cook. There’s rental bikes, you can book further bus tickets/transportation to Valbone or Theth with them as well. Just ask! Location is just 10 min walk to center but in a calm residential street, which I like. Pici the orange kitty is also so adorable and always coming into my lap. Dion, who runs the place, is the best. He makes sure to get to know every guest and gives advice about what to do in Shkoder. We became friends 🥳 I met really cool chill people while here, lots of people come for the hike. The day trips they offer are amazing too! Especially to the canyon, where you can swim and walk along the rock formations. The nature is wild and beautiful. I totally recommend it. Activities I recommend: cycling to Shiroke! Sunset at Rozafa castle (free spot, ask Dion)

Nothing really! I had fun here.

Dion is the best host
