    Facilities adequate but a little rundown; showers run hot and cold unpredictably. Half-hour or more walk to the good beach…

    Very friendly ambiance, helpful staff, nice terrace for hanging out. Big beers for 1.5 euros, full kitchen. Good restaurants nearby…

    The only one thing, the issue with lockers, guests shall have the ability to use it. Just fix the lockers, besides that all good.

    Everything, very nice administrators and the vibe. Love the music and common area.

    The only thing I would say is the top bunks don't have any rails on the side and the showers are either freezing or boiling but other than that was great. Would stay again!

    The property has a big communal garden and indoor chill area with good WiFi. Is right in the centre with a 5 min walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Each floor has 3 bathrooms and 2 toilets so there is always availability. Outdoor hanging area for clothes and fridges available to store food

    It's an older property so has some aging issues. It's a little shabby but clean. The young staff don't speak Albanian or know the city so couldn't help with busses or any traveler questions. The garden needs attention.

    Great location near the walking street in a little alley. Quiet, with a courtyard. The included breakfast was a nice surprise. House rules were clear, nothing Draconian. My room was a private which was spacious with a very good private en suite. There was an iron to borrow and space in the kitchen for private provisions.

    The room had a fan but no air-conditioning. The bathroom had a strong smell of chlorine, but it was absolutely okay for one night.

    The volunteers at the reception were really friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was really good and the location could not have been better!

    The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the room. So I had to move to another room. Next day there was no water supply at all. After only cold water. But they fixed it within an hour.

    The showers are not the best: water constantly changes from freezing to burning back and force and there're just curtains, no doors.

    The place is great, right next to the central square with a lot of sights and cafes/restaurants around. It has a nice private garden, it's very clean and they let me stay with my dog without any issues. The team who runs it is simply amazing and I will definitely come back.

    Issues with the stove, lockers were broken and/or not really secure, and the toilets were a pain to flush. Lots of little easy to fix issues everywhere that obviously no one cares about to fix. There was no heater/AC in my room, so it was pretty cold.

    Good location with a large kitchen and common area. There is a large outdoor patio as well. It is close to the bus station and the ferry terminal. Good for a couple of nights, and best option in Durres. Decent value for the money. Be sure to check out the amphitheater ruins, and hike up to the lighthouse, and check out the abandoned Zog Palace. It's a nice pine forest and there are very nice views of the sea from up there, once you get past the piles of trash.

    Interior needs a bit of TLC.Mould everywhere.Old furniture.And the worst wet rug on the toilet.I did not have a shower because of it.It was soaking wet probably because has been there for ages without replacing it. It would be best without NO rugs in there.Plus mould ceiling and walls.Room not warm enough.Only an electric heater which did not help much.

    Location. Right in the middle of everything.Pretty convenient.Breakfast.(lovely).And reception staff very helpful.

    Shared bathroom, showers with curtain, no door, but, I was able to find the time to use it with privacy. All respectful, so this wasn't really a problem. Thank you to the employees and volunteers

    Super central, close to the port, and the bus terminal, just two blocks from the amphitheater and other tourist sites in Durres. Breakfast was super tasty. Very friendly staff.
