Reviews of Mi Casa es Tu Casa - Shkodra Backpackers Hostel

Good location, in the middle of town, good place to meet other travellers

Mixed experiences with staff

artsy style, nice host, great location

Very chill place with a beautiful garden and really functional kitchen. The breakfast and beers were delicious too!

We loved this hostel. It is in such a great location but tucked slightly off the road for more privacy. It was easy to find, the room was great and quiet, and most of the staff were super friendly and lovely. The whole hostel is very homey and cozy with great shared spaces. Really a fantastic hostel. The staff are also so helpful and they offer all services you could want help with for the area.

If you have animal allergies this might not be for you as they have many dogs and cats (both indoor and outdoor). But if you love animals then you would be in heaven. I would say most of the staff were super amazing but there was one who seemed like your presence was annoying and that they wanted to be anywhere but there, really strange for a hostel employee.

The staff were very friendly, helpful and kind. They made you feel welcome. They arranged a day trip for us and gave us suggestions of what to do. The location is fairly central, walking distance to good cafes. The history of the hostel is beautiful.

The bathroom was separated from the family room which was a little inconvenient. It could also benefit from being updated. The wifi was weak and unusable.

Very nice place, comfortable and clean, excellent breakfast, nice staff and very helpfull. Nice natural garden. Bathroom shared and very clean and comfortable.

Good hostel.

Would be nice if the rooms had locks so only the people staying inside could come in! Would be an extra bit of security that I've had at other hostels.

Stayed open at reception for me while I was running late. Super nicely decorated with a lot of soul! Let me leave my luggage for a small fee while I went off into the mountains

So friendly and well decorated! love all the art and chillout spaces!!

We stayed here for one night before starting our trip to the north of Albania. The staff were really helpful arranging our transportation from Shkodër to Valbonë — the ticket cost around €28 and included all transfers. The hostel has a cool, hippie, backpacker vibe and a lovely green garden with plants, a ping-pong table, and friendly dogs. There’s also an outdoor bar area where you can chill with a beer and meet other travelers. The location is excellent; the bus from Tirana dropped us just a 5-minute walk away. They also offer luggage storage for €2 per night, which was very convenient for leaving our big bags during the hike. Overall, the price is great for what you get, and it’s perfect if you’re a solo traveler looking to meet people and arranging your trip to the Albanian Alps.

Communication was sometimes a bit tricky since not all staff speak English well (specially in Wpp). The common areas, like the living room and garden, could be a bit more organized and tidy.

The way all hostels should be. During my stay the place was busy but not crowded. The garden and terrace were perfect to spend some time in during the hot afternoons and they have a bar as well. The dorms inside the house have AC, which was great. They also had bicycles to rent, great for going to Lake Shkoder. Staff was very kind and helpfull.

It's a great hostel, there was nothing I didn't like.

The staff are really friendly and helpful, the decoration is very cool and the history of the building is fascinating. They gave a great restaurant recommendation which helps women who have been in difficult situations which was delicious. Great central location.

The aircon was VERY appreciated but also very loud, so it was hard to sleep with it on but too hot with it off.

Clean and comfortable room. The staff was helpful arranging transport to Valbonë/back from Theth.

Great atmosphere, friendly hosts and owner, perfect place before departure to hikes in Albania (many recommendations by the hostel).

I had bed bugs in my bad - it destroyed my sleep. The guy in the reception helped to find different bed.
