    Everything was wonderful.

    A perfect 10 star. This hostel excelled all the way. The family that runs the place is so kind, hospitable, accommodating, and attentive. They even took time to take some of us to their family farm where we picked fruit and ate together. Their hostel is above their bar which is another wonderful feature should you need to order any snacks or drinks really quick. Super quiet and clean. I highly recommend this hostel.

    Only the shower was downstairs in 'restaurant' but as a hostel dweller we make the most of everything

    Manuel helped me carry my heavy bag up the stairs, her brother gave me a lovely coffee when I left early in the morning, the waiter let me pay for my coke after I drew money. All these acts of kindness is what makes this Hostel special. Thank you

    Nothing

    The family that are hosting are just wonderful people. The hostel itself was quite open (no split rooms), but everyone was really considerate when people are sleeping. The restaurant attached had the most amazing pesto wrap. The breakfast was a croissant and coffee or fresh juice which was perfect for me.

    The only thing I didn't like much, but it wasn't that big of a problem, the showers can be used only during certain hours.

    Wow...just wow. Super easy to find. Awesome location. Everything you need is nearby. The place is super spacious, clean facilities, and what a terrace with what a view....omg And then the staff, so sweet, so wonderful and helpful, really accomodating and gracious. The best ones I met on this trip. The manager was also really nice and looking forward to make anyone feel as comfortable as possible.

    No lounge but you can stay at the bar the whole day, reading, writing, or doing everything you want to. So, no complains. A perfect place to enjoy Shkoder.

    Family run hostel and bar at the very center of the historical area of Shkoder. A big bar at the second level of an well restored building and a big dorm at the third level just under the roof. Very quiet after 10 pm, very clean, with AC during the night, you can have a perfect rest. Very tasty breakfast. I realy enjoyed my stay with that Albanian family. I hope I will be back next summer. Thank you my friends.

    Sooooo spacious and clean. The staff and owners are really nice and very accommodating. The location is right in the middle of town centre. Close to shops, restaurants and only 3 mins away from bus stop. Very convenient. I happened to see one of the most highly rated hostels during my stay in Shkoder and Im glad, I chose Symphony Hostel instead. A lot better if you want it less crowd, quiet and spacious. Even the rooftop balcony is a nice place just to relax and wind down.

    I wish there were some curtains around the bed for a tiny bit of privacy. And also, to block out the early morning sunlight that came in through the windows.

    The location was on the semi pedestrian Street, just across from the real pedestrian street, just behind the Rostafa Hotel. A great place to be, very central, and they had good bikes to rent. Although of above the bar, we heard absolutely nothing at night. It’s totally closed off from the rest of the building.

    I found this place on Booking when I decided to extend my stay in Shkodër, and it ended up being my favourite hostel here. The owners are incredibly kind and always check to make sure you're comfortable, making it feel like home. Since it was the low season, the atmosphere was nice and quiet. The bed was very clean and comfortable. Having a coffee bar downstairs was super convenient for me, as I work online and starting my day with a good coffee was fantastic. I ended up booking another week here!

    My stay at the hostel was super! The host was super friendly and took the time to explain everything. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, with a laundry machine and lockers for luggage. The café and food spot downstairs were a great bonus—the food was tasty, and the price for the stay was fair. The location couldn't be more central. Highly recommend!
