    The rooms don't have locks. There is a keypad to enter the property, but then everything is open. In our room many of the lockers were broken. Also worth noting is that the hostel is vegetarian and the breakfast is vegan.

    Great hostel to socialize. Nice backyard. Many restaurants in the area. Friendly staff. Hostel dog is super cute.

    Some toilets were not flushing properly, locks on doors were not secure, no big lockers to store my things and the water in the hostel was not potable.

    The free breakfast was great and the location was close to the centre so I alway got home from a night out within 20 minutes and it’s walking distance (16 minutes) to the international bus terminal.

    The pictures make it look better than it is. Most dorms have very old foam mattresses some have PowerPoints, some don't. Very overpriced for what they offer. The breakfast has a great fruit selection but not much else. It also seemed a little clicky.

    Nice big garden area. Social atmosphere.

    They make a big vegan breakfast every morning. They invest much energy in cutting planty of fruits and vegetables, making porredge,... But I missed Egges, Cheese and Coffee. BUT: Guestkitchen is open, so you can make your own things for breakfast if you miss something

    BIg and profesisonal hostel, nice garden. Friendly travelers, volonteers and staff

    The dorm rooms could do with a deep clean (the rug and curtains are very old and dusty).

    Great location in the city centre, plenty of bathrooms, good air conditioning, staff were super helpful and printed my bus tickets for me :)

    There was no locker available in our room. The kitchen was a bit depressing (underground with no window). The planks in the beds were not super practical (at some point my butt was jutting down because they were too far apart).

    Overall very friendly ambiance in the hostel, great place to socialize. The staff was very helpful. The hostel setup with an inner backyard is pretty cool. The decorations are also super nice and add to the positive vibes. The hostel is also vegan-friendly!

    They could’ve had a few more bathrooms.

    The best part was the garden to relax and socialise with other travellers! I also really enjoyed the veggie breakfast, although it does run out towards 10 so get there a bit earlier to enjoy.

    Well, I did see that the hostel offers vegetarian or vegan breakfast. But I did not expect that I would not be allowed to cook my own meat if I wanted to. For some days it's fine, but if you like meat like I do, maybe you should consider this.

    The staff is very friendly and the people are nice. The location is good. The garden area is very nice as well

    Even though the hostel is located in the city centre (not even 5 mins walking from Skanderbeg Square), the surrounding area doesn't look very safe...but that's Tirana, baby!

    The hostel has a cool vibe, perfect if you're a solo traveller. The staff is very nice and fun to chat with. I particularly enjoyed breakfast, which was entirely vegetarian.

    Hard to fault. No individual lights for the bunks if I’m being highly critical but my bunk did have two power points

    Great location, easy walking distance from the international bus station and to city centre. Helpful staff to give information on transport links about of Tirana to match bus station to destination. Rash breakie included in the price in the garden space, which was very relaxing. The hostel is like a little oasis in the city. Under bunk lockers for valuables and kitchen available for self catering. They also put on dinner for €5/ALL500.

    Some things that could be improved are definitely the shower areas, the lighting is especially bad and it needs a proper basin plus a mirror where you can actually see yourself in.

    The staff really is the highlight of this hostel, great social atmosphere. The included breakfast is pretty basic but good enough and group dinners are provided most nights at an affordable price. They have an awesome backyard where everybody hangs out which makes it super easy to meet people.
