    Would have loved a bit of info from the staff when I first arrived, explain the area, things to do, recommendations etc like most other hostels offer. As a solo traveller I would have liked some hostel events as they have the perfect space for it and easy to meet people that way. Air conditioning is also blasting in the rooms sometimes it’s a bit too cold

    Great location, two streets back from beach, gorgeous modern facilities, and nice chill out areas

    It’s a bit of a party hostel in the way of people coming in and out of the room at all hour off the night & morning. Be prepared with earplugs and eye mask

    Central location, nice communal area

    Only two toilets and two showers for all the people staying... be prepared to wait a little bit! But the facilities are good and clean though!

    Rooms are lovely, beds are comfortable. Everything is clean and breakfast very nice.

    Room was too hot, however staff turned it down on request.

    Rooms had plenty of luggage space and private beds, it was also clean and had a nice social area outside. Hostel was only a four minute walk to bus station and plenty restaurants nearby and only a few minutes to the beach

    The AC was way way to cold, I sadly got a sore throat from the dry cold air. To be fair it wasn’t the staffs fault, someone demanded it to be colder, she was a real Karen.

    Great people and nice area to sit together, the staff are super friendly and the amenities are really good. Beds super comfortable and the locations is super good.

    I will say the toilet it was so small and you barely have time to use it, because it was a lot of people , most of the time someone was inside and you have to wait a bit longer to use it. except that . it was very amazing hostel

    Als a solo Travel this was the Best Hostel, i had stay in, the Location was direkt in the City Center, Everything was Close by. And the workers was really nice and the people was really great, helpful, got to meet new friends, who we all Late Open a WhatsApp Gruppe on the Name of the Hostel 😊 definitely a place I will stay again if I visit sarande in the future:)) thanks to the host and the amazing people who was there during my 5days at Vega 43 Hostel. You guys make my solo trip wonderful. Also there is happy hour 🍻 cocktail time which starts everyday at 9pm definitely worth trying out they happy hour drinks which is not that expensive 4 to 6€.

    Everything was great - note that there are only two showers and two toilets but I never ran into any issues or had to cue.

    Extremely comfortable bedding, a/c temp was perfect (managed by hosts which I think is better), great showers and overall great facilities. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel at home and will help you with whatever you need. During my stay, I met some incredible people at Vega 43 because of the great social atmosphere and communal hang out space outdoors. I kept extending my stay because I didn’t want to leave - the best hostel in Sarande!

    I suggest adding some drawers or a space to place belongings while using the sink, as it currently feels a bit uncomfortable and cramped.

    I got to know the area very well and can say that the hostel’s location is excellent. The man and woman on the morning shift were very kind to me and allowed me to check in early since I was very tired from my trip; they were very empathetic. Xhuli, the guy on the night shift, was also always willing to help. The breakfast was delicious and the cleanliness always perfect. Everything in the hostel works very well—don’t hesitate, this is your best choice in Saranda!

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The common area is beautiful and perfect for meeting and making friends with other guests, perhaps over a local beer, sold at a great price at reception! The attention to detail is immediately striking: comfortable beds with privacy curtains and individual lights for each bed. The showers are excellent and spacious, the environment is clean, and the hostel's location is excellent, just steps from the bus station and the sea. The staff was fantastic throughout my stay; July at check-in was very helpful and kind, she made me feel at home! For these reasons, I decided to extend my stay longer than I had planned! I will definitely be back soon, Faleminderit🫶

    Modern and clean, however safety an issue.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in 10-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Safety a large issue - the door into the dormitary has no lock and is kept open 24/7. This theoretically allows anyone to enter the room from the street - of particular concern as the front of the hostel is used as a 24/7 carpark and there are people not associated with the hostel coming and going at all hours. Could be easily resolved by having a key/swipe access card into the dormitory for guests of the hostel only. Bathroom is very poorly designed, only x2 bathrooms/toilets (x1 male, x1 female) for the entire hostel. Shower floods the entire floor quickly and there is no where to place clothing to keep it dry. Basin impossible to use/wash face in due to being very shallow. Sound could be an issue of nighttime if guests were talking in the common area.

    Hostel was beautiful, incredibly modern and kept very clean. Staff did not speak much english but were warm and hospitable. Breakfast changed daily and was good (although small), and started from 8:30am. Generously sized lockers provided (with key). Beds very comfortable and curtain provided privacy. Location was 10/10, only a 5 minute walk to the beach, nearby restaurants and supermarkets. Aircon good. Would stay again.
