    Very short stay unfortunately. But a great place, friendly and kind staff, there is also a very good guitar, I enjoyed playing it a bit :)

    Only thing is that there is only one shared shower so had to wait but there is toilets out side. But very good value for money

    Felt like a slice of home being at this hostel. The family that run it are so accomodating and made me feel very safe and welcomed. There is a free breakfast which was an omlette and bread with jam. It was a nice social hostel. The owner helped us organise transport to our bus. Overall loved my stay here and would 100% stay again

    Great hostel with an amazing atmosphere. Not too crazy and not too quiet. Just the right social atmosphere. The hostel owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Anything you need to know about Vlorë, they will tell you. The receptionist was also super nice and helped me with a lot of stuff ;). Thank you all for the amazing stay. I won’t forget it.

    The hostel has a very good location, only few minutes away from the main beach, restaurants, bars and main attractions.. The owners are amazing, very kind and helpful with whatever you need to know and do around Vlore; the stay really felt like home! I was even checked in early upon my request and got breakfast that day even though I wasn't supposed to. Also, you can cook in the hostel's kitchen and refrigerate your food.

    We rented the bikes and there was only 1 good bike. The others felt like they were riding us instead 😂😂

    The owner was soooo lovely and very knowledgeable for great places to eat and see! Great location by the sea!

    The rooms are good and big enough I think but the only thing for me it is the mattress was maybe old and not always comfortable but I think for one-two nights are okay.

    The hostel is a family owned hostel. They are incredibly kind and helpful with everything you need to know about the the location and things to do and to go. It is really close to the beach so you can just walk there and in 5 mins you are there. The breakfast is simple and good with coffee as well. The common areas outside are nice and really cozy, you can connect with many people. It is in a quite area so you will not hear the cars during the night.

    The only bad thing was the cleanliness in the main bathroom. The toilet wouldn’t flush sometimes, but other than that it was ok!

    Super nice hostel with the friendliest staff, the owners really care about the good vibe and helped us out with whatever we needed! The outside space has many seating areas and also a bar. Every morning we got served breakfast for free, which was a big bonus!

    Good location, local bus stop near the hostel every 20-30 minutes, and you can get to bus station vlora, a lot of market near the hostel. But it is better to the beach far away from hostel, because on Longmaure beach canalisation near the beach

    The beds were so big I couldn’t read my second girlfriend in the night when I woke. Has too much fun and woke up hungover.

    Eva and Festim were great! Thanks for coming out with us and the parking recommendation! The beds and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great and everyone was really friendly. Festim brought out his guitar at one point and we even had a sing along to some traditional songs! Eva was very hospitable and knew the best restaurants and bars to hit!

    Really quaint and social hostel run by a very friendly husband and wife. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and the entire atmosphere felt very homely. Despite it being a social hostel, it wasn’t a ‘party’ hostel which meant the vibes were always just a really easy and calm level of fun.
