    There was no specific parking near the hostel. It was difficult to find street parking nearby.

    The location was great for walking around Shkoder! We traveled to Theth National Park with our own rental car from the hostel and it worked perfectly. The dogs were cute.

    After a long travel day, walking through the hostel gates felt like entering another world - and we quickly began calling it our safe haven. The colourful walls, hammocks, tortoises and kind staff made us feel immediately at home. With both the hostel's organisation of our transportation to Theth and the delicious traditional breakfast, we felt well looked after. A day here was as joyful as a day in the city and we couldn't recommend more.

    Great value for a friendly hostel in an excellent location! I would be happy to stay here again.

    • Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The main problem I had was that the bunk bed was quite shaky and squeaky. I was sleeping on the bottom bunk, while the guest on the top bunk was tossing and turning during the night. Also, there was no shelf where I could put my phone while it was charging, so I had to either put it on the floor or on my bed next to the mattress. The WiFi signal was weak in my room, but I was OK because I had data. A deposit is required to borrow a lock (for the locker), but the reception isn't open during the night, so if you leave very early in the morning, you can't get the deposit back unless you return the lock the night before. (I suppose another alternative is to keep the lock in this case.)

    This hostel is in an excellent location near restaurants, a money exchange shop, and a museum. It's a great value no matter which room option you choose. The vibe at the hostel is laid-back and friendly, and the staff are professional and helpful. I appreciate that we have to take off our shoes at the entrance and wear slippers inside. The hostel offers bike rental and has useful information about intercity transportation and activities. There is a sufficient number of toilets, showers, and sinks.

    Lovely homely feeling hostel with helpful and welcoming staff and bags of character. Really loved hearing about the history of this house and the amazing strong women who have lived there.

    Since the beginning we have immediately felt super welcoming. The guy in the reception, Sam, is an incredible soul, really patient. In fact he showed us around all the hostel, because we didn't really know where we wanted to sleep. The room where we decided to stay was the Suite 1 and we were so impressed of how beautiful it was! Clean, with a private bathroom and an incredible bohemien atmosphere. We stayed there for the new year and Christmas, without really a plan and far away from home. But was a surprise to see that the hostel organized and incredible dinner all together, where every kind of guest could take something to offer and to share! Really like a big family! In the morning we decided to try the amazing Albanian breakfast for a affordable cost of 5 €/person and was really worth it! We tried homemade Petula, which are like tradition Albanian pancake and a lot of other local stuff. Super, what can we say! Thank you for everything!

    It’s a wonderful Hostel with a beautiful atmosphere. The employees are very friendly und bring a good energy in this place. At the check in you become very good Information about the city and Albania, so you have many options for activities and a free Raki (: The three dogs and one cat are so cute and relax. If you want, you can socialising with other people, play with the instruments or take time for yourself in a quiet area. The Hostel is very clean and inviting. The breakfast is very cheap, but so delicious. You can rent Mountainbikes to explore the wonderful area. You need 10 min with the Bike and you are in the nature, with mountains and a beautiful view. Maybe, this Hostel is the best in Albania - you have to visit it when you in this country. Thank you for the great stay in this amazing Hostel.

    Cosy laid back hostel with a great relaxed atmosphere. Visiting in November they have a log stove on keeping the spacious common area nice and warm. Big kitchen and delicious breakfasts provided as extra. Well staffed and kept clean to a high standard. Nothing to fault here. I had a very pleasant stay. Well equipped for activities and bikes for hire.

    I stayed in a private room, so I can’t complain about anything.

    Wow. What a unique property! An old historic house. Lots of great atmosphere. Great location. They’ll rent you a bicycle to go to the fort. The staff is wonderful. I could have spent an hour just taking photos of the facility.

    This is more about the location description on booking.com. It's described as being in front of the cinema. It is actually behind and to the left of the hotel across the street from the cinema.

    Great bohemian laid back vibe. Great kitchen, comfortable communal areas. Helpful and informative staff. In town but quiet.

    Very clean and comfortable room with private bathroom. The hostel is also very conveniently located and staff are very knowledgeable about places to eat in Shkoder and provided many recommendations on things to see and do. They are super friendly and easy going as were many of the people who also stayed. The building (interior and exterior) and surrounding garden is also really beautiful + the common areas inside and out are very comfortable. There is access to a bar with raki, beer and wine and also bicycle hire available. Staff were also extremely helpful in organising our trip to Valbona/Theth from Shkoder - they organised ferry and bus tickets for us. Best hostel we have stayed in.

    The bikes for hire at 7 EU are expensive. Wouldn't mind if they were functioning.

    This is such a wonderful place to chill for a few days. Probably weeks. The laid back welcoming atmosphere, excellent kitchen and varying living areas. Beautiful historic building furnished with many vintage treasures. Our suite was nicely done with artworks, kilims and rugs and antique furniture. Very romantic! Staff are very accommodating and offer good info.
