The doorms have no door and there is a super strong light in the corridor before getting in. It was consistently being turned on during the night. If you are light sensitive and eye mask is a must.

The staff was very helpful. All the recommendations for food and for tirana transportatio were spot on. They were very kind. Food at dinner time was very tasty.

Location, staff attention, safety, connected to a nice restaurant with live music.

Wifi signal was initially a bit difficult but settled. If you are not an animal lover then this stay is not for you as there are 2 cats, who are quite friendly.

The location is great. This was my first stay at a hostel, initially was sceptical. All in all the room was well kept , good breakfast and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

Polite host,

Stayed in May 2025

Facilities still need lots of improvement, cant really use the restaurant when it rains. Doesn't have a hostel energy at all. While I appreciate that there were no bunks, it felt like we could all watch eachother while sleeping.

Great location, good value, nice family style space, delicious breakfast, good lockers. I will probably come back and stay in a private room.

I had a fantastic stay at Bob Marley Hostel! The host was incredibly welcoming and shared fascinating stories about the city of Tirana, making me feel right at home. The cozy fireplace added a charming touch, and I loved sitting outside in the evenings with a cold beer, soaking in the atmosphere. One of the highlights was the soothing sound of rain on the roof, creating a peaceful ambiance. In the mornings, I was treated to fresh-pressed orange juice, a delightful start to the day. I especially appreciated how the staff went out of their way to make sure I had a smooth departure, even waking up early to let me out without any hassle. Overall, my experience was warm and inviting, and I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Tirana!

The staff was lovely - very helpful and friendly. The hostel is in a good location and having an almost 7/24 small bar in the picturesque garden.

Stayed in September 2025

All the staff members were extremely hospitable and made sure our stay was comfortable. The accomodation was clean, comfortable, and we enjoyed being around all the animals in the outdoor areas! The food and drinks were also delicious 👌 We were able to get Traditional Albanian dance lessons sorted by Joy which I would 100% recommend.

Pastas didn’t have much flavour. Room was right outside the bar area and was noisy til midnight. More for people who want to stay up and have a drink.

Very central and near bus stop. Outdoor garden area was nice.

They double booked the room, so I had to find another hotel. This happened on the day I was travelling to Albania and the day of the stay.

This hostel was very nice. However, here are the challenges I experienced: Showers and bathing areas were very clean, large, exceeded expectations. There are cats that are dieing, and thus lose bodily fluids on the bedding, which smells rather decrepit. The dorm room is all single twin beds - excellent. The location is two blocks one way from the central market, and two blocks the other way from VERY expensive Conan Italian Market. Hint- a grocer that is higher priced than California grocery stores in L.A. There is a weird guy from Albania that MIGHT be psychopathic who claims to have worked for the CIA. He has breathing problems, and will try to engage you in conversation about weird stuff, while also trying to infect you with various bronchial maladies, and also snooping through your stuff if you leave the hostel. Avoid this situation, because it is truly, virally insane. The children there are extremely lovable types who adore painting. The bedroom is weird. There is a window area of Bob Marley that not only has no A/C, but is also very closely aligned to poor building codes, so that rats and other vermin may easily access the dorm sleeping areas.

The atmosphere was amazing. Lots of cute animals in the yard, nice music and vibes. The staff was very friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Also the food served was very good and the prices were fair. 10/10 hostel! Would recommend for anyone visiting Tirana!!

It has a really nice vibe to it. The location is good and The lady that owns the place was very kind and I like that they have some cute pets there. Stumbled on a turtle by accident 🤣

Stayed in June 2025

This stay exceeded my expectations. The room was very beautiful and comfortable. Air conditioner, the bathroom was nice and everything clean.

Stayed in June 2025

The combination of an unfortunately situated Lemon room (I cannot really recommend this one: minimal narrow window, more like a goat shed in the past, directly adjacent to the bar open space) and an unbelievably ignorant staff in the late night hours until long after 1am (loud talking again and again righ behind the room front wall) was somehow too much even for myself, rather very tolerant person. Every single of our 3 other accomodations during our trip in the country(!) (and every breakfast..) was much more pleasant than this. Overall, the place IMO seems to lack maintenance and slowly verging to "faded glory". Which is a pity.

Great location close to the skanderbeg square and quite enjoyable menu, the lamb-one (we stayed for a dinner) was indeed delicious.

This place is very cozy. I felt myself like at home. It was my first time in Tirana and i think not the last. If I go again, I will definitely stay here again. The owner is amazing woman, very friendly and attentive. The room was cleaned every day, everything is new and modern. Hot water was every day. The breakfast is very tasty. The location is very comfortable, everything is very near. I liked to sit on the terrace in the evening and drink tea. If you are looking for a nice and calm place to stay it will be the best for one tourist, for a group of friends and for families as well. Thank you so much for everything.

Liked this accommodation so much, I booked it TWICE in the same month. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, warm heaters during the cold months and relaxed vibes. Oh and a beautiful garden / sitting area 10/10

The host was very kind, gentle, and hospitable! I loved my stay purely from how friendly and “homey” the vibe there was. Also, she has two cats who are the cutest, so bonus points if you like cats.

Arcolia & Bertie are two very creative people who have transformed a classic courtyard and building into a lovely garden restaurant/bar in the centre of Tirana. When I was there they were working on the last details, getting ready for an opening party to happen before Christmas and I wish I could have been there. They had a nice fire in the evenings during the colder season in a separate area of the courtyard and interesting conversations. They will help you get anything you would need, as well as advise on areas of Tirana to visit. I hope to have a chance to return and see the finished garden and lots of visitors!
