    Great to have a free carpark even though it was a busy night in the city. Beds were super comfy (but pillows not so). Everything was as expected thanks!

    Great value for money, and the room is very clean. The staff were also very accommodating of our late check-in due to bus delays. I would definitely recommend it if you are only in Shkoder for a stopover

    Noise from the game bar below us and from outside, morning sunlight coming in and sink not working. Also the numbers given for contact by WhatsApp didn't work on WhatsApp.

    Good location, bedroom size and nice rooftop (which we didn't use because it was too hot).

    It seems a bit neglected and lacked a proper staff presence. This wasn’t a huge problem but in that respect it felt more like a self-check-in Airbnb than a proper hostel. A lot of mosquitoes in my bedroom and in the common toilet. None of this would stop me staying here again - and it is good value at the price.

    The room is quite large, has AC and fridge, and is well soundproofed. The location is super central and dry useful for transport (morning minibuses for Valbona and Theth leave from right in front of the hotel opposite) and eating out. There’s a great rooftop common area with views over the city center to the mountains.

    Excellent location, right beside the arrival and departure point of most buses. Clean accomodation and decent sized rooms The staff allowed me to leave my main luggage in the hostel when I went on a two day trek to the Albanian Alps.

    There were never any staff on the premises, only one guy when we checked in but never saw him again after that.

    The location is great! close to the bus for going to Tirana or Theth.... The room itself is comfortable, clean and quite... It is a good place to stay for a layover in Skhoder.

    Ela is a great host, she made sure we had everything we needed. She was very helpful in arranging luggage storage and car parking for our trip to Theth. Very clean and airconditioned rooms and beautiful rooftop with views of Shkoder. Central location, few steps from the centre. Definitely recommend!

    Great Host! Very helpful, open and cheerful. The Hostel is near the various Bus stops (Tirana, Theth, Koman), and near all the busy Walking streets. Great rooftop where you can enjoy the evening, also possible to Store food. Luggage can also be left there.
