    I liked everything. My story began very strangely- my flight was delayed, and I needed to find somewhere to stay at 4 AM. They welcomed me and didn’t leave me outside, which was a wonderful gesture. The hostel was very clean and comfortable- definitely worth the money. The Wi-Fi worked very well too. Most importantly, the hostel has wonderful staff who are always ready to help and assist. I highly recommend this place. I stayed there every time I arrived in Tirana, and before returning to my country, I chose to stay with them again.

    The place is still in development and needs to fix a few things but it’s a good place. Value for money for sure!

    Everyone was friendly and this place has 2 big terraces. Mikel the host was ready for any questions and help you needed. Ordering a taxi cab for example. The place is really close to the new bazar.

    Nothing! Everything was amazing

    Everything! The bed is really comfortable and the common space is spacious and really cool. You have a kitchen with everything you need to make your meals. You can also enjoy the amazing rooftop. The owner is very friendly guy and he really loves bringing people together in his cool hostel. The location is just perfect. I stayed there for 7 nights and everything I was interested in just few minutes away by foot.

    A bit difficult to find because there is no sign with the name. No fan and ac so it's a bit warm in the room until you get fresh air from outside. Not every bed has a power plug.

    Well located with 15 minutes walking time to the centre and bus station. Comfy beds and you even get a towel. Easy check in and it's a really quiet neighborhood

    I spent only a night here, but this is the coolest looking hostel living room I've seen. It was very clean and the host was also really helpful, he waited for us even tho we arrived pretty late.

    No key for main gate so everytime you come back you need to ring the bell and wait for someone to unlock the door. The air conditioner is comparatively weak, the room is still quite hot during summer. Only two socket in room for charging phone.

    Super tidy and clean dorm room. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is big enough. Location is fair, around 15minute walk to center. The host is super friendly with good hospitality.

    The worst vacation ever...

    I didn't stay there as nobody was there for a check in. In the middle of the night I didn't have where to sleep so I had to call taxi again to bring me back to the main bus station and wait for the first bus to my final destination Sarande. As a result of stress and not sleeping I got sick the next day and my vacation is ruined. Thank you very much.

    Terrible experience — disrespect, threats, and abusive behavior from the owner

    If you value basic respect, avoid I Hostel. The building is new, but the conditions are unbearable: there are 12 beds per room, the air conditioning hasn’t worked since the hostel opened, and one of the bathrooms was broken during my entire stay. On top of that, not everything shown in the photos is actually available or functioning — for example, the jacuzzi or hot tub shown online was not working at all. At night, the gate is locked and guests have to ring the bell to get in, which wakes up everyone trying to sleep. I booked for 2 days at first, and since the beginning, the owner was making racist comments and light threats. Later, I booked one more night through Booking.com because I really needed to stay an extra day. When he saw that I had booked again, he told me I had to cancel because he would not accept a “Latino pi3c3 of $h!t” in his hostel. When I told him I had the right to stay because I had a confirmed reservation, and that if he wanted to cancel it, he should do it himself, he started threatening me, saying he would stab me and send gangs after me. I also witnessed him behaving inappropriately toward female guests, suggesting that some were staying for free in exchange for sexual favors. This was by far the worst experience I’ve had while traveling. I felt unsafe, humiliated, and completely disrespected. Someone like Mechel should not be allowed to run any hospitality business. Avoid this place at all costs.

    The girls who work there were kind and gentle. They treated me with respect and tried to help whenever they could. But unfortunately, they are nothing like the owner, who is there all the time. His behavior was abusive, racist, and threatening and that’s what made my stay unacceptable.
