Reviews of Queen-V Hostel

From the moment I stepped into this hostel, I knew it was something special. It's not just a place to stay—it's an experience, a feeling, a little slice of peace in a busy world. What sets this hostel apart is the atmosphere: warm, clean, incredibly welcoming, and full of soul. This is a family-run hostel, and you can feel that love and care in every detail. It's not like the big, impersonal hostels that feel like factories for tourists. Here, you're treated like a guest in someone's home. The owner Niko is one of the kindest, most patient people I’ve ever met. A true dreamer, he has taken this place and turned it into something truly unique. from the peaceful common spaces to the cozy rooms to the thoughtful layout that invites you to slow down, breathe, and just be. This hostel is designed for travelers who want more than just a bed. It's for those seeking a break from the chaos, a place to recharge, disconnect from stress and work, and reconnect with themselves and others. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. If you're looking for a hostel that feels like a second home—somewhere peaceful, inspiring, and full of heart—this is it.

Everything is clean and new. You get privacy in your own little bedchamber. I really liked it here.

everything was so clean and cozy

This hostel is amazing! It’s very clean, has great facilities and a nice, chill vibe. Would definitely recommend for solo travellers!

The host was super friendly and I felt very welcomed. The place was also very pretty with a big front yard to hang out.

It was very clean, Nico is super helpful and friendly whenever you need him!

The sleeping place was comfortable and kind of private despite living together in the same room with other people. The hostel was clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. I am thankful to Niko for helping me with the laptop, when I needed it. The first day of my arrival he organized a grill for everyone. There is a yard with chairs and a rest zone so everyone has enough space. For this price I highly recommend it.

I would add some hooks to the wall of the sleeping pod so people can hang some things. The bedroom door is very loud, so it may be disturbing for people with light sleep but I slept well.

Very friendly and helpful owners Clean and comfortable Near supermarkets and bus station Comfy bed with curtain, individual light and enough space to put your things near your bed. The garden is a good place to chill Good aircon to survive the heat outside

A 20 min walk from the beach Small kitchen but it's doing the job No sign on the property so was not easy to find

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, Nico and his sister are super welcoming and friendly. Great location, amazingly clean facilities. You can buy refreshments at the hostel. Highly recommend.

Nothing to dislike

Everything is wow for the price

Very clean, great staff. Niko (the host) is a problem solver and a great people person. His family does a magnificent job of assisting in running the hostel. They provide free fruit from their fruit trees, free beer on some nights, and great conversation. They've lived in this area for generations and have a vast wealth of knowledge and experience of Vlore's history. Very good air conditioning, showers, kitchen (with oven and stove). Undoubtedly the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Book your stay before the demand inevitably raises prices.

The dorm's sliding door is a bit noisy.

Brilliant idea to build the beds from wood like that, I loved it - they were sturdy and so much privacy! There is room next to the matress for your stuff, there is a private lamp and power point plus locker.

The folding door was so noisy. You could hear everyone during the night coming in and out. That was really annoying.

Excellent small family run hostel 10mins walk from the Old Town/Bus station and 25mins walk to the beach. Nearby the hostel are many cheap cafes, bakeries and supermarkets, restaurants are a 5-10min walk. The comfortable AC pod beds are well designed with lots of space, a reading light, socket, locker and curtain. Kitchen is well stocked and cleaned regularly. The amazing family really do go out of their way to keep everything clean and make sure you are enjoying your stay. Highly recommended, and make sure you meet Luna the dog. She's a star. (On Google maps look for Cliff Beach, near Hotel Liro for a great (free) clear water swimming spot)

Everything was great.

The best hostel in Vlorë without a doubt. The whole staff team is so sweet, always helped out, and even gave free beer. It’s so clean as well, never been to a hostel better than this.

Wonderful hostel. Lovely bunks with a lot of privacy, plus a lot of space for travelers with too much luggage. :) Everything was kept clean, nice and tidy. Warm and welcoming people, and a location that has quick access to anything you might want, though far enough from the noise of the city center. It offers more than other hostels for a lower price.

If you're looking for an affordable accomodation away from the usual touristy hustle, this is the place to go. The young owner Nico is a very welcoming hosts who takes care of all his guests in an amazing way. A/C and Wifi were very good, so were the facilities in general.

As a very tall person you might have issues with the length of the matresses and the restriction caused by the ladder in the back of the bed.

Nico was the best Host ever . Together with his Volunteers he created such a welcoming and cute atmosphere- i hope more people will find that lovely place:)

Fast speed wifi and super clean place

Free wifi, personal charge point and good vibes here ♥️ I wish I can stay here longer but Albanian beautiful Beaches is calling (I answer))). Thanks Miko!

very clean, with comfortable beds with privacy, fully equipped kitchen, close to the historical city centre and bus station. super friendly and helpful host :)

The property is an apartment owned by a lovely family, it has a private gate. It hosts around 10 people, and it is like an airbnb. It was perfect for a 3 night stay. The Hostel is brand new and clean.
