    Cozy little huts with AC (!) which really saved us during 35 degree Celsius heat. Shared bathroom and shower were okay. The location is a bit further from the busier tourist / hostel streets but it’s easy enough to walk there. Big supermarket just around the corner. Very nice if you spend a few nights in Shkoder.

    It had a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The other customers were also quite calm, friendly, and polite. The place offers a colorful atmosphere with its spacious garden. The bathrooms were clean and the rooms were spacious too.

    Having only one main light in each room can be a bit of a hassle for those arriving later than others. Therefore, it would be a good idea to have at least a reading light for each bed.

    Comfortable private room. Great hosts. Close to downtown and the busses. Extremely easy to plan and book tours through the hostel. Laundry can be had for 5€

    I don’t really recall breakfast or a kitchen to cook

    Very easy, small and convenient!

    You can rent a bike but they are in very bad condition.

    Spacious rooms with comfy, clean beds and aircon, relaxing outdoor communal space with hammocks and seating and a bar. Friendly hosts who were super helpful and welcoming. They'll help you organise day trips and will store your bags safely if you plan to spend a few days in the Alps hiking. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Shkoder 😊

    There's no kitchen which may be an issue for some backpackers, and its a bit of a walk to the centre (15 mins) but it wasn't really a bad thing, just a point to note.

    Friendly staff, Easy parking outside the hostel. Clean rooms and nice outdoor space.

    There was no other people. I was recommended a different hostel with the same name "Shkodra backpackers hostel". This hostel is called "The hood".

    The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Good value for money and just a short stroll in to the city centre. The playful cats at the property provided much entertainment!

    Not much by way of kitchen facilities to be able to prepare/heat own meals/tea/coffee.

    Property response:

    Lianne thank u for your review! That’s true we don’t have a shared kitchen But we have all the facilities to prepare coffee /tea Only u had to ask me as I told u Than we could bring to u everything u need . Wish u all the best

    Cute cabine and space for bikes in the garden. Cute and clean place.

    It's a bit pricey for the service.

    Very nice, quiet hostel with a great outdoor area. Klaus and his parents are very accommodating and endeavoured to ensure that everything is fine. Everything is super clean and well organised. There is a small bar in the garden with drinks, beer and coffee. The city centre with all its restaurants and bars is only a 15-minute walk away. And it's very quiet around the hostel in the evening. Klaus helped us organise the bus transport to Theth with pick-up directly from the hostel. My highlight was watching the kitten’s playing and cuddling in the garden. They certainly attract a lot of attention. 10/10
