  • Hostel The Old Gate Review score: 10

    “The host is the nicest guy that I've met in whole Albania. He cares a lot about the place and visitors - after long and exhausting hike he even shared his dinner with me. I really enjoyed my stay there :)) Rooms was clean and spacious - I like that beds are single and there is only 3 of them, it's just more comfy and cameral.”

  • Hostel Xarba Review score: 10

    “I loved everything about this accommodation. The hosts are really kind & welcoming and their approach was lovely after weeks of traveling. The 4-bed dorm room was fantastic - with extra-long and very comfortable beds. Each bed is provided with a crisp, waffle cotton bathrobe, a large bath towel, a small bath towel, sheets, and a bath mat. Quilts are available too. The bathrobe was one of the many extra touches that made it really welcoming and homey. I was also offered grapes, and figs from their tree, on arrival. The breakfast was generous and delicious. On my return from sightseeing, I was also given a refreshing bowl of watermelon, figs and grapes. I was in the 4-bed dorm and it has a balcony with clothes rail. The air con worked really well, too. The dorm is really peaceful and quiet. The bathroom is clean, with a hairdryer and washing machine. There is also a lovely paved courtyard garden with tables and seats, where I had the generous and delicious breakfast. There is also a shared kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, kettle, toasted sandwich maker and pots, plates, cups etc if you wish to make a snack or dinner. The location is excellent. I was dropped off by bus from Tirana at 10pm and was easily able to walk to the hostel - there were only a couple of turns. Note: Google maps calls it the ‘Xarba Guest House’. The road is steep for the very last section to the hostel - but I felt this reduced the incline from the hostel up to the hilltop castle, the old market area and the two iconic old stone houses when I walked up. There are lots of restaurants in the old market area below the castle, so you could also easily eat there on the way back to the hostel after a day of sightseeing. It’s also a short walk to the well-stocked Star Supermarket from the hostel. If you come by bus, though, you could pick something up on the way.”

    “The beds were incredibly comfy - the comfiest beds we stayed in on this trip ! The room also didn't feel cramped for us (group of 3 friends) - we had a night in and watched a movie on the TV and had wine on the porch, it was lovely ! The guesthouse host is also very sweet. The breakfast was amazing, so much variety and so much food, we were impressed !”

  • Hotel Number One Review score: 10

    “We had a great receptionist, who gave us tips. We had a big large round bed which was super comfortable. We had a really good stay here and would recommend it to everyone! Just 5 minutes uphill to the old centre (keep in mind this is uphill so it could take a little longer haha)”
