Reviews of Center House Hostel

Great location- lockers provided - secure building

You trip over the first step inside the building as it’s dark. There is no tissue in the toilet, no towels provided or available for hire. The number of occupants is 90% male- so it can feel uncomfortable for women. One of the dorm rooms opened out on to a balcony area where there was constant cigarette smoke. The other dorm rooms- the balcony door would be shut by men multiple times- every-time I opened it to air out the room they would try to close it saying it’s to make it less noisy from the street. The men would then spray aftershave and deodorant in the dorm room then close the door to the room so that you suffocate in their body odour and sprays- before they go out for more partying. There were long term occupants who were staying for months who would bring in bin bags of clothes and move multiple suitcases around each day- they kept swapping bunks each day due to new dorm tenants coming in and out? The bathroom was left very dirty by previous occupants. It would be helpful to provide a bin in the bathroom and a bathroom mat and a mop so that the room isn’t so wet and slippery. The owner is speaks many languages are gives very helpful and useful local information.

The hostel is located 1 mnt away from the central. The owner was very nice... with only 2 Euro he gave a room which was really good. It was only me in the room.

The matras need to be changed as it is already all.

Best

Safe hostel with your own room. Host is super friendly and welcomes you with options around the city. Other guests were nice.

Common room has no immediate access to light so seems dark. Kitchen could be left with uncleaned dishes.

The owner is very nice and helpful and the hostel is welcoming and well-located.

Everything was good.

Host is friendly and accommodating. Check in was easy. Location was great right in city center. AC and hot water worked well. Guests were friendly. Overall 10/10

Air conditioned rooms and great location!

Kitchen wasn’t very clean and only 1 toilet and shower which were both not very clean

Location - it is in the center and technically within the proximity of major landmarks The staff is ever ready to assist, with friendly behavior and accommodating.

The hostel is on the 5th floor and reachable only by climbing the stairs, so a big no for someone with heavy luggage.and it is not stated in the description. Room has no AC, not even electric fan, just a basic ventilation from the window, not soundproof and Unfortunately, i got disturbed by apathetic guests in who played his mobile and laptop with high volume sound in the living area instead of staying in his room. And worse, the 2 of them were both smoking (and the hostel is a non-smoking property)

Very close to the city center — actually, it feels like it’s right in the center. Mother Teresa Street is just around the corner. Supermarkets and restaurants are nearby. It felt safe, with many people walking around even late at night. The owner was very helpful. He explained how to go to other cities and how to check the bus schedules. There is a washing machine and space to hang clothes, and detergent is also available. There is a small, simple kitchen. There are lockers — they’re a bit small, but good enough for a laptop or tablet. A backpack won’t fit unless it’s very compact. There is a bus stop very close to the hostel. From the long-distance bus station, it takes about 30 minutes on foot (Google Maps shows a longer route, so I recommend using Maps.me for a shorter one). You might want to take a bus or taxi instead. The price was very reasonable.

The Wi-Fi speed was not very fast (12 Mbps when I measured it). It’s not really the hostel’s fault, but it’s located on an upper floor of a building and can be hard to find at first.Look for the sign with the hostel’s name on it!

When I entered this hostel, owner gave me good coffee. I felt relieved from that coffee. Owner was so kind and polite. They have enough facilities to stay this hostel. Prices are affordable.

Nothing

The location is excellent, but be sure to read their instructions on how to find them. They've got a sign on the 4th floor balcony. Enter the staircase below it, then push the "Hostel" button at the door. Walk up 4 flights of stairs... Great view. The couple of "social areas" are tight but comfortable. You can't get much cheaper, but this really is a situation where you get what you pay for.

I specifically asked for a non-smoking room. They confirmed there's no smoking inside the rooms, BUT failed to mention that smoking is allowed on the room's balcony. Most smokers don't bother closing the windows and doors, so it IS a smoking room. I get that it would be impossible to ask smokers to walk down 4 flights of stairs to smoke, but don't say it's a non-smoking room. While surfaces are wiped down, swept, and vacuumed daily, the apartment is really run down. The toilet room smells of sewage, and I was afraid to walk in without shoes. Don't even get me started on the kitchen, but this is more of a guest enforcement issue. My locker key was extremely difficult to operate. Beds can use curtains and a light. Honestly, I could endlessly pick this place apart. I almost never write bad reviews like this. I can handle almost anything, but this is certainly a hostel I won't visit again.

Location.

Everytime the person in the Top bunk moved, so did the whole bunk itself , which kept me awake. Although non smoking room, people were allowed to smoke on the balcony, which made the non smoking room actually smoking. Pointless. And 1 toilet and bathroom isn't enough for the amount of people staying there.

Excellent hostel in a great location. The owner was super helpful during my stay. Free coffee & tea and free laundry service huge plus for travellers The vibe was nice and easy going and if I was to return to kosovo that is where I would stay again!

This home-like hostel has some advantages and some disadvantages. It is in the best area of ​​the city. Everything is close to it and it is very cheap. But one of its disadvantages is that there is no special care for cleanliness. The bed sheet of the bed I got was old and not clean. And the light in the room was turned on and off at will. Which caused a lot of disturbance in my sleep.

Staff and calm environment

Nothing

Clean and friendly staff 👌🏽

Great location, city center. It is very cozy, warm, and most importantly, this is a gentleman who handles all matters, is always ready to help and if such help is needed, he will instantly solve any issue. Ten out of ten, I recommend it.

kitchen is good. free use of washing machine as well

little smell of smoke

The hostel is super well located and very central and the value for money is good 😊

The toilet was really dirty, I felt a bit disgusted. That could be improved.

Super welcome very clean in the city centre of Prishtina,

Great location next to the central square, 15 min walk from the bus station, thr owner helpful and kind.

Not a clean place. The bathroom was really dirty when I arrive. The kitchen was full of dishes when I arrive, could not even drink water. Depends of the guests if are clean or not, but to respect the common spaces, is a respect that comes from the management.

Nice place to stay in Prishtina. Great location and nice views from the balcony. The owner was very welcoming and thoughtful. I had a good time there.
