I loved the view of the terrace and very kind people working in the hostel. Perfect if you need to do remote work, relax and enjoy town vibes. Room 2 and 3 have fantastic view from the balcony too!

They are an incredibly nice and hospitable family! They treated me like a daughter or family member. If you want to experience Albanian hospitality and generosity, you should stay here. The owners are so kind; they even took me to the doctor when I fell in the bazaar. They are also great cooks, and I was lucky enough to be included in a family barbecue. If you want to experience true Albanian hospitality, choose this guesthouse. The room is also very quiet, and there is a lovely garden too.

The hostel was clean and nice. I stayed in a female room. The bathroom was in the room. Each bed has a bedlight to use at night. There was AC in the room, which was great. There are also lockers in the room. Towels are provided. Towels and bedsheets are changed whenever needed. There is a spacious common area where guests can spend time, socialize etc. The hostel provide a washing machine (much needed during summer), an equipped kitchen, a terrace (with beautiful view over the city and the sea) and outdoor area equipped to dry your clothes. The internet was ok, I could work from the hostel. In the kitchen there is a water dispenser with cold and hot water. Also, at the tap a filter is installed to have drinkable water. The owners are friendly and always trying to help with anything. Thank you so much for hosting me! Overall, I had a great time at this hostel. :D

The room and bathroom were large, clean and well equipped, plus the balcony was just outstanding: very spacious and with a good view. The staff was very nice and helpful, they even allowed us to have a late check out when we asked for it at the last minute. Will definitely visit again when we come back to Sarandë!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
