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!

The owners are such kind people who made our stay so beautiful by welcoming us as if we were part of the family! They were taking care for everything we needed (you can wash your clothes for free), brought fruits and drinks, and even surprised us with an incredible dinner with lots of laughter and exchange using different languages in order to understand each other. It was more than special and I fully recommend. Thank you very much!

It's a family run business. They are all 3 very welcoming and do their best to help you with all your needs. It moved me having such a warm smile and welcome after a long day on the road. The location is right in the heart of the old town. The place is clean, tidy and neat.

The hostel is still very new and you can tell. I really liked the bed. It had a power socket, its own light, a curtain and was spacious so that you could sit in bed and relax. It was also comfortable. Showers and toilets were outside the room and also separate, which I personally always like. The wifi worked very well. In the room and also in the lounge/kitchen. There was also a great breakfast. Which is always good if you want to get to know the people in the hostel. Everything was really very clean. The location is also good. You can quickly get to the public beach with various restaurants and various supermarkets are also not far away. The bus terminal for the bus to Tirana is also close by.

"A wonderful stay! The place was very clean and comfortable. It's located very close to the city center, yet in a quiet neighborhood that offers peace and relaxation. The large balconies and the terrace with sea view were absolutely amazing! The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped – perfect even for longer stays. I felt very safe and at ease during my solo trip. I would wholeheartedly recommend it!"

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.
