Hostels in Përmet

Wonderful location in the countryside with view on the vineyards and hills. Lovely guesthouse with clean and beautiful rooms. Good diner!

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.

Everything was great, very clean with a nice balcony

The hostel is very cosy, with very comfortable beds, all brand new. Kitchen is small but functional, and since they keep everything clean and they do not host too many people, that's not a problem at all. Bathrooms are very clean and there are separate cabins for toilets and shower, so you normally don't have to wait to use it. They also provide towels. There's a terrace to chill if the weather is nice. And all that for a really good price. For being a small family business, there's not so much of a social atmosphere, more like a Guesthouse vibe. The owner is not around most of the time, but they provide the wifi password in the front door, so it's easy to reach her and arrange everything or ask for any kind of assistance. And, as most of the people I met in Albania, she was very kind and welcoming. Faleminderit 😊
