Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    One of the best hostels that I've stayed at! Fantastic location with really friendly and helpful staff. They can help arrange activities such as the Valbona to Theth hike amongst others and settle transportations for you. They also have mexican dinners for 3 euros and karaoke nights on certain days. Drinks were cheap and it was really easy to socialise with people in the garden area. The huge breakfast spread was a bonus. Absolutely love this place!

    Price is very cheap so great value for money. Located in the central tourist streets, the safest and cleanest part of the city, even if you do not stay here I strongly recommend staying nearby. Hostel has decent kitchen facilities. All the staff (and the people staying while I was there) were really friendly.

    Great location, easy access to buses and even direct shuttles to some of the popular destinations. Breakfast is included and actually really good! Clean bathrooms and hot water (which feels like luxury compared to most hostels I've stayed at). Pretty views, a big garden with plenty of spaces to work remotely! All the rooms lock properly and I felt very safe. Staff are friendly and ready to help at nearly any hour. I'd recommend staying here if you're visiting shkodër and want to feel close to local culture.

    The hostel was absolutely amazing. Nice chill area with hammocks, table tennis, and plenty of space. Great location - close to many bars, restaurants, and shops.. But who cares about bars when there is a one in the hostel with cheap drinks and beer! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed wa comfy and the breakfast was super rich, and delicious. From me a Big Ten and I would highly recommend this hostel while staying in Shkodër.
