The hosts are really nice :) they managed to get us a parking spot (and even parked the car for us, because we could not manage to get into a difficult parking Spot, Thank You again!!), they gave us a helpful number for Trips to Theth and they are even taking care of our backpack during our Trip to Theth. The Communication is Really easy because their english is really good and they were easy to reach by phone even early in the Morning :) the Room was clean and comfortable and they have a lovely garden to spend the Night and have a drink! Thank You for Your hospitality!

You need to be back to the hostel before 12:00 at night, like Cinderella.

“Good and quiet place near the city center!”
Vey well located and we were lucky enough to have the whole floor for us. Everything was clean and quiet. The cafe had the best coffee in Shkoder according to my coffee-lover partner!

“Lovely guesthouse, love the common garden, kitchen, balcony and small livingroom. VERY clean!”
What a great place this is. Not only because it is a hostel, because of the great garden, nice and funny personel, the common kitchen and relatively kind pricing. What I loved most is that it is an open minded place for youth, women and men. A place that in itself is not ‘all about the money’ and more ‘about the soul’. About making a difference in society. Thank you for being an inspiration!
