The host was the most lovely person I've ever met! She's a gem of a person and cooks the most delicious food I've eaten in Albania!

Julie and her husband were so very kind during our stay. She packed our breakfast to bring to the Komani Lake trip, which they organised at a great price. (Looooove the banana fritters and the potato/carrot Ragu pastries!!). Street parking, but very safe and plenty of space - and Julie and her husband will help guide your parking lol. If you are a very light sleeper, you might find it too noisy with the natural sounds (as you would anywhere in the city I reckon), however, if you sleep through fine, or have earplugs, this place won't be any bother at all. It's all very clean, a 15 min walk from the centre, which is perfect. Their hospitality was just great, and we had a 1-2 hour long breakfast chat with them on our last day as they were so interesting and lovely to chat with!! Would definitely stay here if we went back to Shkoder, and have already recommended this place to other travellers. Hope to chat with you guys again!! Xx

Luli and his welcoming wife treated me like a family member and not a guest. They helped me as much as they could by suggesting what to do and where to go , providing bus tickets for activities , offering tasty breakfast and tea and trying to do their best so as to let the guests feel at ease. Thanks a bunch. The location was also good . I highly recommend friendship dorms hostels. You won't regret it.

“Faleminderit”
The attention and predisposition of the owners who were attentive to everything at all times. They don't have pictures here but they have a super varied menu to offer and the lady cooks very, very delicious. I also liked that it is a relatively new project that little by little they are improving the place, its location. I've been traveling for a couple of years and this place is super recommended! I hope that if you read this you will choose this place...

Oh my God don't even get me on their asian dining menu, it's so good we couldn't find anything better during our entire trip, and that's not just taste and presentation alone, but with their exceptionally cheap prices as well. We were able to get two full meals for each of us, for only 8 Euros. The laundry service is superb as well, they wash your clothes properly. The room is clean, and they even provide you with your own kitchen, kettle, living room and many more. Wifi speed is top tier, big toilets with dry and wet separation. Definitely a 10 out of 10 stay.

Very cute hosts who always were available for our questions and needs. The breakfast was delicious and definitely not boring. Everything was clean and tidy and the location calm but close to city center. Also the other guests were very kind. We loved being guests here. Thank you, sister!🧡

“A home away from home in Shkoder with an amazing couple and delicious food!”
Me and my mum had a fantastic stay at Julie and Luli's place in Shkoder and felt right at home! Being low season, we were given a choice of room and stayed in their family room on the upper floor. Big, cosy room, comfortable beds and had an option to use the facilities on the top floor or at the bottom. We especially enjoyed hanging out in the top floor living room with great views over Shkoder to the mountains! The lovely husband and wife that run this place are what makes this place special. Julie is a fantastic cook and breakfasts were hearty, creative and different every morning (we often couldn't finish it, and had the leftovers for lunch!). Julie is a fellow vegetarian, so you can be sure that the veggie options are equally as tasty! And we definitely recommend ordering from her menu for dinner (the Crispy Chicken Rice and the Vegetarian Fried Rice were delicious). They are happy to help and chat as much or as little as you like. They looked after our luggage during our overnight in Theth and prepared us packed breakfasts. For our onward travel to Ulcinj, it turned out one of their neighbours is the bus driver. Luli arranged for us to put our suitcases on the bus early so we could just turn up at Rozafa Hotel leaving point later on. Friendship Dorms is in a quiet residential area at the bottom of the road from the Stadium. Close to markets, shops and starting the walk / bike ride to the castle or lake. It's also about 15 minutes from the centre and main roundabout to catch buses. So it's the perfect base for exploring Shkoder! We would definitely stay with Julie and Luli again, and are excited to see their accommodation and cooking business grow over time! All the best to them both :D

I had a great time here. This couple is so lovely, so helpful and welcome. They give you everything you need to explore the area. The lake is very close and it is nice to rent a bike from the hostel a bike and go on a bike tour.
