We booked one of the cabins and it was fantastic. The hostel is cute and lovingly decorated, not right in the center but within easy walking distance of everything, and therefore very quiet. The host Klaus is super kind and helpful. The cabin is air-conditioned, very clean and well-maintained, as are the shower and toilet. Everything worked perfectly, without any waiting times and absolutely hassle-free. We originally planned to stay only 2 nights, but extended to 4 because we liked it so much. Absolutely recommendable :)

“Cozy huts for 2, a bit away from the crowds”
Cozy little huts with AC (!) which really saved us during 35 degree Celsius heat. Shared bathroom and shower were okay. The location is a bit further from the busier tourist / hostel streets but it’s easy enough to walk there. Big supermarket just around the corner. Very nice if you spend a few nights in Shkoder.

“Friendly hosts and great facilities!”
Spacious rooms with comfy, clean beds and aircon, relaxing outdoor communal space with hammocks and seating and a bar. Friendly hosts who were super helpful and welcoming. They'll help you organise day trips and will store your bags safely if you plan to spend a few days in the Alps hiking. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Shkoder 😊

“Super relaxed hostel with beautiful garden”
Very nice, quiet hostel with a great outdoor area. Klaus and his parents are very accommodating and endeavoured to ensure that everything is fine. Everything is super clean and well organised. There is a small bar in the garden with drinks, beer and coffee. The city centre with all its restaurants and bars is only a 15-minute walk away. And it's very quiet around the hostel in the evening. Klaus helped us organise the bus transport to Theth with pick-up directly from the hostel. My highlight was watching the kitten’s playing and cuddling in the garden. They certainly attract a lot of attention. 10/10
