“Gemütliches Hostel, lädt zum Verweilen ein”
The red goat hostel was a definitive highlight of our two week trip in albania and the perfect arrival place in tirana. Laura, our host, creates a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and gives amazing tips. One of our favourite times was the breakfasts in the garden where we had a typically Albanian breakfast (omelette, tomatoes, bread and homemade jam!). The whole place is clean. The downstairs area is very cosy and all the guests were really nice and it was easy to make contact without it being forced. If you look for a relaxing and homey place, this is for you! Also Laura is involved with an Albanian charity supporting women, which is just amazing!

“Female led hostel with lovely vibe”
Hugs and kisses to Lora! Super happy about this find, would always go there again and gonna recommend all my friends. A place where you feel especially safe as a flinta* It’s been clean, cozy, chill, super friendly and for animal lovers like me there are waiting three little fluffy fellows for you. Thanks for this great start for my second Albania trip!

“Such a cool place”
Red Goat hostel was great to stay. I booked the upper floor, ıt was so clean and Laura made me feel very comfortable. She was very helpful, and honestly, I felt more relaxed and happy there than I did at the famous international hotel.

Best host and super fun to chat with in the great garden outside area. Super clean rooms and baths. The location is excellent at just one side road next to a main street, therefore very quiet but still close to the center.

Super cozy building. Host amazing, you feel fully welcomed. Bathroom area seemed to be super nice and clean as to compare my old experiences from the hostels. Recommend for all the solo travellers, location just short walk from the city.

Good hostel, very close to the city centre. The rooms were very clean and tidy, I have never seen a hostel this clean. The hostess was really nice and welcoming. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the living room with the other guests. The breakfast was good as well.
