I stayed here for 2 nights and the service was fantastic. After coming from France and Italy, it was a shock to finally meet some friendly staff and locals, the staff here are at pains to make your visit as comfortable and stress free as possible. The rooms were the cleanest I've had yet and the free breakfast was great.... More

Very good hostel, located behind a petrol station on one of the main streets in the central area of Tirana, about 10/15 minutes walk from the central square (Sheshi Skënderbej); you have to first get through a bar / restaurant to get to it, which turns out to be very handy as you come downstairs from the dorm and you...

Firstly, you may see a "Tirana Backpackers Hostel" listed in some guidebooks with a totally different address. This is the old address, so go by the one on this site. The hostel is located in Myslum Shuri! Taxi drivers may not know the place by name and I almost got taken to the wrong location, so just make sure they... More

I heard about this place through a flier and as the first backpackers in Albania thought it would be worth checking out. They have changed location and the new location is basically a bar with some rooms above. There is no backpacker vibe at all, very little city information and I kind of get the feeling that it is just... More

The Tirana Backpacker Hostel is very lively due to the presence of a bar, a terrace and food facilities. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The room, with connected toilet and shower, was clean and from good quality. I think the wifi connection was poor at the third floor.

Only staying for one night while passing through Albania, Tirana Backpacker Hostel turned out to be an awesome hostel with great service in a fantastic location. I paid 12 Euros for an 8 bed dorm with en-suite bathroom, lockers and A/C (cost 3 euros). The bathroom was immaculately clean and looked like one you'd find in a nice hotel. The... More

Really friendly staff, perfect garden, very very good location: the only negative thing is the lack of air conditioning at night (and the mosquito swarms that come and eat you when you open the windows)... Breakfast was very good, bathrooms amazing and everything was really clean.

This is a great place to stay: relaxed, friendly and easy-going staff, good beds, "help-yourself" breakfast, and a nice garden to have a beer or read. It's in a central area, just a few minutes from the pyramid and Blloku (The Block).

This is a converted house with about 25 beds spread over 4 or 5 rooms. It has an awesome garden where many hours can be spent reading drinking socializing or snoozing. We camped in one of the three spots, it was cosy but not cramped. It was full while we were there but you really couldn't tell and we never... More

Tirana backpackers is a cozy hostel hosted in a small villa. This is very positive cause the inner garden is completely at disposal of the guests and you can drink beer with good company. The rooms are quite crowded (too many beds for the size) but still ok. Very poor breakfast and not so clean common spaces
