Trip'n'Hostel Chill Zone

Hostel itself including all outdoor spaces and garden areas, everything is fantastic. was just disappointed a bit by the room itself, in the description we booked a room with queen bed that sleeps 2 and we got a bunk bed which is not what we foresaw. description on website can be better.

Great physical space, but heavily cliquey culture and disorganized management The property itself has great potential as a coliving space. The layout is calm, kittens are adorable, the coffee is great, and the volunteers are warm and welcoming. However, independent short-term travelers should be aware that the daily house culture is heavily dominated by an insular clique of long-term residents. Basic social greetings are completely absent in shared spaces, where acknowledgment is substituted with silence. For example, a long-term resident reached directly into my personal space to access something without an introduction, greeting, or acknowledgment. This lack of basic awareness regarding personal boundaries and community consideration makes the shared spaces highly uncomfortable. Furthermore, communal cleanliness was inconsistent. Large messes were frequently left behind in the shared kitchen, which required urgent cleaning in front of arriving guests. Other travelers also explicitly commented to me on the overall messiness of the space. Administratively, the property is disorganized. When completing my payment in cash, the host did not offer a receipt, and I had to explicitly request one to secure proof of payment. There is also clear internal confusion regarding booking extensions and how policies are inconsistently applied to different guests. Finally, communication broke down entirely at checkout. The host was completely unavailable and did not reply to email inquiries regarding where to leave the keys, forcing me to leave without standard instructions. The property would benefit greatly from consistent administrative procedures, better kitchen upkeep, and a culture that actively bridges the gap between long-term residents and short-term guests.

A really good property in a quiet area of Tirana. It is a short walk to the hostel from the centre of Tirana, the roads around feel a little bit dodgy late at night but once you are inside the hostel it is very secure. There is a large gate with a code to get inside. The room was clean and large.
