Good hostel. Nice rooms, kitchen and we were allowed to use a washing machine. Very good position, not far to bus station.

Stayed for two nights. I was completely alone in my dorm; maybe even in the whole hostel, which was nice since I needed some tranquility. Rented a bike for 500 lek (5 euros) - it was an ok bike. It’s clean and a nice facility with an outdoor space. However I could imagine it being more troublesome if it would have been a full house since there’s few bathrooms and showers - and only one charging spot in the dorm by the door.
