About

Nestled in a stunning 16th century Ottoman building on the banks of the Osun river, Hostel Maya offers every modern convenience today’s traveller expects. Our guests experience a pleasing balance of quiet, clean rooms with sociable common areas and wonderful unobstructed views of Mangalemi Castle.
We are just 50 meters from arched bridge of Gorica, which links the two neighborhoods of Berat, only a few minutes' walk from Old Town. The striking style of our UNESCO protected building creates an atmosphere unique to Berat. We also think you’ll like our highly rated complimentary breakfast - a great way to start the day!
Our large communal room has comfortable seating and a traditional style bar. Outside, there is a large garden with plenty of seating, a BBQ and a water fountain - perfect for meeting people. We have a communal guest kitchen and organized tours to the canyon and the waterfall. For the more active, we also organize hiking tours.

brilliant place - kind of empty while I was there at the end of November (everywhere in Albania was empty), but the volunteers still added an atmosphere and made it a lovely place to be

my favourite hostel during my stay in Albania. Late in the season when I stayed it was a very calm, long stay crowd at the hostel, super peaceful and welcoming.
