About

The hostel is located in an Historical house in the center of Shkodër. It is over 100 years old and was built by an Italian ancestor. The home will welcome you with a big open space garden with fruit trees and plants. A large veranda allows the guests to sit, relax and socialize with other guests while trying Albania's only craft beers and wines.

We've dedicated the hostel especially to travelers that enjoy hiking, biking, and mountaineering, but it is open to all who simply love life, nature, human contact, bio-eating, and agro-tourism. We try to use Eco-friendly practices and reduce our impact on the environment such as recycling, composting, use of solar panels, seasonal eating and purchasing products from local farmers.

Our place is absolutely the best to relax, recover, have fun, stay safe, and learn new things while in Shkodër.
We are not a party hostel but we never refuse a raki (albanian spirit) and a nice chat at our little bar in the front. We host cultural events and often work with local artists to promote the culture of Shkoder and Albania.

We help to organize the tours around our national parks such as Theth and Valbona. Including accommodation and transportation. We offer bicycle rentals to our guests.

In winter all our rooms have heating and AC in summer.
We are located in the center of the city. Find Kinema Milenium, we are located on the other side of the street down a short alley. Look for the gate painted bright blue with the words 'Mi Casa es Tu Casa'
Remember: If in doubt, you should ask for 'Kinema Milenium' wherever you are in the city.
We love animals! we have 3 dogs and 1 cats that have all been rescued from the streets of Shkodra.

Come and be part of our family :)

I stayed here for almost two weeks in total! It’s a lovely, peaceful hostel and the perfect place to work, meet people, and enjoy a well-equipped kitchen. I honestly didn’t want to leave! I had originally planned to stay for fewer days, but ended up extending my stay haha. I stayed in both a dorm and a private room, and I can say that both are definitely worth the price! And a special mention to Gjystina, the best staff member at the hostel! Having a chat with her is always so lovely. Thank

Honestly I could write a few paragraphs but I'll try to keep it short. this is my first time staying in a hostel and I had a great experience. the location is fantastic and quiet, my dorm room and bed was comfortable. and Alma, the manager was a delightful person. also the staff was nice and helpful. this was my first time staying in a hostel and I was a bit worried about it but because of Alma and her staff it definitely won't be the last time. Faleminderit!
