Liked: Large room for a low price for Western standards. The owner of the hostel may be right in arranging a good price for a taxi ride airport-hostel

Disliked: No central place to meet people at the hostel.

Liked: Large double rooms, A/C, next to the center.

Disliked: very small breakfast (one shot of expresso and one little cake), the cleaning lady was very intrusive (she knocked the door very early and entered various times when we were still the room).

Jozef Cantelberg

19 June 2010 Jozef would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is pretty fine located but facilities are quite limited. Freddy is the only one who can speak English, which makes it in case of questions not easy. Private rooms are actually apartments located in the same street as the hostel. It sounds great, but in the apartments is no internet access available. So if you would like to use internet during your stay, make sure that you book a room within the hostel building. The breakfast was basic, but OK.

Disliked: Jozef left no negative feedback.

17 June 2010 Sean would recommend this property

Liked: Freddy and mini-Freddy (who looked like Tim Henman) were excellent. They were very welcoming and even let us choose our room after showing us around all the rooms. Freddy also arranged a taxi from his hostel to Bar (in Montenegro) which saved us time getting buses, delays at border control and buses in Montenegro which would have been very slow due to narrow roads (total cost 90Euro). EXCELLENT HOSTEL AND TOP BLOKE !!!

16 June 2010 Paulo would recommend this property

Liked: Freddy is a really nice guy. The place is clean and the room was huge with TV and a PC inside the room! Looks a little bit like an Hotel (which makes it difficult to meet people though). No more than a 5 minute walk to Skanderberg Square. Overall, a good place to stay in Tirana.

Disliked: Paulo left no negative feedback.

15 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Only Freddy speaks English and he is only their at night. The rest of the time their is noone to answer questions inless you speak Albanian.It is very much a hotel with three beds in one room which you share with other people. Their is only one key to each room though. And one in the office that anyone can get access to.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Matthew Skues

11 September 2009

Liked: Location and cleanliness.What didn't I like about the property? The fact that the only English speaking member of staff was away, making getting my room difficult. There was also some sort of error, as I was moved room for my second night, and the lack of communication meant I didn't have the information I wanted on getting out of Tirana.

16 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Centrally located and close to any other resources you require, including supermarket, food and coffee shops Freddy is helpful and will answer any questions you require. The only 'issue' is that the Wi-fi was extremely slow and would drop out every five minutes, but there are two really cheap internet cafes within a five minute walk to Freddy's. Definitely recommended

Liked: Freddy and his gorgeous nephew were so lovely! They were always there to offer help and advice and organise taxis. The room was lovely, large and clean with good air con and a TV with the odd movie in English. There's a lovely restaurant around the corner called London with some amazing veal.
