For me, this hostel fitted the bill perfectly - very central location, quirky atmosphere (it's quite a grand villa, converted to a hostel with a kitchen area at the end of the garden) and cheap/easy going. There was a real mix of ages and backgrounds of people staying here, but everyone seemed friendly. The staff spoke good English. My friend... more

Most of the staff were very friendly, and the garden was lovely (with some tortoises wandering around it quite happily). Its very basic and they could do with another bathroom, but at 12 euros a night you can't really argue. more

Tirana Backpacker Hostel is Tirana's first hostel. It's easy to find, as the big green and yellow villa is clearly marked. It's not a terribly long or difficult walk from Skanderbeg Square. The young couple that run this place are awesome. They're super-nice and are extremely knowledgeable about Tirana's attractions and its messy transport system, and they also know a... more
