    Sometimes no more paper in the toilets.

    The location is gorgeous. The terrace is very green, big and relaxing. I felt very well in the accomodation. The dorms are clean. The tour to the canyon was nice.

    The staff were super friendly, relaxed and fun. Even though they are busy, they really make time to help you a lot. I wanted some recommendations for villages in the North, and they even searched for accommodations for me.. how sweet. The atmosphere in the hostel was great too, every body was super relaxed and chill. And damn... they have cute dogs (and a turtle) that are chilling all the time too. You really have the feeling that you're sleeping at your families house :-)

    Nice terrace and lots of available space to sit and chill with nice weather at night time during summer. Toilet and bathroom are absolutely nice with strong water flow. There is nice young staff from Berat high school. He is super kind and helpful. Hostel is located in quiet place and near bus stop in order to travel to bus station. You can reach large supermarket 10 minutes by walk.

    Just a little bit hot at night (July)

    The hostel is well located to visit the main sights in Berat. It’s close to the bus stop to get to the bus terminal. The hostel is clean, has hot showers no AC only fans. Breakfast is also included. The old interiors , gardens and views are really beautiful. i enjoyed my stay here.

    After a very short hike on the other side of the river, you arrive to this quiet are with a very nice view of Berat. People there are very nice and give you tips about the city. The old big house andthe outside is very nice and comfy for a hostel.

    As I had to leave a bit before 8 am I did not have a chance to have breakfast. The kitchen was already occupied by the person preparing breakfast and I could not even make myself a coffee.

    I could admire a view over the old town and the river directly from my room's balcony, it was a pure pleasure to see it as a very first thing in the morning. The entire building is extremely cute and cozy. Staff is truly excited about Berat and always has some recommendations what to do in the area (from sightseeing to going hiking uphill). The room does not come with an ensuite bathroom, but there's one literally next door and there was no queue at any time

    only one tip: please, update the bus information on the map you give to us. the bus schedule doesn’t make any sense anymore and I got lost to go to Macedonia (there aren’t buses anymore to Elbasan!).

    I think it is the first time I give 10,0 for a hostel. it was just perfect!

    Not a problem but the property appears to be geared towards younger backpackers. Some of the facilities are a bit dated but still work as intended.

    The old styling of the building is very cool and there is plenty of outdoor space to relax.

    I liked everything. The only thing was that there where many wasps coming to the food, but they can't do anything about it and it happens all over Albania in summer or at least that is my experience.

    The hostel was just great. It had several terraces with great views to have breakfast, read or some beers/wine at night. The breakfast was amazing and the staff very helpful. One of the best hostels in Albania

    I was just a little disappointed to be told that the hostel could not give us direction to the canyon as they organise paying tours… since we had a car it made little sense to join a paying tour…

    We had a lovely stay at the hostel. The rooms were spotless, The outdoor terraces are gorgeous and well cared for. The view is brilliant . The staff is very very very nice.
