Bed bug reports

Confirmed Booking.com
Went back to my room to find cleaners sitting and smoking on my bed. On the first night itself was already wondering why the smell of tobacco was so prevalent. Did raise it up to the staff at reception. Bed bugs were also found in one bed but they did well to quickly strip the linen and clean the entire mattress. Better to sleep at the areas far away as the one closer to the hostel, the night life doesn't quite allow you to have a good night rest if you are leaving early for the Valbona-Theth hike the following day

Vibe Analysis
The Wanderers Hostel is built around the Valbona-Theth hike. The hostel arranges the trip, transport, and luggage storage, so the logistics feel easy. There is free breakfast and dinner, and the garden gives the place a clear social center. The hostel also has a lively bar and regular evening activities. The atmosphere feels friendly and outgoing, and private rooms can be large and comfortable, with air-conditioning in some of them. It is in a central spot, which makes it easy to get around town. The hostel works well as a base for mountain trips and for a busy, social stay.
