It is not a hostel at all. Part of a hotel. There is 1 big room with spiders, instects and the shower/toilet outside (in the garden). No even hand soap! No keys for the entrance and the area is super creepy! And it is really far from the bus station and airport!
You can’t lock the doors and there were no lockers for the bag. The toilets and the shower had many big bugs. Also it felt like people were living there without having a room or an own bed. Overall not a great hostel, if you really want to stay in Durres for more than one day you should choose something else.
Das Personal war sehr nett, die Lage ist gut, es gibt eine Bar auf der Terrasse und einen Aufenthaltsraum. Leider muss ich aber sagen, dass ich während meiner monatelangen Reise kein dreckigeres Hostel erlebt habe. Unter meinem Bettlaken waren Chips, das Bad war die ganze Zeit freckig, der Kühlschrank quoll über vor abgelaufenen Produkten, es gab ständig kein Klopapier und keine Schließfächer.
Wir wurden zwar herzlich empfangen, leider haben wir weder das gebuchte Zimmer, noch Handtücher bekommen. In unserem Zimmer war Schmutzwäsche gelagert und in den Aufenthaltsräumen war an mehreren Stellen Rattenkot und es wirkte alles insgesamt sehr renovierungsbedürftig, improvisiert und nicht sauber. Leider haben wir uns so unwohl gefühlt, dass wir die Dachterrasse nicht nutzen wollten und froh waren, als wir ausgecheckt haben. Wer also bei Sauberkeit, Einrichtung und Lautstärke empfind...
I would not reccomend staying here. When I arrived, no direction or signs where to go, and no reception, no one around to ask. When I finally found the owner, who I never saw again, the room I was given was dirty and untidy. The bathroom looked like it hadnt been cleaned in days. No toilet roll, no towels provided. The Hostel is a mess. Rubbish and junk EVERYWHERE. Also, my bed didnt have a plug socket, so I couldnt charge my phone. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Ik vond de koude douche jammer. Als ik in Albanië 19€ betaald verwacht ik toch warm water. Ook in de ochtend.
It’s kind of nice hostel but the vibe is off comparing the other hostel where I been, also need to be definitely clean better, once I didn’t use my slippers and I got spots on the bottom of my feets immediately…And also the staff did really respect my privacy during of my napping and tried to see behind my bed “cartoons “…
El señor que vive en el hostal, parece que te persigue para saber que estás haciendo. No hay linda vista, los edificios tapan todo. Baños sucios, áreas comunes igual.
This hostel was quite an uphill walk from the centre, awkward when carrying a big backpack and have to go through alleyways which is a bit sketchy in the dark. The hostel seemed to be full of older men who lived in the dorms, made me feel a bit uncomfortable and there was no one to talk to. I was the only female during my stay so tended to stay outside of the hostel as much as I could. Saying that the staff were lovely and the showers were very good.
it's good located but it's not an hostel. it's just a shared room with AC and a kitchen. bathroom in the terrace roof upstairs -clean bathroom but weird WC, it doesn't keep open-. no info for the city,okforanight.goodterrace

The showers and bathrooms were great!! The beds were pretty good, and it’s a good location! The only bummer is I selected an all female dorm, and then was put with a bunch of men. Also it says they have free breakfast but they don’t. Overall it was great though! Absolutely would stay here again.
Would have been like a 9.6 but we were literally the only ones there the first weekend of October, so there was no social stuff and the bar wasn’t open at all that we saw. Really nice beds and super cute rooftop area, seems like it would be really social during high season!
Nice enough place, went in off season so it was pretty dead, it was safe and a good kitchen set up. Check-in was odd.

Simple, pleasant, quiet
Super friendly staff, nice athmosphere, very good breakfast, many different common areas. The 4 bed female room is superb, very clean and modern.
Good hostel quite central in the city, not far away from the beach
The best hostel i’ve ever stayed at. The staff were so welcoming, the beach was only 7 mins away (walking), the rooftop was amazing for socializing. Would 100% recommend. And the bathrooms were clean and there was cleaning everyday!
Emea is a great dude took excellent care of us. All the staff are excellent very clean facilities and Helena makes a great coffee
amazing stay, clean and comfortable rooms and incredibly helpful and kind staff & a great rooftop social area - recommend to anyone staying in Durres
loved this hostel, the staff were so much fun and would drink and hang out with us
it's a nice hostel, what I would have wished for though is curtains on the top beds for privacy and darkness, then the bathrooms didn't get cleaned often enough, therefore also no soap and toilet paper. lastly i know it's not their fault but there is a construction site next to it and it is so loud that you can't spend time in the hostel when they are working
Top View was one of the best hostels i've stayed in
Everything you need, close to the beach
this was amazing! very nice owner very clean 🤌🏻
LOVED this hostel. The rooftop is so nice, also there’s a workout area there. The bathrooms and rooms were spacious and clean. The owner was very knowledgeable on Durres and what to do there. So cheap and would stay here again 100%
Super rooftop, super rencontres, super gérant :)
Top View was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. It has a relaxing vibe which makes it super easy to interact with people and the location is in a quiet area yet walking distance to the action in the city as well. One of the hostel workers, Joanne gave me a full 10-15 minute run down of everything i need to know for the city in full detail so that i could understand. I would for sure come back. Thanks again for the stay!

Newly refurbished with big bathrooms and bedrooms, all very clean. The rooftop bar is a cool place to hang out, there’s even a secret bunker.
