I don’t recommend this hostel: the kitchen is extremely rudimentary, lacking of many essential. The whole vibes of the hostel, the common area and the people staying there, everything felt off and not enjoyable. There is only one bathroom per floor making it hard to have access to it at all and the shower doesn’t have curtain so all the water just splash all over the restroom. On the plus side, the rooms were clean and well taken care off.

Bathrooms are terrible and way too few. There is no A/C which is an issue. On the positive side, very social and great vibes. Staff is very friendly.

Admittedly we did book in shoulder season but there was no atmosphere (no one staying there) and there was never any staff around to help with questions/ check out/ leave luggage etc. Wouldn’t recommend for solo travellers in off season. The volunteer cleaner was lovely though.

The breakfast wasn’t great and there was no kettle to boil hot water for t/c. The cooker that was there was unsafe.

The facilities are good, and you have a nice view from the rooftop and the balcony. Staff was friendly. However, the bathrooms were always busy and dirty. Theres no aircon, just fans. Overall its not too bad, just the bathrooms were quite gross.

An sich war das Hostel okay, sehr einfach gehalten. Die Küche leider nicht besonders sauber und nur etwas eingerichtet. Es gab nur ein Badezimmer pro Etage (ca.20 Leute pro Etage) und außerdem war es immer nass und dreckig. Das Personal wirkte etwas unorganisiert, aber trotzdem sehr freundlich. Außerdem war das Hostel überbucht und eine in unserem Zimmer musste auf einer Matratze auf dem Boden schlafen.

Not a bad place to stay for a few nights, I stayed 3 nights at the end of April. There were maybe 5 people total so the atmosphere was lacking, the bar wasn’t yet up and running and no hostel activities. Felt really safe in Saranda so I’m thinking that’s why there wasn’t much security (no locks on doors etc). Free breakfast is good but basic (cereal, bread), would be nice if there was coffee. Mirrors and curtains in the rooms would make a difference. Beautiful balcony/rooftop! Best sunse...

L’hostel est idéalement placé en hauteur avec une vue magnifique ! Le propriétaire est très gentil et très arrangeant / flexible. Nous sommes venus en octobre donc l’hostel était vide de voyageurs malheureusement. Peut être que les sanitaires et la cuisine auraient pu être plus propre … Mais sinon très bien pour une étape d’un voyage en back pack :)

Super expérience au Lazy Roo Hostel ! Franchement rien à redire : l’ambiance est top, les espaces sont propres et agréables, parfait pour se détendre ou rencontrer du monde. Le gros point fort, c’est clairement le staff : super sympa, toujours disponible et prêt à aider peu importe la demande. On se sent tout de suite à l’aise, comme à la maison. Je recommande à 100 %, que ce soit pour un court ou long séjour. J’y retournerai sans hésiter !

A good all round experience, friendly helpful staff and volunteers, breakfast was more than adequate to fuel up for the day. Location for me was great close to all amenities, promenade, and transport links, awesome view from the rooftop:) If I’m ever back in Sarandë would stay here again.
