Couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming hostel. Frank, the owner, is such an awesome guy and took us to see some live Albanian folk music one night, and was so accommodating.

If you want somewhere cheap and in the center, this fits that. But you get what you pay for: cheap, dated, bare minimum. I booked a private single and the “mattress” was quite literally a 2 inch foam topper (with questionable stains), there were cobwebs with giant spiders in the top corners, it smelled stale, and the light switch wasn’t even in the room.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed around the world. The location is perfect, super near from the main square, lots of busses to go around. Plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, bakery and coffee shops near. It’s like a hidden gem in Tirana. A beautiful huge house, super bright with private and shared rooms, the bed is comfy with individual outlet. The shower is super good, nice kitchen well equipped, common area and patio outside For me is complete, clean, safe, amazing! Thanks Frank and ...

Visitamos Albania en bicicleta y nos alojamos en el hostel durante las estancias en Tirana. Nos sentimos super bien. El personal en general, y en particular Frank, el dueño, fueron muy amables y atentos. Nos ayudaron mucho. Si volvemos al país, nos alejoramos de nuevo en The Golden Rooster seguro!
