Le hostel était très bien situé! La famille à qui l’établissement appartient est vraiment incroyable. Ils nous ont offert un lift en auto pour se rendre à l’arrêt de bus, le matin où on partait et ont répondus à tous nos besoins!! Si vous aimez les chiens, les propriétaires en ont un qui rôde près de la réception, mais si vous n’aimez pas trop, il reste dans son coin et ne vous dérangera pas!

El sitio ofrece todos los servicios necesarios, buena zona de comedor donde descansar. Las habitaciones estan bien, y la zona de baños y duchas tambien estan acordes al precio. la cocina es grande y un poco caótica, hay demasiadas cosas. Hay que tener en cuenta que la propiedad tiene un perro que está dentro de la casa, si eres alérgico no es tu sitio.

Everything is great, it is just that you need to go uphill for 20min from the bus station to come to the hostel. But, the location is still pretty good since it is right in the old part of the town.

Stayed in a few hostels in Tirana and this one doesn’t come out on top. It does the job but wasn’t somewhere I’d recommend.

Great little place to stay in Girokaster! The terrace is lovely. Atmosphere was good but that’s more so from the guests than any organised events. Good for a stop in Girokaster and great to see the city of a night

Stayed here for one night and definitely liked the cozy atmosphere. Can't comment on the social aspect but it is not far from the main old town area so an easy walk to the restaurants, stores and castle. Cleanliness was good and staff was friendly. Would recommend for backpackers passing through and couples mainly.

I loved my stay at Friends Hostel :) the hostel is lovely and feels more like a house, the view from the terrace was also amazing and the family who runs the place were super nice. I really recommend the breakfast 🙌
