Hi everyone!

Our backyard attracts guests all day and night where you will find lots of mandarin and orange trees, hammocks, sofas, funky sports equipment and instruments around! We pride ourselves in being a home for backpackers, artists and travelers from all over the world. The hostel is built on the creativity of our community and you will find all sorts of artwork around the property.
We opened in 2005 as the first hostel in Albania, located in a 100 year old Italian style villa. The Hostel is located in the heart of Tirana, 500m from Skanderbeg Square and 5km from Dajti Ekspres Cable Car. The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. The Hostel is runned by a Team of 5, Manager, Receptionists, Cleaning lady and housekeeper.

Really awesome couple, with a lot of energy and passion for work. They ran the night with their delicious food and created a great atmosphere with their talks and music. They are the best if you want to learn some Spanish. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the hostel for a month and it was a great experience.
All the staff was really friendly and fun to work with.
We really enjoyed cooking for all the guests and working at the bar.
If you want to volunteer in a hostel, this is the place for you!
We will miss everyone there, mostly Riza!

I had the best time for my first work away experience at this hostel. Ilir, Celeste, and all the staff, are so welcoming and lovely. Work was relaxed and flexible. I even went on a day tour with the hostel on one day. I had such a great experience and felt part of the family :) thanks so much for the fun week guys!!!

Super cool hostel run by some really nice people! I came here for the first time with a friend in 2014 to volunteer when they had moved to a new location. My first task was to build a bar out of scrap wood and pallets, the bar came out pretty nice. I came back to this hostel in 2015 before the summer season started to develop the bar in to a… read more

We came to this hostel in orange season and we truly used it by making everything from orange - jam, pie, ice cream and other things. But that's not a story. :D
