Hi everyone!
Last minute volunteers are welcome, just send a message. Sorry if we sometimes take some time to reply but we try to answer everyone, we appreciate every message!
Our backpacker hostel features a bar, indoor and outdoor common areas, a spacious garden with many colorful lights at night, and a fully equipped kitchen and dining room. We offer our guests free wifi, bike rental, laundry services, free breakfast, fantastic day tours and a healthy, vegetarian dinner to enjoy.
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.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

It's not easy to write a proper feedback for them because it's hard to describe how happy and glad we were having them with us.

Kind and helpful, that's just enough.
I would highly recommend them because they are just amazing.
Thank you so much… read more
