They are an incredibly nice and hospitable family! They treated me like a daughter or family member. If you want to experience Albanian hospitality and generosity, you should stay here. The owners are so kind; they even took me to the doctor when I fell in the bazaar. They are also great cooks, and I was lucky enough to be included in a family barbecue. If you want to experience true Albanian hospitality, choose this guesthouse. The room is also very quiet, and there is a lovely garden too.

Lazy Roo Hostel was the highlight of my stay in Sarandë. Bajo, the owner, is incredibly friendly and considerate, always making sure guests feel at home. The hostel is spotless, has the best location (less than 10 mins to the beach), and offers a delicious free breakfast. The rooftop is offers an amazing view to the city beach and is perfect for sunsets, drinks, and meeting travelers from all over the world. Highly recommended to anyone willing to socialize 🙂

A great place to stay in Sarandë! The owner Vera was very helpful, giving me information about the bus schedule and also helped me arrange a taxi to go to the castle. Her young sons are also very helpful, speak excellent English for their age and are also very precise in giving information. The hostel has an amazing view, a place to wash and dry your clothes, the kitchen is well-equipped, there's drinking water there. Comfortable beds and lockers in the rooms. Plenty of common space to relax. Definitely recommended!

The owner is the nicest guy ever. He picked me up with his car from the other side of the city when there was a thunderstorm, he made me tea and told me about all the things I needed to see in Gjirokastra. He let me use his washing machine too. Overall an inexpensive but great experience. Just be aware that it's up the hill.

All hostels in Gjirokastër

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
