+The Traveler Hostel is easy to find and it is about a 15 minute walk from the area of Shkoder where the buses drop off. There is a Spar supermarket round the corner and it’s open until 22.00. The owner was polite and helpful. There are excellent communal spaces in the building.
−There weren’t too many toilets and showers so some waiting at busy times.

+I stayed in a single room for about a week, and it was very comfortable. As a digital nomad, I really appreciated that the common room also works as a workspace, so it’s easy to stay focused. The two owners are also incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the stay even better. Thank you for everything!

+Great value for money, offered 5€/bag flat rate to store backpacks for the Valbonë-Theth hike. If needed they can also arrange all transportation for your trip as well but it’s cash only (we opted to book online before so we could pay by card). Air conditioning in the rooms was blessed especially with 40 degree heat. Small shared kitchen with limited space and equipment. Beware if you are planning to cook there is a usually a family dinner which the kitchen is used up from 8pm onwards. Have cafe and bar inside where you can buy coffee/drinks.
−Some better equipment for kitchen would be nice. Like most hostels shared fridges are a free for all so be sure to keep all your things together in a bag so no one mistakes them for there’s.

“Loud staff party, inadequate bicycle parking, small room”
+Nice big common areas to hang out in, staff were generally really friendly.
−They advertise bicycle parking but when we arrived on bicycles we were told to leave the bikes on the street until the sun went down then put them inside the hostel. We challenged this but still had to leave them outside for a few hours (if your bicycle is important to you, maybe stay elsewhere if this is an issue). We stayed in the double room which was ok but lacked a few basics like bedside lights (we used our own camping lamp). Mattress was slightly sunken in the middle. The bathrooms were clean on our first day but got dirtier and dirtier throughout our the day stay. Hot water was good though. Our biggest annoyance was that the staff had a massive party on our last night that didn’t stop until about 2:30 in the morning, we weren’t really told about it until we arrived back to the hostel after dinner and then no apology was offered. The common areas were supposed to be closed at 10pm to allowed people to sleep but we had a sleepless night due to the extremely loud music, talking and smoking happening right below our room. We think it’s fair that staff get to celebrate things and relax in the hostel but don’t go against your own policies with noise, it really sucked. The price f

“I'm in love ♥♥♥”
+One of the best hostels I've ever been to! Came for 2 nights, stayed for almost 2 weeks in both Traveler 1 and 2 lol Starting with the atmosphere made by volunteers and hosts, all the game nights and trips, the pool table in Traveler 1 (you could see me there half the time haha), and pool in Traveler 2 (perfect for hot days with 40 Celsius!), the little Mici cats, the wonderful people this place attracts... Enes, Dori and the big boss Xhulio are putting their souls into the hostels to make it one of the highlights of my whole Albania trip! There's an area on the second floor that is great for remote work, but it gets loud in the evenings. If you want some peace and quiet for calls and meetings, you should definitely try Traveler 2 (10 min walk).
−Other than the fact that there was no chalk for the pool cues and they never had any Jägermeister for me, I got nothing lol

+My stay in the hostel was Great. The guys from the hostel do Everything to make your stay the best and the atmosphere is familiar, helpful and hospitable. They offer a Family Dinner in the evening. You can also use the kitchen. Beautiful and Big Community area where you can chill or work. You can also rent bikes, book buses to Theth or Valbona and store your luggage.
