Built for Backpackers at Heart

A hostel built for meeting people — over a drink at the hostel bar, in one of our two courtyards, during the free breakfast or at one of the nights we run. Come with a plan or come with nothing. Leave with new friends and great memories.

Showed up alone, left with a group going to Berat the next morning. The owners feel like your cool cousins.

Mira Solo · Germany · 4 nights · 6-bed dorm

The rooftop courtyard at sunset is the entire trip. Bunks have actual privacy curtains, which I didn't know I needed.

Tomás Solo · Argentina · 3 nights · 8-bed dorm

I'm 32 and worried I'd be the old one. Wasn't. It's the people, not the age. Family vibe sealed it.

Aisling Solo · Ireland · 5 nights · Private double

Real guests, real words. We don't edit them.
