I stayed at The Galley in early June, per the reccomendation of a friend who had previously volunteered there, and it was absolutely fantastic. The entire crew instantly made me feel like part of the Galley family, and provided guests with chaotic good times. I am not typically the most outgoing person, but these amazing people really made my entire trip feel like home 💓. Beyond that, the hostel itself is beautiful - the rooms are spacious, clean and vibrant, everything is tidy and welcoming, and the breakfasts and "family dinners" just tie it all together. Already planning my next trip to stay again. Love you all!

Amazing stay at this hostel! Accommodation was more than big enough for 7 of us, clean and comfortable. The bar makes great drinks, very cheap, and the free raki certainly made for an entertaining evening. The hostel workers spoke good English with plenty of information. Very welcoming overall. The breakfast was also tasty in the morning. We had lots of fun and would highly recommend this hostel!! 10/10

    That was the first night in Albania that I could get a fantastic sleep! The place is brand new, the owner is really sweet, you have curtains at your bed, so you also get some privacy. Every bed has their own socket and a small lamp. There's really well working air-conditioning.

    This place is really cool. Nice people, quiet neighbourhood with parking outside. We were able to leave our car in their safe off-street parking for a small fee while we were hiking in the mountains. Beers and coffee cheap. They can help with everything for excursions away to the mountains. Excellent hostel!

    Probably the best hostel in Shkodër. The managers are amazing, we had so much fun. It's not a random hostel running by volunteers, but by a young duo of welcoming and fun Albanians who love to spend their time there. They know their city and country by heart and give you advices about whatever you need. The dorms are big enough, the bathroom is huge, everything is clean. Safe neigborhood, a 10 minutes walking distance to the city centre.

    This is a wonderful new, family run hostel that should be at the top of everyone's list for a place to stay in Shkodër. It has a great location and a stunning rooftop terrace with gorgeous 360 ° views. The staff are fabulous and if you're lucky, you'll get a chance to taste the owner's delicious homemade wine. With great value for the money, book your bed before word gets around and there won't be any available. One of the best hostels in Albania.

    One of the best hostels that I've stayed at! Fantastic location with really friendly and helpful staff. They can help arrange activities such as the Valbona to Theth hike amongst others and settle transportations for you. They also have mexican dinners for 3 euros and karaoke nights on certain days. Drinks were cheap and it was really easy to socialise with people in the garden area. The huge breakfast spread was a bonus. Absolutely love this place!

    Price is very cheap so great value for money. Located in the central tourist streets, the safest and cleanest part of the city, even if you do not stay here I strongly recommend staying nearby. Hostel has decent kitchen facilities. All the staff (and the people staying while I was there) were really friendly.
