The road up to it is a bit rough and smelly. The kitchen needs cups and hot water. There's no toilet in the room. The showers were very low pressure. I felt uncatered for.

The mattress waa comfortable and the roof terrace is a good space. Close to the beach.

It was really cozy and comfortable. I loved the view from the rooftop bar. Everyone was super kind. If I ever return in Durrës, I will come back to this hostel ❤️

I didn’t like their kitchen ( poorly equipped, no lighter, one pan),the toilets are outside ( inconvenient during night and when is raining), I didn’t like to hear day and evening their music on the top of my room…

The hostel is in a very good location ( follow street name on a google map, not name of the hostel). The 14 beds dormitory room is big and beds is comfortable. That is only things I like about the hostel…

20 min walk from the bus terminal & coastal access is a good walk but there are bakeries with burek along the way.

The patio view is awesome. Its located up a hill away from traffic. Jaco’s hospitality was super warm and welcoming.

Nice hostel with rooftop bar, from where you have seaview. Ten minutes walk to the beach. Grocery stores nearby. Many showers and bathrooms. Recommended !

Nice location and super friendly staff

This hostel is located close to many grocery shops and 10 minutes walk to the beach. The rooftop terrace offers decent music and a view to the sea. You can sit there, surf the internet and don't have to consume drinks at the bar. You instead can bring your own drinks, nobody bothers.

Loved how you had 2 kitchens to choose from. The fanily very welcoming and will help you in anyway they can. great rooftop and bar area, curtains make a huge difference when staying in a hostel.

Would’ve been nice to have some towels and a toilet downstairs. For now you have to go up the stairs every time. But I am writing this just to write something to be honest. Wasn’t really a problem

Loved the terrace. Great restaurants around. The bar on the terrace and the staff are quite lovely.

I don't understand why this hostel has such good opinions. "Hostel" is room that you can not close. Doors are opening to the street and EVERYONE could enter room anytime as there was one key in the door to close it so nobody had own keys. Imagine that during your nigth could some stranger enter it without any problem, open for everyone. One of 3 bathrooms wasn't able to close, and the other one didn't have a full shower. When I arrived, I had to wait for someone to do check-in. I arrived at about 2pm and till next morning (!!) there wasn't any toilet paper even though I've written to the owner that there is a lack of it. Yes, there are lockers, but you can not close it, so for me, it doesn't make any sense. Contact next to my bed almost didn't work, I had to hold my charger to make it working. No WiFi, but fortunately, the hotel next to this hostel had free wifi. If you are not afraid of sleeping in the room that everyone from the street can enter and steal you stuff, yes, have fun here.

Rooftop and I could choose a bed

Nice family-runned hostel in a great area of the city. The rooftop is perfect to meet other traveler and Emanuel will provide great stories and good advises for everyone. Pershendetje:)

The kitchen was below any standards. Very dirty and did not look well looked after. Annoying location since it took around 5 minutes to get down to the main road and beach, even if it on the map looks like it’s just one block away. The door to the room was open the whole night, as a guest you did not have a key to the door, but you did get a key to a locker at least. Would not recommend if you are a solo traveller, not many people go here anyways. treat yourself and stay in a hotel instead.

Had a nice balcony/common area. Nice staff.

Nothing, all great

I stayed one night in top view hostel and I can say it is one of the best hostel I have ever been. The place is great, just next to archaeological muzeum of durres and there is a roof where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the bay. I took the chance to work remotely one day and the WiFi is very good, perfect place for remote work. And the owner Jakub is a great person. He let me have a shower before going to airport, even if it was way later my check out. Never in Europe it has me allowed to do so. Only in Albania!

Nothing, I’ll be back!

The owners were just amazing, the location is great, the energy and the vibe are TOP!

Everything is ok

Ivan and her fathers are really kind, they offer me a good and silent place to work. The view is really beautiful and is near for the centre. A good place to rest and meet nice people

Especially the conversations with the staff/ owners. Also in contrast to the hussle and bustle of the rest of the city this hostel offers quietude, a beautiful view, all in all a relaxed atmosphere and at the same time lively.

There was an unbelievably bad smell throughout the hostel. The kitchen is very dirty, the rooms smell bad. There was no soap and toilet paper in the bathroom, we had to ask for it. Need to wait 40 minutes for hot water, no hot water after one person. Bathroom and toilet were not clean enough. The door of the female dormitory is incredibly loud. It is not possible to sleep more than 2-3 hours at night because of the noise. It was really bad experience. The price is expensive compared to the service.

Unfortunately there was nothing we liked.

Yakob and his family made me feel at home, there's a large open communal space and bar, facilities are clean and good,, the town beach and promenade are just a few minutes walk away.

Best hostel and personal in Albania. Thanks for the awesome experiences. I recommend 100%

The same thing that can be a plus if you feel like having some drinks with fellow travelers can also be a downside if you feel like sleeping — there is music and noise from the bar until late. The toilet was dirty and could use some renovation. Also, there were no shower curtains and things like toilet paper and hand soap were mostly missing. The kitchen wasn't super tidy either. I found the organization a bit chaotic overall.

The location is very good, close to the center, the beach and various restaurants and supermarkets. There is a bar on the rooftop that can be nice for chilling. There is also some workout equipment you can use! There is AC. There is a kitchen you can use for cooking and an area for chillin'. Affordable price.

The owner let this full blown alcoholic stay there and he was terrorising all the guests. I complained to the owner asking what he was going to do to rectify the situation and he said nothing and claimed to speak no English. The drunk man was threatening to murder everyone in our room at night and I barely slept. The owner didn’t seem to care about our safety

Had a nice rooftop area and close to the beach
