The Wanderers Hostel is located in Shkodër. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a seating area. Featuring a shower, private bathroom also comes with a bidet. Extras include a desk.

Stayed on two different occasions, the second time in the new building (5 min. away walking), both rooms were very convenient, clean and cosy. The common area is the best you could expect from such a hostel in terms of ambiance and very attentive and helpful staff. We also appreciated the very affordable bikes rental, laundry and free tea / coffee!

There was also a nice evening gathering with the other guests. I stayed 4 nights.

    The hostel was fabulous, the staff were so friendly and helpful. If you want to make friends, experience Shkoder, and have a great time this is the hostel to stay in. Not only safe for solo female travelers but extremely welcoming. The facilities were great and the beds are very comfortable.

    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.

    Great location, easy access to buses and even direct shuttles to some of the popular destinations. Breakfast is included and actually really good! Clean bathrooms and hot water (which feels like luxury compared to most hostels I've stayed at). Pretty views, a big garden with plenty of spaces to work remotely! All the rooms lock properly and I felt very safe. Staff are friendly and ready to help at nearly any hour. I'd recommend staying here if you're visiting shkodër and want to feel close to local culture.

A beautifully handmade wooden bar, music-lounge room, and lovely garden area also enhance the surroundings.

    The hostel was absolutely amazing. Nice chill area with hammocks, table tennis, and plenty of space. Great location - close to many bars, restaurants, and shops.. But who cares about bars when there is a one in the hostel with cheap drinks and beer! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed wa comfy and the breakfast was super rich, and delicious. From me a Big Ten and I would highly recommend this hostel while staying in Shkodër.
