    Dont book it if you dont like walking up hill. Idm at all tho.

    Staffs are chilled. The 4-bunkbed female dorm I stayed was very clean. The facilities are all quite new. The best is the sunset view I enjoyed right in front of the room! Also the price for one night was so so cheap! Worth the price!

    There's only so much management can do to enforce the rules they do have in place. Unfortunately, it's up to fellow guests to respect them and in my case they did not. I was unlucky that other travellers sleeping either in other dorms or in mine were anything but quiet until past 4 in the morning. It's advertised as not a party hostel but people don't care. I don't care for disrespect but hey, I guess next time I need to invest into an Airbnb or a hotel. The one thing I can suggest that you improve is to provide hooks or shelves or some way for patrons to hang/keep their belongings in the bathroom. Oh, and maybe worth mentioning you should check, I think it was, locker 13? The key was practically useless, as it did turn both ways but the door could not be closed.

    The boy who did my check-in was friendly and available. The dorm was clean and the ensuite bathroom (also reasonably kept) was a huge plus. The bed was relatively comfortable, had an individual light and socket as well as a curtain for privacy, which I really appreciated. Apart from the noise issue (see below), this was a very nice hostel :)

    the location is a bit up, there’s a shortcut that makes it about 10 min. It’s not bad honestly, and maybe being not super close to all the music is better

    the AC!! the family that owns the place is very kind and helpful. free towels and locker key. never had a. issue waiting for a bathroom. they have events going on. nice balcony view of Sarandë

    The locations was really bad. It was far from the beach. You need to climb up to the hostel.

    I had a great stay in Saranda Boutique hostel. Hostel was really clean and well-equipped. Staff was really good especially boys at the reception.

    The location is up on a hill (approx 10 minute walk uphill from the beach if using the shortcut). don’t trust google maps too much because there are stairs not marked on the map. If u use the shortcut it makes the road shorter - but it’s still a bit of a hike. I don’t mind but might be good to be aware of it, especially since the shortcut would be through alleys ( i felt pretty safe but not everyone might be comfortable walking alone there at night).

    Very clean and great facilities such as free use of the laundry and a nice kitchen. Rooms and common eras were kept tidy. Polite and helpful staff.

    I liked this place so much that I decided to extend and stay for maybe a month or so. Bedrooms are really spacious and tidy. Every bed has curtains for privacy which is very cool. Nice and helpful people running the hostel (the mother and two sons). Quiet and peaceful place to enjoy Sarande. Beautiful beach view from the windows as well

    A great place to stay in Sarandë! The owner Vera was very helpful, giving me information about the bus schedule and also helped me arrange a taxi to go to the castle. Her young sons are also very helpful, speak excellent English for their age and are also very precise in giving information. The hostel has an amazing view, a place to wash and dry your clothes, the kitchen is well-equipped, there's drinking water there. Comfortable beds and lockers in the rooms. Plenty of common space to relax. Definitely recommended!
