Hostel Hasta la Vista

Cooles Hostel unweit der Promenade mit toller Dachterrasse, Kino und Secret Party Basement mit verstecktem Zugang hinter einem Schrank. On top gibt es einen sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber mit den besten Tipps. Danke für die tolle Zeit, Albano :)

Great place to stay! Comfortable, clean, well-located, and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent, with common areas that have everything you need. It’s a perfect spot to meet people. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Saranda.

It was the worst experience I've ever had in a hostel. We booked our stay directly at the reception for a private room and when we first checked in, they didn't give us any key to our room and said that it was "safe anyways". They told us to come back later should by the time they find the key to our room. So we left our stuff, including passports, luggage, money and we went for the rest of the day. After coming back to the hostel and asked again for the key to our room, the girl at the reception seemed confusion and told us that they actually put a group of 7 people in OUR ROOM. They canceled their booking and didn't know where to put them with all their stuff, so they decided to use our room as a storage. We walked in into our room, the door is not locked anyways, and literally found a girl sleeping in our bed. It was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional at all. The girl at the reception seemed obviously completely confused and couldn't understand what was going on and very embarrassed. They canceled a group of traveler's booking and when they showed up they put them in our room. The reception calls the manager and he ends up giving us a refund and instead of apologizing the only thing he says is "C'EST LA VIE" (it is what it is basically). We could've end up completely homeless and thankfully there was availabilities for last minute booking in other hostels. I rarely give bad reviews but this needs to be known as I don't want anyone else to experience that at all. Consider checking other places before choosing this one. There are many that have a better location, cleaner, and mostly more professional and safer. You don't want to end up in a country you are visiting completely homeless.

Despite the barking dogs all night & mosquitos if I opened the windows I didn’t sleep and had an early start Luke on reception was really helpful so I’d rate this hostel highly. It’s close to the port and bus if you need to catch a bus like I did to the north. Make sure you go all the way to Tirana for 1500 lekke. They threw me out at a coastal town and thankfully a local got me on a mini bus to Shkoder which broke down 5 times and we ended up walking into town. Don’t get a minibus my tip for travel up north only for mountain connections.

The hostel is really nice and also all the people who works there. Albano, the owner, was very gentle, he took us to visit the blue eye for the day and was amazing. Thank you so much! Highly recommend :)

I had problem logging in WIFI and after logging in, it was weak. There were drunk girls who squealed all night. The owner simply ignored us and seems to be reveling in watching the spectacle of drunk girls. Gross place!
