    Stavri went above and beyond, contacting us before our arrival and arranging our bus to Kosovo. the hostel had everything we needed, including clean and comfortable rooms, air conditioning, and a delicious free breakfast. the location was perfect, with a short walk to the city center and plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby.

    Felt like VIP, nothing too much trouble.

    We had an amazing time at Buff Hostel. Stavri and Matilda were the friendliest and most helpful hosts we have ever encountered. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home in the city and provided excellent recommendations for exploring Tirana. the hostel itself was beautifully designed and everything was brand new. the spacious room with closets, the beautiful garden, and the large kitchen equipped with all the necessary ingredients for cooking made our stay even more enjoyable. We also loved the great showers. Highly recommended!

    All was perfect! 😊.

    The value for money at Buff Hostel was excellent, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The location was perfect, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, and it was easy to explore the city on foot. The staff, especially Matilda and Stavri, were helpful and provided great recommendations for things to do in Tirana.

    One small improvement that could be made with the breakfast items is adding more variety to the menu.

    For the price, I couldn't have asked for more. The room was clean and spacious, with ample storage. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the city center.

    The breakfast offerings could use some improvement.

    During my Christmas stay, I had a great experience at the hostel. The first thing I liked about this place was the friendly and helpful hosts. They provided me with all the necessary information about the city, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Additionally, the hostel's location was perfect. It was situated in a quiet and nice area, just a short walk away from the city center. This made it very convenient for me to explore all the main sights of the city. Lastly, I really appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfortable beds. It made my stay feel cozy and relaxing.

    There were a couple of aspects that I didn't particularly like about the hostel. First, the bathroom situation was not ideal.

    I had a fantastic stay at Buff Hostel. the friendly staff made me feel incredibly welcome from the moment I arrived. They were always ready to assist, providing helpful suggestions and recommendations for exploring both Tirana and the rest of Albania. the beds were comfortable, and the spacious showers were a welcome relief after experiencing cold showers elsewhere. the hostel's location was perfect - close enough to the city center and main square for convenience, but far enough away to ensure a peaceful night's sleep without the noise from clubs and bars. the small touches, like USB sockets by the bed, made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Buff Hostel to anyone visiting Tirana. Cons: No issues at all! 👍.

    Breakfast: The hostel offered an a la carte breakfast, which was like having a personal chef! The selection was amazing and I felt like I was dining in a fancy restaurant.

    Late-night neighborhood: The hostel is located in an old neighborhood and caution is advised when walking around late at night.

    This hostel is perfectly located, just a stone's throw away from the bustling city center. You'll have easy access to shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a great base for exploring. the rooms here are clean and comfortable, with comfortable beds and big lockers to store your belongings. the friendly staff will make sure you have everything you need, and the delicious breakfast will fuel you up for a day of sightseeing.

    The only drawback is that the floor in the bathroom can get wet after taking a shower.

    I had a wonderful stay at Buff Hostel for 4 nights. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, even assisting me with my bags and getting to the bus stop. The location was perfect, with shops and cafes in a cute neighborhood only 10 minutes away from the center. The room was spacious and clean, with nice real wood ceilings. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was great for cooking. the facilities were good and the hostel had a convenient location.

    I do recommend this hostel.

    The hostel is in a fantastic location, close to all the major sights and very close to the city center. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with real, high-quality mattresses. the breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and the staff is friendly and helpful, willing to assist you in planning your trip.

    The security of the lockers is a concern, so it's advisable not to leave valuable items in them.
