Staying at Hostel Durres in Durres | Albania

August 15 2020 | Tagged: The Balkans

My first time to Durres and I made a beeline for Hostel Durres, the first hostel in town.
Hostel Durres Albania Review
Thoughts on arriving at the hostel, very suitable for the sizzling summer temperatures. Doors and windows open, front and back, high ceilings. I could breathe again.

Merli and her sister Kiti own and run the place with the help of some awesome volunteers from Brazil. And the cleaning lady, she's always smiling.

I booked 1 night on Booking and then just extended. This is my #NewNormal. I like to let the hostels know I am coming and then just extend. This way they don't have to pay the booking sites commission. And during Corona they are limiting the number of people in the rooms.

I took a bed in the 8 bed dorm. Comfortable mattresses, with ample to sit on the bottom bunk without banging one's head.

Well equipped kitchen, even with a veggie peeler and juicer for freshly squeezed lemon juice on those hot summer days:

No need to buy bottled water, they have a water dispenser, tea and coffee all day. They also have a laundry service.

Lots of room to sit, inside and out:

On how to get to Durres from Tirana, and what to see in town, read my Backpacking in Durres post, which is now live.

At the jointly owned Oborri bar next door, on Friday evenings they have live music. During Covid-19 this is restricted to finish at 8pm.
