Staying at the Sombra Hostel in Tirana | Albania
August 11 2020
The perfect hostel for your trip to Tirana, Sombra Hostel:
I stayed here on my last trip to Tirana as well. It's a good place to base yourself. Centrally located, Skanderbeg Square is a 10 minute walk away. The airport bus stop, just a bit further.
The main bus station has been moved further out, a pain for everyone but you can catch a local bus into town. It's a 45 minute walk otherwise.
Frank, he owns and runs Sombra Hostel with the help of volunteers. It's super clean, it's in a warren of small streets so no cars racing past during the night. A huge breakfast is included in the 1100LEK price. That's 10.45US$ or 9€.
Frank lived in England for quite a while, and he also speaks Spanish and is a great source of information on travelling around Albania!
Mattresses are very comfortable and bunk beds are high enough so you can sit on the bottom bunk comfortably.
Wifi throughout, laundry available oh did I mention the great breakfast? :
