Reviews of Kultura Hostel

Almost everyone I met there ended up extending their stay. Aldo & the team have created such a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The shared spaces are comfortable & social, the facilities are clean, the dorms have lots of space & the street location is prime.

The location and hostel itself! Located very near the main strip!

Nothing. Very chill.

Great price and location

Everything,starting from the location, to the rooms and the vibe all around.

There’s nothing that I did not enjoy

Kultura was amazing! Aldo and the team were so generous to us. The place was so welcoming and clean, also has great air conditioning. Aldo took us on a day trip to the canyons which was amazing, we also had an amazing meal cooked for us. The Theth hike can also be organised by the team here and they are extremely helpful with everything. Karaoke was also a highlight. By far the best hostel in Shkoder!!!!

NOTHING!

I had such a wonderful stay at Hostel Kultura! The building itself is full of character, beautifully decorated, and has a really warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready with recommendations about Shkodër and the surrounding areas. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the center, yet peaceful enough to relax. The common areas are cozy and make it easy to meet other travelers, while the garden is a great spot to unwind. Everything was kept very clean, and the beds were comfortable with plenty of space. Overall, Hostel Kultura feels less like a hostel and more like a home away from home. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shkodër, whether for a short stop or a longer stay.

The hostel was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the location is perfect, and the staff were super welcoming and helpful

Nothing at all — everything was excellent

Incredible staff. Friendly, outgoing and very helping. Beautiful common area. Great location!

The hostel is very easy to find and well sign posted. It had a lovely communal area where people gather and catch up! The staff were amazing, super friendly, kind and ensured we were welcome and settled in before even asking about payment and were even up making us a coffee at 6am. They organised our transport and tickets for Valbone the next day and stored one of our bags. Our room was a private room with bathroom and was very clean, comfy, quiet and had black out blinds which was perfect! We will definitely stay here if we come back.

It was very nice! Close to everything. The staff was amazing and helpful.

It was clean and the stuff was very kind

Actually everything was fine

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, and nice air conditioned dorm rooms

really cute and spacious, fully equipped. there were kittens on site and the hosts were kind. bus to koman literally picks up from right next door, so super convenient if you have to leave really early.

not at all the hostel’s fault and i’m not complaining—i could have probably done my research and found out myself before booking, but just a word of warning that there’s a loud bar downstairs if you’re not looking for that kind of thing. fortunately, they quieted down around midnight so not a huge deal.

Good staff! It was a bit loud one night because of live music by a different bar but otherwise very quiet despite its location!

I was traveling through Albania during two weeks. I lived in many places in many towns and Kultura Hostel is the best in everything among them all. Believe me, you won’t regret coming here

Staying at Kultura Hostel was an unforgettable experience. The space has a creative, artsy feel that makes it stand out from typical hostels. It’s beautifully decorated, super clean, and has a calm energy that makes it easy to unwind. The staff were more like friends than employees, always ready to help, chat, or just sit around with a coffee. I met amazing people here and felt part of a small community. It’s not just a place to sleep, it’s a place to connect, reflect, and enjoy Shkoder at your own pace.

Kultura Hostel was hands down the best place I stayed during my entire trip. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and feels like home from the moment you walk in. The rooms were spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and the common areas were perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What really made it special were the hosts, Xhuljo and Aldo went above and beyond every day. Whether it was helping with travel plans, recommending places to eat, or just having a good chat, they genuinely cared about everyone’s experience. The location is also ideal, close to the city center, but tucked away enough to be peaceful at night. I extended my stay because I couldn’t bring myself to leave. If you’re coming to Shkoder, stay here. You won’t regret it.

Kultura Hostel was a great find in Shkoder. The staff, particularly Xhuljo and Aldo, were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with suggestions about the city. The vibe was friendly and easygoing, making it simple to meet fellow travelers. Rooms were tidy and comfortable, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Plus, the location is super convenient for exploring everything Shkoder has to offer. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Staying at Kultura Hostel was a genuinely memorable part of my time in Shkoder. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, relaxed, and effortlessly social. It’s the kind of place where conversations with other travelers happen naturally, whether you’re in the common area or just hanging out in the outdoor garden space. The location is great, close enough to walk to everything you need, but just tucked away enough to feel peaceful. What really stood out, though, were the hosts. Xhuljo and Aldo were incredible, super friendly, down-to-earth, and always willing to help. They didn’t just go through the motions; they made an effort to connect with guests and create a welcoming environment. The facilities were clean and well-kept, with comfortable beds and enough space to feel at ease. I’d absolutely recommend Kultura to anyone looking for a place with good vibes, great people, and an overall unforgettable experience in Shkoder.

I had such a great time staying at Kultura Hostel! The location is perfect, right on the main pedestrian street in Shkodër, close to cafes, shops, and all the major attractions. The hostel has a relaxed vibe during the day and a fun, social energy in the evening thanks to the bar downstairs, but it still stays quiet enough at night for a good sleep. What made my stay truly special were the hosts, Aldo and Xhuljo. They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Whether it was sharing local tips, helping with directions, or just chatting and making everyone feel at home, they always went above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely care about the guests. The rooms were clean and comfy, the garden was a nice place to hang out, and it was super easy to meet other travelers. I also loved that they offered bike rentals and could help organize trips to Theth, Valbona or Shala River. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Shkodër, and make sure to say hi to Aldo and Xhuljo while you’re there, they’re the best!

Rooms and common areas were super clean! Very good location close to everything you might need. Staff was friendly. Lovely outdoor patio!

Clean, well maintained, and lovely staff who are so helpful and kind. Great social area with courtyard, karaoke and pool table. Bar is also very popular. Would 100% recommend this hostel and perfect location in the middle of a charming old town. If you’re catching a bus to surrounding areas they help you to purchase a ticket and get on the bus which is a great help. I liked watching the sunset from the balcony!

I had a fantastic experience at Kultura Hostil during my visit to Shkoder. The location is simply perfect, right in the heart of the city, yet still in a quiet spot where you can rest peacefully at night. What truly made my stay special was the incredible hospitality of the staff. Everyone I met was warm, friendly, and always ready to help with recommendations. They made me feel at home from the first moment. The hostel itself is cozy and has a very authentic, artistic vibe. ¡Gracias por todo!

The location is great, central, all the places to have fun, eat and listen good music in company. The staff is very kind, avaliable for every need and always present. Beautiful outdoor space with comfortable sofas and armchairs in a young and well-kept environment.
