Milingona City Center

Probably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in 2 years of travel. The owner is next-level kind — TOP 1 in friendliness! The most friendly hostel owner I’ve met. She makes you feel like you are her favorite celebrity. Legit breakfast with fresh local cheese, veggies and real bread enough to feed a village. French presses of coffee too. And there's a fridge-curious cat. She sneaks her face into the fridge 🐱 Cute warning Plenty of showers and toilets, curtains on beds for privacy. A few spots for parking for someone with a car. Extra 5 euros for parking. Plenty of seating areas. 2 hammocks.

Unfortunately, my stay here was disappointing. The room was not clean, the bathroom was in poor condition, and the overall atmosphere was not inviting. It seems like regular upkeep and attention to cleanliness are no longer a priority. A particularly frustrating experience was breakfast. We arrived on time, as we had plans to head into the mountains early, but breakfast was not ready yet. We politely took just a small bite – not to interfere with the guy to finish the setup. However, when we returned a bit later, we were told we couldn’t have anything else so that the other guests would still get their share. To be clear, we’re talking about toast and egg. From older reviews and photos, I had the impression that this hostel used to be much better. Maybe it once had a different standard, but sadly, that no longer seems to be the case. Great location and garden, but that alone isn’t enough. I hope the management takes steps to bring the place back to the level it may once have had. Positive: they helped with pickup from the airport.

The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is great! We had booked a 12-bed mixed dorm, but we didn’t really like it. One of the owners spontaneously offered us a 6-bed room with AC instead, which we really appreciated. Great experience — thank you!!

The most amazing hostel ever, and I have stayed in loads over many years! Staff feel like a family and treat you like one also. Fresh beers, homemade Raki and free breakfast everyday! Would defiantly recommend this hostel if you want a social and friendly family run, wholesome place to stay and explore Tirana. I will be back!

I stayes here for almost 3 weeks. For this price you can not find a better hostel in my opinon. From 12 to 18 Euros in the center of Tirana is really good. You just have to be aware of, that you have to share probably a room with other people, which shouldn't be a problem, if you like travelling and meeting people. Also for this price the service was really good. In my opinion the owners did more as you should for this price. If i had a question or needed any general information they always could help me. Milingona city hostel was for me a paradise middle of chaotic Tirana. A beautiful garden to relax with a lot of citrus trees (Lemons, Oranges and Mandarines). I loved my stay here and liked the atmosphere. Hopefully if time allows, i can visit this beautyful place again.

I had an incredible stay at Milingona Hostel! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to meet fellow travelers. The staff is exceptionally friendly, always going out of their way to ensure you feel at home and have everything you need. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the common areas have such a cool vibe – perfect for relaxing or socializing. The location is ideal, close to the city center but in a quiet area, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. If you're looking for a welcoming, budget-friendly place to stay with great people, Milingona Hostel is the way to go. Highly recommended!

This is not just a place to stay. This place is a oppurtunity to find new friendships, good chat and rest! Especially Yuli is a really good friend. Also you shluld try his own Raki :) Definelitely would stay again! Thanks for everything!

I've been here 11 days.and all I can say the staff and owners have been amazing. I have to say anyone no matter your old you are they make you feel at home.
