Clean rooms and dorms, the cat, ambience, laundry facility, kitchen facility

Card payment was not allowed. I had local Albanian currency. The bill was given in euro and converted again back to local currency at very high exchange rate which was unfair. I had to pay more than what was listed

Nice and clean guesthouse in Tirana, located near some shops, coffee shops and restaurants 20-minute away from Skanderberg square (by foot). The reception staff was very friendly and ready to help. You can get some breakfast for 2€ and it’s possible to wash and dry clothes. Wifi available in the bedroom. There is a supermarket right next to it.

Curtains on beds would be nice to have some privacy (especially when people come late and turn on the light).

Mosaic is centrally located with easy access to many of the tourist attractions in Tirana — along with bars, cafes, and restaurants. The bed and rooms are comfy; the daily breakfast is something you can’t miss; and the staff is so incredibly kind and fun that you will never want to leave! Mosaic is a top hostel.

In terms of price and location. The hostel is conveniently situated near many coffee shops, with a supermarket just outside the gate. It's only a 15-minute walk to Skanderbeg Square and quite easy to find.

The smell of cigarettes from the chill-out area wafts into the rooms. The toilets could benefit from more regular cleaning, ideally a few times a day. Privacy curtains for each bed would be a great addition. Additionally, the beds should be checked regularly, as some have become loose, causing the top bunk to be squeaky and shaky, which might be disturbing to some guests.

They invested in mattresses and the wooden frames were very sturdy and comfortable. The staff were excellent, empathetic and very helpful. The reception kindly swapped some euros into Albanian cash for me when I arrived.

I think it's just the hostel culture around the area but I was wary about my valuables, as there was no key to the room or to the hotel building, but they had 24hr reception. The lockable wooden cupboards were decent but not the same as a metal safe (but i didn't ask if they had extra options so this may be in me). Overall, I still felt safe enough and would recommend it as accommodation and stay again in the future.

The staff are a wonderful team! Greta was a pleasure to meet the first day , I requested a few extra things and she so was kind to go the extra mile! Melissa is full of life and they both make a great team. They work around the clock to keep the hostel clean , they do laundry services and the best part is .. at night we all have a good nights sleep from 10pm onwards! The hostel is quiet. Next door is Big market supermarket, the bakery is a few metres from the hostel , along with the fresh vegetable market ! The hostel with literally the best beds !! Amazing location in the heart of Tirana . All the best !

Nice hostel with a good breakfast.

Probably the best Hostel I've ever been. It's clean, stylish, convenient location (between bus station and main Square, all at walking distance), friendly staff, reasonable price and amazing breakfast : not the usual hostel bread-jam-coffee, here you get real food: salads, cheese, fried eggs, delicious toasts and it's different every day. A special thanks to Christina for cooking and being so kind.

Nothing

The hostel looks incredible with great common areas in the courtyard and balcony for people to socialise and a well equipped kitchen to use during working hours. Staff were really kind and always happy for a chat, and the dorms were clean and had curtains for added privacy. I used the laundry service for 5€ which was really easy and came back in perfect condition!

The toilets that we were allocated for the 10-Bed dorm used bifold doors and could easily be walked in on even when locking them, and not a lot of privacy as the toilets are in the same room are the beds.

I loved the building and the outdoor space. The indoor common area with the big window was cool too! All the staff members were so lovely and did all they could to help you feel comfortable. Despite some loudness in the common areas it was easy to sleep at night, in my dorm anyway. Literally next door to a market/ shop to get any supplies. Friendly people who stayed there.

It was a little bit of a walk from town, but I didn’t mind that. It was still close to a load of bars and food places. I agree with previous travellers about the bathroom though - just the one for two dorms didn’t seem like enough and the toilet paper ran out regularly.
