This establishment is nestled near Avni Rustemi square and the "new market" (pazari i ri). In Turkish, oda means the room in traditional houses. And everything here evokes the Ottoman past: the comfortable sofas (benches) set around the sofra (coffee table), the oriental décor and the old-fashioned kitchen, the old photos on the wall. You will be offered specialities of dishes baked under a bell to the embers, such as the tasty and invigorating lakror në saç (burek in the form of a cheese or vegetable pie). Very good Turkish coffee and homemade raki.

Wir fanden es sehr schön dort! Die Musik am Abend hat uns gefallen und sie ging auch gar nicht so lange. Außerdem schluckt der wunderschöne Innenhof die Geräusche von der Straße, man denkt gar nicht, dass man mitten in der Stadt ist. Das Zimmer war super, das Frühstück auch!

This hostel is beautiful and in a great location, BUT there are no lockers to store your belongs (all of the keys to the lockers in the room are lost and the owners haven't bothered to fix it.) So if you're a digital nomad or just carrying expensive equipment with you, don't stay here. There is no lock on the room door either, and no door stopping restaurant guests or random people from walking into your room and stealing your stuff. With that said, Tirana is generally safe and the entry to the hostel is a bit hidden.

The second issue is there is no common area, you can't sit in the garden because that's for paying restaurant customers.

Again if you need to work or study you'll have to work from bed or go find a cafe, I went to Destil Creative Space and a couple of others and thankfully Tirana has a coffeeshop scene where they allow you sit and work from your laptop.

The third thing is the internet sucks. Like really, really sucks. I tried to have a phone call on WhatsApp and it dropped 5 times in 15 minutes.

Lastly there is no kitchen or fridge, but eating out in Tirana can be affordable.

Like the other reviews said from your window you can hear a live band play in the restaurant below (the band stops around 11pm but bring ear plugs if you want to sleep earlier.) I absolutely loved the live music every night playing old classics so for me it was part of the experience I really enjoyed. You feel like you're in the Disney movie The Aristocats. Most of the staff was completely unfriendly, BUT Neta, the older woman who cleans the rooms was very sweet and helped me with my bags and brought me my water bottle I forgot while leaving.

I stayed at this hostel for 4 nights.

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer gebucht. Wir mussten allerdings in einem Schlafsaal für 8 Personen schlafen. Eine Erstattung unserer Buchungsgebühren ist trotz Aufforderung nicht erfolgt.
Bis 11 pm ist es sehr laut im Zimmer, da im Restaurant unten Live Musik gespielt wird.
Das Frühstück war einfach und es gab keinen Kaffe sondern nur warme Milch.
Immerhin war es sauber in den Zimmern.
Wir können diese Unterkunft nicht empfehlen.

Amazing place, nice cleaning service, you get free laundry (wash and dry), free breakfast a great restaurant downstairs (great lamb) with trees and umbrellas to protect you from the sun, cute cats walking around, bands playing traditional Albanian music at night, helpful hosts that smile and break away from the eastern europe angry face stereotype they speak english, spanish and italian, amazing location with everything you will need at the door and very close to the city center (even better if you have a bike since you have bike road connections to almost everywhere in Tirana from here), good wifi. And all this for 12.5€ you can't ask for much better.
