NANA

The hostel started out clean and the host seemed friendly, but the stay quickly turned into a nightmare. After a second night the AC remote vanished and the owner wouldn’t hand it back, even though it was 37 °C outside; a half‑hour argument over language barriers left me feeling helpless. She kept hovering in the kitchen, dictating how to cook my eggs and forcing me to turn the AC off at night, then took my room key and explained that there were no lockers because it was a hostel, not a hotel.

The garden turtles were a charming sight, but the rest of the stay was a nightmare. I couldn't get a word from the owner, even with a translator, and the tiny bathroom for 12 people was so noisy that I could hear everyone in the lounge, kitchen, and garden. She was constantly watching over us and could be heard from every corner of the hostel. I would not recommend this place.

“Terrible”

Staying at Nana Hostel was a nightmare – the owner wouldn’t turn on the AC in 98 °F heat, accused me of wasting electricity, and the bed was a flop. She and her husband barged into my room 3–5 times a day, even when I was still in my towel after a shower, and they kept demanding payment every day. I prepaid for six nights but could only stay one, and I never got a refund for the rest. They speak only Albanian, so communication was impossible, and overall they’re just uncaring.

“No es para nada confiable. La primera vez que nos pasa en Albania”

We got there at 10 pm exhausted, but the owner immediately tried to take our stuff and started arguing with other guests in a language we didn't understand, kicking us out of our room. The next day, when everyone else had left, we were left alone in a house that wasn't even a hostel and were offered a tiny room with crosses – it was downright creepy.

The place is beautiful and spotless, but the owner is overbearing and never lets you control the room temperature, keeping the remote because she says AC is too costly. She constantly watches you, gives you a lecture when she's unhappy, and even wakes you up abruptly. If you value privacy, stay elsewhere.
