Himara Downtown Hostel

We stayed at this family-run hostel for a week and we had a really nice stay. The place is really cozy and super clean. Kasandra has been super nice, she was always really helpful and made us feel really comfortable. The location of the hostel is also ideal, really close to the beach, restaurants and markets. Really recommend it!

I came here in September in the wake of tourist season and Covid. I was the only guest along with a volunteer, but Kasandra was extremely hospitable. The hostel is very small in terms of dorms, but with that has a good indoor/outdoor common space and feels a lot more intimate than most hostels in a positive way. Granted I was the only guest, but the internet was the fastest I’ve had in Albania at 25 mbps, and I was able to Zoom with no trouble. The location is central to the promenade, and you can easily walk to local restaurants and the beach. THEY HAVE GOOD AIR CONDITIONING! Kasandra was also gracious with allowing me a late checkout to take my online classes, etc. Only thing that would make this better would be small touches like a shower caddy/shelf, and the ability to flush toilet paper (which I think is beyond the Hostel’s help due to plumbing). But the hospitality here is real, and if you’re in Himare, this is the place to stay.

The best location you can ask for. The beach is approximately 100 feet walk away. Super friendly staff who provide you with anything you need. Nice and clean rooms and bathrooms. 100% recommended.

Nice outdoor seating. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location...near beach, shopping and restaurants. Had beach umbrellas for loan. Well priced beer.

Clean and lovely Hostel! Nice owner and amazing included breakfast! And it‘s super close to the beach. Will come there again!
