Reception lady was very helpful. The best improvement would be to make a bus map for Tirana available, with instructions how to reach the hostel from the airport bus stop at Skanderbe square. Google maps shows no buses in Tirana, which is false . Green line bus stop 2 minutes from hostel.

Cons: The structure of the room feels odd: imagine a hallway leading to a private room, the shared room is in the hallway. Pros: nice garden for social, comes with nice breakfast.

The day staff are great! Always ready to help and we were happy to have some breakfast ready in the morning. We were assigned with a moldy room with no windows (there was a filty back balcony and if you leave the entrance door open the smell of smoke would come to our room). We talked to Melisa and she promptly moved us to a nicer room with new finishes and a window (yey). Hope the higher management fix that room, seriously. We didn't use the common areas since people were smoking everywhere (besides the room and the kitchen, everywhere else). When we quickly used the kitchen the evening staff was a bit annoying checking if the stove hood on - like 3x in 30 min. Wish they cared more about the smell of cigarettes than the smell of food. We sent some clothes for washing and it came back great, we also use the shuttle to the airport and went everything perfect.

This place is delightful. Melissa & Christina look out for their guests. Breakfast is made with love and varies each day. So sad they aren't full, but under normal circumstances (non-Covid) they would be and should be because Mosaic is a great space in a convenient location run by kind folks. Internet averages 14 Mbps. I'll stay here again for sure when next I pass through.
