The Galley Hostel
We are a semi party hostel with an art commune vibe. Staying here you will learn all about Shkoder and embed yourself in Albanian culture. You will get to see all the hidden gems that Shkoder has to offer while learning a bit about hostel hospitality and culture: hands-on experience with nearly every aspect of a working hostel.
Hello! I'm Zach (the one with the glasses in our profile pic). Our place is the collaborative dream of myself and my friend Albano. Albano is from Shkoder and is the real brains of the operation. He loves working out and sarcasm. I'm a former scuba photographer from the USA who has been adopted by Albania. Our dream is to create a hostel where anyone is welcome, a place that balances both daytime adventures with nighttime shenanigans. You will be treated like family here.

About the experience in: Shkodër, Albania
Egypt
It was a lovely experience for me as an artist, I was completely free to do what I want to do and what I see appealing for the space, got all the supplies I needed, the managers and owners are fun and nice, Albano and his family are so nice, Kieran was a great manager who didn’t put any pressure on me, Shkoder itself is a lovely place to be, the galley is a decent hostel with party and fun atmosphere.

If you like to party, socialize, meet people from all over and celebrate every night, The galley is for you. A really fun experience in a beautiful city, with mountains and lakes that you absolutely have to visit. I really enjoyed working at the bar and I met people who are part of my life today. Thank you Albano and Eltion for everything.
And to the staff for all the good vibes, especially Ross and Georgia :) and the best manager Kieran.
We will see each other again!

Volunteering at The Galley is a fantastic opportunity to connect with worldwide travelers and contribute to a fun, new hostel in Shkoder. The owner Albano and manager Kieran make it a fun atmosphere and you can tell they truly care about you and your time with them. Get ready to help with reception, laundry, cleaning, some events, and to party!
