=== Private sector ===

In Tirana one can easily get accommodated in so called private sector: these are people who have their apartments arranged to accepts occasional tourists. It is safe, quite cheap (you can talk about how much you can pay), you get friendly company (if needed) and tips how and where. To find these kind of places just ask some more tidily looking folks on the street, or in Internet cafes and other similar places.

=== Hostel ===

Milingona Hostel in Tirana is the cheapest option in the city, you can as well use the garden to camp or have a spacious dorm for only 10 euros or less. Located very central only few minutes walk to the main attractions and city center. Lovely hostel run by three sisters that make your stay great. I would definitely recommended this place if you need to have information about the country and the city, the people working there have lots of information. Directions : Starting from the national museum or Tirana international hotel, you have to walk not more than 10 to 15 minutes straight up Rruga e Dibres, the road splits, stay to the right after you have past the Medrese school the first street to the right is Riza Cerova Street, on the corner you will see a traditional restaurant Frenki, 3 to 5 meters a small lane leading to the hostel.You can also jump in a taxi from Skanderbeg Square, where the national museum and Tirana international hotel are located and drive to our hostel. The ride should cost 300Lek.

There is a nice and individual hostel (with free internet access): Tirana Backpacker Hostel, at Rruga Myslim Shyrit, in "Villa 7", but that's not really an address because every house just chooses its own address. It's in a back alley, behind the "Alpet" petrol station, which is on the main street. (Hostel moved end of 2011).

You can't find hostels with a cooler staff, so your 12 Euro are invested in a good way. Everyone is helpful and there have been a lot of legendary evenings inside the kitchen of the hostel. Highly recommended!
