“I had a pleasant time in Gjirokaster.”
The dorm was very comfortable and clean. I met many solo backpackers from all over the world. We shared our different itineraries about where to go and where have we been. I stayed 4nights here and never felt boring. The families were so friendly and helpful. The owner helped me to drop my heavy luggage to the bus station. I felt so lucky that I chose to stay in this lovely hostel.

Lovely hosts who provided free cold tap water and even gave us grapes from the vine! A lovely building in the old town with small hostel rooms so minimal noise and a great sleep. Location couldn't possibly be better.

“Loved it”
Lovely property in excellent location up a short flight of stone steps. The bed was very comfortable, as was the lounge and kitchen area. The host, Caliope, was a lovely woman. Limited English but that didn’t matter as she was still able to explain everything and show me how to lock the doors etc. Her daughter came to apologise for the lack of English, but there was no reason to worry because she was lovely and amazing. No complaints. Good shower, decent sized bedroom with lockable storage for larger backpack as well as a smaller locker that was provided for passports, money, cameras, etc. Located right on the main strip, only 2 metres from restaurants and coffee shops etc. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location, right in the old quarter of Mangalem and a great view of Gorica through the cozy patio with its grapevines. And Kaliopi and Konstandin are the loveliest people, they offered me a coffee as soon as I arrived, told me what to see in Berat. I had food poisoning from somewhere I ate in town and was sick all night and they looked after me so well with all their natural remedies. They have a huge heart, honestly worth staying just for them but also the place is really nice. I felt right at home.

“Amazing experience!”
Mangalem I couldn't have asked for a better experience in Berat! I was greeted by Genta who, together with her mother Kaliopi, helped me carry my belongings upstairs - she remember I had a leg injury and the help of both was really appreciated. The entire family, Genta and her parents are very kind people, willing to help and explain about the city. Curiously, the longest conversation I had was with Genta's father, a very wise gentleman who speaks amazing French! The house has a view of the river and Gorica, there's a small balcony with shade, chairs to sit. The house itself is also well-equipped, there are many tourist brochures with information about Berat and surroundings. It's also good that you don't have to climb a lot to reach the house. Mainly because of the hosts this short stay was so special, I'll recommend this place to anyone coming to Albania and Berat, because this family definitly deserves it, the hospitality is amazing!
