There is a bus station just 50 metres from the Kotoni, while the Gjirokastër Obelisk and Mosque are within easy walking distance.

“Great little guest house location for the bazaar and the castle.”
Perfect location close to the bazaar and castle but not right in it. We had a kettle in our room for the first time on our trip around Albania.

Dhoma e rehatshme dhe e pastër – Dhomat janë të pajisura me kujdes, me shtratë shumë të rehatshëm dhe dekor tradicional që i përshtatet karakterit të qytetit. Mëngjesi i shijshëm – Mëngjesi ishte i freskët dhe i shijshëm, me produkte lokale dhe ëmbëlsira tradicionale. Një fillim i përkryer për ditën! Pritja e ngrohtë – Pronarët janë super miqësorë dhe shumë të përfshirë, duke na dhënë këshilla të dobishme për vizitat në Gjirokastër. Qetësia dhe pamjet – Gjendet në një vend të qetë, larg zhurmës, por shumë afër qendrës historike. Pamjet nga ballkoni janë magjepëse! **** Pa dyshim, do të rekomandoja Bed and Breakfast Kotoni** për këdo që dëshiron të përjetojë autenticitetin dhe mikpritjen e Gjirokastrës. Do të kthehemi patjetër 😊😊😊

This bed and breakfast is in a very good location within walking distance from the castle and bazaar with a nice view from the windows. Google maps wasn't very helpful in helping us reach the location and the map provided was difficult to follow however the hosts saved us parking just near the location which was ideal.

Our stay at B&B Kotoni was really good. The map provided to access the property upon arrival to Gjirokaster was a little confusing however once we located the property we had a great stay.

“Stay hete”
The people were friendly. The location was good. For an expensive old town the price was reasonable.

“Family run property with hosts who have real pride in what they do. 100% looked after. Highly recommend”
This was a great little find. Family run property just five minutes from the bazaar and castle. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts spoke wonderful English and were very keen to offer information about the town. If you are offered a glass of raki, accept it as it’s homemade and super smooth!

Great location near the old town but nice and quiet with lovely views. Spotlessly clean. Helpful friendly staff. Good breakfast included in the price. Beautiful walks nearby.
