“Perfect”
PERFECT location, could not be more central. The family that work there are lovely, so kind and helpful. Facilities are all clean and comfortable, two separate showers and toilets which is good. Restaurant downstairs, air con, lockers, towels provided, hanging space in the showers so your stuff doesn’t get wet… had it all.

“Great hostel with great people”
The place was great! The owner and his family are doing a great job with their business. They made me feel like being at my own home! I am also working as a digital nomad and the owner made sure to create my own spot, where I can work in peace. Generally, these guys make everything possible to make you feel welcome and I home. I definitely recommend it, if you go to Gjirokaster, It's ine of the best hostels I've been ao far

This hostel is clean and the bed is conformable. It has four separate bathrooms and showers. It have different option of 6 beds rooms or private rooms. And the location is in the center of old Bazar. It has restaurant. And Marjan is the man, he will do everythings to help you. My original plan was one day to stay, then I have extended it for additional one day.

Comfortable beds, good pillows and blankets. Fantastic location in the middle of the main old street. No kitchen facilities but the hosts were happy to provide hot water for my coffee 3in1’s. They also took me to the bus stop the last morning which was very kind

Marian was very friendly and helpful since the first minute. He helped us with our car and lend us phone chargers. However, there was no breakfast as said in booking and the room was smaller than it seemed.

“Great location, beautifully styled and”
Beautiful stylish hostel in the heart of the old town and around the corner from the bazaar. The rooms are spotless and the bathroom modern and clean. I arrived in December out of season and was the only guest. Gjirokaster castle is a short walk away.

“Excellent location, great place”
Great location, very comfortable beds and excellent facilities. Not many people at this time of year so I had the room for myself most nights. I was unfortunate to have the American-Albanian music festival just under my window sill on the first night, which made it noisy, but it finished at midnight so no problem. Very quiet.

Marian goes above and beyond for everyone. The place was so good that I volunteered here for 2 weeks, right by the bazaar, very clean
