“Exceptional hosts, a lovely stay”
The friendliness, thoughtfulness and kindness of our hosts was amazing. They were like friends. Communication with Redina was exceptional, and she and her mother went out of their way to make us feel at home. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the breakfasts delicious. And we loved the cats. The property is wonderfully situated with a great view, and just 10-15 minutes walk to the Old Town and Castle. We loved it.

“Perfection, thank you for a wonderful stay”
Ledina and her Mother were just delightful, from the moment we met them, they gave us a warm welcome into their home, the views from their place are truly breathtaking and the breakfast was the best…. I didn’t realise when booking that we would be living in someone’s home, they only have 3 rooms to rent, yes the bathroom is very small but it’s all you need. They are extending. We wish you lots of luck and will definitely be returning.

“Incredible hospitality and value for money”
Himalayas was one of the most hospitable places I have ever stayed- as a guest, you really feel like you are being welcomed into someone’s home. Nothing was too much to ask and the breakfast was super delicious and extensive. The terrace that you eat the breakfast on has the most incredible view! Our room was very comfortable and had great aircon. The place was easy enough to find- we got lost once but that had nothing to do with the location, and had everything to do with trying to use Google Maps in some of Albanias smaller towns (not all roads are marked and some are single lane but not marked as such). It’s super easy to get there if you use the road below the castle and then turn up the cobbled street. I would definitely recommend this place as it is amazing value for money.

“Best stay in Gjirokaster”
Very welcoming owners - they treated us so nicely and they made sure we had everything we need. The rooms have an amazing view over Gjirokaster and the castle, it's lovely to sit outside on one of the balconies. Everything is reachable by foot: the castle, the city center, and the famous bridge. If you're staying in Gjirokaster, you won't regret staying at Himalayas! Oh, and the breakfast is delicious!
