Our favourite stay in Albania! The owner is super helpful, found us parking, and ensured we had a great stay! The rooms were super spacious and decorated so lovely. The pool had an amazing view and was so nice to sit around! The location is perfect - right between the castle and the town! Could not ask for a better stay from such a lovely family!!

Our stay here in Gjirokastra was incredible! The hotel staff were incredibly generous with helping direct us to drive toward the property when we contacted them, they helped us settle in very quickly, and the pool area was lovely! Breakfast was delicious and everything about the hotel made us feel relaxed and set us up for a lovely time wandering the city.

“A beautiful comfortable hotel with amazing staff.”
This is a beautiful hotel, in the family for generations, and beautifully looked after. The breakfasts were amazing. We had to leave early on the last day and they were up early to make breakfast and see us off. A great hotel.

“Wonderful stay, amazing hosts”
We had a fantastic stay! The room is beautifully decorated, featuring a stunning traditional carved wooden ceiling that gives it a very special atmosphere. At the same time, the bathroom is modern and even has floor heating, which was a great touch. The location is perfect—very central, yet tucked away from the noise. We also really appreciated the incredibly detailed arrival instructions, which made finding the place so much easier. The family running the hotel is very friendly and welcoming. And as a bonus, they have a very sweet cat! We would definitely stay here again.

“Hightly recommended family run hotel in a great location.”
Nice small family run hotel. When we arrived we were given a choice of rooms - all were nice with some larger than others and some with views and others without. The one we chose was a very decent size with a very good large bed. Room and bathroom were spotless. Very nice shower! Breakfast was very good - good selection and nice coffee! Parking was on street directly outside the hotel. When we arrived they had "reserved" a parking space for us with a traffic cone. Location is excellent, just below the Castle and right next to the Bazaar with loads of shops, bars and restaurants.

“Lovely hotel for visiting the castle and old town”
I found the breakfast outstanding: eggs and pastries and cakes and fruit all brought to the table. I loved the wooden furniture and wood panel ceiling, and the bed was comfortable and the room warm. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from both the old town below and the castle above.

Great hotel with such welcoming staff. The rooms are amazing, old rooms with pure charm while still being very luxurious (the bed was amazing!), and a very nice bathroom. It's located right between the Bazar and the castle and you can park right in front of the hotel. Last but not least, the breakfast with its fresh fruit was abundant and varied. Couldn't recommend this hotel enough!

Gjirokaster Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The location is very convenient, close to key attractions and easy to get around. The breakfast was fresh and tasty. What really stood out was how helpful and kind the owners were—they made sure everything was comfortable and enjoyable. I would happily stay here again.
