“Beautiful traditional house at a gate to the old town of Gjirokastër.”
The hotel is in a beautiful traditional house with a garden, looking on hills and traditional houses. Its entrance is one level below the main pedestrian square, which can be accessed through a public elevator (when it works) or by a large outdoor staircase. The room decoration is also traditional. From the square, the heart of the old town is paces away. The reception is friendly.

Nice breakfast on the terrace Helpful staff Clear instructions for multistorey parking just adjacent made access to Gjirokaster easier than what we feared

Nice place although our room was a little dark. There was also a lot of noise in the mornings with staff setting up breakfast.

Friendly staff, great location, simple, clean, has everything you need! I would recommend it to anyone staying a night or two in Gjirokaster. Parking at the modern covered car park nearby was perfect, just 5 seconds from the hotel door.

“Excellent place to stay when visiting Gjirokastër”
Right on the edge of the old town. Spacious rooms. Good air conditioning. Very helpful staff. Read the directions message they send as Google maps is not accurate! Would stay here again

“Lovely traditional family run hotel with a fantastic location”
Three generations of lovely ladies run this beautiful, traditional Hotel in Gjirokaster. They were the perfect hosts. The location is perfect, just steps away from the heart of the town and in a lovely tranquil location. The family room was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.

The owner was incredibly attentive. For example, he hurried upstairs when he heard us trying to bring our cases down and then took them all the way to the car park for us.

Room with a/c and renovated bathroom, mini frigo also available at the room. No elevator and difficult access (very difficult to reach by car). Very good breakfast with multiple options and local products. Located near the city center (old bazaar and cold war tunnel)

“A truly wonderful experience”
We had an excellent stay. A very warm welcome from the staff and owner. The hotel is in an excellent location in the heart of the old bizar. Beautifully restored to its original condition.The view of the mountains from our room was stunning. Parking was next to the hotel. We had a peaceful and comfortable nights sleep. The shower was powerful and included shower gel, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. We loved everything about Gjirokester and so glad we came while on a road trip in Albania. I would definitely recommend Kastro Hotel and would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

“Just wonderful”
Wonderful little establishment, right in the middle of beautiful Gjirokaster. We enjoyed our short stay there very much. The room was super clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom too. In the morning a buffet breakfast of a very good variety was offered with outside seating on a very nice terrace. And to top it all, the hosts and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. A clear 10/10 from us.
