Hotel Gjirokastër is located 300 metres from the centre, in a part of town famous for numerous museums. The hotel is surrounded by green gardens and large parks, while the building itself is made of traditional stone and wood. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are provided.

Super nice hosts, each member of the family has been lovely, friendly, and ready to point out interesting sights of Gjirokaster. The most amazing breakfast has been served in the beautiful cafe of this boutique hotel, by the host herself. Remarkably tasty, thoughtful, delicious, presented with love and care for food and for their guests. Every morning we had different dishes to taste, what a wonderful start into the day! The location could not be better, the house is directly at the entrance to the old town, exactly where you want to be when visiting Gjirokaster, close to the historical sites, interesting museums, restaurants, and shops with traditional local products. The room in the house with lots of traditional features like playful curtains and pretty stone and woodwork has lots of space to sit comfortably, to store all things and suitcases away, and a huge bed with lovely comfortable bedding. To say only the best words would still not be good enough. So we shall simply call this accommodation the best imaginable stay in town. Try it out, you shall have no regrets!

    The terrace and view during breakfast en diner is breathtaking. The quality of the food is of high quality. Hotel just opened this year, first season of opening. Design is very classy and tasteful. The shower is to die for. Strong & hot. Kettle in the room which will be cleaned every day. Even in 5* hotels this is not the standard. Breakfast with fresh squized orange juice and eggs you wished. Go you won’t regret.

    Such a detailed mix of traditional and modern architecture, well designed and very beautiful. Our room was super clean and very comfy. The view from the balcony is just stunning! Especially enjoying a tasty and huge breakfast there in the morning, was the perfect start into the day. The owner and the stuff are very kind and helpful! Totally recommend!

    Very big, everything was clean and so nice and luxury design. It’s as nice as on the pictures and with a great view of the old town from the balcony. We‘ve been nicely greeted and were shown everything we could need in the apartment - especially the cutlery, as this is a bit hidden. Highly recommended! :-)

    Fantastic, designed appartment, very friendly and helpful owner with good English. She showed and explained everything, thank you. You hardly find more stylish appartment in the whole Albania. And the terrace with binocular and view is probably best in Gjirokaster. Little bit tricky to find as you have to go behind the pharmacy, but owner kindly help. Great choice.

    The receptionist from Singapur is a lovely girl who explained the best places to visit and eat in Gjirokaster. She was really welcoming. The hostel was super clean and the interior design makes it even better. They also offered a wash and dry service.
