The place is adorable! Maria the owner gave us a warm welcome, set with us to explain every thing about the city and made us feel at home! the place is beautiful with a spectacular view over the city and fortress! the location is great close to the center and the fortress. the breakfast was good and we enjoyed it looking at the city :) The room was a part of a shared apartment and we had our private bathroom and shower, but you feel like you're visiting a family so you don't mind that it's shared :) Very important - it's a bit difficult to get there with GPS, I would recommend to get close to the place (about 300m) and than look at the place on Google Maps and try to get to the point just from looking at the map and not using the navigation, because it'll take you through small and slippery roads. Overall we had a great time over there! Thank you Maria!

    The hosts were amazing, very short walk to the city centre, the hosts met us from the highway and guided us to the house, they were available at any time with any problem and left us chocolates, pickles, raiki, homemade jam and came back with fresh fruit for us and extra cutlery just in case. Everything was very clean, good wifi and any kitchen appliances you would want including a juicer. They went above and beyond if I were to come back this is where I would stay. Best booking.com hosts I have had.

    Absolutely everything. But above all, the hospitality and care of the hostess of the guest house. Very cozy room in national style. Good Wi-Fi. The room has a vein, shower gel, shampoo. In the morning, at the time agreed upon the day before, we were brought breakfast, incredibly tasty and homemade. After checking out, we left our things at the hotel and went for a walk around the town. The hotel is well located, a 3-4 minute walk from the Bazaar, very quiet, with a beautiful view of the mountains from the window

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Maradone is the best host you'll ever met! Great location of the hotel + Maradona is willing you to taxi you to the old city centre. Please don't eat in the city centre, the best & most cheap dinner you'll find in the hotel :)

    Ernest and his family were very kind hosts, ready to help us whenever needed. The place is even better in real then shown in the pictures: very comfortable and clean room, cosy terrace in the shadow to enjoy a drink or a very tasty homemade breakfast. As it gets hot in summer you can enjoy the small swimming pool. The hotel is in a great location: right in the city centre and near main attractions of Gjirokastër but in a quiet street.
