The location is excellent. Close to the fortress, as well as the old town. I loved the old Ottoman-era house and vibe. The view of the mosque from the terrace was just stunning. The hosts were very friendly and acommodating.

This place was absolutely gorgeous and one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The host was incredible and greeted us with drinks and snacks. The view was breathtaking. The breakfast was delicious. For the price, this place is a 1000/10 and I will definitely be returning. It was so magical! I'm still thinking about the views!

Everything about the town I liked. Drove to Blue Eye, which was a pleasant hilly drive with views. Love old town and the history. I spent 2 nights and it was perfect length of stay. Not an easy town to walk in because it is hilly and cobblestone, but walking slow is not a problem! Need a map or a really good sense of direction to find things. Walked to Ali Pasha bridge viewpoint and then hiked down to the bridge.
The Albanian people are so kind, always smiling and ready to help.
The drive from Tirana airport to Gjirokaster was fairly easy. I followed google maps and had no wrong turns. 3 hour drive.

The town is beautiful and interesting for its fortified houses. Also is on UNESCO list. The old centre is very pleasant to walk around, it has an atmosphere. Car traffic was quite problematic, the roads between the houses are very narrow and very steep. Also, Google maps did not have good enough background and often led us somewhere where, for example, instead of a road was staircase. The old stone roads were very slippery in the rain ;-) Ono or two night is enought to stay here.

Albanian thoughts:
Albanian thoughts:
Spent a week here in April 2024 – so many positives …
Purely electronic passport gates at Tirana airport – an advantage if low on passport stamp space? Swift bus into town centre. Euros very widely accepted, 1:1 with the local Lek currency. Felt safe, met many great people and enjoyed a lot of raki; wine rather so-so, beer better … Trains are close to non-existent; negotiating the minibus service involves arriving and paying on the spot – found it straightforward; typical price: Tirana to Gjirokastra – 4 hours - £10 ..; saw stunning mountain scenery in last 2 hours, and when crossing the mountains from this town to Sarande port (1hr15, £3.30). Accommodation costs very favourable: enjoyed flats at £9 pppn. From Sarande, easy enough to catch a ferry or hydrofoil to Corfu, as a return airport – ca/ £20 single, 30-60 mins. Albaniatourguide proved a very useful online resource. Looking forward to next trip: apparently 12 degrees even in January …

Gjirokastra stands as an enchanting and historically rich destination deserving of exploration. If you seek an unparalleled and genuine Albanian adventure, Gjirokastra emerges as the ideal destination to embark upon. Cheap hotels and cheap food prices

Only had time to visit the castle.
Only had time to visit the castle. Spent several hours there. Would love to come back for the folk arts festival and visit some of the houses with the specific architecture that put this place on the UNESCO list.

Beautiful historic city with lots of things to do - visit castle, go on walk through narrow streets and bazaar, try tradicional cuisine. You can also visit lots of natural places near the city on hour long distances
English: The place was very clean and well kept. The host was so nice and a great. They helped us with our luggage and fed us fruit after our long drive to Gjirokaster. I would reccomend this pace to everyone.
Albanian: Vendi ishte shumë i pastër dhe i mbajtur mirë. Pritësi ishte shumë i këndshëm dhe i mrekullueshëm. Ata na ndihmuan me bagazhet tona dhe na ushqyen me fruta pas udhëtimit të gjatë për në Gjirokastër. Këtë ritëm do ua rekomandoja të gjithëve.
This hotel is gorgeous- everything is immaculate and so lovely. Beautiful blond wood everywhere, accented with lovely albanian textiles. Our room was perfect and had the most stunning view of the Gjirokastra valley. Tatiana and her son were so kind and welcoming and made sure we were as comfortable as could be. Tatian greeted us every morning and made us a splendid breakfast. There can’t possibly be a lovelier hotel in Gjirokastra!
One of the best rooms we have ever booked! We liked it so much!! Very clean and beautiful room, perfect location (near to the center). The owners very friendly and the did the best for us. We ate also dinner in the hotel's restaurant and we ate delicious and traditional albanian food!! The breakfast was full!! Our room (double deluxe) had perfect view and was perfect decorated! 🥰
We loved the location - so central to old town sites and to restaurants! the room was very modern, quiet and clean and had fabulous views over Gjirokaster!
the staff were amazing. we were lost when two off duty staff found us and rang the hotel to get someone to show us where the parking station was - they came in the car to direct.
breakfast was great too.
An amazing little hotel. Staff was super friendly and helped so much even with my early arrival. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was clean and there was very good water pressure. Would highly recommend it if you are in the area it's just a short walk in old town. My room had a beautiful view of the castle and the snow-capped mountains.
Clean, large, nicely furnished apartment with great views. Good communication with owner who helped with parking, which was important as the parking and driving in Gjirokaster is extremely challenging! Anyone who has mobility issues would definitely struggle to walk up and down into town - it's up a fairly steep hill.
Our stay with Tatiana was a highlight of our trip to Gjirokaster. Her warm welcome made us feel at home straight away.
This beautiful hotel is very central and fits in as a historic building. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean.
Don't miss out on the wonderful breakfast. It was a delicious treat!
Castle Hotel is beautiful and cozy. The family who owns the hotel was super nice, very helpful and we felt at home there. The place is absolutely beautiful and the view as well. We stayed two nights since one day wasn't enough in this lovely city. I highly recommend this hotel and Gjirokastër as well.
An extraordinary hospitality. As soon as we arrived in Gjirokaster, the owner of the hotel took us with his car from buss station to hotel.The hotel was very clean and very comfortable. a fantastic breakfast, we enjoyed the pancakes with honey. We will come back again. thank you for everything Martin
Beautiful hotel on the top of the hill with view of the whole Gjirokaster, nice folk style room, really clean and well furnished, super hepful staff and perfect breakfast with plenty buffet food to choose from. Best breakfast on our Albania trip, very tasty. Parking at location direct on hotel spot.
The hotel is beautiful and the location perfect for exploring Gjirokastër. But what surprised us the most are the wonderful people working in the hotel. It was one of the best experiences during our holiday! Thanks again for the lovely surprise the second time we came this week! The Dutch couple:)
Excellent place, amazing location. The hotel has a mix of decorations of traditional and modern. I would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Gjirokaster. The owner and the staff were amazing, very helpful, and welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh. So, defently 10 out of 10
Staff was smiley and very helpful at the hotel. They prepared a nice breakfast for us for the requested time which was earlier than their standard breakfast time. Staff helped to carry my luggage to the room and also helped after check-out to carry close to our car due to stone streets.
Just getting to know Maradona is special, the hotel is traditional bit with a modern touch. AC and WIFI working with no problems. The owner will help you with everything. If you are in Gjirokaster I would definitely reccomend.
A lovely hotel just 5 minutes walk from the Bazaar, and 10 from Gjirokaster castle. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast included was super tasty! Great value for money over all
A really cool way to experience Gjirokaster. You really are staying in the 1800’s. Fun to light a fire and keep warm .
The place is big and really a unique experience.
Wonderful typical hotel
Super friendly staff
Room and bathroom super clean
All in typical Albania style
Nice view at the balcony
Nice breakfast under the vine
