Where to stay in Gjirokaster

Very nice hotel...a struggle to find, but worth it. Clean and tidy, nice staff with good English. Large room out front was comfy but you do get morning noise, i might have preferred no view as we didn't sit in the room at all.

I can definitely recommend this small hotel. Very cozy, friendly and helpful staff, nice pool and a little gym with a great view. Located right next to the old town. Our room was on the top floor and the roof was a little low, but it was clean, nice and with good air conditioning

Lovely small hotel in an old house, very close the bazaar centre. Good size rooms, modern bathroom. Also a small swimming pool and patio area where they serve a big and varied breakfast. Helpful staff, couldn't fault it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It’s more like a boutique hotel or bed and breakfast. Wonderful welcome by the staff. Our room was spacious for our family of 4. We were considering a larger resort there, but I’m so happy we didn’t. Praga was closer and a short walk to the old town and…that big resort is not walkable to the sites. The room was super clean and had modern and nice bathrooms. The...

Everything was superb!!! The room, view, service, location and parking. We loved everything about this hotel. Amazing place!

Traditional hotel built like a big family house with modern guest rooms. Every floor living room is decorated with traditional carpets, chests and other knick knacks. The rooms have carved ceilings. The breakfast is a big and plentiful.

Beautiful hotel. We had a big beautiful room with a stone ceiling. The room was clean. We had a great stay overall. Parking spaces available

A little paradise in the old town! The hotel is located at a quiet street without any noise from the nightlife, still in the centre though. Ervin or Evangelos (in Greek) is a lovely host, he showed us all available rooms to choose from, he made a list only for us according to what we wanted, and has a friendly and very sweet way of taking care of us. You must stay for breakfast in the morning, you...

On our 2-Week trip in Albania, this was our favourite hotel. Beautiful rooms, looking like they were recently renovated but with nice touch of traditional furniture. Stunning views. We got a warm welcome from the very attentive and helpful staff.

Lovely hotel, with traditional decoration and traditional breakfast made right in front of you ! Great staff and comfortable rooms, bathroom was modern and clean. The location is perfect: five minutes away from the centre and calm neighbourhood. Would definitely come back !

A smart hotel, well located in the centre of town, close to the shopping area but still a good trek up to the castle (but it is worth it). Nice rooms, but ours was at the back and faced a wall! Breakfast was good with the first selection of teas I'd seen in Albania. Bar service was also very good.

Old communist Hotel. Nice top roof restaurant with views of the city. Seminar rooms available for events. Room prices above average. Credit cards accepted. Rooms can be noisy due to car and buses passing by.

A nice hotel, good value for money. Breakfast is all you can eat, and it's served on the top floor so that you can enjoy a view of the city. Location of the hotel is also very good.

Im impressed of this beautiful guesthouse uder old Castle. You waking up and going to terrace with nice smell of jasmine and stuning view at city with mountains. Owner is very helpful, nice smiling family. Perfect food and brakfast. Thank you a lot, we will come back next time ;) Filip

Stayed at the guest house for two nights during a motorbiketrip. We have been welcomed super friendly by the hosts. Enjoyed tasty homemade food, a charming atmosphere and a fantastic place to stay. Thanks!

The place is wonderfully located overhanging the Drin valley and next to Gjirokaster castle. The hosts are lovely and make you feel at home. We highly recommend.

Our host Harikla and her husband have been very accommodating and made our stay pleasant. Great communication, basic but delicious breakfast, stunning views in the morning, clean room, quiet location. We needed some help to navigate the toads with the car and our hosts kindly offered to help. I also appreciated the free private parking. The homemade fig jam was delicious! If fresh air is important...

The owner was such a nice women, who is fluent in several languages (Italian, English and even more). She made us feel welcome from the start, with her home made lemonade and the extensive breakfast, which you can enjoy on the terrace. Almost felt sad leaving. It felt like a breath of fresh air. Thanks again!

Great location high up in the hills above Gjirocaster. Do not try to walk here with bags as the roads are cobblestone and steep! The owners will pick you up from the bus station for 600 Lek which is worthwhile investment. Once here the guesthouse is close to everything. 5 mins to the bazaar and then onto and upwards to the castle or down to the Cold War tunnels, both must sees. There is a rooftop...

The food is good, but the problems are as if it were on the seashore, the service is bad, the waiter's behavior is bad, I don't want to visit that place!!!!!??

We stopped by by chance after looking for somewhere to eat and was pleasantly surprised. They have a kind of buffet but where they kindly ask you to see the food (especially because of the difference in languages, although they speak English) and choose what you like best. We ordered a kind of lasagna but made with delicious macaroni, rice with chicken the same, a kind of empanada but with its Albanian...

The location is spectacular with gorgeous views across the mountains. The food is delicious and great value. Room was super clean. Hosts are friendly and welcoming.

This place is like a paradise! The are is super chill and wonderful. The nature is so calming. I loved that we could watch the sunset from our room. We had a delicious dinner and also breakfast. The food was fresh and local. We also tasted the local wine, it fitted perfectly to the food. I've never seen as that many stars before my life what we could see there at night. Wow! Thank you so much for...

The excellent place if you want to relax and breathe some fresh air.The people are very friendly and generally the atmosphere is very cozy.I recommend it 100%

I recommend visiting this hotel, it is very beautiful, I will visit it again , Fresh food, excellent experience

The perfect place to be! The best service ever! We spent our night in a cozy room with a perfect view

Room very clean, guesthouse beautiful, albanian breakfast delicious, owners friendly and a very good localisation in the old city! What else? Faleminderit 🥰

very clean and nice room! good location with a short 5 to 10 minutes walk from the center. the balcony offers a wonderful view. would definitely go back there anytime. we had a really good time. 100 percent recommended.

Nice and welcoming guesthouse run by a local family. The location next to the very old town is superb. There are plenty of places in a short walking distance to hang out, the neighbourhood offers stunning views and the staff was most helpful. One can enjoy breakfast on the terrace overlooking the town. The castle is a short climb away.

Absolutely amazing place in a perfect location. The owners were more than friendly and helpful. The room was big and comfortable with a great view. Breakfast was generous and super delicious.

Loved our 2 night stay here. The room and balcony area was really lovely and comfortable, and exceeded expectations from the photos we saw - the pictures didn't do it justice. The location is brilliant, breakfast perfect and the owner is absolutely wonderful and couldn't have been more generous and accommodating. Very much recommended.

We had a wonderful three day stay here. Beautiful views from the room, very clean and comfortable. The hosts were truly warm and welcoming, and we were amazed by the huge delicious breakfast! It’s in a perfect location and a short walk to the castle, bazar and all the old town things to see. Definitely worth a visit!

This is the place ypu would love to stay. Clean, warm rooms, city view, delicious breakfast and the most important hospitable people! Enjoy your stay!

This is absolutely the best place I have had the pleasure of staying. The room was nice, we had a little balcony with a view of the city and everything was in order. What sets this place apart, though is the family who runs it. They all went above and beyond and made us feel very welcome. And the breakfast was amazing with homemade Jam, homegrown fruit and I could go on! In the middle of old town gjirokaster...

Room vas very clean, the bed was comfortable, the owner was very simpatic. Breakfast was very good. Many people in the comments complained about the location but we liked it. Hotel was located in quiet zone but close to the tourist places like for example the castle. It is true that hotel is located in high place and that google map leads through the wrong road, through stairs that you cant drive...

The room is so beautiful and the design is unique, one of the most beautiful rooms that I have stayed in. The shower is clean and spacious. The hosts were lovely and kind and the breakfast was served in the terrace. Highly recommended!!

Super nice small hotel with 3 rooms in the old town of Gjirokaster. Very clean, nice terasse where you get your continental breakfast. Its up on the hill, you should be in good walking condition.

Very good place to stay in Gjirokaster. Amazing hosts, amazing place and even more incredible breakfast. I only don't put 5 stars because we had a lot of troubles to find the place because google directions are not correct and we didn't get any message from the host explaining how to get there. Finally they had to come where we were and help us to get there.

Amazing little spot in the city. Nice rooms, Super clean, comfortable mattresses, lovely terrace, exceptional breakfast. Everything is TOP in this small hotel, also the the owner, who is a lovely lady. The hotel is located uphill but very close to the city centre. Re quality-price is unbeatable.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Irma, the host, is amazing, warm, and super accommodating. The place is at the top of the mountain with a lovely view from the terrace. Is just about 10min walking from the very heart of Old Town market. It includes a delicious and huge breakfast (we couldn’t eat half of it!). The room is quiet, cozy, and beautifully decorated. We woke up to a room full of natural...

This is the best Guesthouse we have been to in Albania. The location is amazing, just a few minutes from the bazaar and the castle. The host was extremely helpful with the arrival and our stay there, and even helped us to book activities around town. The breakfasts were yummy, in front of the inspiring views of the Gjirokaster stone rooftops.

Book in now! This place is just amazing - the host Edmond, plus his family made our stay unforgettable. The rooms are great - imagine you are staying in your own personal castle - chandeliers and all! But the hospitality was what made it special. We were able to try some homemade wine, and enjoyed the Best Breakfast on the deck with a view of the city. Thanks so much

This was a wonderful experience. The view from our balcony was incredible to say the least. The room and bathroom were lovely and our host Edmond was extremely helpful and considerate. The breakfast was amazing as well. Truly a wonderful stay in an incredibly gorgeous city!

A super cute guesthouse in the old town of Gjirokastra with a great host. The lovingly decorated rooms offer everything you need. We had here the best breakfast in Albania with enchanting view.

I had an unforgettable experience at Mele Guesthouse in Gjirokaster, Albania. The guesthouse is located in the heart of the city, and the building itself is a beautifully restored traditional house with stunning views of the city and the mountains. The room was comfortable and clean, with all the amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. The hospitality of the owners was exceptional. They were warm...

Awesome place in the middle of the old city in Gjirokastra. Attentive owner, clean and fresh rooms and perfect location. I would definitely stay here again. Looks just like the pictures. Highly recommended 😊

The owner was very very helpful, gave us tips on where to go, and arranged a taxi for us one day when we wanted to visit the mountains on the other side of the valley.

Super Cute and clean, very center of old town. Owner is very accommodating. Third time we stayed here in Sept 2021 still super. But this time the bar was noisier than before, it’s a shame. 2nd time we stayed here. ❤️ Tiny boutique Hotel is excellent. I would suggest to get your own breakfast or coffee in the morning, so you can have more options.

Awesome place in the middle of the old city in Gjirokastra. Attentive staff, clean and fresh rooms and perfect location. I would definitely stay here again!
