Guest Reviews

• Thomas (8/5): Tolle Location. - Es war eine sehr gute Lage.
• Dominique (9/5): - L'emplacement, la gentillesse de l'hôtesse toujours prête à rendre service. J'ai d'ailleurs pu bénéficier d'une chambre plus grande que prévu, sans surcoût.
• Geoffrey (9/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): - Super místo, ochotná provozovatelka, parádní snídaně 30% poplatek při platbě kartou a možnost parkování v nabídce, která nakonec nebyla, ale auto lze nechat asi 10 minut chůze od ubytování
• Alejandra (10/5): Great option to stay in Gjirokaster. I totally recommend it - Great location, cozy rooms, confortable bed and delicious breakfast!!
• Dieter (7/5): -
• Yuk Ming (9/5): -
• Jacquinot (10/5): Parfait - Tout, l’emplacement (à côté de tout à Gjirokaster), la vue sur tous les sites de la ville, Eda et son accueil, le petit dej. Rien
• Dagmar (8/5): - Die Betten waren super bequem! Sehr gutes Frühstück mit Saft, Rührei und Würstchen. Es war nachts etwas laut, weil die Strasse daran vorbei führt.
• Constance (10/5): Definitley my favorite stay so far in Gjirokastra - The location was excellent, the staff were so kind, the breakfast was amazing and so filling. I would stay again any day.
• Dermot (9/5): Great spot - Great location. Very clean, comfortable and quiet room. Great staff. Very good breakfast.
• Afsaneh (6/5): Konumu bakımından tavsiye edilir,aile işletmesi,yardımsever ve sıcak kanlı idiller. - Kahvaltı miktar olarak yeterli idi.İki çeşit peynir servis edildi,lezzetliydi. Siyah çay yerine ıhlamur çayı servis edildi,ılık idi.Kahve ise granür kahveydi.Odalar çok küçük,iki kişinin rahat hareket etmesi çok zordu.Dolayısıyla WC ve banyo da kutu gibiydi.
• Dominique (9/5): - Petit déjeuner copieux
• Ludovic (9/5): - Bon rapport qualité prix, bien situé, petite chambre mais pratique. Bon pt dej, personnel sympa
• Vicente (6/5): Estancia agradable y personal sobresaliente - El desayuno era muy abundante y estaba buenísimo. El personal era muy agradable y te ayudaban en todo lo necesario. La habitación era muy pequeña y el baño casi diminuto.
• Delwyn (10/5): Lovely guesthouse with great breskfast - Lovely staff, fantastic breakfast, close to main restaurants and shops, easy walk to Castle, great views The streets are VERY steep, I walked up from where the bus dropped me at the roundabout near the sportsground, not knowing how steep it was, and i nearly died. I definitely recommend getting a taxi, should cost about €5-7 but worth it. Also if you want anything from the supermarket (wine/beer), there is a good supermarket near the roundabout at the bottom. Buy from there before heading up because there is no decent supermarket at the top.
• JOSE (8/5): Adoramos a tranquilidade e centralidade do alojamento. - Quarto espaçoso, camas confortáveis, localização privilegiada no centro do Castelo o que nos permitiu estar próximos dos pontos turísticos mais importantes. Pequeno almoço grande e variado. Casa de banho a necessitar de pequenos arranjos. Pouca Luz. Situação que não prejudicou em nada a nossa estadia.
• Jane (10/5): - This was our 3rd time here and never fails to give us joy. Na
• Selene (8/5): - Relación calidad - precio. La cama es cómoda y la habitación es sencilla pero está bien. La pareja que lo lleva era muy simpáticos. La ubicación es buena pero inaccesible en coche. Indicaciones más claras de cómo llegar y de que meter el coche en la ciudad antigua no es buena idea se habrían agradecido. El desayuno era demasiado y habríamos agradecido quizás el poder elegir lo que tomar con antelación en lugar de que nos sacaran tantas cosas que acabamos por no tocar.
• Ne (7/5): Super Lage um -
• Jane (10/5): Best place to stay in Gjirokastër - Friendly owner, central position, great breakfast! N/a
• Kate (10/5): Wonderful location, spacious rooms and very clean. - Excellent location, clean and spacious.
• CARLOS (7/5): Correcto, sin más. - La ubicación.. próximo al Castillo y al Bazar..excelente. Habitación individual donde el baño coincide la ducha con el closet, siendo minúsculo el espacio.
• Natalia (9/5): -
• Carlos (10/5): Muy agradable - Un pequeño hotel bien ubicado, cerca del bazar y en camino a la fortaleza. Buena atención de sus dueños, confortable y con un rico desayuno casero. Me cobraron un importe en concepto de tax municipal, que según la reserva de Booking ya estaba incluido.
• Lucas (10/5): Un bel hôtel pour découvrir la ville - Situé dans une des villas classé au patrimoine de l'Unesco, cet hôtel vaut le coup d'être réservé pour découvrir la ville sans voiture. La litterie est tres bonne. Les chambres bien décorées et la localisation suffisamment écarte de l'animation tout en restant tres central. Le petit déjeuner est impeccable (Fruit frais, beignet, oeuf,...). Les propriétaires ont su nous expliquer comment accéder a l'hôtel sans encombres (Beaucoup de route piétonne en centre ville). Possibilité de se garer juste devant mais places limités (3 voitures). Dommage qu'au petit dej les confitures et miel ne soit pas artisanales.
• Roger (9/5): The perfect spot. - The location was excellent with a short walk to the bizaar and castle. Tha staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate our parking. The breakfast was amazing. Could hope for a more perfect stay. Thank you.
• Jo (8/5): Great little guest house location for the bazaar and the castle. - Perfect location close to the bazaar and castle but not right in it. We had a kettle in our room for the first time on our trip around Albania. We had to pay extra for the parking but that’s because we chose to stay in the old town.
• GIUSEPPE (9/5): ci tornerei - l'ambiente in se stesso le scale .....ma la cultura e la geografia sono importanti
• Marina (8/5): I liked the location, staff was very kind and friendly, tasty breakfast, good for a short visit - Great location, nice staff, tasty breakfast The shower is small in the single room, if you are big enough it won’t be comfortable to move
• Camille (10/5): - Très bel hotel, avec vue sur le château. Très bien situé, a proximité du centre, des boutiques et des restaurants. Personnel très sympathique, a l'écoute et disponible. Nous recommandons. Les routes sur le GPS n'ont pas été mise a jour depuis 2016. Il est donc très difficile d'accéder a l'hôtel en voiture. Cependant, un parking souterrain est disponible a quelques minutes a pied.
• Bernard (7/5): - l'accueil et la présence du personnel la proximité avec le centre de l'ancienne ville et la forteresse chambres un peu petites
• Sven (9/5): Recommended. - Very well located. 5 mins walk from main street and stairs to go to castle. Very modern but traditional from the outside. Owner helped us with parking. Good bfast ! Mattress too hard.
• Antoine (8/5): Parfait - Les gérants sont adorables, le petit déjeuner était très copieux et très bon. La literie très bonne. Pour une première nuit en Albanie c’était vraiment l’idéal :) Une place de parking nous a même était gardé ce qui nous a éviter de chercher à se garer dans la ville qui est pentue et quand on a pas l’habitude ce n’est pas simple, X
• Alain (9/5): - Grande maison dans le centre historique avec des chambres modernisées confortables. Personnel attentif. On sent le souhait que tout se passe au mieux pour vous. Emplacement parfait pour visiter à pied la ville, du bazar à la citadelle en passant par les maisons tours Il manque de quoi mettre les serviettes de toilette à sécher.
• Héloïse (8/5): -
• Manon (7/5): - L’emplacement de ce logement est idéal. Le petit déjeuner manque de diversité et de produits frais.
• Armand (7/5): a cosy b&b with friendly staff - Bazar around the corner 4 min. walk, castle 15min. Breakfast missing yoghurt with cereals ( may be on request ) but bread, marmalade, honey, cheese, egg, feta, olives and watermelon available.
• Lori (10/5): -
• Lori (10/5): -
• Kim (7/5): - Great location and view. The room is a bit humid and could benefit some renovation. A bit pricy.
• Ryszard (6/5): -
• Denis (10/5): I would recommend to stay here during your visit to Gjirokaster - Breakfast was very good. Location is superb to explore in foot.
• Maurizio (8/5): Un tuffo nel medioevo ma con i confort de ventesimo secolo - Riservano un parcheggio proprio davanti alla struttura. Piccola ma con tutto il necessario per soggiornare un paio di notti per visitare la località. Staff super gentile e disponibile. Possibilità di pranzare e cenare nel ristorante della struttura. Posizione ottima per visitare la città “antica” In realtà nulla, forse l’unica nota è che la camera a noi assegnata era un po’ “calda” per il periodo e l’aria condizionata è posizionata proprio sui letti. Però la vista, la posizione ed il rapporto qualità prezzo ripagano di tutto egregiamente
• Beha (10/5): -
• Nino (10/5): -
• Muriel (10/5): - Très bon emplacement tout pres du old bazar et du château Bon petit dejeuner Accueil souriant
• Quentin (8/5): - Emplacement parfait , petit dej parfait
• Leo (10/5): -
• D. (10/5): Exceptional - The last day we could not attend breakfast because we were to leave early. When we got into the car to leave, we unexpectedly received a breakfast package for the road. Thank you very much for that!
• Elena (9/5): Lovely place - Good location, a few steps from the Old Bazaar, but far enough from the noise. Room looks freshly renovated. Amazing breakfast, served individually. Omelette, sausage, cheese, bread, cake, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, water melon, coffee, tea, juice. The family puts heart into service. It broke my heart to see how one of the visitors just came had a juice and left. She could have told in advance that she eats halal and wouldn’t eat anything. So much food into garbage. Be careful if you come by car: if GPS brings you from down the street up the hill do not do sharp u-turn, most likely you won’t manage to do it. I watched quite a few attempts, if you are not local, you will damage your car. Instead drive a but straight and then back up to park next to the hotel or ask a young man there for help: he receives visitors and is very helpful. If I want to be picky: the bathroom is very small, though I read about it and it wasn’t a surprise to me. Also, there is no shower door, so no matter how careful I was, the water still spilled on the floor
• Mirko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Boris (9/5): Enjoyable stay with a lovely staff - Friendly and helpful staff, great location in Old Town, double room was spacious, breakfast was filling, assistance with car parking was much appreciated The shower in a single room was cramped
• Aida (9/5): Wonderful stay in Gjirokastër! Excellent value for money -
• Sarasejati (10/5): Tradition meets comfort - The room beautifully combines traditional charm with modern comfort. It was exceptionally clean and cozy. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Old Bazaar. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was delicious, generous, and a great start to the day.
• Marsel (10/5): Exceptional - Dhoma e rehatshme dhe e pastër – Dhomat janë të pajisura me kujdes, me shtratë shumë të rehatshëm dhe dekor tradicional që i përshtatet karakterit të qytetit. Mëngjesi i shijshëm – Mëngjesi ishte i freskët dhe i shijshëm, me produkte lokale dhe ëmbëlsira tradicionale. Një fillim i përkryer për ditën! Pritja e ngrohtë – Pronarët janë super miqësorë dhe shumë të përfshirë, duke na dhënë këshilla të dobishme për vizitat në Gjirokastër. Qetësia dhe pamjet – Gjendet në një vend të qetë, larg zhurmës, por shumë afër qendrës historike. Pamjet nga ballkoni janë magjepëse! **** Pa dyshim, do të rekomandoja Bed and Breakfast Kotoni** për këdo që dëshiron të përjetojë autenticitetin dhe mikpritjen e Gjirokastrës. Do të kthehemi patjetër 😊😊😊
• Christina (9/5): Superb - This bed and breakfast is in a very good location within walking distance from the castle and bazaar with a nice view from the windows. Google maps wasn't very helpful in helping us reach the location and the map provided was difficult to follow however the hosts saved us parking just near the location which was ideal.
• Titoiu (7/5): Good -
• Roxanne (9/5): Superb - Our stay at B&B Kotoni was really good. The map provided to access the property upon arrival to Gjirokaster was a little confusing however once we located the property we had a great stay.
• Vinícius (9/5): Good stay! - Comfortable, very good bed and shower. Perfect location, right next to the bazaar. We could park right in front but there aren’t a lot of spots so not sure where we would park if the two places in front of the hotel were taken. Breakfast is good. Staff very friendly. Shower will eventually wet the bathroom floor and toilet (small glass division to contain water). Breakfast was good but lots of industrial things, could be more natural, not close to the bed towns we had in our trip. Somewhat difficult to get to the hotel even with hotel instructions (that could be clearer), since Google maps won’t work accordingly. Room will get daylight early.
• Neal (8/5): Stay hete - The people were friendly. The location was good. For an expensive old town the price was reasonable. The bathroom was 'compact'.ie tiny!
• Steve (10/5): Family run property with hosts who have real pride in what they do. 100% looked after. Highly recommend - This was a great little find. Family run property just five minutes from the bazaar and castle. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts spoke wonderful English and were very keen to offer information about the town. If you are offered a glass of raki, accept it as it’s homemade and super smooth! Nohing
• Susan (10/5): Clean, great location, good value. - Great location near the old town but nice and quiet with lovely views. Spotlessly clean. Helpful friendly staff. Good breakfast included in the price. Beautiful walks nearby.
• Iris (9/5): Superb -
• Tomaž (8/5): Very good - Breakfast Extremely small bathroom
• Vladimir (9/5): Superb -

• Sean (9/5): Great location and friendly staff - Good location up on the hill, close to all sites and restaurants. Room had a nice view and we were able to park right out front on the street. Staff were friendly and helpful! Breakfast was good, would stay again.
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional - Such a sweet place with the nicest, informative hosts: Ergis and his mom Era made our stay so special. Plenty of hot water. Great breakfast. We walked to castle and bridge. Such a delightful stay!

• Oliver (10/5): Perfect stay - Perfect location, friendly and helpful service and really comfortable stay. Nothing
• Jacob (8/5): Very good - We had a very nice stay in Gjirokastër at Kotoni. The appartment is close to the public parking garage and very close to everything you need to visit in the city. We had a good welcome from a guy who was very interested. The room was also good. A comfortable bed, a very(!) good shower and a nice view on the castle.
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bora (10/5): Exceptional - Friendliest staff we ever encountered. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
• Laurel (9/5): Superb -
• Steven (8/5): Very good - VERY friendly and helpful folks. Right in the middle of all the stuff you want to do. Fabulous free breakfast. Have patience trying to get to this place by car. Because it is right in the heart of the old city, it has great atmosphere and convenience, but streets are narrow and hard to negotiate.

Perfect. - The location of the guesthouse is perfect, a beautiful view from the front… right on the edge of the old town. The breakfast was truly wonderful, with fresh fruits, cake, traditional fritters and eggs cooked for you on your arrival to the dining room. Every care is taken to ensure you enjoy your stay here. Everything was fine.
• Ruth (9/5): Superb - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Building is historic and within walking distance of main sights. Great breakfast included in the price. Lovely restaurant next door also run by the owners for an evening meal. You can leave your luggage in reception after checkout if you want to continue exploring. The room was tiny with an even smaller bathroom. It was a little cramped but perfectly adequate.
