Guest Reviews

• Jorge Augusto (10/5): -
• Ndrinë (10/5): Better than perfect. - The location was perfect. We hade an amazing view of the old town streets, it exceeded our expectations. The room was perfect, the bed was huuuge, it was very nice and comfy. The parking spot was an amazing bonus ! I think this room has the best spot of all of Gjirokaster and I would come back for sure. The only thing that was hard was to get to the hotel since a few roads were closed for cars and google maps didn't do a good job at warning us... But that is not Grey Stones fault.
• Tynette (10/5): -
• Kévin (10/5): Parfait !! - Nous avons passé 1 nuit dans cette chambre. La propreté, lit, la salle de bain, l’ensemble est vraiment top. L’emplacement est parfait. La place de parking juste devant la chambre est un vrai plus. La gentillesse des hôtes qui sont venus nous récupérer après que Google maps nous ait mal indiqué. Je recommande vivement !!
• Daniel (10/5): Zentrale Lage - Ein super netter Besitzer der stolz auf Zimmer und die Bar sein kann. Super liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Ein Parkplatz ist direkt vorm Zimmer und bei Fragen ist er immer erreichbar. Die Lage ist perfekt. Direkt an der Treppe zur Burg und in der Innenstadt.
• Shkelzen (7/5): -
• Shane (9/5): Authentic feel with a location that can’t be beaten. - Incredible location - couldn’t be better. Incredible staff, the host made sure everything we needed was accommodated. Bathroom was slightly small, but manageable and modern.
• Meynda (10/5): Great location, beautifully renovated property. Rooms are beautiful. - Awesome location, easy access to the castle and at the top of the old town. Having a parking space right at the front door was ideal as parking can be really difficult. The host Geni was fantastic. Will recommend to friends. Bathroom was a little tight but had some great features like a heated towel rack.
• PUI WA (10/5): Helpful Host, Great Location, Perfect Room - Geni is an excellent host. We are so lucky to have him. He kindly offered to pick up service when we arrived Gjirokastra. When ww check out with 2 large luggags, he helped us to call the taxi to go the bus station. He is very very very helpful. The hotel is in a great location with restaurants and shops nearby, the stairs up to the Castle are right across from the room. Even the room is on the bustling area, but still quiet. I would love to visit Geni again. Everything is perfect 👍🏻
• Langedijk (8/5): -
• sharan (8/5): - Great location, comfy bed and great to have car park by your door step. The bathroom was new, but the design meant, after a shower then whole bathroom floor was wet. Maybe a a dryer to wipe the floor clean would be beneficial. Also the hot water ran out after my partner had a shower. Not end of the world.
• Alba (10/5): Super kind and welcoming owner! Helped us drive up to the property. We loved our stay, thank you Geni! -
• elena (8/5): -
• Katalin (8/5): - Zum Ausgehen eine gute Lage mitten im Zentrum, man sieht, dass die Hinweise vorheriger Gäste beachtet wurden! Leider ist die Anfahrt etwas schwierig. Es muss in eine Strasse gegen die Fahrtrichtung eingebogen werden, das ist etwas verwirrend.
• Ester (10/5): -
• Johana (10/5): -
• cindy (10/5): Fantastisch - Ligging Douche iets minder
• Dimitris (8/5): Good stay - Good location - Near the center Good value for money Provided towels There is parking just outside the room Owner is friendly and has a bar nearby It has a fridge and also provided us with bottles of water The shower does not have a door and water splashes into the rest of the bathroom making the floor wet. We suggest adding a shower curtain or glass panel It would be more convenient if there was a bin near the fridge and a mirror near the bed, not only in the bathroom
• Patrick (9/5): - Geni ist ein zuvorkommender, aufmerksamer und äußerst liebenswerter Gastgeber. Die Lage ist genial, man ist direkt am Anfang des Trubels, aber dennoch ruhig. Ebenfalls zur Burg ist es nur ein Katzensprung
• row (10/5): Perfect room with parking just a few steps from the bazaar - Location
• Jose (10/5): - Grey Stone is the accommodation in Gjirokastër that's worth every penny. It couldn't be better located, right in the center. Geni's friendliness and helpfulness. His bar is really cool for a drink. Thank you very much.
• Joris (9/5): -
• Erik (10/5): - Geni de eigenaar is geweldig. Niets was te moeilijk. Bij prachtige kamer konden we even de auto nog niet parkeren, omdat er nog andere auto stond. Terwijl we bij hem drankje dronken, vroeg hij de autosleutel en zette onze auto op de plek. Top service 😀. Verder perfect verblijf in het centrum. Helemaal niets
• Sue (10/5): Excellent choice for Gjirokaster - Newly refurbished room right in the centre of Gjirokaster. Parking on site. Friendly host, great location. Nothing
• LAIA (9/5): -
• Aline (9/5): -
• Jara (9/5): - Sfeervolle kamer, midden in het historische centrum met een eigen parkeerplaats. De host is zeer vriendelijk. Maps had ons door de smalle straatjes gestuurd waar je niet in mag. Ik zou aanraden om de navigatie op het kasteel te zetten van Gjirokaster.
• oscar (10/5): - Ubicación estratégica al comienzo de la subida al castillo y justo detrás del bazar. Habitaciones nuevas y arregladas. El plus, poder aparcar en la puerta de la habitación y el dueño, pendiente de que tu estancia sea buena. Todo fue perfecto
• Rrezarta (9/5): It was a good stay, very nice host and felt really safe and comfortable. - The property was in the heart of the center which was very convenient, plus had a free parking space secured. Being in the heart of the center in the middle of the season comes with noises of people and cars until late at night. That was the only negative thing, but honestly it was very much expected, so it’s not a negative but more of something to be aware of.
• Mark (10/5): - Nice room in a Fantastic location, right on the bazaar/castle steps. Super friendly and helpful host. parking right outside the room. Worth noting the drive up there is no joke, but worth it tbh once you’re up there
• José Carlos (10/5): Sorpresa muy positiva. - Habitación muy bonita, limpia, cerca de todo y con mucho ambiente a su alrededor.
• Daniele (8/5): Posto perfetto per un weekend - Camera in pieno centro, minimale ma con tutti i comfort. Bagno piccolo e doccia ancora di più. Non si può chiudere quindi, nel lavarsi, si bagna tutto.
• Devon (10/5): Excellent room in an amazing location - Modern, clean and comfortable room in an incredible location. The car space was very handy and Geni was helpful, welcoming and friendly. It is worth noting that the bathroom and shower are very small, but you know what you are booking with this place. It’s still amazing value and I would stay here again.
• Barbara (9/5): Szuper szállás a bazár sorban! - A szállásadó nagyon kedves és segítőkész! A szállás tiszta, rendezett. A kilátás és elhelyezkedés tökéletes. Pároknak megszállni kiváló! Wifi van. A hűtő picike de elég 1-2 napos utazóknak. A fagyasztó része nem volt olyan szuper. Én hiányoltam egy tálcán pár poharat és 1-2 evőeszközt hozzá esetleg vizet lehetne kitenni a meleg miatt.😊
• Yvette (9/5): Perfecte locatie - Locatie is meer dan top en de gastheer ook. Fijne accommodatie midden in het centrum. Auto kan je parkeren aan de B&B. De douche was niet heel netjes maar dit viel mee
• Alessandra (10/5): - Camera pulita e comodissima per visitare Argirocastro. Un plus il parcheggio privato fuori dalla camera, utile per chi viaggia in macchina. Consiglio vivamente!
• Adrien (9/5): -
• Pablo (8/5): Buena opción en el centro. - Muy cómodo para visitar Gjirokaster, porque está en pleno corazón y permite aparcar en la misma puerta. El dueño, súper amable, pone todas las facilidades posibles. Lo bueno de ser tan céntrico también es su punto negativo, por el evidente ruido. También la cama hace algo de ruido al moverte y el baño es bastante pequeño.
• Leila (10/5): Je recommande à 300% - L’accueil, chambre propre, propriétaire adorable !!
• Klajdi (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding stay, beyond expectations. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The location is excellent — right in the historic center of the city, perfect for exploring everything on foot. Another big plus: free private parking, which is rare and very convenient. Highly recommended!
• Kar (7/5): Location in the heart of the centre - The owner is attentive. He sent a map link with the exact location of the place. The parking in front of the apartment is very convenient. The location is in the heart of the city / bazaar and just down the castle. The bathroom is very small. The bed is a bit cracky and shaky. Until midnight there is noise from the bars and restaurants and the cars driving by.
• Marcelle (10/5): Wonderful - Great Reception! Geni received us with all the attention, nice and helpful. Room is cozy and bed is very comfortable. Great location, next to the bazaar and close to the Castle. I had problem with the car and he helped like a friend in the whole process of resolution. Thanks Geni for everything!
• Greta (8/5): Very good - Location, interior design, friendly staff. Shower was clocking and it was very small.
• Carole (10/5): Great place to stay in the centre of Gjirokastër - The room is beautiful, clean and SO central, literally minutes away from the castle and right above a bar on one of the main streets (it was still quiet at night though) ! It was great being able to park right in front of our door. The owner is very friendly.
• Nikos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristi (8/5): Very good -
• Elena (10/5): Cozy appartment with excellent location and owner - Very Cozy apartment. In the very center but out of the busy area, the owner was very friendly and helpfull, sharing information and stories, nice to get involved with Albanese culture
• Jeroen (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, cozy and clean room and Geni is a very nice and friendly host. Bathroom/shower was a bit tight, but the restroom overall was nice.
• Desara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pawel (10/5): Superb Mega super contact with the owner Graleat place spectacular location - Nie jedliśmy
• Alban (9/5): Cute rooms right at the heart of old town - Located at the heart of old town. Newly renovated rooms Very easy access from new Gjirokastra bypass (passing behind the castle) No reception. The phone provided by booking didn’t work. The owner said he had changed it recently. We could contact him only by the neighbours bar.
• Argyrion (10/5): We couldn’t have asked for a better experience ! - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful room. It was very clean and comfortable. The location is incredible, right in the heart of the old town, so you can easily enjoy everything, from bars and restaurants to shops. One of the best features is the parking, conveniently right outside the door and monitored by cameras for extra security. The staff were incredibly helpful, warm, and welcoming, embodying the genuine hospitality that people of Gjirokastër are known for.
• Jegeni (10/5): Exceptional - The location was fantastic, you are right in the heart of the old bazaar and everything is close, you have Parking which is a big plus that you can hardly find in other B&Bs. The host (Galo) was wonderful and welcomed us very warmly, everything inside the room was very well thought and made us feel at home.
• Louisa (10/5): Absolutely great! - The location was great and the staff were too! Very friendly and helpful. Nothing.
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matilda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andy (10/5): Fantastic place in a great spot. Loved it. - Great little apartment in a great location. We throughly enjoyed our stay here and wished we’d stayed longer. Gena (sp??) the host was fantastic and very helpful with everything. Shower is open so bathroom will get wet. Not an issue for us.
• Nak98 (9/5): Superb - The location was amazing in the centre of the old town and close to the Bazaar and Castle (entrance is outside the door). Even though the room is above the bar, the noise was negligible. The owner went out of his way to look after us during our stay. We couldn't have stayed in a better area.
• Ian (10/5): Modern medieval and really fitting Gjirokaster - The room is really nice, it really fits in the theme of Gjirokaster. When you enter you feel like you’re in the modern version of an medieval house. Everything is on point. The host is really nice and helpful and has some good tips for the village. We really enjoyed our stay. + it has a private parking spot
• Orsola (8/5): Very good -
• Carriiin (10/5): The perfect accommodation to explore Gjirokaster - Incredible location to explore the castle, bazaar, restaurants and bars. The room itself is very comfortable, the best AC we've had in Albania. Geni was super friendly, his bar downstairs is super cool. Great place to have a drink after dinner and people watch. There's nothing I didn't like. However if you're a bigger person, you might struggle in the shower.
• Eoghan (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Beautifully furnished. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic place to stay in Gjirokaster. Right in the heart of the old town.
• Lene (7/5): Good - Close to the old bizar and the castle Really nice staff. Good Parkingarea. You can here noice from the bazar / streets / bars - thats was bad. And the curtains were of no use, Black curtains would be good, to keep the sunlight out.
• Carmen (10/5): Exceptional - Newly renovated appartment, which was very comfortable and nice. The location is just incredible at the entrance of the bauar and at the foot of the castle. Big plus is also the parking, that‘s available at the property Breakfast would have been nice, since this is a bit more difficult to get somewhere else, but otherwise it‘s all perfect
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emma (10/5): Great spot - Very modern, new and clean. Big, comfortable bed and good curtains. Very nice room and the best thing is the parking right outside the door. Check in was also quick and easy and the location was great, very central. Would definitely recommend staying here. I found the shower towels to be quite small but that’s the only flaw I could find.
• Vadim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Audrey (8/5): Amazing location, great value for money - Location is amazing, right in the heart of Gjirokaster, next to amazing restaurants, close to the castle Room is really charming and the bed is really large and comfortable (and super clean) Parking spot right in front of the room Owners are just adorable and super available - they even helped us to park our car as it can be a bit tricky in Gjirokaster Great value for money The room doesn’t have any curtain so you will be up as soon as the sun is up Phonic isolation is not the best - you can hear everything from the restaurants nearby The bathroom can get a little messy, as it is very small when you shower you kind of put water everywhere ahah but that’s still manageable
• Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Filipwwww (10/5): Exceptional - Super helpful host. Beautiful and almost new apartment in the old town of Gijrokastra. Free parking available.
• Lorraine (10/5): Excellent! - Super comfortable beds; very clean; perfect location; friendly owner. Nothing.
• Kouvertari (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place and amazing staff
• Abboud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christian (10/5): Exceptional - Great accomodation and great host! Can only recommend it. Dedicated parking spot is a plus.
• Ondřej (7/5): Good - Great location very close to all main points in the city. Reserved parking spot right in front of the door. Friendly owner. Four single beds. There was terrible cold in the room, they could it prepare and turn on the heater in advance. It took some time to heat the room. In fact it was not really possible to heat it even during whole night. The windows did not seal very well, they could not be closed completely.
• Armando (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, dedicated parking
• Stefanie (9/5): Nice accommodation - The owner was nice. The location was central and we loved the closeness to the Bazar street. The parking infront of the place was very narrow. However the owner helped us to park. On the second night another car blocked the Spot which is a nuisance as it is very difficult to find parking close by.
• Kristina (9/5): Superb -
• Koci (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marije (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location and very friendly host!
• Andi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bledi_ (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marilda (9/5): Superb -
• Janaki (8/5): Very good -
• Sheila1021 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olta (9/5): Superb -
• Qendro (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location near the best places to visit. Clean, with all amenities (AC, Fridge, parking spot). Very comfortable beds, spacious room. Owner was extremely nice and helpful. Also owned a great coffee spot. Excellent price/quality ratio.
• Anne (9/5): Great location & nice host - Perfectly located, comfortable beds, great for a group of friends / a family. The host is incredibly nice and helpful, would definitely recommend staying at his place!
• Vasileios (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alecia (8/5): Great location and kind host! - The location here is amazing, you simply can’t get better! Perfect for a family of 4 with comfortable beds and a nice airy space with aircon if you need it. Also a private car parking space just outside the front door which is very helpful when you’re in the bazaar. The owner is very helpful, even got our daughter’s sandal stitched when it broke. Bathroom is fine, nothing fancy, just a small thing, but it could do with a shelf to put your toiletries.
• Agron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gentiana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ori (5/5): Passable - I gave it a 5 only for the unbeatable location right in the middle of the bazaar, a few steps from the castle, the bazzar shops and some very good restaurants. You can't get any better than that. The shower is not really a shower. It's a very thin drizzle of water. I couldn't even wash the shampoo out of my hair because of it. Tiles in the shower were broken, and there was no curtain so every time we showered the toilet seat got wet. The toilet had a very bad sewage smell. The beds were not comfortable at all. The double was too stiff, while the twins way to soft. It felt like the mattresses have seen better days. We only got 3 blankets although there are 4 beds. The TV and fridge had only 1 socket so you had to choose if you want a TV or a fridge. And finally, the place is extremely hard to be reached with a car since all the navigation apps take you through unpassable ways. That's of course not the owner's fault, but they could have left better instructions, or provide better help when we called them when we got list in the streets. This could have been an amazing place to stay, it just needs some attention and maintenance.
• Reni (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edison (10/5): Exceptional - the facilities are great near the castle
• Genci (9/5): Superb - The location was excellent, the owner very friendly and helpful
• Haxhi (10/5): Highly recommended! - Perfect location , good price and big size of the room!
