Guest Reviews

• M. (8/5): Séjour très agréable - Hôte très gentil Chambre petite mais confortable Emplacement très bien Savoir qu’il y a des marches à monter pour arriver à la chambre mais toute la ville est en dénivelé
• Nora (8/5): -
• sonela (10/5): - My stay at this hotel was very pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and always ready to help. The location was ideal and everything was well organized. I would definitely recommend it! ⭐

• Armela (10/5): Splendid location! - Splendid location!
• Anna Maria Z (10/5): - Everything was perfect! The place was very clean, the service was amazing, and the location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, with all tourist attractions just a short walk away. The food was absolutely fantastic!

• Igli (10/5): -
• Anila (8/5): - Excellent location near the parking and in historic center. Very good breakfast and the lady cooked excellent really traditional petulla (Albanian pancakes) No lift, but other pluses compared to other hotels, which are expensive for what they offer
• Ernesto (8/5): -
• Αθηνά (9/5): - Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία το δωμάτιο πάρα πολύ καθαρό, το πρωινό ήτανε πλούσιο , ευχαρίστως θα το προτιμούσα με ξανά
• Mentor (9/5): - Es ist mitten im Zentrum, man befindet sich direkt beim Bazar. Das Zimmer war gut, sobald Koffer da rumliegen wird es etwas eng. Das Badezimmer ist renoviert und sieht gut aus. Im Hotel gibt es ein älteres Paar, sie waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Dieses Hotel würde ich auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Ein Parkhaus befindet sich grad beim Hotel und ist sehr günstig. Habe für knapp 12h 4 Euro bezahlt. Unser Zimmer war im 4. OG, was etwas schwierig ist mit schweren Koffer hochzugehen.

• Jorge (10/5): Really friendly staff - The staff was really nice. Our flight got cancelled, we arrived 4h later and they let us rest for a few hours longer. Breakfast was also nice and the location is perfect, just in the city center. Everything was great. Just to note, there are stairs to go to the rooms, I do not think there is an elevator as an alternative for people who could not take the stairs.
• Albania (10/5): Exceptional -
• Иван (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
• Christine (8/5): Great location. Lovely hosts. - The owners are absolutely lovely! And the breakfast was outstanding! The bed could have been a bit more comfy that that said, it was not bad at all. A couple of the steps leading up to my room were broken so I felt a bit unsteady but maybe that was all in my head because I was fine.
• Natasha (8/5): Very good - The host is LOVELY, so nice and helpful- a really lovely man. The location is great-super central.

• Laura (6/5): Pleasant - Really nice view to the castle. Good location in the middle of old town. You can' t pay with credit card, only cash. Staff doesn't speak english. Room was a bit worn out. Bathroom was really small.
• Manoj (9/5): One of the best family hotel and restaurant in Albania, Best food - Best view, helpful staff and nice breakfast, Sofra restaurant is one of the best in Albania, they have many local food options that you can try, lovely staff, best family hotel and restaurant, near from paid parking No lift, have to use stairs ....but worth it as you can see the best view from top
• Prateek (5/5): I would like people to go and try hoping contruction has finished and room improved - what i like is the staff. The owner and staff were very good despite this being average Property but the Breakfast was awessome and people were hospitable so i will recommend people to visit them for good experience of albanian people not for the room as that need some improvement The room was on 3rd floor without any lift and construction is going on in front of the hotel so it is very different from photo displayed in Booking .com The bathroom is leaking at all places and most of support handle were broken
• Frabastavet (10/5): Exceptional - Spotless clean, very nice host and lovely food options for dinner and lunch. Amazing breakfast. Perfect location. Free public carpark just few metres away. Highly recommended
• Henrique (7/5): Good - Breakfast was confused , need to order from the menu but only a 1 or 2 things , and only 1 coffee to drink, they charged us extra money (2€) for an extra coffee .
• Dritan (6/5): Pleasant - The location was perfect, near the castle and many trendy bars. The staff changed our room without informing us, it was just a 2 euro difference but they should've informed us. The breakfast was normal, for a city like Gjirokastra i expected more. We wanted to check out a lil later but the lady/owner told us we had to check out at 09:00 Not very customer friendly.
• Matthew (10/5): I’d stay there again - everything was perfect. it was a bit of a walk to the bus station the morning after is all
• David (9/5): Rooms in an apartment block with great location - Location great. Beautiful view from the room an balcony. Friendly family run business. Breakfast was variable. Second day absence of fruit, bread and jam which we had on the first day
