Guest Reviews
- Adèle (10/5): - Le logement est très bien situé. Très bon accueil avec un jus de fruit et petit déjeuner exceptionnel sur la terrasse avec vue sur la citadelle.
- Aurelie (9/5): Lieu incroyable - Lieu magnifique! La propriétaire envoie un mail la veille pour indiquer le chemin pas par pas pour aller au gîte. Parfait! Il y a des places pour se garer le long de l’impasse. La chambre est spacieuse avec petit frigo et SDB. Sorte de petit appartement en rez de jardin privatif! Collation à notre arrivée! . Petit déjeuner sur la terrasse avec une vue incroyable! À 5min à pied du château et 5 min de l’extrême centre ville! Parfait! Merci pour ce séjour! Peut être rajouter une petite lampe de chevet sur la table de nuit sinon tout est parfakt

- Liliana Criollo (10/5): Gentillesse, parfaite chambre pour le prix. - Excelente petit déjeuner avec des fruits frais, et albanais .
Très gentille personne, ma copine a oublié des affaires a elle et Bruna , a fait le nécessaire pour lui envoyer a Tirane la chambre était grand, le petit déjeuner ou jardin aec vu sur le château ,on aurait voulu rester plus longtemps. Mille merci Rien
- Lidy (9/5): Mooi plekje met uitzicht op kssteel - Ruime kamer, goed bed. Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het terrasje. Daar kun je ook ontbijten (Albanees). Parkeren bij het guesthouse.
Bazaar met restaurantjes en terrasjes zit op loop/ klimafstand, evenals kasteel, musea en Ottomaanse huizen. Vereiste in dit stadje is wel dat je goed ter been bent. Geldt ook voor ingang guesthouse. Heel steile oprit, opgang. Ondanks dat we gewaarschuwd waren én nog een routebeschrijving van eigenaresse was het rijden door het stadje om er te komen.een drama. Eenmaal daar moet je vooral niet meer met de auto weg willen tot vertrek 😉
Is ook niet nodig overigens want alles is te lopen.
Douche is met douchegordijn en daardoor staat hele ruimte blank na een goede douche. Dus onhandig.
Ook misten we in de kamer bedlampjes. Er is alleen groot licht.
Tip aan eigenaar: zorg voor een hordeur naar terras!
- Sandra (10/5): - In het oude stadsdeel in een historisch pand. Prachtig uitzicht op het kasteel en de oude huizen en bergen. Bazaar en kasteel op korte loopafstand.
Heerlijk ontbijt. Het is een stijle weg om te lopen. (Maar dat us in een groot deel van het oude stadsdeel het geval).
- DIMITRIOS (10/5): - Everything was perfect
- benoit (10/5): - Très bon séjour ! Le logement était très bien très propre et très bien situé.La vue de la terrasse sur le chateau est vraiment magnifique ! Et quel plaisir de prendre le petit déjeuner sur cette terrasse, on s'est régalé ! La propriétaire est très sympathique et prête a rendre service ! Très bon logement, on recommande ! En plus il n'est pas loin du centre, 2 minutes a pied et c'est très au calme parfait pour bien dormir !
- Marina (10/5): -
- Paweł (10/5): - Przemiła gospodyni, bardzo smaczne śniadania. Pokój czysty i przestronny z klimatyzacją i wi-fi. Super lokalizacja. Genialny widok podczas jedzenia śniadania. Blisko do centrum (5 min spacerem). Dostępny parking dla samochodu. Polecam serdecznie !
- Marco (9/5): Komfortable und innenstadtnahe Unterkunft - Sowohl die Unterkunft als auch das traditionelle Frühstück sind sehr gut. Die Anfahrt geht über einige Enge und steile Straßen. Hier ist es empfehlenswert , der Anfahrtsbeschreibung der Gastgeberin zu folgen.
- Łukasz (10/5): - Wszystko było idealnie
- Eni (10/5): -
- radu-m (10/5): - Great host. Amazing view.
- Muccino (10/5): Although the drive was a little stressful, it was definitely well worth it because of the view, convienence of location, - The owner was extremely welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed after our travel to the town! Getting to the property was a little complicated, but the owner sent very helpful instructions that were easy to follow! It may be helpful to add a sign on the lamp post right before the turn onto the street for parking:)
- Julio (9/5): Buen alojamiento en Gjirokaster...si eres capaz de llegar - Amabilidad de la propietaria. Habitación muy bien acondicionada y cómoda, camas muy cómodas. Desayuno abundante, aunque al gusto Albano. Llegar al lugar es una auténtica odisea. La propietaria facilita unas instrucciones, pero si vas en coche no son suficientes, google maps no sirve en Berat por lo intrincado de las calles y te lleva a calles sin salida...
Es casi imposible tomar un café con leche al gusto europeo en Albania, la costumbre es expreso y tamaño dedal. Aquí no iba a ser diferente, aunque la propietaria hace lo que puede por agradar...
- Meike (10/5): - Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Sie kümmert sich sehr lieb um ihre Gäste. Familiäre Atmosphäre. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichhaltig, wunderschöne Aussicht auf die Burg von der Terrasse. Das Zimmer war sehr groß, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist super, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Die Anreise mit dem PKW ist mit der Beschreibung der Gastgeberin kein Problem, nur nicht Google Maps nutzen.
- Viktória (10/5): - A szoba nagyon tiszta volt és jóillatú. Nagyon finom volt a reggeli és gyönyörű a kilátás a kinti teraszról. A házigazda nagyin kedves segítőkész és mindig a legjobbat akarja adni.
- Modeshtc (10/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - Nasz najlepszy nocleg w czasie objazdówki po Albanii! Wspaniała gospodyni, pokój dobrze wyposażony i wygodny, wygodne łóżka. Dobre śniadanie na tarasie w ogrodzie. Żałujemy że mieliśmy rezerwację tylko na jedną noc.
- Aubin (10/5): Superbe vue sur le château - La terrasse avec la vue superbe sur la vieille ville et le château, la gentillesse de l'hôte, le petit déjeuner complet, la jolie chambre traditionnelle avec pierres apparentes, le petit en-cas d'accueil, etc L'accès à la guesthouse (rues étroites et pentues en voiture) mais ce n'est pas du tout la faute de la propriétaire, elle fait même son possible pour vous indiquer au mieux avec une vidéo
- Alan (10/5): - The view is insanely beautiful! Very friendly owner.
- Monique (9/5): - Magnifique situation terrasse avec vue sur le château. Chambre très grande et joliment décorée, literie confortable. Petit déjeuner gargantuesque et fait maison. Accueil très chaleureux de la propriétaire, très aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. La meilleure adresse de Gijrokaster Tout était parfait
- Marius-Cristinel (9/5): un sejur deosebit - Locatia ofera o priveliste deosebita asupra cetatii si orasului. Este o casa veche, dar renovata, care ofera tot confortul necesar. Camera este spatioasa, curata, confortabila si un design ce se incadreaza excelent cu zona. Gazda deosebit de amabila. Parcare gratuita in fata proprietatii. Este apropape de centrul orasului si de cetate. Nimic. As vrea totusi sa atrag atentia viitorilor calatori asupra faptului ca orasul este situat pe un munte. Astfel, accesul catre pensiune este putin mai dificil: pante abrupte, strazi inguste si pavate cu piatra(zona istorica/veche).
- Raquel (9/5): -
- Aleisflying (10/5): -
- Davide (10/5): - La colazione, con cocomero e abondante, la gentilissima host, il panorama
- Eva (10/5): - L'accueil chaleureux de notre hôte, accompagné de son attention toute en fraicheur 🍉, le charme fou du logement et de son environnement 🌄 et le petit-déjeuner aux 1000 saveurs 😋 Rien
- Carine (10/5): Nous avons adoré ! - Tout était parfait ! Bruna l’hôte est adorable et très serviable. La chambre est confortable et jolie. La maison est tout en haut de la ville, très belle vue sur le château. Le petit-déjeuner est copieux et très bon. Tout est préparé avec soin et servi dans le jardin. On a adoré notre étape à Gjirokaster !
- Varik (10/5): -
- Gerhard (10/5): Super nette Gastgeber, super Lage, super Unterkunft - Herzliche, hilfsbereite Gastgeber.
Fußläufig zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Schöne Sitzmöglichkeiten im Garten mit Blick auf die Burg.
Sehr authentische Unterkunft - Steinhaus-Gefühl von innen und außen.
Mega Frühstück! Schwer zu finden wenn man Google Maps vertraut. Am besten den Gastgeber kontaktieren!
- Johan (10/5): Een pareltje van verblijf in het mooie stadje Gjirokaster - Het huis met alle comfort, grootte, twee terrassen in zon en schaduw, verzorgde badkamer, airco, goede wifi, ...
De ligging, dicht bij het centrum
De gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van de uitbaters
Lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt
Mooi uitzicht op het indrukwekkend kasteel en de stad.
Echt een aanrader voor mensen die geen fan zijn van een druk hotel.
Ze zullen hun gading vinden in Arpet guesthouse. De locatie is niet gemakkelijk te vinden met Google maps, maar de vriendelijkheid van de mensen was nog maar eens een pluspunt. Bruna, de eigenares is ons komen opzoeken en meegestapt naar onze wagen waar we gestrand waren en ons gedirigeerd in de juiste richting, waar we een gratis parkingplaats kregen toegewezen.
- Patryk (10/5): Wonderful place, wonderful hosts – we truly wish we had stayed longer! - The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. When we got lost in the narrow, steep streets of the old town, one of them walked down to meet us, got into our car as a passenger, and guided us directly to the guesthouse. We were welcomed with cold water and deliciously sweet watermelon – the perfect refreshment after a long, tiring journey.
The next morning, we had an amazing breakfast with a breathtaking view of Gjirokastra and the castle – absolutely magical.
The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped – comfortable beds, fast internet, TV, and a fridge with water and local beer. The location is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a lovely garden, and the views are just stunning.
This was meant to be just a one-night stop, but honestly – we regret not spending our whole vacation here. ARPET Guesthouse is a place you’ll want to come back to.
- Lejla (10/5): Exceptional - They welcomed us with a cold watermelon.
Good breakfast, nice, kind landlady, she also made us coffee before departure.
Tidy, clean, beautiful view and garden in front of the apartment. Everything is great, we have no complaints.
- Marek (10/5): Beautiful room with great breakfast - Guesthouse with beautifully renovated and comfortable room. Family atmosphere, delicious breakfast and amazing view.
It is on top of Gjirokastër, so arriving by car is a little tricky (Google Maps ideas are partially incorrect, and there are roadworks blocking one of the roads).
- Katleen (9/5): Superb - Very friendly lady, and beautiful view.
We had a great stay.
- Jonathan (10/5): The perfect choice in Gjirokaster. Highly recommended. - Arpet Guesthouse is the best accommodation we have had during our visit to Albania. We are a family of four with two boys (11 and 14) and the room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. There are two outside seating areas, and the views of the castle, mountains and surrounding skyline are superb. Bruna is a perfect host, wonderfully hospitable and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We could not have asked for more. Nothing!
- Rafal (9/5): Superb - A great place both as a base for exploring the city and its surroundings as well as for an evening chillout with a view of the city and the surrounding castle. Tasty breakfast, comfortable beds and a large bathroom. Despite the help from the host, getting to the location causes a stream of sweat down your back if you drive your own car. Narrow and winding. Do not use Google Maps.
- Kushtrim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Han555 (9/5): Superb - Vey nice apartment!
Apartment is on a higher point of the old town of Gjirokaster and offers a great view over the old town and the city from the terrace. Apartment itself is also in the style of the old town, which gives the exotic vibe. The hosts, though not being able to speak English, are extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me do laundry and sent good breakfast to us every morning. The location is ideal as it is 10 min walk to the old bazaar, from which it is not far to the castle. The drive to the apartment is a bit challenging as it is right on the hill and the roads are small and steep. Also Google map is not really much of help here.
After showering for sometime, water might start to get less warm so it is not recommended to shower too long.
- Saher (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely room in a beautiful location. The view was absolutely stunning. The host was very welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had every we needed.
- Jana (9/5): Superb - The view was beutiful. Very pleasant owner.
- Ilias (10/5): Exceptional Stay in the Heart of the Old Town with Castle Views - The room was spacious, bright, with a stunning view of the castle, and spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. Bruna was an exceptional host and helped us a lot. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the view as well. The location is perfect, right in the center of the old town and near the castle, with all the restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. We will definitely come back! Be careful if you come by car; Google Maps might mislead you, as you're in the heart of the old town!
- Colleen (10/5): Excellent place to stay. Highly recommended! - Our lovely host brought a drink to welcome us to this beautiful place overlooking the castle in Gjirokastër. The accommodation was exceptionally clean with all the amenities. It was a pleasant walk to the castle and the old bazaar and back up to Arpet Guesthouse. The breakfast, served out on the terrace with a beautiful view, was amazing. The property was perfect but don’t rely on Google Maps to get you there. Contact the host. He helped us find it with no trouble.
- Doda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicklas (10/5): Super stay!!! - AN AMAZING PLACE!!! A great view over the whole oldtown and castle. Private table overlooking it all while having a beer in the evening or for breakfast in the morning. The hosts are super welcoming and they came to pick us up after we got a bit lost on our way with our car. The appartment is super clean and comfy! Easy walk to the castle and old town, and the walk up isn't too bad at all. Not too steep. Would have liked to spend a few more night here for sure Be aware when arriving by car! The appartments location is not all that easy to find or drive to. Narrow steep streets that sometimes just ends all of a sudden without warning (no traffic signs etc). Ask the host for a video by whats app and they will send it or call them and have them meet you somewhere and lead you up. Google maps shows the correct spot of the apparment, but it will probably not find it's way there, because in this are google doesn't know where you can / can't drive. This is not the appartments fault, but if you are an unsure driver, this might not be the best spot for you. At least have full coverage on the car! Trust me on this one.
In the first picture you can see where we got stuck after google had as drive there. The appartment is 100m to the right, but the road is undriveable from this point onward to the right. The host came to pic us up at this location and drove us up the right. Ask for the video in advance so you can study it a bit before arriving, as the video is 12 min long. But I promise it's worth the trouble! There is a room to park infront of the appartment.
- Lina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful guesthouse with garden and view to the castle. Very clean and comfortable. Location is perfect, a few minutes walk to the town centre. The owner is super nice and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and can only recommend this place.
Like other coments say, it's difficult to get there by car because Google maps does not find it well. But if you call the owner before arrival they will guide you, they even picked us up to help us get to the house. Everything was great.
- Silvia (10/5): Exceptional - as almost any place to stay in girokaster, it is not easy to find. Googles maps sent us on a wrong way, so we called and they came to help us and guide us to the place. it is very well located. 5 minutes to the bazaar and 15 minutes to the castle. they waited us with some local fruit and coffee. the room is very well. beds and bathroom ok. the view to the castle from the yard, the best!
breakfast very good
- Alena (10/5): Amazing place - Amazing place in the old part of city with castle view, very pleasant family. Few steps to bazaar, short distance to castle.
- Elodie (8/5): Very good - The kindness of the hosts, the location was very central to access the old bazaar Hard to get there by car
- David (10/5): Perfect stay in gorgeous location - The property is in a stunning location with a beautiful view, only 10 minutes walk down to the town. The hosts were very hospitable and friendly. Room very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property if you are visiting Gjirokaster! :)
- Edmund (10/5): View to die for - Best view in Albania. Grab a bottle of wine and sit on the terrace, this will make your whole stay a great experience. The apartment itself is freshly renovated, you can also enjoy local breakfast, prepared by a lovely host. Beware of the tricky navigation of Google Maps in Gijrokaster. If you arrive by car, drive from the direction of Zekate House, otherwise you risk getting stuck in small pedestrian streets and Google tends to direct you through stairs.
- 4rdit (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was new and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and polite. Really good breakfast with amazing view. Definitely will go again.
