Hotel stay was absolutely perfect. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good each morning. The hotel was also located just steps away from the main shopping and restaurant area of the old town. I highly recommend staying here, and even more recommend choosing the room with the balcony, which was perfect for a cool evening. Maybe bring a sleep mask for that room as the patio door doesn't have blackout curtains and it gets very bright very early.

Great, character room in the heart of the old town. It was a gorgeous room and hotel. The staff was amazing, very helpful with setting up a taxi to get us to the bus station.

Beautiful views and night life around the city. The staff are extremely accommodating and helpful (we got lost and the staff helped with directions to the hotel). Definitely worth stopping and staying a night or two if youre in the area. I would go out of my way to stay here again if travelling to Albania.

This hotel has a great location close to Gjirokaster castle, old town and other historic attractions. It provides parking for the guests which is really ok if you traveling by car. The service and the staff are excellent hard working and professional people and very kind and helpful. We had an amazing experience- the location of the hotel is great, the breakfast was plentiful and authentic Albanian food served with kindness and hospitality. We highly highly recommend this amazing hotel in Gjirokaster.
