Situated close the center and the castle. The terrace is very beautiful. The sun rises upon us in the rooftop room that was given to us. The room was clean and as in pictures. Taken the breakfast on the rooftop terrace was very pleasant. Beautiful experience ! The host was very helpful and with the parking place, which, in Gjirokastër, is difficult to find. Very welcoming hosts.

In the morning she prepares traditional Albanian breakfast, enjoyed with the beautiful view over the mountains and Gjirokaster castle. Highly recommend to stay here!

The view from the terrace is stunning and I wanted to spend so much more time there! Would be amazing if there were breakfast that could be served on the terrace. The room is on the small side but decorated very nicely with modern and fancy-feeling touches. Really great value for the price I paid.

    Edmond and his family were the perfect hosts. The guest house is located close to the bazaar and castle. The room is great with fabulous views over the town. The breakfast is outstanding, located on the top deck, views everywhere and with plenty of homemade food and lots of variety. You can also have dinner at the guesthouse. Beautifully cooked authentic Albanian food. Edmond was our guide for a day taking us hiking to waterfalls and gorges. We highly recommend this place to stay.

    Great hostel that is run by an even better family. Location of hostel is excellent, very near the historic center of Gjirokaster still feels calm and quiet. Fantastic views from the 2 terraces. Room was clean amd comfortable. Atmosphere was calm but sociable and met some really nice people... Best of all, this family is so kind and welcoming. My wife left a valuable item behind, and they went above and beyond to help us get it back after we'd already left the city. Great hostel, great people.

    Great hostel run by a local family who are very kind and will provide answers to all your questions. Great showers with hot water, curtains around the bed for more privacy and personal plugs for all beds. Great view to the castle and some nice dogs that will follow you around all day! Close to the old city but just far enough that's it's very quiet. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Maradone is the best host you'll ever met! Great location of the hotel + Maradona is willing you to taxi you to the old city centre. Please don't eat in the city centre, the best & most cheap dinner you'll find in the hotel :)

    Ernest and his family were very kind hosts, ready to help us whenever needed. The place is even better in real then shown in the pictures: very comfortable and clean room, cosy terrace in the shadow to enjoy a drink or a very tasty homemade breakfast. As it gets hot in summer you can enjoy the small swimming pool. The hotel is in a great location: right in the city centre and near main attractions of Gjirokastër but in a quiet street.
