The host is really nice, always ready to help you at any time and very friendly. Even if the road to go at the place is steep, the effort is worth it, you have one of the best views of the city. It's also a good place to meet other travelers.

This was one of my favourite stays in Albania. The couple who run it are absolutely delightful, and go out of their way to help you and make your stay comfortable. As long as you have Google Translate, it's easy to communicate. Breakfast is IMMENSE! It's delicious, and so much! The beds were comfy and everything was really clean. It's about a 15 min walk to the main plaza, and the hill isn't that bad.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    As a solo female traveller, I couldn’t recommend Stone City more! The hostel is spotless, great location, amazing staff, free breakfast and incredible social areas to meet other travellers.

    Probably on of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at, not just very tastefully decorated but also very comfortable and cosy. And the staff is for sure the kindest ever, they are very attentive and nice. I wish we had one more day in Gjirokäster so we could spend more time in the hostel!

    This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were super friendly and helpful, even offering great insights into day trips around the area that weren’t online. Would highly recommend!

    The best hostel I have stayed at in Albania! Staff were amazing and very helpful! Dormitories were great, bathrooms were clean and modern. The breakfast each morning is perfect, and the hostel itself is well set up. Attracts a good group of backpackers, had a great time. Will definitely be back. Also the cocktail night they held had the best G&Ts
