We stayed in the private room. It was really big, clean and had a beautiful view of the city, the castle and the mountains!!! I would defiantly recommend this place and room for couples (as well as obviously, group of friends and solo travelers). They had a saved free parking for out car and early check in as the room was free and clean. Friendly hostel vibe in the common areas and same breathtaking view. Best value for money in our whole trip to Albania for sure.

Gani is an incredible host and really makes you feel at home! I visited mid September and had the whole guesthouse to myself. And breakfast was quite the spread!

Loved staying here! They have the cutest rooms and the location is perfect. Bathrooms are also really nice and clean. Boss and staff (Caroline) are soo friendly and always trying to help. They also found a bed for me when I wanted to extend my stay, even though on booking it said they were fully booked. Since they just opened recently, they might add a common area, which would be a nice addition. Would always come back.

The location was perfect, easy walking distance to get to the main attractions in town and I was always able to park my car outside the front of the hostel. There was a big kitchen, lovely terrace and the owners were very friendly and helpful

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
