Hotel Bebej Tradicional, hotel in Gjirokastër

Situated in Gjirokastër, 43 km from Zaravina lake, Hotel Bebej Tradicional features accommodation with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant.

What an awesome place! It is run by this nice family, and our main host Maradona is THE BEST. He told us to park our car and he drove us wherever we needed to go, he was very kind to answer all our questions, really one of the best hosts we ever had. The room we stayed in was sparkling clean, with comfy bed and great view. Breakfast was very good, we had some traditional Albanian foods, and you can even have a lunch and dinner at the place for ridiculously small amount of money. Just imagine the beautiful village with sweet hardworking family that runs a small traditional hotel and works hard on making sure guests are happy, comfortable and well-fed - that is Hotel Bebej! I strongly recommend this place!

    The town is beautiful and interesting for its fortified houses. Also is on UNESCO list. The old centre is very pleasant to walk around, it has an atmosphere. Car traffic was quite problematic, the roads between the houses are very narrow and very steep. Also, Google maps did not have good enough background and often led us somewhere where, for example, instead of a road was staircase. The old stone roads were very slippery in the rain ;-) Ono or two night is enought to stay here.

    Albanian thoughts:

    Albanian thoughts: Spent a week here in April 2024 – so many positives … Purely electronic passport gates at Tirana airport – an advantage if low on passport stamp space? Swift bus into town centre. Euros very widely accepted, 1:1 with the local Lek currency. Felt safe, met many great people and enjoyed a lot of raki; wine rather so-so, beer better … Trains are close to non-existent; negotiating the minibus service involves arriving and paying on the spot – found it straightforward; typical price: Tirana to Gjirokastra – 4 hours - £10 ..; saw stunning mountain scenery in last 2 hours, and when crossing the mountains from this town to Sarande port (1hr15, £3.30). Accommodation costs very favourable: enjoyed flats at £9 pppn. From Sarande, easy enough to catch a ferry or hydrofoil to Corfu, as a return airport – ca/ £20 single, 30-60 mins. Albaniatourguide proved a very useful online resource. Looking forward to next trip: apparently 12 degrees even in January …

    Gjirokastra stands as an enchanting and historically rich destination deserving of exploration. If you seek an unparalleled and genuine Albanian adventure, Gjirokastra emerges as the ideal destination to embark upon. Cheap hotels and cheap food prices

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it...

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it is rundown with only the bazaar and some houses being maintained to a level fit for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you go away from the bazaar especially at night it feels really lonely and sad. Gjirokaster has become very touristic in the past few years with the old bazaar being constantly crowded with youths from Western European countries who do not respect the place and openly smoke hashish and get drunk. The road to get to the old town is a traditional stone path that while beautiful is a disaster because it destroys your car's suspension, has very steep grades and if another car comes from the other direction good luck! Because of this and the lack of parking in the old town (even among hotels that advertise having parking) you become a prisoner of the old town. During the summer because of the type of stone the city is built of (also found in the mountain Gjirokaster is built on) it is very hot even during the night making the entire experience very unpleasant. Most museums/attractions are basic and the few English descriptions that can be found are very nationally charged which reminds me more of the rhetoric of the 1940s than 2023. The vast majority of Albanians, even those who work in this "tourism industry" cannot speak English at all or speak it very badly making communication difficult and moreover they are not really friendly with tourists. Gjirokaster like Albania in general is about as expensive as Greece or even Italy while effectively offering a touristic product akin to a 3rd world country. Unless corruption is rooted out, Albanians stop emigrating and the economy and democratic institutions develop I frankly do not think I will ever visit Gjirokaster again.

    A beautiful hotel! We stayed in the suite which was light and airy and an amazing view over Gjirokastër. The bed was really comfy (medium-hard) with lovely pillows. The service from Tatianna was amazing. We followed Google maps to get there (DO NOT DO THIS!) and when we got stuck in the cobbled streets in our car, she came out and helped us to get there. Breakfast was delicious. Really well located and near lots of popular places. 10/10 would recommend

    - Can't say enough of how amazing our host David was. He was really helpful and we had a great talk with him on our first night there. - The property sits on a hill top with an amazing views of Gjirokaster and its castle. - The house is very cosy, clean and comfortable with a great outdoor area. - The homemade breakfast is better than what you get in a hotel.

    Everything. Gorgeous room- worth splashing out for a balcony. The hotel staff apologised that the balcony was 'small' but it was amazing and roomy enough for two persons with a magnificent view of the mountains AND Gjirokaster castle. Room itself felt like a posh Ottoman house. Breakfast was 5-star, so much food and all so good!! Staff very attentive and helpful.

    Lovely little boutique hotel right in central Gjirokaster. We chose not to stay in the old town due to a need for parking, so it was a bit of a hike uphill to the old town, but it's a lovely walk for fit people. The hotel was quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast was served in a private room of their main restaurant/bar and it was delicious and plentiful!

    Good modern hotel with a good restaurant and a fabulous view. Everything is very close - but Gjirokaster is best seen from a distance. Many houses are abandoned or in bad repair. In winter, most things are closed. But the castle alone is worth the trip, and from there the view cannot be beaten. Friendly staff will help you with your luggage, see below.
