This place is amazing. Super friendly hosts! We could park there just opposite the hostel. There are two terraces with the best view in Gjirokastra! The room was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was delicious! WiFi worked well. There is a shared kitchen with everything you need to cook, and two fridges for guests use.

The owners are such kind people who made our stay so beautiful by welcoming us as if we were part of the family! They were taking care for everything we needed (you can wash your clothes for free), brought fruits and drinks, and even surprised us with an incredible dinner with lots of laughter and exchange using different languages in order to understand each other. It was more than special and I fully recommend. Thank you very much!

Perfect location! When you step outside you are surrounded by little shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The streets are beautiful. Bed was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were very modern and clean. Probably best shower I’ve had in my 4 months travelling Europe and the Balkins. The owners/family are all lovely and accomodating. If you’re a solo traveller looking for a really social atmosphere then this may not be for you however it was perfect for me as I was looking for a relaxing place close to everything.

The two brothers (the younger speaks fluently english) made sth. like a miracle with this old car-wash station in the centre of Sarande. They transformed the place in a superb "Boutique" style hostel. Have in mind the really good off-season price the breakfast was better then in any french hotel (take your own coffee with you), the shower beats most of the top notch hotels I know, and the courtyard gives the possibility to chill and connect with other travelers. Its a safe place, I even could let my bicycle there for a week for more than a fair price. Have in mind, that it is city center and its a all season party town, so do not expect a quite place for your meditation, better have good ear-plugs with you.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions about getting around the area. Location is about a 7-10 min uphill walk from the main square. Loved my time at this hostel and would stay here again.

All hostels in Gjirokastër

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.
