we spent a few days in Albania and it was definitely the best accommodation. Mateo and his family are wonderful people. The breakfast was delicious, the location was quite good, quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this accommodation, the rooms were clean, it was quiet and peaceful. we will come back for sure. Before arriving, it is worth contacting and stopping the car before the hill.

Marian and his wife Bona were so kind and welcoming. Marian even picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station during my stay. The hostel is so clean; both the bathrooms and rooms. The bed was super soft and comfortable. It’s located right in the center of the city. There was not a kitchen when I stayed but Marian said he is working on the kitchen and it will be available soon. Highly recommend.

The hostel was new and the facilities were really clean, bed was good to sleep and included a lockable drawer for luggage. The staff are really nice and helpful. Location is great, you have to climb a few stairs but everything you need is close by; beach, shops, bus stops, etc.

The owner and his mother were so nice and helpful. We felt totally welcome. We had the feeling that they had tried everything to fulfil our wishes. When we walked into town, Daniel even offered to pick us up. The location may not be central, but the rooms and also the outside area are nice and clean, the coffee for breakfast was delicious. The hospitality is priceless and at the same time you get more than enough for your money.

The stay at Hostel The Old Gate was amazing! The moment I arrived, the host (Taulant) greeted me with so much kindness and made me feel instantly at home. My room was spotless and cozy, with a balcony that opened to the most breathtaking mountain views, I could have sat there for hours. Breakfast was simple and delicious with homemade honey made by the owner, the perfect energy boost before wandering through the streets of Gjirokastër’s Old Bazaar as well as the Ali Pasha Bridge (aquaduct), both sites are located not far from the hostel. I loved relaxing on the terrace in the evening, surrounded by the peaceful garden, the host offered some homemade rakia and gave some nice suggestions for visiting in Gjirokaster and other places in southern Albania. Everything about this place felt authentic and welcoming. Without a doubt, I’d come back here again, it’s one of those rare places that makes traveling feel special.

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.
