Very lovely hostel with an amazing terrace overlooking the castle and the valley. Very comfy room, where each bed has a curtain for more privacy. Also it had a balcony with a great view of the castle as well. Clean bathroom and shower. Friendly owner. Perfect location just 5 minutes from the center. Super recommended!

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.

Trigona was a great place to stay. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with access to the roof terrace via an easily managed window - it's an old building so this is understandable. The washroom is spotlessly clear and the shower units are quite spacious. I would highly recommend staying at the Trigona.

A great place to stay in Sarandë! The owner Vera was very helpful, giving me information about the bus schedule and also helped me arrange a taxi to go to the castle. Her young sons are also very helpful, speak excellent English for their age and are also very precise in giving information. The hostel has an amazing view, a place to wash and dry your clothes, the kitchen is well-equipped, there's drinking water there. Comfortable beds and lockers in the rooms. Plenty of common space to relax. Definitely recommended!

The room and bathroom were large, clean and well equipped, plus the balcony was just outstanding: very spacious and with a good view. The staff was very nice and helpful, they even allowed us to have a late check out when we asked for it at the last minute. Will definitely visit again when we come back to Sarandë!

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.
