It's a family run business. They are all 3 very welcoming and do their best to help you with all your needs. It moved me having such a warm smile and welcome after a long day on the road. The location is right in the heart of the old town. The place is clean, tidy and neat.

Perfect small hostel! Around 30 beds, so it’s easy to meet people and form a fun group — not like those massive 300-bed hostels around Europe. Everything is clean and new; the showers and kitchen are awesome, and the bed gave me the best sleep I’ve had in months. Even though it says 18 beds in the room, you barely notice it! And you have breakfast for free. Location is on nice street and 1 block to the beach.

The host is the nicest guy that I've met in whole Albania. He cares a lot about the place and visitors - after long and exhausting hike he even shared his dinner with me. I really enjoyed my stay there :)) Rooms was clean and spacious - I like that beds are single and there is only 3 of them, it's just more comfy and cameral.

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.
