The host is really nice, always ready to help you at any time and very friendly. Even if the road to go at the place is steep, the effort is worth it, you have one of the best views of the city. It's also a good place to meet other travelers.

They are an incredibly nice and hospitable family! They treated me like a daughter or family member. If you want to experience Albanian hospitality and generosity, you should stay here. The owners are so kind; they even took me to the doctor when I fell in the bazaar. They are also great cooks, and I was lucky enough to be included in a family barbecue. If you want to experience true Albanian hospitality, choose this guesthouse. The room is also very quiet, and there is a lovely garden too.

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.

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.
