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.

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.

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.
