This was one of my favourite stays in Albania. The couple who run it are absolutely delightful, and go out of their way to help you and make your stay comfortable. As long as you have Google Translate, it's easy to communicate. Breakfast is IMMENSE! It's delicious, and so much! The beds were comfy and everything was really clean. It's about a 15 min walk to the main plaza, and the hill isn't that bad.

"A wonderful stay! The place was very clean and comfortable. It's located very close to the city center, yet in a quiet neighborhood that offers peace and relaxation. The large balconies and the terrace with sea view were absolutely amazing! The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped – perfect even for longer stays. I felt very safe and at ease during my solo trip. I would wholeheartedly recommend it!"

Such a nice hostel, the rooms are huge and the beds are very comfortable and cozy. Everything was clean and neat. The view from my room was spectacular. They have a kitchen with everything you need to cook and water cooler too. They had aircon so it was very breezy. The staff was very cordial and nice. There’s a supermarket next to the hostel.

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.

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.
