Since my last visit in 2010 the town has turned into some sort of tourist trap. Masses of day visitors seem to flood it in the afternoon and you have to leave the "Bazar" area to get some local food at a local level (of price and service).
Be prepared for the steep ascents - particularly on a wet day.

Everything about the town I liked.
Everything about the town I liked. Drove to Blue Eye, which was a pleasant hilly drive with views. Love old town and the history. I spent 2 nights and it was perfect length of stay. Not an easy town to walk in because it is hilly and cobblestone, but walking slow is not a problem! Need a map or a really good sense of direction to find things. Walked to Ali Pasha bridge viewpoint and then hiked down to the bridge.
The Albanian people are so kind, always smiling and ready to help.
The drive from Tirana airport to Gjirokaster was fairly easy. I followed google maps and had no wrong turns. 3 hour drive.

The town is beautiful and interesting for its fortified houses. Also is on UNESCO list. The old centre is very pleasant to walk around, it has an atmosphere. Car traffic was quite problematic, the roads between the houses are very narrow and very steep. Also, Google maps did not have good enough background and often led us somewhere where, for example, instead of a road was staircase. The old stone roads were very slippery in the rain ;-) Ono or two night is enought to stay here.

Albanian thoughts:
Albanian thoughts:
Spent a week here in April 2024 – so many positives …
Purely electronic passport gates at Tirana airport – an advantage if low on passport stamp space? Swift bus into town centre. Euros very widely accepted, 1:1 with the local Lek currency. Felt safe, met many great people and enjoyed a lot of raki; wine rather so-so, beer better … Trains are close to non-existent; negotiating the minibus service involves arriving and paying on the spot – found it straightforward; typical price: Tirana to Gjirokastra – 4 hours - £10 ..; saw stunning mountain scenery in last 2 hours, and when crossing the mountains from this town to Sarande port (1hr15, £3.30). Accommodation costs very favourable: enjoyed flats at £9 pppn. From Sarande, easy enough to catch a ferry or hydrofoil to Corfu, as a return airport – ca/ £20 single, 30-60 mins. Albaniatourguide proved a very useful online resource. Looking forward to next trip: apparently 12 degrees even in January …

Only had time to visit the castle.
Only had time to visit the castle. Spent several hours there. Would love to come back for the folk arts festival and visit some of the houses with the specific architecture that put this place on the UNESCO list.

Great location... amazing ambience... the location and the view are amazing... the hotel faces the gjirokaster castle /museum...remember this city was not built for cars so it will test ur driving skills if you are not used to the driving in hills or mountain terrains.. the rooms were very clean and had all the amenities...
The staff were extremely friendly... and polite...
Special thanks to "Matteo" at front desk... extremely professional... goes out of the way to make the guests comfortable...
This place is right in middle of old town with spectacular view and everything is near by. This place is run by old couple who are very sweet and prepare best breakfast in entire Gjirokaster! Google map landed us to a different route and it was under construction so - when we called owner he came down to the place we were and took us to hotel , he also found us free parking spot ! All the tourist attractions are very near to this stay and it is such a vibe to be here
The Hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Gjirokaster. The historic city center is only a few steps away. The location of the hotel is simply stunning and allows an excellent view over Gjirokaster. The hotel-staff is extremely friendly and helped me even with a little problem with my car. Breakfast was excellent and was much more than a single person could eat. This was the best hotel I had during my week touring around Albania! Highly recommended!
This hotel was excellent in many ways! Maradona, his wife and father ALL worked to make our stay comfortable and drove us wherever we wanted to go. Maradona was very available by phone and even spoke with our Sarande bus driver to have him drop us off so he could pick us up! The room was full of light with a great hot shower and hot delicious breakfast! They had roses planted all around the terrace which had a great view of Gjirokaster.
Nice small hotel with a very good value for money, and the owner, Maradona, is unique. The hotel is clean and has a family-friendly atmosphere. Maradona finds solutions to any problem you might have and is always available for his guests. He even offers free rides to and from the city center whenever you need. In short, Maradona is Mr. Gjirokaster par excellence, doing everything to ensure his guests are satisfied.
Great mattress and really quiet at night so we slept well - probably all the hills in Gjirokaster help too!
Albin is a friendly and funny guy to talk to. It’s great to chat with a local and find out more about life in Albania.
The breakfast is awesome! The best byrek we have had - big thank you to Albin’s friend’s mom for that!
Gjirokaster is a lovely place to spend a few days and this a fantastic guesthouse…..
One of the best rooms we have ever booked! We liked it so much!! Very clean and beautiful room, perfect location (near to the center). The owners very friendly and the did the best for us. We ate also dinner in the hotel's restaurant and we ate delicious and traditional albanian food!! The breakfast was full!! Our room (double deluxe) had perfect view and was perfect decorated! 🥰
this is a wonderful place, absolutely perfectly located. I loved my room. Clean, comfortable bed, air conditioning worked perfectly. The owners of this hotel and the staff are also really great. There were no taxis available to take me to Sarande, which is an hour away, so the owner of the hotel drove me. Fantastic. A really great person who told me all about life in Albania.
Clean and comfortable rooms in a lovely historic building in Gjirokastër. The city center is only a few minutes walk away by foot. The surrounding is calm and there is a terrace with great view where the rich breakfast with local specialities is served. The hosts are very friendly, helpful and informed about local sights. Free parking space in front of the hotel.
Our stay with Tatiana was a highlight of our trip to Gjirokaster. Her warm welcome made us feel at home straight away.
This beautiful hotel is very central and fits in as a historic building. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean.
Don't miss out on the wonderful breakfast. It was a delicious treat!
Location is perfect, as well as the room, bathroom and the swimmingpool. the hotel is brandnew, and located only a few minutes walking from the castle.
Gjirokaster is a really nice village to visit and stay for a few days. swimmingpool is an extra benefit, because it gets really hot.
Fantastic stay, very welcoming staff. Husband and wife team. Wonderful, new parking lot to leave a vehicle. Did our laundry for us. Awesome balcony view of Gjirokastër and the castle atop the city. New, clean and affordable. Pleasant stay with Miri the man. Highly recommend
Amazing location right next to the bazaar and close to Gjirokastër castle.
Breakfast was incredible!
The girls at reception were extremely friendly and helpful. They even posted my jacket back to me which I had forgotten at their hotel.
The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Gjirokastra!
Wonderful hotel! Great view, delicious breakfast and very helpful staff. The hotel is very high up and a bit of a distance from the town but it was a quick walk down to the down and easy to find a taxi to drive us back up.
The hotel was newly built and it was clean, well designed and so cozy. You could see a nice view of the city from up there. Just keep in mind that you definitely need to have a car for easy access to the city
Great family-run hotel with incredible views from the bedroom window and set really close to Gjirokaster castle. Newly refurbished building, very clean and there was always someone around to help you.
Clean, modern, spacious, parking and good breakfast. Friendly people who work in the hotel. Near old town of gjirokaster. Around 6 to 7 min by car or 20 min walk. Its a fancy hotel.
