Gjirokastra stands as an enchanting and historically rich destination deserving of exploration. If you seek an unparalleled and genuine Albanian adventure, Gjirokastra emerges as the ideal destination to embark upon. Cheap hotels and cheap food prices

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.

Beautiful historic city with lots of things to do - visit castle, go on walk through narrow streets and bazaar, try tradicional cuisine. You can also visit lots of natural places near the city on hour long distances

The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it is rundown with only the bazaar and some houses being maintained to a level fit for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you go away from the bazaar especially at night it feels really lonely and sad. Gjirokaster has become very touristic in the past few years with the old bazaar being constantly crowded with youths from Western European countries who do not respect the place and openly smoke hashish and get drunk.
The road to get to the old town is a traditional stone path that while beautiful is a disaster because it destroys your car's suspension, has very steep grades and if another car comes from the other direction good luck! Because of this and the lack of parking in the old town (even among hotels that advertise having parking) you become a prisoner of the old town. During the summer because of the type of stone the city is built of (also found in the mountain Gjirokaster is built on) it is very hot even during the night making the entire experience very unpleasant.
Most museums/attractions are basic and the few English descriptions that can be found are very nationally charged which reminds me more of the rhetoric of the 1940s than 2023. The vast majority of Albanians, even those who work in this "tourism industry" cannot speak English at all or speak it very badly making communication difficult and moreover they are not really friendly with tourists.
Gjirokaster like Albania in general is about as expensive as Greece or even Italy while effectively offering a touristic product akin to a 3rd world country. Unless corruption is rooted out, Albanians stop emigrating and the economy and democratic institutions develop I frankly do not think I will ever visit Gjirokaster again.

When in Albania, Gjirokaster should definitely be on your list. The views from the castle are amazing and a visit to the Bazaar for those Instagram pictures is also a must.
But what we enjoyed the most was the travel between Berat and Gjirokaster. Make sure to stop at Tepelene to fill your water bottles with some fresh water and try some deliciously baked fresh trout. Find a small road next to the river, drive in and get yourself wet in the pristine clear water.

a magic city full of wonder and majesty
a magic city full of wonder and majesty
Amazing views from the historic castile
Incredible architecture - like nothing seen before
Whilst the bazaar is somewhat touristy - there are lots of lovely restaurants and bars, and the odd authentic shop to keep everyone happy.
Don't dismiss going down into the new town too
We had a fantastic stay here in Gjirokaster. Service like most of Albania is incredible and the apartment is perfectly located slap bang in the centre literally seconds walking distance to everywhere. Everything seems new with the apartment even though you are staying in an original house. Free parking is also available about 5 mins walk from the hotel. Breakfast was included at a nearby hotel and is delicious and huge! Will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Gjirokaster. Thanks for the incredible stay!
The people who work at the hotel are very kind and accommodating and helped us with activities in Gjirokaster e.g. checking bus times to Tirana or contacting a horse riding agency. The room was very spacious and clean and the beds were large and comfortable. Would recommend staying here for a trip to Gjirokaster, especially if you are traveling by bus (5 min walk to the hotel from the bus station). There is also a small supermarket next to the hotel and a restaurant, so very convenient !
The hotel is better than the pictures shown on Booking.com. It is close to shops and the castle. The staff is wonderful, starting with the owner and on with reception and kitchen personnel. I have never experienced a service as excellent. Everyone going above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.
The room was very spacious, beautiful and the bathroom very modern.
The breakfast was outstanding. High quality food and very pleasant service.
I highly recommend Hotel Kalemi.
The hotel owners was an older couple and they treated us like family! Upon arrival, we were given the grand tour and the Obelisk was only a few steps away. The room was a great size and everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was by far the best we had in Albania! The owner cooks everything and they take such good care of their guests! We loved everything about this four room hotel!! Definitely worth a stop just to have care and hospitality of the owners! Thank you!
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.
This hotel is gorgeous- everything is immaculate and so lovely. Beautiful blond wood everywhere, accented with lovely albanian textiles. Our room was perfect and had the most stunning view of the Gjirokastra valley. Tatiana and her son were so kind and welcoming and made sure we were as comfortable as could be. Tatian greeted us every morning and made us a splendid breakfast. There can’t possibly be a lovelier hotel in Gjirokastra!
Very comfortable. The place was super clean. From the garden of the hotel you can have a good view of the castle. The road to the hotel is steep but all the roads in Gjirokaster are steep, the good part is that the hotel is considered in the beginning of the bazaar area so we didn't walk too much with the bags to reach the hotel, and the next day it was easy for us to reach the main road again for Tirana bus.
This hotel looks absolutely great, inside and out! When sightseeing in Gjirokaster, you'll spend a lot of time looking at the traditional houses - well, I thought we were staying in probably the best of the lot. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. A memorable experience, just perfect!
A brand new hotel with the best views of Gjirokaster! Rooms are bright and big, the bed is very comfy, breakfast is amazing and staff is very polite. I spent my 10 year wedding anniversary there and they even decorated our room. I absolutely recommend it to everyone!
The hotel is in the main street of gjirokaster where bars and restaurants are around, and has free parking just opposite. Walking in the old town is not far. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean and the stuff very friendly. I'd come again
Close to everything that Gjirokaster has to offer. Beautiful view of the town and castle. Really interesting history and lots to see and do. The guest house and breakfast are both great, really nice owner and her son is a great asset and helpful.
Very beautiful home in old Gjirokaster with great views. Comfortable and clean. Best part of the stay was the family hosting us. Incredibly generous and kind, made us feel right at home. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.
Just getting to know Maradona is special, the hotel is traditional bit with a modern touch. AC and WIFI working with no problems. The owner will help you with everything. If you are in Gjirokaster I would definitely reccomend.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and very clean rooms. For the price it is really a super deal. I recommend this hotel to everyone wanting a quiet stay in Gjirokaster.
Very good location in center of Gjirokaster
Super friendly staff. Kudos to Niko
Love the architecture of the hotel renovated yet respecting tradition
Great breakfast with an amazing view
Staff was incredibly friendly. Location is right next to the main bazaar and old site center. The hotel decoration is based on traditional Gjirokaster design.
