The hotel is located in the best part of town! Walking distance from major sights. Breakfast was great!

Rui Portugal

Great location in the stone city, so close to the main shops, restaurants and castle Staff were super friendly Clean and comfortable room Huge and delicious breakfast

Claire United Kingdom

Our room was beautiful and like a home away from home. Bed very comfortable and room was quiet. Very clean. Staff were friendly. Location is fantastic, but be aware if driving that's the roads up to it are steep, cobbled and narrow.

Graham United Kingdom

The room was beautiful! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was varied and tasty. Highly recommended!

April Germany

Absolutely great room in the typical style of Gjirokastra. Very clean and friendly staff. Breakfast was ok, no dinner is served, but no problem with the restaurants in the city centre right around the corner. Great Location. Only 2 minute walk to the city centre

Nico Germany

We loved our stay in this beautiful hotel. Our room was spacious and the traditional decor charming. The view of the valley was sensational. The bed with crisp white linen and soft pillows was very comfortable. The breakfast was superb with plenty of variety. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come here again so highly recommend it. Location so good for walking to the castle, bazaar, restaurants -everything!

Christopher New Zealand

Great position in the old city. Very friendly staff. Very quiet air conditioning. Good WiFi..

David United Kingdom

location, room, breakfast, attitude of owners, spinach pie, extremely clean, sheets very white and impeccably ironed.

Anca Romania

Very helpful with car parking outside, we were met with fresh fruit and water on arrival. The room was very nice, 2 single beds (comfortable and large for singles). Great location ... everything in walking distance (Castle and old town), geat view of traditional houses from balcony. Breakfast was great, including traditional pamcakes with honey, fruit, hard boiled egg, bureck, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese... Great coffee and mountain tea. (Served, not a buffet) Staff very friendly & helpful.
