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.

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.

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
The hotel is in the city centre hosted in a beautiful historical building; we stayed in the suite, the former living room used for ceremony and daily life by the family’s members. The breakfast is really a beautiful moment, served in the terrace of the house by the super kind staff of the hotel. The atmosphere of Old Bazaar hotel is unique, very recommended to live the original vibes of Gjirokaster old city, a beautiful experience that we loved a lot. Thank you for your kindness, we will never forget it!
We loved this hotel!!! Marcel and his family are so kind and welcoming. The hotel and room is stunning, decorated beautifully. We are at their restaurant for dinners and the food was some of the best we’ve had in Albania, loved this veggie platter. We had many bottles of their homemade white wine. the breakfast was one of our favorites while on our 6 week trip. We were so glad we stayed here outside of the city, it was very calm and centering. Don’t hesitate to book
This is a great little apartment for one or a two night stay. Apartment was really clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was all homemade and plentiful. Walking distance to see the sights of Gjirokaster and where the buses pick up and drop off. Yes you do have to walk up the big hill to the Old Town and Castle but it really is not that bad. Owners were lovely and friendly, even if they didn't speak little or no English. Highly recommend this apartment.
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!
The hotel is very nicely situated, you can’t get closer to the center than that. That means that sightseeing and culinary experiences are literally outside the door.
The view from the hotel’s large terrace in front is stunning. Not only do you see the Gjirokaster castle, but also the whole valley bordered by high mountains. We especially enjoyed dining there. The insides and outsides are nice, clean and modern.
Staff is fine and helpful.
One of my most favourite nights in Albania. The most gorgeous hotel in gjirokaster. Tatiana, the host, was so friendly and helpful and in the morning you get a home cooked breakfast which exceeds any hotel breakfast anywhere - it was amazing. There’s parking available but it’s within walking distance of everything in the town. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel
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…..
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.
the room, location, view everything was on point!
I definitely enjoyed staying in hotel Kodra. would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Gjirokaster.
the breakfast felt very homey & was super nice.
the hotel is in the village so no cars could access that area, but they were nice enough to meet us next to our car & help with the luggage.
Clean, large, nicely furnished apartment with great views. Good communication with owner who helped with parking, which was important as the parking and driving in Gjirokaster is extremely challenging! Anyone who has mobility issues would definitely struggle to walk up and down into town - it's up a fairly steep hill.
The family who runs the hotel is super nice and friendly. The breakfast they served in their garden was delicious and varied per day. Great location in central Gjirokastër. Our room and bathroom was super clean, and was even cleaned during our 2 night stay!
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
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 hotel was conveniently located near the castle. The street was narrow, so the owner helped us park correctly. Everything was well thought out. The breakfast was lovely, and the setting was charming.
Everything: cleanliness, design, position (right in the center) and kindness of the Manager (Mr. Martin). Parking spot available near by. We are going to recommend this hotel for a stay in Gjirokastër
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.
