charming . good location . terrace with amazing view

Central and very friendly!

Very good location, staff kind, confortable place.

The hotel is in good location,not far from the center,souvenir shops and castle area. Its in a historical building with beautiful wooden carved ceilings. Breakfast was good,with Albanian traditional food , like mountain tea, trahana and dough balls. I would especially like to say thank you to reception staff that was very welcoming and gave us full set of recommendations on places to see, eat and culture in general. We were very happy to find such a helpful reception gentleman!

The problem of our stay was the wifi. We had a suite and it was hardly working in one room , but totally no wifi in the other room. This is why I give a lower review score. Wifi issue is important for visitors, and should be addressed by the hotel.

traditional, original, and unique, it’s difficult to find accommodations as authentic as this. it was stunning!

we liked everything! don’t expect luxury because tradition and luxury often dont go hand in hand. for us, this was one of the nicest experiences because it was so authentic and genuine. the breakfast could be better if they had freshly squeezed orange juice, but apart from that-everything else perfect.

The location is OK, near to city center only, 5 minutes by walk, the breakfast was is delicious,

The room was very cold, they use small AC that can't do anything for that cold

It was a nice place.

the staff was amazing. we were traveling with a baby and they did everything to make us feel at home. it was a lovely stay!

Although this hotel is located in the old part of Gjirokaster we were happy that it is a little bit aside from the touristic center with all the cafés, bars, restaurants and shops (5 minutes walk). From our room or the public balcony you have a stunning view over the whole city and valley. The room has kept his old Osman charm. But this also means small closets and creaky planks. The bathroom is super modern in a superb state. Everything is super clean. The Albanian style breakfast is absolutely delicious. The staff is very friendly. Especially the young Mr. Irvin is outstandingly caring and gives you the idea of being "the one and only family's best friend". The perfect host!

The lights in the room are too dark. This might have been to our very personal minds.

Very nice stay in a small, family-owned property. Wooden floors and carved ceiling, modern bathroom. Quiet area, a little bit uphill from the center. Public spaces, e.g. a balcony with a view of The Valley. Friendly breakfast with home-made fig jam and eggs fried to order.

Not much to improve. Maybe serve the honey at breakfast in a jar like the jam, instead of plastic portions that are hard to break in to?

Wonderful typical hotel Super friendly staff Room and bathroom super clean All in typical Albania style Nice view at the balcony Nice breakfast under the vine

a little away from the city center... but everything can be done on foot

Nice position in the historical center. The building is fantastic as well as the rooms, that are large, clean and fully equipped . The staff is super-professional, kind and efficient. A really nice place in Girokaster.

Nice place, excellent panoramic view. Kind staff, good food. Old medieval house with large garden. Easy to park with car, but challenging to get there…

Nothing specific

The hotel was in a nice family house with nice views of the city. Staff was nice (in particular Irwin) and breakfast was good, served in nice balcony. Beds were comfortable.

Room was in second floor and was not practical with luggage. wifi didn’t work well in room, but better in outside living room.

The staff is absolutely amazing. Kind, friendly, helpful. They go out of their ways to help you. The hotel is placed in a quiet spot within a short walk from all the sights. Incredible views on the city! Great breakfast.

Nothing

The hotel is amazing - full of character and charm. The views are exceptional and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful with a magnificent carved wooden ceiling. It was quiet and yet close to the main sights.

Location, near the castle and old town. Very Good breakfast.

The internet was very wick

The room was big, the bathroom renovated and the view amazing

The Wi-Fi was really slow. Although their site states that you can pay by card, when I tried to do so, they told me they only accept cash.

everything is fantastic in this hotel: from the staff (a nice and welcoming family) to the breakfast. the room was exactly what we wanted and the bathroom has been recently renovated. the old bazaar and the entrance to the castle are also minutes away. they also arranged a taxi for us when we left, and the driver made sure we found the right bus and didn’t leave until we left. the experience has been fantastic, i will go back.
