This hotel has a great location close to Gjirokaster castle, old town and other historic attractions. It provides parking for the guests which is really ok if you traveling by car. The service and the staff are excellent hard working and professional people and very kind and helpful. We had an amazing experience- the location of the hotel is great, the breakfast was plentiful and authentic Albanian food served with kindness and hospitality. We highly highly recommend this amazing hotel in Gjirokaster.

Amazing stay!

Amazing staff - and breakfast! One of the best stays of our Albanian trip, mostly due to the perfect location, beautiful breakfast with a view of the valley - and not least the staff. We are not experienced drivers and from a country without mountains = we were NOT skilled enough to drive the streets of old Gjirokaster. I would recommend anyone who is not a VERY skilled driver to park at the bottom of the hill and not take the extremely steep and narrow one-way streets full of tourists on cob stones that you cannot even walk on because they are so slippery. BUT we didn’t know and when the car couldn’t event be parked without sliding backward because of the steepness, a group of Albanians steeped in and held the car from behind while the cousin of the car manager of the hotel jumped in and drove us the 20 minutes reroute to get to the right street to the hotel parking. The next day another car manager of the hotel drove us and our car down the hill. Amazing service! Other than that we have to hightlight the best breakfast of our trip with the most amazing views. Would definitely stay again (and park at the foot of the cobstones streets :-) )

Great hotel - excellent service

Hotel is in an older building and represent an older style - very good rooms and some great views. Breakfast was excellent - staff were very friendly. Finding the place in a car was a challenge as was parking but we had a great stay and enjoyed the experience.

Ótimo lugar em Girokaster

Hotel a poucos passos do bazar, muitos restaurantes, barres, lojinhas de souvenir . Também fácil de ir a pé para o castelo e museus . Difícil foi chegar lá porque o Google maps não ajudou. Foi aí que a recepcionista do hotel veio ao nosso encontro e nos guiou. Uma imensa gentileza. Tudo muito caprichado , cada lugar do hotel bem charmoso .
