Pros:

Chambres magnifiques, très typiques (nous avons été surclassé dans une suite vraiment magnifique). Très bon petit déjeuner sur la terrasse, très agréable. Emplacement parfait au centre de Gjirokaster, tout en étant calme. Le personnel est très avenant, à l'écoute du client.

Cons:

Les salles de bains pourraient être améliorées pour les rendre plus agréables.

Un hôtel au centre mais au calme
Pros:

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au sein de cet hôtel. L’accueil et le réceptionniste étaient adorables, et notre suite magnifique. La literie était très confortable, et le bain à remous très agréable. La localisation de l’hôtel est parfaite : centrale mais au calme.

Plutôt sympa et typique, pensez à gérer votre parking
Pros:

Emplacement super, en plein cœur de la ville
Le style des chambres est superbe
Le petit déjeuner était très sympa avec des petits beignets très agréables

Cons:

L’isolation thermique et sonore laisse à désirer, nuit pluvieuse nous avons été réveillés plusieurs fois par les bruits d’écoulement d’eau.
Le parking est limité à deux places utilisées en permanence pendant notre séjour. Le tenancier nous a payé le parking en bas de la rue pour compenser, c’est sympa mais pénible quand même de devoir faire les aller-retour en voiture quand on a une grosse valise. Considérez qu’il n’y a pas de parking attenant et garez vous dans le parking de la place topuli, 4 euros par jour

One day visit, beautiful hotel, very nice people
Pros:

Great authentic hotel, location perfect, staff went extra mile to help with parking near by (opposite the hotel). They offered options for the room, but, we liked our originally booked one. Breakfast was absolutely very good.

Cons:

Nothing that comes to my mind. All good. Thanks to Dritan and staff.

Hospedagem perfeita. Retornaria com certeza
Pros:

Se hospedar em um casarão histórico foi uma experiência maravilhosa. Decoração do quarto é linda . Quarto muito espaçoso e tem uma varanda ampla com vista pra rua. Localização perfeita perto de todos pontos turísticos. Café da manhã não é buffet porém é bastante farto e suficiente. Bom custo benefício

Cons:

Questão de estacionamento e ter q dirigir até o centro histórico ( não é culpa do hotel isso). Tem vaga gratuita na rua porém não acho seguro deixar pelo risco de alguém bater no carro dirigindo. Acabei gastando 15 euros pra deixar em um estacionamento privado.

Pros:

Πολύ όμορφο αρχοντικό, πολύ καθαρά και πολύ ευγενικό προσωπικό!!Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!!Είναι μέσα στο κέντρο της παλιάς πόλης με πάρκινγκ, οπότε δεν χρειαστηκαμε καθόλου το αυτοκίνητο για τις βόλτες μας στην πόλη!Όλα ήταν δίπλα!!

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay in this traditional Ottoman house lovingly converted into a hotel. The hosts showed us around on arrival. Those with mobility issues should be aware there are quite a few stairs and no lift. But that didn't put us off. We stayed in the Queen's Suite, which was comfortable and clean. The location is perfect - 15 mins hike to the Castle and 10 mins to the Old Bazaar. Loved stepping back in time.
The breakfast was good spread.
