Pros:

Very friendly staff, who even upgraded us after they found out we were a couple (we had booked rooms with single beds by mistake).
Charming room with a nice couch to chill in the evening.
Great view from their terrace where we had breakfast.

Cons:

It can be difficult to find, as the road does not go all the way to the hotel - only a footpath. Parking can be challenging especially because the road is narrow but has traffic in both directions. We recommend getting in touch with the staff so they can show you where to park before deciding yourself.

Una estadía placentera
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal y la autenticidad de la casa que estaba restaurada. El desayuno era con productos caseros, preparados al momento. Las instalaciones estaban bien acondicionadas.

Cons:

Fue bien difícil ubicar el establecimiento ya que está en una calle cerrada a la circulación. Deberían poner flechas o indicar cómo llegar.

Pros:

Belle chambre dans le style traditionnel albanais

Cons:

Difficile à trouver et à l'arrivée il n'y avait personne pour nous accueillir. L'hôtel était désert, les chambres ouvertes et personne pour répondre au téléphone. Finalement quelqu'un est arrivé au bout d'une bonne demi heure.
Petit déjeuner un peu léger

Ubicacion buena para visitar Gjirokastra
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena, estas muy cerca de la zona turística aunque tienes que subir una cuesta muy pronunciada. Si volviera, no me subiría mas arriba de esa localización. Se puede aparcar en la calle principal y sino el hotel tiene como dos tres plazas para aparcar en la calle de entrada. La habitación era muy amplia y larga con una cama grande muy cómoda. Después en la salita de entrada dos camas individuales para las niñas. Las vistas muy buenas, y el desayuno muy rico y servido en una terraza al aire libre con vistas muy chulas. Para visitar el pueblo se suben 200 metros de una cuesta terrorífica y ya estas alli.

Cons:

Al ser cuatro dos personas tuvimos que dormir en la sala de estar de la entrada. Es un sitio super acogedor pero la falta de cortinas que tapen mejor la luz hace que cuando salga el sol sea mas complicado dormir.

Pros:

El hotel es bonito, mi habitación era un poco oscura, pero tenía todo lo necesario. Hay que subir una gran cuesta para ir al centro aunque está cerca del centro. El desayuno bien.

Cons:

Poca luz en la habitación, por lo demás todo bien.

Pros:

David was amazing! Thank you for your hospitality, for your help, for the wonderful breakfast you made us, and for parking our car 😊. It was a pleasure to meet you!

Cons:

The geography in general is such that all buildings in the area are built on slops. That impacts the structure of the rooms.
