Vraiment très bien !
Pros:

Hôtel typique, très bien situé dans la vielle ville.
Personnel très sympathique .et compétant.
C'est l'hôtel idéal quand on veut visiter Gjirokaster.
Attention, les rues montent beaucoup et on a vu seulement après qu'ils avaient un service de navette !

Thanks for FIFA final and celebration
Pros:

Fantastic hotel in every way! The location is perfect, close to everything and ideal for exploring the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.

One thing that made our stay truly memorable was how they went out of their way to accommodate us so we could watch the FIFA final. They made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the match, and celebrating Spain's victory there with such a great atmosphere was unforgettable!

Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

nothing

A little gem right at the heart of the old bazaar
Pros:

Perfect base to explore the town. Right at the gorgeous old town but with a place to park your car! We stayed in a beautiful traditional room, great bed, nice view, clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely, and there is a nice bar if you fancy a drink.

Cons:

Not an issue for us, but the drive up to the hotel along steep and narrow cobbled streets is not for the faint of heart. Also, this is a super super minor detail, but the bread and cake we got served with breakfast did taste like they were a few days old. The rest of the breakfast was nice though.

It’s a wonderful place and good location, just be careful on the drive up here.
Pros:

The property was an updated old fashioned place. It was very interesting place.

Cons:

The drive up here is very steep. If you are not used to driving in steep narrow roads, this might make your heart race.
