Una noche en Gjirokastra
Pros:

Hotel muy modesto, sin pretensiones, muy buen precio y buena localización para dejar el coche aparcado (plaza reservada en la calle que te indican ellos) y no meterse por calles empinadas y complicadas. Cogimos taxi al castillo/bazar por 600ALL y bajamos caminando. Le doy más puntuación porque en el desayuno buffet probé el mejor bizcocho típico de toda Albania. Personal amable y con muchos detalles (como dejar zapatillas de casa deshechables) Si el presupuesto es ajustado es tu hotel.

Pros:

Relación calidad precio muy buena. Muy buena vista. La cama era cómoda y en general estaba limpio. Se puede pagar con tarjeta

Cons:

No había persianas, solo cortinas y entraba mucha luz. El ascensor era pequeño y se paraba cuando lo llamaban de otra planta.
Las almohadas pequeñas y sin nevera en la habitación. Pero el precio era muy bueno

Cons:

Prie hotelio nėra numatytos konkrečios vietos automobiliui,turi statytis gatvėje.O tai nebūtinai reiškia,kad bus prie pat viešbučio.Labai skurdūs pusryčiai.

Rapport prix emplacement correct. Rideaux à changer
Pros:

Proximité avec la gare des bus à environ 15min à pied, des monuments Bazar et château et du centre ville moyennant une pente et marche à prévoir. Literie confortable de la chambre 504 et linge propre

Cons:

Chambre petite, mais pour le prix j'enlève attendais pas au luxe non plus. Chambre donnant sur la rue et bruyante. Rideaux à changer car déchirés et laissant la lumière entrée donc pas possible de dormir. Odeur de nourriture et restaurant remontant le matin au réveil. Petit dej très simple à revoir.,

Miglior rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, posizione e camera vista castello. Personale cordiale e disponibile. Parcheggio auto davanti l'albergo.

Cons:

Colazione un po' misera ma non pretendo di più visto il costo del soggiorno.
