Comfortable, quiet room on road that connects with the Old Bazaar.
Pros:

The owner met me out in the street which was a nice gesture. For the purposes of a tourist, this room was conveniently located on Rruga Alqi Kondi which extends uphill into the Old Bazaar section of town. I ate 3 different meals in the Old Bazaar area. From the Old Bazaar area, one can continue onward to the castle or to the Zekate House. There are smaller shops nearer to the lodging. There is a large and comfortable bed and a mini fridge is available. It is attached to a rather spacious bathroom. As to sleeping at night, I thought the neighborhood was quiet. As to the day I had to leave, I simply walked downhill on Alqi Kondi and switched streets once or twice to wind up at the bus station.

Cons:

The bus from Tirana dropped me off at a roundabout at the upper end of Boulevard 18 Shtatori. In fact, it wasn't too far from my lodging. However, the Rruga Lufta E Mashkullores is a very steep, cobblestoned, leg burner! It was a bit of a workout to hike up that alleyway with my luggage in tow from Boulevard 18 Shtatori. Is this the fault of the owner? Absolutely not! I just wish to advise my fellow tourists that much of what you will want to see and experience are on the mountainsides of Gjirokaster.. so get those hiking boots on and prepare for leg burns!

Pros:

La ubicación, el lugar estaba bien. El anuncio era sincero.

Cons:

El olor a humedad a la entrada del edificio. El baño es suuuuper incómodo. No hay trapo de piso ni lampazo ni nada para secar y no tiene cortina. La ducha es sobre el inodoro. Por lo que una vez que te bañas todo queda mojado.

Good if you are looking for cheap
Pros:

It was well located and good quality for the low price I paid!

Cons:

Even though on Booking.com said 12:00h for check out time, the host asked me from 08:30h what time I was leaving and also at 11:30h he sent me another message asking me “are you leaving or not”. That was so uncomfortable and made me mad.

Suitable accommodation for visiting the beautiful and interesting Gjirokastër.
Pros:

Nice and suitable accommodation for a short stay. The room is not very big, but it is clean and there is also a table where you can have your morning coffee. Beautiful historic old town and the city center are not far away, but you have to climb up the hill to get to them.

Cons:

The street leading to the accommodation was quite steep and difficult to get there by car. But, other streets in Gjirokastër are even worse and narrower.

Bien
Pros:

Lo que es la casa, está muy bien. Para la época que hemos ido, igual un poco fría la casa en general. Justo 5 minutos antes que nuestra salida, el propietario llegó bastante nervioso metiéndonos prisa. Lo demás muy bien
