Great location, good value and easy parking
Pros:

Excellent location near restaurant and shops of old town. Parking right outside hotel.

Cons:

Difficult to find at first amongst the town’s steep narrow roads - but this was due largely to satnav confusion. Taking time to plan your final route to the hotel (perhaps using Google Maos) would be well spent

perfect stay
Pros:

clean and comfortable rooms, amazing breakfast, nice little pool, perfect location, but hard to find with google maps if you arrive by car. luckily we met someone in the town who saw that we were lost and who reached out to help - by coincidence it was the owner 😀 very friendly people! we‘ll definitely come again!

Pros:

Hotellet ligger så mysigt med utsikt över byn. Ett gammalt välbevarat boende med charmig trädgård och fin pool. Personalen var så välkomnande och fina. Frukosten serverades vid bordet där det kom nya smårätter eftersom. Stanna mer än en natt

A very good hotel
Pros:

A very good hotel in the old town of Gjirokaster. Very clean, with spacious room. The garden outside the hotel is well preserved and a nice place to relax. The swimming pool is clean and very inviting after sightseeing, (especially during the summer). Breakfast is very good, with homemade marmalade, pies etc. Both the owner and the staff were very polite and helpful. The fact that it is a family run business plays an important role for the hospitality you feel from the very first moment you arrive. The parking outside the hotel is more than convenient. The hotel is close by to the castle and the sights.

Pros:

Beautiful place! The breakfast is awesome, the grounds are green and well maintained, the host is very kind, and the location is close to everything. We booked a Twin Room with a balcony. It was very comfortable and had a beautiful view. Morning shade, birdsong, and the views – wow!
