We had a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend
Pros:

Free room upgrade with amazing view and balcony. The room was clean and cozy. The building is from 1821 so it feels like you walk through a castle. Also the breakfast and the breakfast balcony are amazing.

Alles in allem ist das Hotel mitten in der Altstadt ein Traum. Für diesen Preis mit diesem tollen Frühstück etwas unschl
Pros:

Wir hatten das Zimmer mit Balkon und Ausblick gebucht und haben das Zimmer in der obersten Etage erhalten. Es war ein Traum. Toller Blick über die Altstadt. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und das Frühstück war super lecker, vor allem die süßen regionalen Quarkbällchen. Kaffee wird nicht direkt serviert, aber bekommt man kostenlos wenn man fragt. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Auto wurde geparkt und wir durften nach dem Check Out weiter dort stehen bleiben.

Cons:

Der Kühlschrank hat etwas getropft. Wenn man duscht ist das halbe Bad unter Wasser, da es nur eine halbe Duschwand gibt. Das Zimmer kann nicht komplett abgedunkelt werden, daher waren wir früh wach.

Very good value for money
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room had beautiful furniture and was spacious and clean. A tasty and rather big breakfast was served on the balcony. The Old Bazar ist about 5 minutes away from the hotel.

Fantastica
Pros:

La ubicacion es perfecta, en el centro Gjirokastër y de facil acceso con el coche , a 500 metros del centro antiguo y a 800 m del castillo, puedes ir caminado sin problemas a todos los puntos de interes. Tiene parking privado, David fue un anfitrion amable y en contacto todo el tiempo para lo que necesitaramos. Fue una reserva de ultimo momento y estuvimos muy felices de haber elegido esta opcion. Buen desayuno

Cons:

Nada

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.
