Pros:

echt een aanrader, prijs-kwaliteit heel goed. we konden het niet vinden ondanks navigatie en het personeel is ons komen ophalen met de auto, waarna we achter hen aan naar het hotel konden rijden. prachtig uitzicht vanaf het balkon op de stad, heerlijk ontbijt.

Pros:

El hotel Pequeño pero muy bonito. Madera y piedra, la madera parecía nueva. La atención del dueño genial, incluso nos busco al llegar y nos aparco el coche.

Cons:

La mampara del baño no estaba completamente cerrada, se sale el agua. Pero quizás aquí en Albania son así, nos ha pasado en varios hoteles

Recomendable por la calidad-precio
Pros:

Para el precio, muy recomendable. Los dueños nos ayudaron con un problema que tuvimos con el coche de alquiler llamando ellos a la agencia. Muy atentos a cualquicosa que necesitaras.
Desayuno típico bastante completo.

Cons:

Nos dijeron que la habitación estaría en 15 min y tuvimos que esperar bastante más.
Si hay sitio en la calle de bajo asfaltada es mejor en en la calle del alojamiento ya que está muy empinada, hay poco sitio y mover el coche es complicado.

Pros:

The aesthetics of this hotel is fascinating! It's unbelievable that it's with such a competitive price. The staff of the hotel are nice as well. The included breakfast was also a blast, with a great portion and variety! Would choose this hotel again when I come to the Stone City again :)

Super service, top hotel!
Pros:

Adeleo (ik hoop dat ik zijn naam goed schrijf) was super aardig! Hij deed er alles aan zodat wij comfortabel en oké waren. Super jongen om in je hotel te hebben!!! Het ontbijt was mooi verzorgd en veel! Je wordt geholpen met de auto naar je hotel en je wordt geholpen met de koffers, wat ontzettend lief was.
De kamer was schoon, je hebt ook de mogelijkheid om buiten te zitten op het terras.
De afstand naar de bazaar en het kasteel is ongeveer 10 minuten lopen, maar dit is echt een pittige wandeling die steil omhoog gaat, dus de locatie is top, maar je ontkomt er nergens aan in die stad om de berg op te moeten.

Cons:

Mijn vriend is 1.90 en kon niet echt rechtop staan in de kamer, dat was het enigste jammere aan de bovenste etage kamer hebben.

Pros:

Vi følte oss veldig velkommen! Vi kontaktet hotellet ved ankomst fordi vi var usikker på hvilken gate vi skulle kjøre opp til (kom med leiebil). Da kom det en og møtte oss og viste oss vei. Unge, flinke folk som jobbet der. Veldig serviceinnstilt og hyggelige. De bar bagasje, disket opp med nydelig frokost og passet på at vi hadde alt vi trengte. Vi fikk rom i øverste etasje med skråtak. Fungerte helt greit for meg med 166 cm, men for de som er høye kan det være en fordel å be om et rom uten skråtak.

Pros:

Naprosto luxusní ubytování. Cena/ výkon - snad i lepší výkon. Velmi krásný interiér, velmi milý personál s radou výletu do okolí. Výborná snídaně na terase. Parkování zdarma na ulici, pokud nejste zdatní řidiči, majitel za vás i zaparkuje😂. Velmi doporučujeme.

Cons:

Nic - jedno z nejhezčích ubytování za levnou cenu, co jsme měli !

Perfect stay in Gjirokastra
Pros:

The room is very comfortable and quiet. The location is perfect, there is a steep walk to town center, about 300m where you go for meals but the way back is down the slope, logically. Parking is in front of the street, which is very steep but the hotel owner came for help with parking which we appreciated a lot.

Cons:

Nothing

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.
