Reasonably priced and classic option in a city that is difficult to navigate.
Pros:

We liked that it was a traditional place. Good location and decent breakfast. Helpful staff. Good views of the entire city.

Cons:

Parking is complicated even though the hotel staff is very helpful. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming. The surrounding area is a bit depressing, with a dilapidated house right next door.

Es un bonito hotel de montaña pero no cómodo para verano
Pros:

El personal es súper agradable, te aparcan el coche si no puedes acceder al hotel debido a la inclinación de la calle.
Todo está
Muy limpio

Cons:

Es incómodo el acceso, los techos abuhardillados, las escaleras …

Des avantages et des inconvénients
Pros:

On vous aide à trouver l’emplacement de l’hôtel en venant vous chercher et il y a une place de parking.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Proche du bazar et dans une rue calme.
Clim qui fonctionne

Cons:

Mauvaise insonorisation (nous avons été réveillés à 5h du matin par les voisins du dessus et nous entendions tout ce qui se passait à l’accueil depuis notre chambre située au 1er étage).
Chambre sombre deux petites fenêtres (la troisième donnant sur la terrasse du petit déjeuner a été condamnée)
Pas de rideaux aux fenêtres permettant de faire le noir complet.
Odeur dans la salle de bains

Pros:

Sunny room, traditional, super clean with all the necessary amenities. Very nice people, nice breakfast in a small lovely balcony. Quiet location outside the crumbled touristic roads.

Cons:

As the city is super inclined by itself, has small roads and lots of cars, keep in mind that parking can be tricky. The hotel runs a valet parking that is very comfortably situated to unload the car.

Pros:

La gentillesse et le service du propriétaire qui a été jusqu'à nous emmener en voiture récupérer la nôtre garée un peu loin. La propreté de la chambre sous les combles, le petit déjeuner copieux. La proximité du grand bazar.

Cons:

Les GPS sont complètement perdus à Gjirokastër, il est quasiment impossible de trouver l'établissement seul. Bien connecter avec le propriétaire qui envoie un message WhatsApp dans la journée afin qu'il vous guide.

Tolles, kleines Hotel mit guter Lage zur Altstadt
Pros:

Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Unser Auto haben wir (nachdem wir es gefunden hatten) vom Personal in den sehr steilen und engen Straßen selbst ein- und ausparken lassen. Uns wurde auch beim Gepäck tragen geholfen, da wir mit einem Baby für 3 Wochen Urlaub relativ viel dabei hatten.

Schnuckeliges, kleines Hotel mit einem schönen, sauberen Zimmer und guter Lage zur Altstadt. Man ist in 10 Minuten die steile Straße zur Altstadt hochgelaufen. Das Bett und die Kissen fanden wir auch richtig bequem. Vom gemeinschaftlich genutzten Balkon hat man einen tollen Blick über die Dächer der Stadt.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Hotel sehr genossen.

Cons:

Die Parksituation an der steilen, engen Straße ist etwas kritisch. Wir sind auch ein paar mal im Kreis gefahren, bis wir die richtige Straße hatten. Das Hotel befindet sich in einer Seitenstraße, die man nur zu Fuß erreichen kann. Mein Mann hat vorne an der Straße im Auto gewartet und ich bin erst einmal zur Rezeption. Es kam sofort ein Mitarbeiter mit und hat ein Auto weggefahren, sodass wir ziemlich nahe am Hotel parken konnten. Wenn das Auto erst mal steht, kann man seinen Aufenthalt hier echt genießen.

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 :)
