Pros:

Una casa preciosa, todo nuevo, cama y almohadas muy cómodas, la del balcón una gozada por la noche con unas vistas estupendas. El desayuno bastante completo en una terraza muy agradable. La ubicación es estupenda, parking privado. La comunicación es inmediata, quedé con ellos cerca del hotel y vinieron a acompañarbos para llevar el coche al alojamiento. Es mejor ir al castillo y al centro histórico por la calle de atrás, en lugar de por la que está el parking, hay menos cuesta. El personal muy atento a todo

Hotel super avec un accueil au top. proche des commodités.
Pros:

La ville est vraiment très sympa, l’accueil était parfait et la communication très simple. Le petit-déjeuner était copieux et de très bonne qualité.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et nous recommandons vivement cet établissement !

Cons:

Les lits ne sont malheureusement pas très confortables. Le parking de l’hôtel n’est pas idéal, mais il est tout de même possible de trouver des places pour se garer dans les rues aux alentours. Le patron est également très disponible et aide volontiers à trouver une solution pour le stationnement.

An excellent place to stay in Gjirokaster, better value than many places up the hill
Pros:

Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely old building with an immaculate, recently refurbished interior. Excellent value for money and conveniently located for the main attractions up the hill. I was able to park my motorcycle out the front of the hotel.

Beautiful hotel in a good location, friendly staff, great breakfast
Pros:

Wonderful staff, beautiful hotel and exceptional breakfast! Rooms are nice and clean, staff helps you park the car if needed. Location is good for walking to the old town.

Cons:

One thing to consider is, if you are tall you can’t fully stand up in the room.

Pros:

le personnel est super serviable, c'est une très belle maison de pierre. L'emplacement est top. Le déjeuner est prit sur la terrasse.

Cons:

Il faut appeler les propriétaires avant d'arriver afin de vous aider au parking car l'accès est difficile mais faisable !
L'emplacement est au bas de la vieille ville. Il faut marcher une pente important pour aller au centre mais ça dure uniquement 5 bonnes minutes.

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.
