Pros:

Goede ligging, nabij parkeergarage en het oude centrum. Restaurant rooftop met mooi uitzicht. We kregen een mooie, ruime hoekkamer met mooie uitzichten aan 2 kanten.

Cons:

Geen centraal zitje in de lobby. Omdat er nauwelijks gasten waren is de sfeer een beetje doods, maar die ga dan wel in het centrumpje halen.

Excellent location and comfortable hotel
Pros:

The location is excellent - walking distance to the main street of the old town with easy access to places to eat and shop for handicrafts. The bathroom has been renovated with modern and elegant fittings. The rooftop restaurant has a lovely view of the city and the mountains/countryside. We ate dinner at the hotel and the pizza was outstanding and the restaurant servers were pleasant and went out of the way by serving us a complimentary platter of cut fruit.

Cons:

We would have preferred to have the TV in the sitting area since it is separate and distinct from the bedroom. It would have been more convenient to watch the TV while sitting on the sofa. The corridors looked dated and not so well maintained compared to room itself.

Pros:

The hotel overlooks the main square (which can be noisy at times) but if you want to be in the center of Gjirokaster, that's the place to be!. I enjoyed watching the sunset over the Albanian mountains from the balcony. The bazaar, the mosque, the cold war tunnel and the stairs of the castle are just a stone away. The rooms are a bit outdated but it's part of the charm. The big bonus was the car park just outside the door (400 lek/day).

Cons:

The breakfast terrace is amazing but the breakfast choice and quality was a bit of a let down, don't expect a full continental choice.

Mooie uitvalsbasis voor UNESCO-werelderfgoedstad Gjirokaster
Pros:

Rij in het centrum van Gjirokaster de parkeergarage in, pak de lift omhoog en je staat voor dit hotel. Wat gebouw betreft heeft dit hotel wel iets van oude oostbloktijden, maar het comfort en de vriendelijkheid van het personeel is helemaal van nu. Superplek want bazaar, burcht en Cold War Tunnel zijn allemaal op loopafstand (wel even klimmen).

Fantastisk morgenmad
Pros:

Stort værelse med balkon lige ud til den store plads og den fantastiske udsigt til bjergene. der er en stor underjordisk parkeringsplads lige udenfor og hotellet ligger lige ved den gamle by. Morgenmaden var fuldstændig fantastisk. Der var så meget at vælge imellem, så vi var godt mætte da vi forlod hotellet.

Cons:

Desværre var værelset virkelig koldt og varmepumpen kunne ikke varme værelset op. Vi gik i receptionen og fik et ekstra varmeapparat op på værelset, dette hjalp. I receptionen sad personalet med frakker på, så hele hotellet var temmelig koldt.
Som mange andre steder vi har været i Albanien, er der intet toilet bræt eller dette er ikke sat ordentligt fast og det samme gjorde sig gældende her,

Een heerlijk hotel op een fantastische lokatie, een oud gebouw met kamers in een nieuw jasje.
Pros:

We hadden een comfortabele ruime suite met zicht aan 2 kanten op de bazaar en op het plein. Heerlijke badkamer en heerlijk bed. De lokatie was fantastisch. Parkeren onder het plein in de openbare parkeergarage waar voldoende ruimte was (€4,- voor 2 dagen). Heerlijk rustpunt.

Cons:

Het eten viel ons tegen. In het restaurant gegeten maar het bestelde niet naar verwachting. Ik bestelde gegrilde groeten, maar kreeg wat gevulde paprika met heel veel risotto.
Het ontbijt was matig.
