10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location to explore the old town of Gjirokaster. Set within the cobbled town but still quiet. Rooms were clean with space to sit with the furnishings giving it a truly authentic feel. Views of the surrounding streets and roof tops. Staff were efficient and pleasant. Restaurants/bars and shops within a few metres.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel. Perfect location & easy to get to by car. Parking is limited but there are spaces, and staff will move your car for you if needed. Room was spotless and beautifully decorated in traditional style. Breakfast was delicious, traditional platter of olives, cucumber, tomato’s & watermelon, bread basket & spreads & jams, plus some cake & pastry with fig jam and on top of that a fresh omelette & a sausage. Coffee, juice & water in offer for drinks. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great, character room in the heart of the old town. It was a gorgeous room and hotel. The staff was amazing, very helpful with setting up a taxi to get us to the bus station. Their breakfast in the morning was fantastic, the view from the room was incredible and we really really enjoyed our stay here

A wonderful family owned boutique hotel with kind and friendly staff. Though we had to drive up a very steep hill to reach the hotel and tight parking situation, they helped us park safely. Amazing breakfast with a view on their rooftop terrace!

Beautiful views and night life around the city. The staff are extremely accommodating and helpful (we got lost and the staff helped with directions to the hotel). Definitely worth stopping and staying a night or two if youre in the area. I would go out of my way to stay here again if travelling to Albania.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Perfect Stay! We had an incredible experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they were genuinely kind, attentive, and friendly. The holiday decor for Christmas was magical, creating such a festive and cozy atmosphere. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was perfect for planning our days and staying connected. The location couldn’t be better—close to all the main attractions yet peaceful enough to enjoy a restful night. Honestly, this was one of the best hotel stays we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location and one of the nicest hotels we stayed at in Albania! Room was spacious and bathroom finishings were all new. Slight disappointment that they don't turn the espresso machine on until after breakfast (pretty bad coffee), but the breakfast itself makes up for this shortcoming.

The hotel has very historical feeling decoration. The room is clean and with nice castle view. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast is nice. The only downside is that at night, our room on the 3rd floor was a bit cold. It would be no problem for warmer days.
