    The town is beautiful and interesting for its fortified houses. Also is on UNESCO list. The old centre is very pleasant to walk around, it has an atmosphere. Car traffic was quite problematic, the roads between the houses are very narrow and very steep. Also, Google maps did not have good enough background and often led us somewhere where, for example, instead of a road was staircase. The old stone roads were very slippery in the rain ;-) Ono or two night is enought to stay here.

    Albanian thoughts:

    Albanian thoughts: Spent a week here in April 2024 – so many positives … Purely electronic passport gates at Tirana airport – an advantage if low on passport stamp space? Swift bus into town centre. Euros very widely accepted, 1:1 with the local Lek currency. Felt safe, met many great people and enjoyed a lot of raki; wine rather so-so, beer better … Trains are close to non-existent; negotiating the minibus service involves arriving and paying on the spot – found it straightforward; typical price: Tirana to Gjirokastra – 4 hours - £10 ..; saw stunning mountain scenery in last 2 hours, and when crossing the mountains from this town to Sarande port (1hr15, £3.30). Accommodation costs very favourable: enjoyed flats at £9 pppn. From Sarande, easy enough to catch a ferry or hydrofoil to Corfu, as a return airport – ca/ £20 single, 30-60 mins. Albaniatourguide proved a very useful online resource. Looking forward to next trip: apparently 12 degrees even in January …

    Gjirokastra stands as an enchanting and historically rich destination deserving of exploration. If you seek an unparalleled and genuine Albanian adventure, Gjirokastra emerges as the ideal destination to embark upon. Cheap hotels and cheap food prices

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it...

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it is rundown with only the bazaar and some houses being maintained to a level fit for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you go away from the bazaar especially at night it feels really lonely and sad. Gjirokaster has become very touristic in the past few years with the old bazaar being constantly crowded with youths from Western European countries who do not respect the place and openly smoke hashish and get drunk. The road to get to the old town is a traditional stone path that while beautiful is a disaster because it destroys your car's suspension, has very steep grades and if another car comes from the other direction good luck! Because of this and the lack of parking in the old town (even among hotels that advertise having parking) you become a prisoner of the old town. During the summer because of the type of stone the city is built of (also found in the mountain Gjirokaster is built on) it is very hot even during the night making the entire experience very unpleasant. Most museums/attractions are basic and the few English descriptions that can be found are very nationally charged which reminds me more of the rhetoric of the 1940s than 2023. The vast majority of Albanians, even those who work in this "tourism industry" cannot speak English at all or speak it very badly making communication difficult and moreover they are not really friendly with tourists. Gjirokaster like Albania in general is about as expensive as Greece or even Italy while effectively offering a touristic product akin to a 3rd world country. Unless corruption is rooted out, Albanians stop emigrating and the economy and democratic institutions develop I frankly do not think I will ever visit Gjirokaster again.

    English: The place was very clean and well kept. The host was so nice and a great. They helped us with our luggage and fed us fruit after our long drive to Gjirokaster. I would reccomend this pace to everyone. Albanian: Vendi ishte shumë i pastër dhe i mbajtur mirë. Pritësi ishte shumë i këndshëm dhe i mrekullueshëm.

    This hotel is gorgeous- everything is immaculate and so lovely. Beautiful blond wood everywhere, accented with lovely albanian textiles. Our room was perfect and had the most stunning view of the Gjirokastra valley. Tatiana and her son were so kind and welcoming and made sure we were as comfortable as could be. Tatian greeted us every morning and made us a splendid breakfast. There can’t possibly be a lovelier hotel in Gjirokastra!

    One of my most favourite nights in Albania. The most gorgeous hotel in gjirokaster. Tatiana, the host, was so friendly and helpful and in the morning you get a home cooked breakfast which exceeds any hotel breakfast anywhere - it was amazing. There’s parking available but it’s within walking distance of everything in the town. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel

    The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, breakfast was lovely, and owner was incredible – the hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the old town center, and so he offered rides in and out of town at the drop of a hat. All I had to do was call or message him and he'd pick me up within 5-10 minutes. Amazing service and definitely recommend for anyone visiting Gjirokaster.
