3 star hotels in Gjirokaster

Two night stay in this lovely hotel which is centrally located for shops, restaurants and the sights. Good selection at breakfast and staff are very friendly. All rooms are named after key individuals in Albanian history with a bio on the wall. Definitely recommend!

You cannot review Eastern European hotels with the same eye you use to review a Western hotel; they are different. The owner will greet you with wine and raki and a snack but after that he doesn't want to be bothered. This hotel is located high up in the city of Gjirokaster and is difficult to get to, you'll understand if you stay here. Luggage has to be driven up here from the city center, and you...

Lovely hotel Lovely, comfortable, well priced hotel in the heart of Gjirokastër. We really enjoyed our brief stay and were made very welcome and appreciated by th staff. Antoni, in particular was helpful, understanding and generous and this made our time even more rewarding. Thoroughly recommend this hotel and the delightful people working there.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Hotel Bineri. From the moment we arrived, the whole household was incredibly helpful and welcoming. They were so hospitable—taking the time to show us around, share the fascinating history of Gjirokastër, and even give us tips on the best places to visit (and a few to avoid). The property itself is beautiful, full of authentic charm that reflects the city’s character...

It was the best hotel in Albania. The owner, Antonio, was so accommodating and helpul.it was spotless and beautiful views. Perfect location and the restaurant was amazing!

Excellent location, excellent staff, excellent facilities, excellent breakfast. Really couldn't ask for more. It's a very traditional hotel and I loved it.

A wonderful stay from start to finish. The hotel offers excellent facilities, a spacious and beautifully appointed room, and a stunning view that really elevated the experience. Dining at the restaurant was a highlight, with high-quality food and a great atmosphere. When I misplaced my sunglasses during my stay, the manager and staff handled the situation with professionalism and genuine care, going...

Is the best the view, the food? The rooms, everything is clean. I'm thinking to go back. I enjoy

Beautiful hotel in an incredible setting. The road up is challenging but they provide YouTube videos which are very helpful, and taxis up and down are inexpensive if you prefer not to drive it yourself. Would very much recommend a stay here!

This facility was amazing! I wanted to order a cake for my daughter in advance and they had one waiting in our room upon arrival. Amazing staff!

Just the most beautiful magnificent place ever. It has the best views anytime of day evening and morning. The service was impeccable and the room with terrace are just sublime and so comfortable. You’ll love it as we did too. Enjoy

Absolutely stunning resort with phenomenal views of Gjirokaster. Service was excellent and Kerculla had a great breakfast selection, but I felt the cleanliness in the room could have been slightly better. Regardless, thanks for a fantastic stay!

Definitely 1 1/2 to 2 stars. Television and A/C had issues. No hot water in sink. Hotel had construction equipment though out the property. Positive side was it’s locations to restaurants.

Check-In was effortless.. Staff was Kind and Courteous.. Room was a bit musty and smelled of wet bagged week old laundry.. But we airwd it out and the rest is history

Staff are exceptional. They go out of there way to help out. Customer service at its best. Thank you

Hotel room was clean, sink water pressure was poor, bed mattress was hard and a little uncomfortable, sheets had visible holes in them. Everything else was peefectly average.

Very pleasant young team with good English in charge of reception and the breakfasts. Terrace with stunning views. Just on the edge of the old town - everywhere easy to walk to and friendly (but don’t go for the gastronomy) restaurants. A comfortable place to stay.

Great hotel. Amazing modernized old building

Great place with amazing views. All of the plates that we tried were really tasty and it was an opportunity to try the local cuisine as well. Also, all of the stuff members were kind.

The best spot in Gjirokastër! What a view... 😍 The service was fantastic! The food, (although you cannot get the full menu on the rooftop) was very good... Village salad, Spinach Puff pastries... 😋

Stayed here for two nights and had mixed feelings about the hotel: What worked: the location was excellent and very central for the old town and popular sights. While some reviews criticise the ease of parking and getting into the hotel, I honestly can’t see any way of making it easier given the hilly nature of the town! The fabric of the hotel was great too, which amazing views of the city from...

Just finished our 2 night stay at this hotel. The beds are so comfortable and the view of the hotel is incredible. However the best thing about this place is the wonderful staff. They are all so nice and helpful. They go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable! We also dined at the restaurant as well and the food is superb. I truly recommend this place to anyone visiting Gjirokaster.

Historic building with welcoming hospitality and very good food. Magnificent views from the dining area. Good local wine selection. Somewhat difficult and narrow uphill route to the hotel, and parking is three floors below the entrance.

I’ve stayed in many hotels, but this one stands out as truly exceptional. The lobby’s design struck the perfect balance between modern sophistication and cozy warmth. My room was immaculate, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with high-quality amenities that made my stay incredibly comfortable. The staff’s attentiveness and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident in every interaction. Whether...

There were 18 of us from Yongo tour. This hotel managed to put us all in. Some of us had small rooms but mine, No.103 on the ground floor was spacious with 3 windows but no balcony. All rooms have attached baths. Love this hotel. Have the “homey“ vibe. The room is clean, with heaters in both the room and bath. Twin beds are comfy with great sheets. Theres even a kettle, fridge, TV and hair dryer...

Charming, comfortable stay Great breakfast. Parking was down the lane but we were able to drop our suitcases off first. Located on a quiet road and an easy five minute walk to the bazaar. Spotless bathroom and comfortable bed.

Perfect old town location Great location about 5 minutes walk from the bazaar and restaurants. I had a balcony with a view of the castle. The room was spacious and spotless. The breakfasts in the conservatory were well presented and delicious. Highly recommended.

Palorto is a charming little hotel. Well located for visiting the Castle and the Bazaar. It provides a parking lot nearby.

Lovely staff team made us feel very welcome. The room was great with a lovely view from the balcony and comfortable beds. The breakfast was delicious and generous. The location is perfect, a few minutes from the bazaar and its cafes and across the road from a lovely old house that you can look around. Recommended.

The staff is wonderful. The room is nice and clean. The breakfast is fantastic as well. Parking is limited and the roads are tight. We pulled up and a male staff member unloaded our suitcases and then moved the car for us to where it could be parked. I would recommend doing this as we never would have known to park where he did. It is about 6 - 7 min walk from the bazzar and maybe 15 -20 min...

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Maradona was an excellent host and prepared a great breakfast for me. The room was clean with a very comfortable bed and facilities. If you need a place to stay in Gjirokastër, look no further than here!

Really nice place to stay in Gjirokaster! We felt very welcome, the breakfast was good, the room was comfortable. The main attractions are 10/15 minutes away walking.

My experience here was truly outstanding. Maradona, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He’s incredibly accommodating and genuinely cares about making your stay special. The complimentary pickup and drop-off service was a fantastic bonus that really set this place apart. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was both beautiful and spotlessly clean with A/C. It's also...

I really enjoyed my stay in Hotel Bebej Tradicional. The room was beautifully decorated in a traditional style — very stylish, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, with a great shower. The location itself was excellent — it’s situated on a hilltop, so walking to the city center was no problem at all, especially since part of the way is downhill. At night it was very quiet, and during...

We had the pleasure of staying here and would recommend it to everyone. The location is great, only a short 10 minute walk to town. The room itself is spacious, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Maradona was an excellent and welcoming host. His customer service was perfect and went beyond what he needed. He would offer to pick us up and drop us to town each day. He even booked our bus from town...

Totally clean, perfect service. Free parking, breakfast was included. Maradonna is very helpful. I really recommend this place! The view was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed a good traditional dinner. There s also a free shuttle service to the city

Lovely owners go out of their way to help. Rooms are clean and tidy, breakfast is excellent. Easy access to everything in the old town.

We were only going to stay overnight to escape the rainstorm and lightning in Sarande. We like the place and the wonderful hospitality that we extended to 4 nights. The hosts are truly amazing.

The room was good size. We arrived in the evening and checking was straightforward. They were very responsive on the booking.com app. The place was clean but the bathroom wasnt well sealed- so water after a shower leaked everywhere. Excellent parking directly outside the hotel.

An unforgettable stay in a beautiful location! This family run hotel is exceptional, the staff are so friendly and they couldn’t do enough for us. It’s in an excellent location in Gjirokaster, we had a great view from our hotel room. The rooms are lovely and spacious, with air conditioning and really nice amenities. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough :)

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The property is stunning, and the owners are incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, excellent AC, and a huge bathroom with a fantastic shower. We originally planned to stay just one night, but loved it so much that we extended for another night. The pool was beautiful—a perfect escape from the summer heat—and we really...

Hosts were really friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and close to everything. Rooms are clean and cozy

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Everything exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Great family run hotel in the heart of the City. Very close to Old Baazar n Castle. The experience starts with your stay, and for a nice comfortable stay i highly recommended this place. Cozy room, clean, and u can see that family really cares.

This was a great hotel to stay at. The rooms were very clean, with beautiful views. The food was fresh and always flavourful, making every meal very enjoyable. The service was great, as everyone was inviting and helpful. I loved the hotel overall and definitely recommend it.

Great room that was clean and had an amazing view. The staff is probably the most helpful people I've come across anywhere. Breakfast was simple (like everywhere in Albania) and good (best so far in Albania). Ot is sentral, felt safe and taken care of. Can't complain about anything from this stay.

It was a big surprise for me good view and the room and service

Hotel ok, but bathroom wasn't nice -wet toilet paper and shower shoes that every guest can use - disgusting! Three stare for great breakfast.

The staff was very accommodating. In an excellent location.

Stunning hotel in the mountains Beautiful setting for this charming friendly hotel ..lovely rooms and nice bathrooms very tastefully done in decoration and furnishings The streets are filled with shops and restaurants with a castle at it's centre ...highly recommended

Great location for walking around. Rooms are compact but comfortable and very clean. Lovely helpful staff at breakfast and on reception.

Amazing location. You just need to park before in an under ground parking garage. Lovely staff. Great hotel. Over just a super place.

The staff were incredibly helpful. Although clean, the hotel appeared to be in need of some upkeep. The location was safe and very walkable. Overall, we had a nice stay.

I had a wonderful stay at Argjiro Hotel. The location is perfect — right in the heart of Gjirokastër, just steps away from the old bazaar and historic landmarks. The hotel itself is beautifully restored, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and elegantly decorated, with stunning views of the stone rooftops and surrounding mountains. The staff was exceptionally...

We had a really good time in Gjirokastër, and this hotel is the best place to stay in, and the location is just by walk to the castle. Way too cheap for the quality and the location of this hotel. Definitely we will be coming again after new year 🤩🤞🏼.

Hotel located in the heart of old Gjirokastër. They upgraded my room free of charge and lent me the phone charging cable I had forgotten. The Google Maps directions are somewhat confusing; it's best to ask for directions once you're in the old town. It's a well-known hotel. The staff is friendly. Breakfast wasn't ready on time, so I had to leave without eating because there was nothing prepared. I...

Excellent staff. Neat and Clean room. Shower was small but it's ok Excellent location close to Castle and citiy center.

Excellent location, modern hotel, recommend! Excellent location, only a few steps away from the heart of Girokaster but far enough not to hear all the noise/hustle and bustle. Room had an amazing view of the city. Breakfast was good, decent selection. Staff friendly and helpful, arranged taxi for us and driver picked us up from the hotel. Only place in all of our hotels in Albania that provided a kettle...

Came with my family for breakfast, the food was freshly made and delicious and the service was great. In terms of location, maybe because it was my first time there it was a bit confusing. Overall, 10/10 would recommend.

We had an excellent stay: we got a room upgrade and early check-in, the staff was very attentive, the breakfast is generous and delicious breakfast, with a breath taking view. Highly recommend

Friendly and helpfull staffs, with same booking amount they shift us to other hotel near to Gjirokaster Castle with perfect view. we had amazing stay in the hotel with delicious breakfast.

Excellent hotel with the best mattress , clean toilets and room , air con heat fantastic , international TV , very good wi fi and nice people on reception ❤

Good location and nice rooms with an excellent breakfast, but the biggest benefit is the staff. Very friendly and helpful!

Cleanliness is a problem. But the place is dirt cheap.

Excellent hotel, very quiet, very competitively priced. Easy parking. Friendly staff. Small room on the ground floor for a coffee or a good beer!

Beautiful hotel, so peaceful and quiet to sleep. Situated in the centre of old Gjirokaster, excellent to visit the area. Staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble and always a smile. The only place to stay in Gjirokaster

Really pleasant hotel with bags of character. We had the family ( or alpine ) room right at the top with two beds for children, decorated with super-hero characters and Disney princesses. When we had children travelling with us they would have adored this but the room would have been small for two parents and two teenagers. The walls and ceiling were clad with timber and the views! the view out of...

An absolute gem of a hotel. Literally at the entrance of the old city. The rooms are big (we had room 201) and the AC works really well. Washroom was completely redone. Breakfast was good. Eggs could have been hotter or done on demand. But none the less. Everything was fresh. Staff were great and helpful. The owners own another hotel and restaurant. I suggest you do go to the Kodra restaurant

Big plus is the pool no doubt, but the entire city is really worth a stop. Walking distance everywhere. Getting there by car was the challange. Narrow streets and I neen narrow. Cobblestone, steep up and downhill. Cross fingers that you dont meet another car. Guesthouse fine, nice english speaking girls. Cheap good wine and hang by the pool.

My wife and I stayed here for one night in late September, ‘23. We were here as part of a Balkans tour and our stay was so short and atypical, so I’m not sure my review will be very helpful. The Praga is in a beautifully maintained converted Ottoman mansion overlooking the town and plain beyond. Views from the front and side guest rooms are very attractive. The hotel has some nice touches, including...

Our agency found this hotel, and we were very happy. Location is just next Hoxa and Skanduli house, very center in Girolaster. The building is an old renovated house with extreme good taste and very nice amenities. Rooms are big and bathroom is great. The breakfast is also great. Staff is very nice, friendly and professional and most speaks very good English.

Excellent in everything, welcoming, abundant, kind, traditional

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Kalemi 2 in Gjirokastër! The hotel itself is full of charm, beautifully combining traditional Albanian architecture with modern comfort. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — fresh, varied, and served with care in a lovely setting. A small tip for travelers arriving by car: Google Maps can sometimes make mistakes when guiding you to the hotel, so it’s best to double...

Lovely room and location. Everyone was kind and helpful. We loved our stay

This hotel is very close to the centre and is in the traditional Ottoman style. It is modern and well laid out. There was no lift so I had to negotiate the one flight of stairs. Luckily someone carried our luggage up and down for us at the end. We had a lovely quiet room. It had a kettle and bottled water and a fridge but again no supplies of tea and coffee, however we do travel with our own supplies...

An “interesting”drive up to this beautiful old hotel, through the tiny streets of the old town. Fantastic views from the hotel, there is parking too. We arrived earlier than expected and so met some staff who couldn’t speak much English. This wasn’t a problem as the young lady who was there later spoke it very well. Our room was the most attractive we stayed in , in Albania. Clean, comfortable and...

If you want to see a traditional Albanian home that is now a hotel this is the place to go to. The staff are wonderful! Beautiful outdoor area for relaxing or having a drink. It’s a truly magical place. I’m definitely coming back!!

This hotel is outside Girokaster city (6km) but is clean, cozy and it offers good prices.

The host is very responsive and also the rooms are very comfortable 👌

I had a very pleasant stay in this room. It was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Breakfast was also tasty, with a nice variety that set me up well for the day. Overall, it felt welcoming and comfortable—exactly what I needed.

Hotel Selfo is amazing and the view is very beautiful , it's a good experience!! Big Respect for you and of course i will come back to you again!! ❤️❤️❤️

An amazing hoter to stay in your vacations in Albania. The room was big, very cozy and clean. The owners and staff of the hotel are extremely friendly and helpful!!! Great people!!! The breakfast was also very good with variety of local products!! In our next vacation in Albania, we will definitely visit Hotel Selfo again!!

Fantastic hotel, overnight stay, we arrived in the middle of the night and were received very warmly. The breakfast is fantastic and the prices are more than acceptable.

Hotel is high up the hill and you had to climb quite a few stairs yo go to the rooms, which makes it very hard if you’re traveling with children or elderly. Rooms are small but very cleaned and the air conditioning functional. Breakfast quite poor (no coffee or milk) even though staff was friendly. Best thing - the windows on the double room that allowed you to sleep looking at the stars. Overall I...

We highly recommend staying here. Very nice hosts who was very helpful via whatsapp. You can easily drive up to the hotel, some steep streets but no problem and navigation shows the way. The hotel has free parking, ignore all the people “offering” parking. The room was very nice, new, clean and has a very nice bathroom with a very good shower. Having breakfast on the terrace is a joy. The hotel is...

We had a fantastic stay in Gjirokaster and hotel Pashai was the ideal place for us to stay at. We stayed for two nights which allowed us to take things slow and to really enjoy this beautiful place. The room was cosy and the view from our window was stunning, breakfast was provided and really nice too. The hotel is ideally located between the bazar and the Ali Pasha bridge and right next to the Castle...

Great value, quaint rooms with a lovely terrace and breakfast! Fancy soaps etc too. Owner was very helpful as I struggled with the narrow road to the hotel and kindly parked our car for us! Well conditioned and perfect location, walking distance to the bazaar and other main attractions/restaurants etc. Would highly recommend!

Everything about our stay was perfect. The room with city views was full of natural light, beautiful decor, very very clean, lovely bathroom. Service is exceptional. Friendly, helpful, welcoming. And breakfast was delicious with local ingredients.

This family is just amazing. We had a great experience. The place is spotlessly clean, with comfortable room and bed, excellent location uphill near the castle and short walk from one of the best restaurants in town. The breakfast was amazing and they did try their best to make your stay memorable. The mother and the children speak fluent English, so it does help a lot. We had great time and extended...

The best possible first experience in Albania, I was travelling through to Tirana by bus and stopped by. I was not aware that it is a cash only establishment, instead of making me put the food back the staff generously allowed me to still eat (and the food was great for a buffet style). Incredible hospitality and shows that they truely care about the people coming through. Thanks

The food is good, but the problems are as if it were on the seashore, the service is bad, the waiter's behavior is bad, I don't want to visit that place!!!!!??

We stopped by by chance after looking for somewhere to eat and was pleasantly surprised. They have a kind of buffet but where they kindly ask you to see the food (especially because of the difference in languages, although they speak English) and choose what you like best. We ordered a kind of lasagna but made with delicious macaroni, rice with chicken the same, a kind of empanada but with its Albanian...

I was there 3 years ago and loved to come back this year as well. The rooms were very clean, nicely decorated and comfy. Parking space right in front of the guesthouse, delicious breakfast. The host was very welcoming and the location was optimal. Definitely visiting, if I come to Gjirokastra again.

I loved the location the most. Steps to central area, close to the castle. Parking right in front of the hotel. Room was relatively clean, found long hair on the bathroom floor. I didn't like the "superior" room. I asked for a double or queen bed but I got another single bed too. No room to turn around. The single bed was the only option to use for my luggage. Dinner was too "traditional" for me...

Managed by a very hospitable family, The room was extremely clean. It was located in the heart of the Old Town, every attraction, museum, castle, and café is just a short walking distance away. A place with a great view. The breakfasts were awesome. Alma hosted us during our stay. She iis extremely friendly and helpfull to all her guests. The family makes you feel at home. I highly recommend sraying...

I had a fantastic stay at Silver Hill Guesthouse. The room was absolutely beautiful, combining traditional charm with the comfort of a modern bathroom. The view over the city from the window was simply excellent. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the delicious breakfast they served, made from fresh local ingredients, was a true highlight of my visit. Highly recommended for a perfect...

We had such a wonderful experience with Alma in Gjirokastër! When we arrived at our originally booked accommodation around 9 PM, we were told there was no room available. Thankfully, we found Alma, who immediately welcomed us with so much kindness. She made us feel at home right away and helped us with everything we needed. Her hospitality truly saved our trip that evening. We highly recommend staying...

Managed by an incredibly hospitable family, from the very first phone call to the warm welcome upon arrival, everything was perfect. The room was spotlessly clean, and the spaces were cared for with great love. Located in the heart of the Old Town, every attraction, museum, castle, and café is just a short walking distance away. A place with a great view. I highly recommend it!

It was a fantastic experience for me and my family. The food was amazing, the service was very fast and understanding. The location was very easy to find. I recommend "Bujtina Maria" to everyone who wants to have a nice and traditional meal and also stay for at least one night because it is a wonderful experience!

Everything went good, Rooms was clean and the food was tradittional. Highly recommended.

Amazing hotel situated in a small town, easy to find and to park near the hotel. The staff is very nice and ready to help at any time, our room was super clean and spacious with a great view of the village and fields. We enjoyed the pool, the bar and the restaurant for both dinner and the breakfast (it was our favorite one of our stay). If you are looking for a romantic and clam hotel this is the place...

Lovely stay. Best place for relax and chill. Helpful staff, sometimes with issues in communication, but no big problems :-) Super place to stay with family. No crouds, lovely mountains views, and the best traditional food made with passion. Recommend this place!

If you're looking for a beautiful place to stay in the area just outside of the old Gjrokaster town then this is well worth your time. Tucked up against the mountains with incredible views over the valley in a quiet authentic Albanian village, with home made food with fresh ingredients, pool facilities and breakfast options making it a complete all in one stay away from it all.

That is a place stay if you go to Permet, Worth to visit if you want to get away from the crowds and relax. A little hotel surrounded by amazing landscape and fresh food. We found that place a very peaceful like one of those magical tiny villages with super friendly people not spoiled by globalisation. The hotel super nice and clean with amazing view over the hills and the oldest Albanian Orthodox...

This is a true Ottoman house. It's like staying in a museum. The room is totally authentic, except for including a modern bathroom. The family who owns and runs this are exceptionally nice and helpful. Weather permitting, an excellent breakfast is served on the terrace, with a stunning view over the valley, There is adequate street parking. Note that if you're driving, Google Maps takes you way up...

My father and I have known this great place and the hosts since 2019. Absolutely gorgeous hotel and rooms, delicious meals, and most importantly - very friendly and helpful hosts. In fact, the hosts even helped me repair my old film camera - they found the right screwdriver and helped me fix the mechanism. Recommended.

Wonderful stay with an amazing hostess We had a great time at this hotel. The hostess was incredibly kind and made us feel so welcome. Since it was the off-season, she even upgraded us to a better room, which was such a nice surprise. The room was traditional and cozy, with a gorgeous view that we couldn’t get enough of. The location was perfect — close to everything but still quiet and relaxing....

Evisa and Vullnut made hotel Musee feel like a home away from home. Btw, we are from Malaysia. Besides the amazing panoramic view and thoughtfully designed room, here are some I consider value added features : 1) 5-10 mins walk to the town where the actions are ( cafes, restaurants, places of interest etc). The Gjirokoster castle is also a nearby climb up. Good walking shoes are highly recommended...

Hotel Musee.. what a delightful find. A wonderful welcome and upgrade to a larger room. Loved the traditional decor and breathtaking views g from the terrace. Breakfast fare different every day. Generous portions. Fresh and delicious. So close to attractions and tavernas and bazaar. Will be recommending you for sure!!

We stayed here in their duplex family room for a night during our short Albania trip last December.. very beautiful room , lovely view , warm host family.. we enjoyed our stay .. a little tricky to drive the steep roads leading to it but a lot of sights to visit around , most within walking distance.
