Hotels in Gjirokaster

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 🤩🤞🏼.

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.

Had an amazing time at Hotel Fantasy! Service was great! Breakfast was delicious! We couldn’t find parking and called the front desk and they were so helpful picking us up. The location and views were unbeatable! You get a view of the castle from breakfast! Super clean well maintained would romcommed!

Spectacular hotel with a perfect view and great location. Rooms were nice and clean. Delicious breakfast and full of choices. Very friendly amd helpful staff. The only difficulty was the parking spot. Everything else was perfect.

We didn’t stay at the hotel. We drank at the bar. We consumed 10 Korças, an Aperol spritz, and a glass of wine. The bar is situated on the side of a cliff. As a result it has panoramic views of the mountains and city below. The people were kind. The drinks were priced correctly. We spoke to each other of memories. We looked at the setting sun. We felt happy.

This is a lovely old well maintained hotel at top of Gjirokaster with great views over valley and hills. Rooms were in excellent condition and breakfast was amazing - the best we had anywhere in Albania. Highly recommended.

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

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...

This is a beautiful hotel with European styling, lovely bathrooms, lovely woodwork, tea kettle in the room. Good water pressure in a compact shower so not for the obese. Plenty of lighting and two mirrors. Firm mattress and immaculately clean throughout. Excellent breakfast serving the expected plus cooked beets, beet greens and vegetables.

Considering the price the room we had was tiny and the shower was hard to turn it - and we are not overweight. Also the photos on the website were very misleading as they misrepresented how the hotel and room looked. We've stayed in several other hotels in Albania at a much lower cost.

Located very easy walk to the Castle of Gjirokastra; Argjiro Hotel has been renovated to match the ambiance of the area with impressive and detailed hand-crafted wood working in the reception area. The room we stayed was also had an opulent carved wood working in the ceiling. This property also offered free breakfast, and the hotel also owns the attached restaurant where we ate and the food and service...

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.

It's a simple motel for a couple of days' stopover. The staff is fast and friendly, good treatment, very good parking. There were no towels and the front desk resolved the issue quickly.

No elevator access to my room, which was awful. Not to mention key card didn’t always work. Lovely way down to the office after a day of walking. Really frustrating when you have mobility issues.

Great hotel. Amazing modernized old building

Great experience. Delicious breakfast. Extremely friendly staff.

Authentic and very nice. Rooms are great. Views from the second floor terrace is fantastic. Highly recommended

Amazing views from the hotel to the mountain. The restaurant where breakfast is served is on the roof, so it is beautiful to sit and eat whilst taking in the spectacular views. The hotel is in a great location in the heart of the old bazaar. It is also easy to walk up to the caslte. Room was comfy and the views definitely are the selling point of this hotel.

Fantastic location, 1 minute walk from the Grand Bizarre and 1 minute in the other direction to the cathedral. Restautants and bars are on the doorstep. Breakfast was the best that I have had so far in Albania with much more choice and food being replenished. The shower was not great, with water not coming out of the whole shower head but the room was good with a comfy bed.

Really well located, modern hotel. This hotel is just beyond the end of the road up to the town meaning you don't have to take your luggage too far! Modern hotel, stayed as part of tour group so can't comment on value for money. We stayed in a twin room, 3rd floor at the end of a corridor. Room was largish and a pleasant temperature, some natural light. Comfortable beds. Good bathroom, bit narrow...

Can't get any where more central, right in the square. Vehicles only allowed so far , it's a 5 minute walk. Easy check-in, lift temperamental, room clean and tidy, comfortable bed, decent shower. Only negative, there's no bedside light , bit of an inconvenience. Breakfast OK, great views from the dining room. I had a balcony with my room, great views.

Facing the main square Hotel Cajupi is close to many restaurants. The outdoor dining area on the top floor offers a panoramic view ot the town and nearby plains. Rooms were clean with consistent wi-fi access. The hotel offer a modest breakfast buffet. When I dined there the only fruit served was sliced watermelon. The coffee was also weak.

Right on the edge of the old cobblestone paved streets of the city of stone. This hotel is very good option. Breakfast was very good. They do not accept credit cards.Bar service was also very good. We recommended!

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!

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!

Absolutely superb! I highly recommend this place. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome with their friendly attitude and warm hospitality. The service was incredibly fast – everything arrived in record time – yet the quality of the food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. What makes it even more special is the atmosphere: it’s the...

We stayed in the King Suite and had a wonderful experience. The view from the room was stunning, especially at sunset, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The room’s air conditioning worked perfectly, which made our stay very comfortable. The resort is beautiful—especially in the evenings—and the food was excellent. We also really enjoyed the Kerculla wine, which added a lovely local touch to...

Oh what a find! We were slightly nervous about our Albania trip and we really did not need to be. It was an hour’s drive from Sarande in to the mountains to Gjirokaster via some stunning scenery but there was not much habitation in between. We were apprehensive about what we would find on our arrival in Gjirokaster. The village itself is absolutely stunning with loads of culture and history and...

Clean room, great food and very friendly, pro active staff! We wished we stayed longer. One full day can be spent by the pool with amazing views of the old town! The pool water is super clean too! Food and drinks were reasonably priced and there’s free parking! Stay as long as possible!

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...

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

Staying here is like staying with family - the service was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and it is in a great location. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend

The staff was very kind. They even offered us the best view in the house. There were no other guests staying there the day arrived but still, this was very thoughtful.

What a delightful hotel! Small, cosy, traditional with a stunning terrace overlooking the rooftops of Gjirokaster. Very friendly staff who sorted luggage transfers and made our group so welcome. My room at the top had its own little balcony - I could happily have stayed here for weeks! A wonderful place.

Beautiful hotel, Very traditional design, lots of wood including bedroom ceiling Modern bathroom. Some of the most friendly hotel staff on our trip ... lovely people Breakfast provided. Used underground car park at the square and someone from hotel gelped with our bags. Highly recommend staying here

All perfect, location, breakfast, hotel, room, staff, recommend.

Very nice hotel...a struggle to find, but worth it. Clean and tidy, nice staff with good English. Large room out front was comfy but you do get morning noise, i might have preferred no view as we didn't sit in the room at all.

I can definitely recommend this small hotel. Very cozy, friendly and helpful staff, nice pool and a little gym with a great view. Located right next to the old town. Our room was on the top floor and the roof was a little low, but it was clean, nice and with good air conditioning

Lovely small hotel in an old house, very close the bazaar centre. Good size rooms, modern bathroom. Also a small swimming pool and patio area where they serve a big and varied breakfast. Helpful staff, couldn't fault it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It’s more like a boutique hotel or bed and breakfast. Wonderful welcome by the staff. Our room was spacious for our family of 4. We were considering a larger resort there, but I’m so happy we didn’t. Praga was closer and a short walk to the old town and…that big resort is not walkable to the sites. The room was super clean and had modern and nice bathrooms. The...

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

Great hotel with a great location. Nice breakfast!

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...

Beautiful little 9-room pension/hotel right in the historic district.

This place was great! The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend.

I’d an amazing stay at Palorto hotel! The owners were really friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was one of the best ones that I’d recently. When I requested for an iron, I got it in 5 minutes! Brilliant service and I’d book it again if I plan to visit albania again!

SUPER ! SUPER! A great location on the main street of Gjirokastra. The hotel has 2 bars (one on the ground floor and one on the first floor) and a playground for children with supervised staff. Quality drinks and very good service. The cleaning service is at a top level. The hotel staff is very friendly. The owner of the hotel speaks English at an advanced level and there is no question of lack of...

Great service, all kind and willing to help ... spotlessly clean and very nice views of the castle

I would say no more than passable as the room was very basic. I put three stars given the very low price of the room. Instead, I liked the breakfast, very "robust" and the magnificent view of the historic center of Gjirokastra, since we had a room on the upper floors. Free parking in the area.

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.

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

What a great host! He was so kind, drive us to the town, helped us with everything. Uniqe service! We highly recommend! The room has a great vibe, it was clear, and beautiful. Sweet and tasty breakfast. They also offer dinner, every meal only for 2€, for their guests! And thats great ☺️

Just 15 minutes of walk to the castle of Gjirokastra. And the owner offered also free transport . Clean rooms and an extreme quiet ,made our staying unforgettable. Typical South Albanian dishes offered at the restaurant downstairs. Highly recommended

Clean rooms, good food made by the owners and the owner provided excellent service. Taxi service provided, which is an absolute plus. Stay here when you come to Gjirokaster. if we ever come again we will stay again here for sure. 100% recommended.

Excellent hotel with onsite restaurant and closed parking very close to the city centre. Host is very welcoming and helpful. He was fulfilling all our requests, he drove us to the castle in his own car free of charge. Dinner was very good and inexpensive and breakfast very good as well. Highly recommended to everyone who is interested to visit gjirojakester.

Interesting local hotel, really friendly people and cheap hotel. Rooms were really clean, so were sheets. It is inexpensive compared to other places around the area. definitely worth every dollar spent here. staff is friendly and helpful navigating through city.

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!

Exceptional spot, right behind all the noise in a peaceful alley where you can rest before shopping or dine and wine. Literally 50 meters away from the central square and 10 mins walk from all you have to see in Gjirokaster. The manager was incredibly helpful and the breakfast was great! I would totally recommend it.

The hotel is not bad, clean and very well located. The owner a very nice and helpful person. It is next to a club and i could not sleep all night, till early morning. The breakfast was very limited and no options, just a cold byrek. Although the lady who served the breakfast was amazing.

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

Nice and clean rooms. Excellent location right in the heart of the old town. Traditional breakfast with pan cakes and honey, fried eggs with feta cheese and homemade biscuits. Family business that make you feel like home.

Lovely hotel , nice rooms , so clean , great views, just below the castle..great hospitality and delicious breakfast.

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...

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.

Clean hotel and very good staff, nice and kind. I highly recommend it.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, good and very tasty and bio food. Nice rooms, space and warm.
