The owner was incredibly nice, welcoming, helpful and generous. We arrived late and she accommodated us really quickly and gave us water and fruit. The location was just a street walking distance from the bazaar and other touristic streets. Beautiful views and really comfy beds.

Since my last visit in 2010 the town has turned into some sort of tourist trap. Masses of day visitors seem to flood it in the afternoon and you have to leave the "Bazar" area to get some local food at a local level (of price and service).
Be prepared for the steep ascents - particularly on a wet day.

Everything about the town I liked.
Everything about the town I liked. Drove to Blue Eye, which was a pleasant hilly drive with views. Love old town and the history. I spent 2 nights and it was perfect length of stay. Not an easy town to walk in because it is hilly and cobblestone, but walking slow is not a problem! Need a map or a really good sense of direction to find things. Walked to Ali Pasha bridge viewpoint and then hiked down to the bridge.
The Albanian people are so kind, always smiling and ready to help.
The drive from Tirana airport to Gjirokaster was fairly easy. I followed google maps and had no wrong turns. 3 hour drive.

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

Only had time to visit the castle.
Only had time to visit the castle. Spent several hours there. Would love to come back for the folk arts festival and visit some of the houses with the specific architecture that put this place on the UNESCO list.
I really enjoyed my stay at Kotoni. It's located in the historic centre and a very short walk from all the main sights in Gjirokaster. The castle is a short walk away and also the bazaar where there are lots of bars and restaurants. I stayed in a single room and it was very cosy and comfortable. The breakfast included was exceptional; it was the best breakfast I've had while staying in a hotel in Europe. The food was so plentiful and varied. The hosts are also really lovely and very welcoming. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
We were not exactly sure how to get to the hotel entrance....We were so close and someone asked me which hotel I was looking for...Voila, I was directed at that point and in few meters, I was greeted by the owner! It is THE REAL CENTER of the city and great location. It was great to experience Albanian breakfast-FULL COURSE and delicious! When we somehow lost ourselves driving in the sloppy narrow street in the center, the owner found us and helped us to get out of that place. We also got great travel hints at the breakfast time.
If you go to one place in Albania, go to Gjirokaster and stay in Mele guesthouse. Edmond and his family were so welcoming and friendly. They parked our car for us and offered help with carrying the luggage. I had a stomach ache and they brought me their homemade tea. During our one night stay we ate dinner and breakfast and the food was delicious, definitely the best we had during our trip in Albania. The room was clean and cozy with a stunning view. Would definitely recommend staying in their guesthouse!!
Manjola and Nardi are excellent hosts. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Beautiful garden, surrounded by flowers and amazing scents. Comfortable room for 2 adults and 2 children. Manjola prepares tasty breakfast. We also enjoyed the veranda upstairs at night. Nardi helped us park the car (gjirokastra has very narrow and hilly streets). Location was also great. 5 mins walk to old bazaar and then going uphill up the castle. Great time in gjirokaster!
This hotel was excellent in many ways! Maradona, his wife and father ALL worked to make our stay comfortable and drove us wherever we wanted to go. Maradona was very available by phone and even spoke with our Sarande bus driver to have him drop us off so he could pick us up! The room was full of light with a great hot shower and hot delicious breakfast! They had roses planted all around the terrace which had a great view of Gjirokaster.
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
Great mattress and really quiet at night so we slept well - probably all the hills in Gjirokaster help too!
Albin is a friendly and funny guy to talk to. It’s great to chat with a local and find out more about life in Albania.
The breakfast is awesome! The best byrek we have had - big thank you to Albin’s friend’s mom for that!
Gjirokaster is a lovely place to spend a few days and this a fantastic guesthouse…..
I loved my stay in the Hotel Kalemi, what a fantastic experience. great staff, delicious breakfast with lots of varieties. they served some soup and traditional pancakes early in the morning which was really impressive. the room and the bathroom was so warm in the cold weather. the hotel staff is super helpful with everything you might need. I will miss this beautiful city and this beautiful hotel.
My stay at SS KEKEZI introduced me to the legendary hospitality of Albania. Not only did the owner's wonderful mother personally bring me snacks and treats to make me feel welcome, but the hotel is also ideally located, essentially minutes away from some of Gjirokaster's best restaurants and key tourist attractions. No complaints... and highly recommended!
Perfect location to access the Bazaar and then to the castle, with just a short but steep walk uphill. Quiet area with lovely views of the old town from our balcony. The owner was so helpful and friendly towards us. Newish hotel with traditional decor that matched the feel of the town. Definitely recommend for short breaks in Gjirokaster.
Beautiful brand new hotel. The place looked great, both inside and outside. The pool is a very nice addition which was much appreciated during the warm period we stayed there. The location is perfect, as it sits right in between the Gjirokaster Castle and the Old Town. The personel was extremely kind and continuesly offered help.
Antella welcomed us into her home and made our stay feel authentic right from the beginning. The room was immaculate and breakfast was fantastic. Antella gave us recommendations for where to eat and things to do in Gjirokaster. We would definitely recommend this place. If anything, it's too cheap! Grab a bargain.
A beautiful family run hotel close to the impressive Gjirokaster castle, very friendly hosts, everything was perfect. Easy to park outside the hotel and there is now a newly opened road so you can drive up to the hotel without having to navigate the narrow cobbled streets in the town.
Sarajet Hotel was wonderful. Everything in the room was spotless. The room was spacious and comfortable, and with very nice view of the city. Just a 7 min walk to the old bazaar of Gjirokaster. The host Martin was very kind and helpful.
Breakfast as well was very nice.
A brand new hotel with the best views of Gjirokaster! Rooms are bright and big, the bed is very comfy, breakfast is amazing and staff is very polite. I spent my 10 year wedding anniversary there and they even decorated our room. I absolutely recommend it to everyone!
We were really glad that we found this little cosy hotel, built with love. Beautiful place, quiet, clean! All the family very nice and kind. We deffinetly recommend it and if one day we go to Gjirokaster again, we will stay there.
Thank you.
The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Gjirokastra!
The hotel is very modern in the old city of Gjirokastër. The breakfast was very tasty. Also the location was perfect for a stroll through the tourist sights. The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and very clean rooms. For the price it is really a super deal. I recommend this hotel to everyone wanting a quiet stay in Gjirokaster.
