    Great position near the bus station as we arrived at 3am. We could walk to accommodation. Clean and comfortable, we had the choice of 2 rooms, and choose more spacious one.

    Value for money place to explore Gjirokaster

    The rooms are very basic. No bed side lamps. Little atmosphere. Drinks vending machine in the corridor. The staff have to be called so that took a few minutes every time we needed someone, but they are very friendly.

    The Freskia is a value for money option if you visit Gjirokaster, especially by car. It is in the lower part, not up with the bazar and castle. We enjoyed the walk up and down, through the old neighbourhood with house of Kadare, but it is a bit steep so you are not up to it, a taxi is required. We paid very little. There is an excellent cafe om the opposite of the street were we had great coffee for breakfast. The area where the hotel is situated is not very much visited by foreign tourists, which we really think was a plus.

    I wish they had shampoo samples. They were offering a Garnier shampoo which was placed in the washbasin, but later on I realized it was filled in with a hand soap instead of a shampoo.

    The room was extremely clean and the furniture modern and comfortable. The location was perfect and really close to a super market.

    There's no shower curtain and limited hot water (we were not informed about it). AC works but not its remote control, but the temperature was fortunately fine. Only triple and quadruple rooms available for booking on the website, but in fact there are also cheaper double rooms if you happen to drop by spontaneously.

    Comfortable, new and spacious. We also had the room that faced the main street, and the view of the city. The hotel is located in walking distance from/to the intercity bus stop right before the hill - this is a good choice if you don't want to carry stuff uphill or take an extra intracity bus. And, it is in the (new) city center. Not all staff speak English, but more or less communicable and amicable.

    The elevator would be helpful.

    Very good hotel. Top rooms, superb location especially if you need the bus to Ioannina, it is right in front of it. It is much better to stay here than in the old town as it is very difficult to bring your luggage so up the hill, you need a taxi. The room was clean and everything was quite professional. Also the view from the balcony is over the castle, top. A lot of restaurants and cafes nearby.

    Lovely room clean and comfy with a lovely balcony. Located close to the bus station. The old town/castle is located up the hill so easy enough to jump in a taxi up there or a steady 20 min walk.

    A bit of a trek still when going up the hill, but it wasn't bad at all.

    Great location right at the bottom of the hill up to the Bazaar and all the attractions in town. Close to lots.of restaurants and very easy to access the bus station in town.

    The room is a little outdated, but for one or two nights good value for money. A little problem with parking - you should park along the road and it can be sometimes difficult to find vacant place.

    The location is great. You can see the great view of the fortress directly from the balcony. We came at night and were were kindly greeted by a lovely receptionist. Responded quickly to messages, even though the hour was late. Thanks a lot!
