Nothing, it was perfect.

Kore Guest House was PERFECT! We absolutely loved our say there. Location was great - down a quiet street but 2mins walk to the bazaar. The room was authentic with a lovely modern bathroom. It was easy to navigate too and the parking was spacious and free. The host and her parents were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was incredibly generous, delicious and definitely enough to set you up for a day of adventuring. Cannot recommend this place more!!

Perfect location near the museum, old bazaar and castle. The hosts were amazingly friendly and helped us with where to go on our short stay. The breakfast in the morning was the perfect way to start the day

Absolutely the best placed we stayed! Exceptional old city and exceptional accommodation. Everything was clean and in new/good working order. We loved our traditional breakfast on the patio area with a fantastic view of the rooftops and sites special to this town. The owner is so lovely and truly takes pride in her business. The markets, castle and restaurants were all fun and interesting to explore. We would have stayed longer if time allowed. Thank you!

Not applicable since we loved our stay at Kore Guest House!

The owners were a gem of the Albanian hospitality! My wife and I were truly impressed to see how kind and accommodating they were. The room was cosy, historic architecture, very clean and above all best value for money!

Nothing at all. Perfect.

When I couldn’t find the place, a staff member found ME! Super-nice staff. The rooms are very artsy and cute. I asked the owner if she was an artist and she said she was. You can see it in the beautiful, rustic rooms. Perfect location, in the old town, but at the fringes so the noise doesn’t bother you. I can’t recommend this place enough!

A perfect stay! This guest house is a true gem in the heart of the city: central yet quiet, the ideal location to explore everything on foot. The rooms, all beautifully crafted in wood, are cozy, warm, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. And the breakfast… simply amazing! Generous, varied, and made with high-quality ingredients – a real highlight of the day. The owners are absolutely lovely: kind, attentive, and caring – they truly make you feel at home. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended! 🌟

Nothing. It was perfect.

This is a family run guest who could not do enough to make us feel welcome. The guest house is very central, only a few minutes from the bazaar with all the bars and restaurants and very close to the castle and Cold War tunnels too. The breakfast was amazing and great views to wake up to. We would definitely stay here again. The room was very clean.

We stayed one night at Kore Guesthouse and completely fell in love. Every little detail was so cute and so Albanian, from the decor to the cozy atmosphere, you could feel the love and effort in every corner. The terrace had the most stunning view over the city and surrounding mountains — truly unforgettable. And the breakfast? Homemade petulla, fresh jam… everything was delicious and made with so much care. It was such a warm, beautiful experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back! 💛

This is seriously a ten star guest house! The owner is so lovely and helpful, giving us recommendations in town and what tourist traps to avoid. The rooms are clean, cute and comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight overlooking the stunning mountains, and the food was honestly incredible. Please book here, I couldn't recommend it enough.

The room was very spacious and it was very comfortable, the view from the terrace where breakfast is served is amazing and all the main places to visit were nearby, walking distance. The breakfast was lovely, made by a lovely lady! We reached the place by driving a city car, hyundai i10.

Absolutely stunning place!! The room is beautifully decorated , traditional and so clean. The view on the terrace is exceptional. We were so heartily welcomed and looked after by Mathilda and her mother and family. It felt like home! The location is ideal ! Only a short distance from the old bazaar , restaurants and bars. The castle is on the other side but you get an amazing view of it from the terrace. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!
