Nice, traditional hotel, good value

Would have been more comfortable and more cost effective to have had a 3 bed and a 2 bed room rather than all 5 in one family room.

Beautiful traditional property.

Great spot close to Bazaar and good restaurants. Lovely staff. Quiet. Some rooms like staying in a traditional house.

Great location right next to the Old Town. A perfect size room for one night with comfortable bedding. Once we arrived, we walked everywhere which helped remove the stress of driving on the tight roads. The manager was very kind and helpful with recommendations and was eager to please. We also enjoyed the breakfast selection!

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like

The property was beautiful and in such a great location. The price was very cheap for what we got and the breakfast was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was so incredibly nice as well.

Very beautiful, perfectly restored room. We felt like in a museum. The host were very attentive and always available. The location is near to the historic city center and most sights

A charming and authentic stay in the heart of Gjirokastër’s old town. The location is perfect, just steps away from the historic bazaar. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of character, with beautiful traditional decor. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the true atmosphere of Gjirokastër.

No electric kettle, no coffee/ tea facilities. Fridge was not plugged in when we arrived and this wasn't visible.

Beautiful building, good location right above old town. We did not have any issues with noise from traffic or restaurants, but did wake up owing to religious sounds. Comfy beds, spacious veranda. Good breakfast (though juice was not fresh) served by a very nice lady. There's a parking right across (doesn't belong to the hotel) which is practical.

Staff were welcoming and the property is beautiful

Breakfast was ok but felt it could have been better at this price point i.e. fresh orange juice. Some noise at night due to local bars, but that's not their fault, it wasn't the worst and I am sensitive to noise. Beware that parking in this area is challenging, there's only 2 spaces for the hotel and the streets to get there are very tight, you may be best to park in the town centre underground car park and walk up.

We booked the Deluxe King Suite, it's an impressively large room full of character. Good AC in the room. Nice lady who greeted us and checked us in. In a great location close to all the tourist streets.

A beautiful room in a historic building centrally located just minutes from the castle and the bazaar district of Gjirokaster. Very good breakfast and friendly staff.

Everything was perfect.

The Old Bazaar was absolutely perfect! I wanted to stay in a traditional hotel/house in Gjirokaster and I was not disappointed by the beautiful room -with a small patio and view of the mosque --with its impeccable decorations and gorgeous furniture. The owner has paid attention to every detail, while integrating modern "creature comforts". The bathroom was spacious and had an ample walk-in shower. The common areas for breakfast were absolutely divine with a gorgeous view of the valley below. I cannot rave enough about the hospitality. Both the owner and her staff, especially the evening/overnight doorman host, were beyond kind and helpful. He especially had lots of tips of where to go in town, and was helpful arranging a taxi to my bus, among other things. The breakfast was fabulous and abundant: fruits, cheese, eggs, Albanian pancakes and honey, delicious coffee and fresh cool water from the local spring. Please make sure you eat a lot because the staff puts tremendous effort and love into this breakfast and it shows. I left early in the morning, and the same evening/night host arranged to have the breakfast ready for me an hour early. I hadn't asked, but it was this sort of attention to detail that makes this place very special. I was disappointed only that I had just two nights here and couldn't stay longer in Gjirokastër. It is a charming town with incredible views, and a slow pace. Enjoy your time!

The people were happy to have us visit for the second time. They helped us out with parking, showed us around the beautiful house, and had our table waiting for breakfast every morning.

Beautiful old house. Very clean and comfortable. Staff very professional and welcoming. Awesome breakfast. Awesome location 3 min walk from the citadelle/castle. In the old bazaar. Right In the middle of what you need to visit. We really enjoyed our stay

There was a musty smell from the rooms bathroom drains, but I guess this is to be expected from an older hotel and location.

Loved the traditional decor and the big spacious room. It’s an amazing location in the immediate vicinity of the old Bazaar. The host at reception and Anilla who handles the bookings, were very friendly, welcoming and accomodating. We had to leave the hotel early on our last day, so they ensured breakfast was ready for us a half hour earlier than the usual time.

Shower & toilet.

Good breakfast.

The location is very central which convenient but too much noise from the center in the evening (music, parties...) not ideal to rest.

Beautiful hotel, rooms are very clean and confortable, the breakfast is lavish and excellent. The staff is absolutely adorable and very helpful
