Reviews of The Fir Gate

The accommodation was really nice, great location and very nice environment. The staff was very nice. It is very affordable. I definitely recommend it to others. :))

Gjirokastra is a beautiful city, and the house's location is ideal for those wishing to travel there. It is situated between the castle and the old city center. The accommodations are comfortable and immaculate (as is the case with all Gjirokastra homes), despite the basic furnishings. Parking is available in the alley in front of the house, and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple but very tasty and is served on a small, pleasant terrace. If I ever wanted to travel to Gjirokastra, I would gladly return to this property.

Though for us it was not an issue, the Wi-Fi could be better.

We had a pleasant stay which we enjoyed a lot. The guesthouse was straight to the center of the city, the location was perfect and everything inside was perfectly cleaned. Thank you. 😊

Fantastic apartment located in the heart of Gjirokastër’s old town—just a 5-minute walk from the Old Bazaar where all the giftshops, bars and restaurants are located and 10 minutes from the castle. The place was spotlessly clean, and communication with the host was excellent and they were very helpful. Breakfast was also very good and tasty.

The road to the apartment can be a bit challenging due to the narrow and steep streets, but it's definitely manageable—especially if your car has a bit more power than mine did ;-)

The view from the property is amazing. The bed was very comfy and the A/C was great. Albin is such a kind man from the start. He helped me park the car before we had even arrived. He was available when we needed help with turning the cooker on late at night. The breakfast was included and was huge and tasty. We would 100% recommend this property to any traveller that likes a taste of local culture.

The kitchen was slightly outdated with gas burners instead of cooker. However, it was still fully functional and we were able to cook a meal with no problems.

Thjeshtesia edhe origjinaliteti e nje shtepie tipike Gjirokastrite edhe mikpritja e ngrohte e njerezve nuk ka te paguar🇦🇱🇦🇱❤️

It was very nicely located near the castle and the old town. We were there in April so the room felt cold but they provided enough blankets to feel comfortable at night. The breakfast on the terrace was delicious with a beautiful view and the owner was super friendly and responsive.

I liked the location

the room was very cold at night, I would like just to know before.

I really liked the local breakfast. The room was really clean and it was located in the center of the city.

It was very humid and cold (we stayed at the end of October). Even AC couldn't heat that room. Also the AC was very loud.

Very comfortable room. Great views over to the mountain when having breakfast on the patio. Good, hearty breakfast and lovely mountain tea. Very convenient for attractions in old town. Albin was a great host.

Nothing

The room was clean, perfectly tidy. It’s a traditional house in the heart of the city center run by a family. The host was very nice and attentive, provided us with recommendations and helped park our car. While the entire city is steep, the location is ‘easily’ accessible compared to other places in the area. Also, delicious breakfast with amazing views.

Staff was super kind and they try to help you in anything you need.

The bathroom from downtstairs is a little bit old.

The location and breakfast was phenomenal!!!

The extra blankets were smelly.

The room was spacious and very well located

There was no refrigerator to keep some fresh water and food

Good location, good value for money, free breakfast.

Great small family run guest house. You have a large room and adjoining private bathroom to yourself. Freshly cooked breakfast in the morning. 5 minutes walk downhill to the old town, 10 minutes steep walk uphill to the castle. Get a taxi if you arrive by bus, the town is very steep to walk upto.

I‘d like to especially point out that the breakfast has been amazing!
