Cute guest house, with amazing views. The family is very welcoming and make a very delicious breakfast! Located by the castle, though it's a slightly steep walk down to the old town

One of the best places we've ever stayed at. The hosts were exceptionally helpful, friendly and kind. The hotel was the cleanest, cozy and most comfortable. We had the best sleep and time at this place! Thank you Castle View😄

We liked everything about the hotel - the friendly family-owners, the beautyful room, the closeness to everything and not to forget the most spectakular view. Thank you for providing us with wonderful breakfast-to-go.

Spectacular surroundings. Great hosts. Breakfast with beautiful view. Note: Google Maps guided us through the old city. Those roads are crazy. There is a way on the backside which is a much more convenient.

Great location with a fabulous view of the castle and town. The room was lovely with a traditional wood carved ceiling. Albi and his family were very welcoming and helpful. Very nice!

The difficulty to find the hotel. On booking they're registered as 'Hotel with Castle View' but when you ask, nobody knows where it is situated. 'Hotel Castle' (not Castle Hotel!) might ring a bell sooner. Avoid getting there via the old city of Gjirokaster as it is a steep narrow cobble-stoned road. Better is to follow the SH4 and take the exit to the Castle. It's a paved road up and let's you enter the city near the hotel.

The spacious, clean and in style decorated room with beautiful view of the old city and the castle. Excellent beds, a huge well equiped bathroom, free parking and especially the friendly and helpful family who runs the hotel.

Hard to find location and took some time to find place. You need to make sure you travel behind castle and not centre of town.

We have stayed few times in Gjirokaster and this one is best with food, atmosphere and location. Granny is amazing and her cooking is outstanding. We arrived and had late lunch - so tasty. Her little baby grandson entertained us with his smile. Beautiful place with stunning views.

Location was amazing! Just where you wannabe. The patio at the roof of the building has a pretty view on Gjirokaster castle. Rooms are spacious and clean, free parking, good wifi, homemade breakfast and a friendly family that runs this place.

All perfect!

This is one of those places that deserves an 11, not a 10. We booked one night and stayed another and wished we had more days. The location is perfect, right near the castle and high up the hill. There are several restaurants in the old town down the hill but also several good places closer just around the property and up. Breakfast on the terrace with that awesome view, what a wonderful start to the day. We had a triple room and it was very spacious with great beds. It's a family hotel and everyone we interacted with was so very friendly. It was a nice bonus to have a place to park the car. So many nice things about this place, it was a perfect choice.

Spacious beautiful room in small hotel with spectacular views over Gjirokastra and beyond. The family are so friendly and welcoming and the grandmother cooked up some delicious breakfast treats. Breakfasts on the terrace were one of the highlights of our Albania trip

Great place with a beautiful view of the castle. Easily accessible through the newly build road that enables you to reach the property without having to go through the narrow city streets. Once you park the car, the castle and the main city attractions are within a 5 minute walk. The owner was most helpful and accommodating.

Probably the best place we stayed in Albania. The family room was very spacious and very comfortable. The owners of the hotel were extremely friendly with us and with our small daughter. The hotel is a bit difficult to find, but the owner was very happy to pick us up from the point in which we were. Be careful if you follow GPS or Google maps because it brings you through the old town (with very narrow streets) and to a street with stairs that you cannot circulate with car. There is a new road that goes from the beginning of the city, all the way behind the castle. Follow that till the end. From there it is easier to find the hotel or ask someone around. There is free parking next to the hotel. Breakfast was very nice too, upstairs in the terrace with views to the castle. We were served among others freshly made "Petullas" .

Ran out of hot water one morning but ok the next.

Very spacious and recently renovated room, clean, great views of castle and valley especially from outdoor terrace, breakfast, friendly staff. Quiet. Close to old town but an uphill walk to return.
