    The location was perfect. they accommodated my request for no stairs. free breakfast. very clean. very nice people. I accidentally dropped my heating coil on the sheets which created a hole. I offered to pay for new sheets but they refused the money. very kind and generous owners.

    The music outside of the rooms. It's a place that don't sleep, but the other side it's a conform and beautiful hotel 😊

    The hotel was like an old traditional house from Gjirokastria, very beautiful and comfortable. Celan and very lovely. And very welcoming and friendly staff

    It is pretty noisy till 0:00 and from 6:30/7:00 for us no problem but light sleepers should be aware.

    Amazing location. Marian is the best host in Albania. Historic building.

    As comes with staying in the middle of any busy area, it was noisy at night time and early in the morning. All part of the experience.

    Beautiful room in the heart of the Bazaar. Great view from the window - overlooking the buzz of activity in the bazaar.

    It’s a big shame that a Irish pub has been opened in the centre and on Fridays and Saturdays plays very loud music outside their venue until midnight which can make it hard to sleep. The pub really detracts from Gjirokaster, you can hear it’s music from any venue in the town.

    Fantastic place to stay, the rooms are lovely and it’s right in the centre of the old bazaar. The family who run it are incredibly kind and welcoming plus has a yummy breakfast included!

    Very very noisy as above night clubs and bars and sound of road, especially in a weekend. Music shuts off at midnight. Also coffee wasnt included in breakfast.

    Amazing hospitality from the family and staff that work there, very accomodating and responsive. Very kind also helping with bags and checking in. Location is ideal to the main bazaar and Castle and eateries. Wifi strong. Breakfast delicious

    Being at the center, sometimes make you problem at the level of negativity. We have arrived there and there has been going on National Folk Festival which happens every 4 year. Hundreds of people with busses were coming to the Gjirokastre castle and all these things block our 2 night stay at the place. - Shower and toilet is a bit small so that sometimes you feel more like having shower with the people on the street - Toilet stinks - Night clubs around until 1-2 am. (maybe because of Folk Festival)

    Location is more than centric as it is described. It is at the center of the center. Rooms are as it is described in the photos. You are directly in the old town, means close to all local shops, restaurants and castle. During Folk festival you feel the celebration inside of you. Breakfast is paid by the facility and having a good view at a nearby place. Parking is paid by the facility and it is close to the place.

    It’s right next to a club with extremely loud music until midnight. Tbere were issues with the kitchen so we had to have breakfast at another hotel which was extremely bland and cold

    The room was gorgeous with a lovely view of the mountains and the bazaar

    Though it was not sound proof and quiet at all. Right next to a pub that closed at 3 am. Had the worse night ever, did not sleep at all. Felt like they were standing in your room, so bad was it isolated.

    The location was very nice, the interior of the room as well and your view towards the cute streets was really cute. Though it was not sound proof and quiet at all.
