We stayed 1 night in a triple room. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also good and offered a good variety including made to order eggs. The hotel is a short walk from the old Bazaar and offers amazing views of Gjirokaster, we could see the castle from our room.

Was upgraded to the second hotel of the group in the city. Only problem was it was hard to find, because a road was closed. A hotel employee found my car and took me there. Great service!

Beautiful little boutique hotel . All furnishings are set in a traditional manner. Beautifully renovated bathrooms for modern conveniences. The view from the room or balcony is stunning. Staff is friendly and helpful. Walking distance to bazaar, a large variety of bars, cafes, and restaurants and of course the castle. I highly recommend this quaint little place.

Room was exactly like a picture. 250 years old, with many original details. Very cozy place with a fantastic view. They served tasty and home made dishes for breakfast on balcony on top, again with beautiful view. Free parking. Positive experience.

Magnifique séjour dans un hôtel typique. Belle et grande chambre, personnel très sympathique, parking gratuit, très bon petit déjeuner que l'on peut prendre sur la terrasse ombragée, et à proximité du centre sans être trop proche pour ne pas subir le bruit.
