Stone City Hostel - Gjirokaster

The balcony/patio was an absolute dream, providing a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering interesting local anecdotes during the tour. The location of the hostel was great, just a short walk from the restaurants and museums in the old town.

The lack of an additional toilet was a bit inconvenient as it often felt crowded with only two available. It would have been nice to have the option to turn off the air conditioning at night because it got freezing cold.

The room was comfortable and spacious, with lockers to keep my backpack safe. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old town.

The hotel breakfast menu could have been better with a wider variety of options.

The value for money at this hostel was unbeatable, with a room that wasnice and neat. The location in the heart of the old town was perfect, and the staff treated us like family.

Breakfast selection could use a little more variety.

The owner, Walter, took the time to chat with me about the city's history. The house has been beautifully restored with all the modern comforts I needed. It's centrally located, and the staff provided great recommendations for food and attractions. The breakfast was delicious, and the bathroom was super clean. I highly recommend this hostel.

Hard to think of anything.

Absolutely adored the lovely view from the room which was clean and cozy with a comfy bed that I couldn't complain about, also the fresh breeze from the patio was marvellous. The location of the hostel was just perfect, walking distance to the bazaar and to some nice eateries. Breakfast was great, that was a super cozy and friendly opportunity to get to know the other guests from around the world. I loved the free walking tours and the friendly owners too, they made my stay extra special.

The street to the hostel is a bit rotten, so be wary that it’s a hassle if you come with a trolley or suitcase with wheels. It was a little bit uncomfortable sleeping through the night, so better get a fan if you're planning to visit the city during the summer months.

If you're looking for a perfectly located, beautifully furnished hostel with a unique and cozy atmosphere, this is the place for you. the rooms and bathrooms are clean and well-equipped, and the friendly staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. the complimentary breakfast is delicious, with a variety of options including homemade cakes. Plus, the hostel organizes amazing walks and hikes to enjoy. You won't find another hostel at this standard.

Limited options compared to other hostels.
