We booked the Deluxe King Suite, it's an impressively large room full of character. Good AC in the room. Nice lady who greeted us and checked us in. In a great location close to all the tourist streets.
Breakfast was ok but felt it could have been better at this price point i.e. fresh orange juice. Some noise at night due to local bars, but that's not their fault, it wasn't the worst and I am sensitive to noise. Beware that parking in this area is challenging, there's only 2 spaces for the hotel and the streets to get there are very tight, you may be best to park in the town centre underground car park and walk up.

The Old Bazaar was absolutely perfect! I wanted to stay in a traditional hotel/house in Gjirokaster and I was not disappointed by the beautiful room -with a small patio and view of the mosque --with its impeccable decorations and gorgeous furniture. The owner has paid attention to every detail, while integrating modern "creature comforts". The bathroom was spacious and had an ample walk-in shower. The common areas for breakfast were absolutely divine with a gorgeous view of the valley below. I cannot rave enough about the hospitality. Both the owner and her staff, especially the evening/overnight doorman host, were beyond kind and helpful. He especially had lots of tips of where to go in town, and was helpful arranging a taxi to my bus, among other things. The breakfast was fabulous and abundant: fruits, cheese, eggs, Albanian pancakes and honey, delicious coffee and fresh cool water from the local spring. Please make sure you eat a lot because the staff puts tremendous effort and love into this breakfast and it shows. I left early in the morning, and the same evening/night host arranged to have the breakfast ready for me an hour early. I hadn't asked, but it was this sort of attention to detail that makes this place very special. I was disappointed only that I had just two nights here and couldn't stay longer in Gjirokastër. It is a charming town with incredible views, and a slow pace. Enjoy your time!
Everything was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay in this traditional Ottoman house lovingly converted into a hotel. The hosts showed us around on arrival. Those with mobility issues should be aware there are quite a few stairs and no lift. But that didn't put us off. We stayed in the Queen's Suite, which was comfortable and clean. The location is perfect - 15 mins hike to the Castle and 10 mins to the Old Bazaar. Loved stepping back in time. The breakfast was good spread.

Beautiful building, good location right above old town. We did not have any issues with noise from traffic or restaurants, but did wake up owing to religious sounds. Comfy beds, spacious veranda. Good breakfast (though juice was not fresh) served by a very nice lady. There's a parking right across (doesn't belong to the hotel) which is practical.
No electric kettle, no coffee/ tea facilities. Fridge was not plugged in when we arrived and this wasn't visible.

This hotel was absolutely amazing, mostly due to the incredible staff, particularly Anila, who was just the loveliest and kindest of persons. She and her male colleague (I forgot his name) treated us beautifully, including making sure we had something to eat and coffee before our early departure. They know how to provide excellent customer service. The location of the hotel is the best in Gjirokaster, located right in the center of the old city and close to the old house museums, the castle fortress, and the old bazaar and restaurants. You couldn’t find a more convenient location in Gjirokaster. Finally, we had the King Suite (Room 206), which was magical and made us feel like we were back in time and staying like a Pasha in the best room in the city. This hotel was absolutely superb in every way!
This hotel is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Loved the traditional decor and the big spacious room. It’s an amazing location in the immediate vicinity of the old Bazaar. The host at reception and Anilla who handles the bookings, were very friendly, welcoming and accomodating. We had to leave the hotel early on our last day, so they ensured breakfast was ready for us a half hour earlier than the usual time.
There was a musty smell from the rooms bathroom drains, but I guess this is to be expected from an older hotel and location.

A charming and authentic stay in the heart of Gjirokastër’s old town. The location is perfect, just steps away from the historic bazaar. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of character, with beautiful traditional decor. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the true atmosphere of Gjirokastër.

Great location right next to the Old Town. A perfect size room for one night with comfortable bedding. Once we arrived, we walked everywhere which helped remove the stress of driving on the tight roads. The manager was very kind and helpful with recommendations and was eager to please. We also enjoyed the breakfast selection!

Perfect location, historical building, personnel very helpful and friendly (especially the man on the nightshift). Breakfast typical for Albania: fried eggs, fried sausages, tomato, cucumber, bread and different marmelades. When I asked for gluten free breakfast (celiac disease) they managed to make it possible. I haven't yet found gluten free bread in Albania! They have a few hotel parking spots, but there's also a parking lot right behind the hotel.
Nothing !

The people were happy to have us visit for the second time. They helped us out with parking, showed us around the beautiful house, and had our table waiting for breakfast every morning.
Nothing.
