“In Gjirokaster, this place stands out for its prime location near the castle, accessible even by a shortcut near the pool, which I found quite unique. I believe its slightly secluded spot, coupled with views of the valley, offers a peaceful retreat. With added perks like convenient parking and a delicious breakfast, it seems like a well-rounded choice.”

was so good

easy accesswonderful viewconvenient walk

the location provided easy access to the castle. i had wonderful views of the historical town from the hotel. the short walk to bars and restaurants was very convenient.

frühstück erfüllte die erwartungen nicht. in einem der zimmer, die wir gebucht hatten, war das bett nicht frisch gemacht worden, es fanden sich haare und hautschuppen auf dem laken. später abends wurden meine mitreisenden von einem fremden mann belästigt, der ihnen bis in die hotel anlage folgte. niemand von der reception war bei diesem zwischenfall erreichbar, obwohl laut buchung 24/7 jemand ereichbar sei. bei der abreise sagte man uns, man werde die "videoaufnahmen" überprüfen. ich bezweifle jedoch, dass es kameras auf dem grundstück gibt.
