Hotels With Wifi in Gjirokaster, Albania

"This hotel is simply to be avoided. A hostess at the reception desk, with a slight smirk, tells you the hotel is fully booked and there’s nothing she can do. My request was to change rooms because the one I was assigned had as its only view a wall less than a meter from the window. On the booking platforms, it’s listed as an economy room, but nowhere does it mention such a view—and while the photos show daylight, it’s completely misleading. It’s just appalling that a 4-star hotel would market this kind of room. There’s no on-site parking; it’s located at a competitor’s place down the road, and it’s a paid service. The staff are friendly, except for that receptionist. Cet hôtel est juste à fuir. Une hôtesse à la réception qui vous répond,non sans un petit rictus, que l’hôtel est complet et qu’elle ne peut rien faire. Ma demande concernait un changement de chambre car celle qui m’était attribuée avait comme seule vue un mur situé à moins d’un mètre de la fenêtre. Sur les plates-formes, il est précisé chambre économique mais en aucun cas avec une telle vue et d’après les photos, on voit de la clarté mais c’est totalement trompeur. Il est juste lamentable qu’un hôtel 4 étoiles commercialise ce type de chambre. Pas de parking sur place, il est situé chez le concurrent en bas pour une prestation payante. Personnel sympathique à l’exception de cette réceptionniste."

"Kotoni B&B has a nice hotel front for photo-taking. It is located near the Castle and Bazaar. Our Check-in was problematic despite having already spent some effort trying to clarify about bed arrangements/type way before arriving. Thought the matter was looked into satisfactorily only to find out otherwise upon arrival, which left us with no choice but to end up having to pay extra euro 175 for an extra room in two places over the 4-night stay. Hot water in the room was dangerously hot. To avoid being scathed by the boiling hot water in the shower, I had to resort to using the well- mixed hot water from the sink for my shower by containing the ater using my own cup! Didn't raise the issue with owner due to already being disappointed with the bedding issue. Didn't want to mar my stay further. Overall managed to still enjoy the stay at Gjirokaster and noted there are many accommodation options so will try to book at other places since I may return."

"It's pretty sad."

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Kalemi 2 in Gjirokastër! The hotel itself is full of charm, beautifully combining traditional Albanian architecture with modern comfort. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — fresh, varied, and served with care in a lovely setting. A small tip for travelers arriving by car: Google Maps can sometimes make mistakes when guiding you to the hotel, so it’s best to double-check the route or contact the reception for directions — the staff are very friendly and always ready to help. Overall, a fantastic place to stay in Gjirokastër — cozy, authentic, and with great hospitality!"

"The hotel is located at the top of a majestuous site. Excellent restaurant, the rooms are splendid and the charming staff. The equipment (pools, jacuzzi, gym etc ) are perfectly maintained and the whole site is brilliantly clean. The quality/price ratio is incredible."

"Maradona is the host and comes to terminal to pick you up which is super convenient for people traveling without car. Good location to city center Bazar and castle in 10min walk. Recommend people to stay one night to enjoy Gjirokaster."

"We loved this place! The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was nicely updated and the water pressure and temperature were good. I was pleased that they provided memory foam pillows."
